Skill texts, cooldowns and book upgrades are the game's own. "Damage" is the skill's multiplier (for example 4×ATK = four times this champion's ATK, before the target's DEF) - see how damage works.

Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Balar the Lost's own skills - not a hand-tested build. Each line says why it was picked; your gear and team decide the rest. See what stats each champion needs.

PvE

Stat priority

  1. SPD - More turns means more hits.
  2. ACC - To land [Poison], [Leech], [Decrease RES] - a resisted debuff does nothing.
  3. C.RATE - Up to 100%: every crit multiplies the hit.
  4. C.DMG - How much a crit adds - stack it once C.RATE is near 100%.
  5. ATK% - The skills' damage scales from ATK.

Gear set combinations

  • Savage×4+Cruel×2
    Ignores DEF on every hit, plus ATK - the all-round damage build.

    Gives: C.RATE +10%, SPD +12%, Lethal effect

    Gives: ATK +15%, Lifesteal effect, Cruel effect
  • Cruel×2+Critical Rate×2+Speed×2
    Three 2-piece sets when your 4-piece pieces are weak.
    Gives: ATK +15%, C.RATE +12%, SPD +12%, Cruel effect

Masteries

The key pick in each tier of the two trees - hover or tap a mastery for the game's own text. How masteries work

  2. T2Keen StrikeC.DMG.
  3. T3Single OutFinishes off low-HP targets.
  4. T4Cycle of ViolenceBrings the big cooldown skills back sooner.
  5. T5MethodicalThe A1 hits harder every use.

  4. T4Lore of SteelStronger set bonuses (Speed, Accuracy...).
  5. T5Master HexerIts debuffs can last a turn longer.
  6. T6Eagle-Eye+50 ACC.

Blessings

  • Phantom Touch - Extra damage on every attack suits anyone whose job is to hit, and it needs no particular debuff or buff to work.
  • Cruelty - Many hits per turn means the target's DEF melts away; best on multi-hit attackers and in long boss fights.
  • Lightning Cage - Rewards teams that fight buffed enemies and gives any attacker a steady source of extra damage.

How blessings work

Relics

  • Irethi Coronet - Damage climbs with each debuff the wearer places, up to a cap - made for champions that apply several debuffs per turn.
  • Preserved Aberration - Ignores DEF for each [Poison] the wearer has on the target - a natural fit for poisoners.
  • Arachnelixir - Adds ATK-based bonus damage to the wearer's [Poison] debuffs, so poison kits get a lot more out of each tick.

Stat priority

  5. ACC - To land [Poison], [Leech], [Decrease RES] on Arena defenders, who usually have high RES.
