Headsman's Return [P]

Ascension 3Cooldown 1
Revives this Champion with 50% HP and full Turn Meter when dead if all allies are alive.

Does not work if there are multiple Nogdars on the team or if there are 3 or fewer total Champions on the team.

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 Nogdar the Headhunter'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

  4. 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.

  • Lethal×4+Speed×2
    C.RATE and DEF ignore in one set, with SPD to act more often.
    Gives: C.RATE +10%, SPD +12%, Lethal effect

Masteries

  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.
  6. T6WarmasterBonus damage from the target's MAX HP on most hits.

Defense

  4. T4Delay DeathTakes less damage from the same enemy over time.
  5. T5Cycle of RevengeTurn meter when allies are crit.
  6. T6Unshakeable+50 RES against crowd control.

Blessings

  • Heavencast - Strong on attackers that keep many buffs on themselves; weak for a champion that rarely carries buffs.
  • Phantom Touch - Extra damage on every attack suits anyone whose job is to hit, and it needs no particular debuff or buff to work.
  • Temporal Chains - Speed control for the whole team: slower enemies act less often, which is why it is a staple for support and control champions.

How blessings work

Relics

  • Journal of Necrotos - Boosts every heal and every turn-meter fill the wearer gives its allies, so the more of those a kit has, the more it gets.
  • Harp of Kasbiel - Support skills that do no damage still refill a little turn meter, so buffers and healers act more often.
  • Torch of Thralldom - Raises the wearer's stats for each ally of the same faction - strong on teams built around a single faction.
