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 Squire'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 [Decrease ATK] - 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. DEF% - The skills' damage scales from DEF.

Gear set combinations

    Gives: C.RATE +10%, SPD +12%, Lethal effect
  • Lifesteal×4+Defense×2

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

  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.

Arena

Stat priority

  1. SPD - More turns means more hits and opening first in the Arena.
