A2
Eye of the Storm
Cooldown 5 → 3 with books
Attacks 1 enemy. Before attacking, places a 60% [Increase DEF] buff for 2 turns and 1 [Stormcall] stack on all allies. This attack is always critical if the number of buffs on the target is equal to or less than this Champion's.
Will ignore [Stone Skin] buff and 50% of the target's DEF if the number of buffs on the target is equal to or less than this Champion's.
If this attack kills the target, decreases the Turn Meters of all other enemies by an amount equal to the Turn Meter that the target had.
Whenever an ally under a [Stormcall] stack placed by this Champion lands a critical hit, this Champion deals additional pure damage to the target. If the target is not a Boss or a minion, the pure damage dealt is equal to 2% of the target's MAX HP for each buff on this Champion (stacks up to 10%). If the target is a Boss or a minion, the pure damage dealt is equal to 3% of the target's MAX HP. This damage cannot be critical. Occurs once per skill and once per target. Does not count as an extra hit. This pure damage ignores [Shield], [Block Damage], and [Strengthen] buffs.
If there are multiple Champions on the team with this skill, only one will activate. This skill will not activate on duplicate copies of this Champion, if this particular Champion is dead.
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 Storm Herald Hekaton'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
HP%- Bigger HP pool to soak hits for the team.
DEF%- Every point of DEF cuts the damage taken.
SPD- Protection, taunts and buffs only help if they come in time.
RES- Shrugs off enemy debuffs.
ACC- Optional - only the A1 places [Provoke], so other stats come first.

Polymorph- A deterrent against enemy debuffers - best in the Arena and against ordinary enemies, not bosses.
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.
Ward of the Fallen- Damage reduction that grows as the fight turns bad - good on a champion that must survive to keep the team's buffs and heals flowing.
Volcardiac Heart- Puts a protective buff on the whole team as the fight opens, which helps most when the first rounds are the dangerous ones.
Hand of Uncreation- Makes enemy debuffs, buff removal, turn-meter steals and cooldown increases land less often on the wearer - protects the champion that holds the team together.
Diadem of Undeath- Raises the wearer's DEF for each ally it has under its own [Ally Protection], which rewards a champion that shields others.
