Raid's newest dungeon is soon to be launched. Sand Devil's Necropolis will feature Al-Naemeh the Sand Devil and anyone strong enough to beat it will be able to obtain Lesser, Great and Superior oils needed to ascend gear their gear ranging from Rank 4 to 6. 
 
The information below is based on datamined info, if drop rates change in the future we will amend the blog post accordingly.

You shouldn't worry too much about ascension until you can comfortably farm Rank 5 and Rank 6 gear from Stage 13 and higher from any of the other dungeons. Although it is possible to ascend Rank 4 gear it is highly reccomended to not do that until much later on.

2022-12-01_17_06_51-Raid__Shadow_Legends___Update_Preview__Artifact_Ascension_-_YouTube.png

Rank 5 artifact ascension should be considered only if you are having difficulty pushing dungeons and progressing to Stage 20 where rank 6 gear has a higher chance to drop.&nbsp;

2022-12-01_17_07_01-Raid__Shadow_Legends___Update_Preview__Artifact_Ascension_-_YouTube.png

You should ideally only ascend Rank 6 Gear as the cost to fully ascend an item ramps up and the power associated with a fully ascended rank 6 item should be considerably higher. Definitely worth hoarding your resources and waiting for the right ascension rolls.&nbsp;

2022-12-09 21_53_24-Artifact Ascension Calculations - Google Sheets.png

The Sand Devil's Necropolis will feature a ramping energy cost identical to the other dungeons with Stage 25 requiring 20 energy per run. As such, we have calculated the average efficiency of expected oils per run based on the datamined drop rate percentages (there is also a 0.5% chance for an ancient shard to drop).&nbsp; 
 
Most notable areas to farm are stages 7, 11,21,24 
 
 
Important Note: Farm stages featuring DARK GREEN according to the oils you require for your next ascension.

Lesser_Oil.png

Lesser Oil&nbsp;will be farmed solely until Stage 10. In terms of efficiency for new players stage 7 will yield the higher amount of lesser oils per energy spent.

Greater_Oil.png

Greater Oil&nbsp;can be farmed from Stage 10 and higher with notable efficiency at Stage 16 for farming both Lesser and Greater Oil. The highest efficiency for strictly Greater Oil farming appears to be at stage 24(7% higher than stage 25).

Superior_Oil.png

Superior Oil&nbsp;will be of course sought out by everyone looking to max out their gear ascension as gear cannot be fully ascended without these. Starting out at Stage 17 you can farm these oils&nbsp;with the most efficient stage being Stage 25. 
&nbsp;

Breakdown of each stage and the relevant efficiency for farming Lesser, Greater and Superior Oils for RAID's new dungeon. The Sand Devil's Necropolis is soon to be released and will allow to ascend artifacts to gain more stats such as Speed, Crit Rate and Crit Damage etc.

Lord Entertainer Fabian is even better than expected. This champion brings&nbsp;relentless control, petrification, and True Fear mechanics to the battlefield, making him one of the strongest&nbsp;lockdown champions in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. If you're looking to&nbsp;disrupt enemy teams, shut down buffs, and keep turn meters in check, Fabian is your guy. But how do you build him for&nbsp;maximum impact? Let’s break it all down. <a href="https://youtu.be/WibQUzMecW4" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-2f869374-6140-4bfe-9076-5e98a3255377.PNG" title="Lord Entertainer Fabian" alt="Lord Entertainer Fabian" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Skills – Why Fabian is a Control Monster A1 – Service and Death - Double hit that steals&nbsp;10% turn meter per hit&nbsp;(20% total). - Places&nbsp;True Fear for 2 turns if the target’s turn meter is fully depleted. - Works great against&nbsp;bosses, Arena teams, and PvE waves. A2 – Unwelcome Guest (3-turn cooldown when booked) -&nbsp;Single-target attack that applies&nbsp;Petrification for 1 turn. - Places&nbsp;True Fear on all enemies who aren’t already under Fear or True Fear. -&nbsp;Passive effect: Auto-triggers whenever an enemy under Fear or True Fear uses a skill. This ability is&nbsp;game-changing in Arena, completely shutting down enemy teams. A3 – Spectral Flourish (4-turn cooldown when booked) -&nbsp;AoE attack that removes&nbsp;enemy buffs by 3 turns. -&nbsp;Increases all enemy skill cooldowns by 3 turns. -&nbsp;Grants an extra turn if enemies have no buffs left afterward. Against&nbsp;buff-heavy Arena teams, this move is a&nbsp;nightmare for your opponents. Passive – Ghost With the Most - Whenever an enemy revives, they&nbsp;get True Fear for 2 turns. -&nbsp;Removes all crowd control debuffs from Fabian before his turn starts. This passive makes&nbsp;Fabian hard to lock down -&nbsp;he’s always ready to take action. Masteries – Best Setup for Fabian Fabian relies heavily on landing debuffs and stealing turn meter, so his masteries should maximize Accuracy, speed control, and survivability. Recommended Mastery Path Support Tree (Primary Focus for Accuracy &amp; Turn Meter Control) Eagle Eye – Provides +50 Accuracy, ensuring Fabian can reliably land Petrification, True Fear, and Buff Removal. Arcane Celerity – Grants a Turn Meter boost whenever a debuff expires or is removed. Master Hexer – Increases the duration of debuffs Fabian places. Swarm Smiter – Increases Accuracy when more enemies are alive, useful for wave-based content and Arena. Defense Tree (For Counterattacks &amp; Extra Turn Meter Gain) Retribution – Grants a counterattack when Fabian loses 25% of his HP from a single hit. Deterrence – Grants a counterattack whenever an ally is hit with a Crowd Control (CC) debuff. Bloodthirst – Provides healing when Fabian lands debuffs, improving his survivability. We avoided Warmaster, since Fabian is not a damage dealer—his focus is control and debuffs, not raw DPS. Best Gear for Fabian Fabian is all about&nbsp;control, speed, and accuracy. His kit revolves around&nbsp;locking down enemies with Petrification and True Fear while removing buffs and increasing cooldowns. Stat Priorities Speed – Fabian needs to take his turn before enemies, especially in Arena. Accuracy – Essential to land&nbsp;Petrification, True Fear, Turn Meter steals, and Buff removals. HP% / Survivability – Helps him stay alive long enough to disrupt enemy teams.&nbsp; Stone Skin + Pinpoint&nbsp;– Provides extra protection&nbsp;in case Fabian doesn't go first and helps counter Polymorph teams. Feral Set&nbsp;– Maximizes Polymorph protection&nbsp;while increasing Accuracy. Triple Perception&nbsp;– If you want to maximize Accuracy, this is the best setup. Speed + Stone Skin&nbsp;– Keeps Fabian fast while adding protection. Triple Speed or Speed + Accuracy Mix&nbsp;– Ensures Fabian goes first&nbsp;in most battles. Recommended Gear Stats Weapon: ATK, SPD, ACC Helmet: HP, SPD, ACC Shield: DEF, SPD, ACC Gauntlets: HP% (or Crit Rate if needed) Chestplate: Accuracy Boots: Speed Fabian&nbsp;does not need damage -&nbsp;he is a&nbsp;pure control champion. His main job is to land debuffs, steal turn meter, and prevent enemies from taking turns. If you’re building him specifically for Arena,&nbsp;Accuracy is more important than Speed. If his A3 doesn’t land, his turn speed won’t matter. Best Relic for Fabian Since Fabian is a&nbsp;control champion, his relic should enhance his survivability, Accuracy, or resistance to enemy CC. Wand of Submission - 25% chance to reflect CC debuffs back onto the attacker. - Provides Accuracy, making it easier to land Petrification and True Fear. - Counters Polymorph-heavy teams by reflecting the sheep effect back onto the enemy. Why Wand of Submission is Strong on Fabian Fabian relies on&nbsp;landing debuffs consistently. This relic adds&nbsp;Accuracy, making his skills more reliable. He is vulnerable to CC effects like Fear, Freeze, and Polymorph. This relic bounces those debuffs back to the enemy, ensuring Fabian can stay in the fight. If an enemy team tries to Polymorph him, he has a chance to turn the enemy into a sheep instead. Best <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings </a>for Fabian Fabian’s blessings should reinforce his role as a control champion, helping him land debuffs, gain protection, or lock down enemies further. Lightning Cage – Provides&nbsp;buff protection and prevents enemies from stripping his buffs too easily. Intimidating Presence – Boosts&nbsp;allies’ Speed auras while weakening enemy Speed auras, ensuring Fabian goes first in Arena. Temporal Chains – Applies&nbsp;Turn Meter reduction when enemies gain buffs, slowing down enemy teams over time. We prefer&nbsp;Lightning Cage or Temporal Chains for PvP builds, while&nbsp;Intimidating Presence is ideal if running Fabian as a Speed Aura lead. How to Counter Fabian If you’re&nbsp;facing Fabian, here’s how to&nbsp;beat him: High Resistance – He needs Accuracy to work.&nbsp;Duchess Lilitu, Wythir the Crowned, or high RES champions can block his debuffs. Immunity Buffs – Champions like&nbsp;Necret the Great or&nbsp;Ursuga Warcaller can apply Block Debuffs, preventing Fabian’s control. Speed Teams &amp; Buff Stripping – If Fabian gets locked down first, he’s useless. Use fast teams with Kymar, Warlord, or Yoshi to prevent him from acting. Lord Entertainer Fabian Lore For all his existence, Lord Entertainer Fabian has dwelled in Aravia. His father, Patrice, was a Kaerokean diplomat to the High Elves. In his youth Fabian was tutored in horse riding, swordsmanship, and magic, as any noble son of Aravia would. He was well-liked by his Elven teachers for his impeccable manners and his grace and style in all things. He was, they said, ‘exceptional for a Human’. For his part, Fabian loved the Aravians’ high standards, especially in the glamour of formal occasions. He longed to take a place in high society. Fabian admired the High Elves’ Festival of Creation celebrations most. His father periodically held them himself, until Fabian requested at his coming-of-age that he organize them. Patrice gladly granted permission, as the work was onerous indeed. Fabian relished it. Not only did he host an event annually, but within a decade they were regarded as the best in Aravia. The events Fabian held were seen as the embodiment of tasteful sophistication, a perfect balance of opulence and restraint. He carefully managed every last detail, whether that be the kind of lace used for his musicians’ costumes, the wine accompaniment to the eighth course, the precise shade of blue for napkins, or how many buttons his servers’ waistcoats should have. Fabian preferred just one thing to organizing his events: seeing his guests enjoy them. He hoped the High Elves would come to fully accept him, not just see him as an ‘exceptional’ Human. But they did not. The Aravians liked, even loved, Fabian, affectionately calling him the ‘Lord of Levity’, but he was never one of them. Fabian’s death was sudden and premature. His body was found with a terrible head injury, and the murder was never solved. By popular demand, Fabian was posthumously granted full citizenship by Queen Eva herself and declared ‘Lord Provisioner of the Grand Ball of the Festival of Creation’ in perpetuity. Furthermore, plans for the next three years’ worth of his parties were discovered in his private offices. A public fund ensured all were held to Fabian’s exact specifications and were celebrated successes, though a shade of sadness hung over them. Fabian had won his acceptance, but was not alive to experience it. In his silver filigree and mahogany coffin, Fabian did not rest well. His soul ached to return to Teleria, for he knew he had much life to live and many more magnificent events to hold. He burst from his grave the night of the third and final party he had planned before his death, and witnessed it unfold through a window. The joviality was wonderful to behold. He also saw his new spectral form — still bearing the marks of the injuries that killed him — reflected in the glass. He was wearing a beautiful party mask, one he’d commissioned for the very event he was witnessing. It seemed his mourners had used it as a funerary mask for him. Were he able to cry, he would have wept for hours. What had become of him to end up like this even he did not know. He knew however he could not join his guests in his condition. Fabian resolved to continue his work regardless. The very next year, he held a magnificently successful party. As far as the guests were concerned, an anonymous donor had volunteered to organize the event in Fabian’s honor, their name kept secret so as not to distract from that purpose. And so it has continued ever since, for years, the people believing that each event was funded by a private individual in Fabian’s memory. The ‘Lord Entertainer’, as he became known, lives in his mansion, his Undead soul bound to it and his ancestral staff due to his love for home and family in life. He cannot leave. But even if he could, to do so would render him extremely vulnerable. Being Undead, necromancers and Siroth himself can take control of his will. Fabian is safe only because of close friends. Not only did they discover him and not destroy him, they layered magical wards across his estate. Furthermore, they made the legal arrangements to protect his ownership of his mansion. Most importantly of all to Fabian, his friends keep him company. He finally knows how appreciated he is, and takes much joy seeing others enjoy his events, but it hurts him that his Undeath means he cannot partake in them. His friends’ smiles, their words of encouragement, all give him strength to continue. With King Tayba’s War raging, he has needed this more than ever, for he intends his next celebration to be his greatest yet, to bring cheer to his bloodied people and to prove his dedication to the High Elves. He is sorely tempted to appear before his guests and remove his mask. Final Thoughts – Is Fabian Worth Building? Yes, Fabian is absolutely worth it. He’s one of the&nbsp;strongest control champions in RAID and excels in Arena and wave-based content. His True Fear, Turn Meter steals, and Petrification make him a nightmare to fight.

If you've been waiting for the perfect time to pull, this is it!&nbsp;&nbsp; What Is a Progressive Chance Event? A Progressive Chance Event&nbsp;is a limited-time summoning event that increases your odds of pulling specific Legendary Champions&nbsp;the more you summon. Here's how it works: With every non-Legendary&nbsp;summon you make during the event, your chances of pulling one of the selected Legendary Champions&nbsp;increase.

Once you successfully summon a Legendary Champion, the chance resets, and the process starts over for the next summons. This event applies to Ancient, Primal, Sacred, and Void Shards, so no matter what shards you have, you can take advantage of the increased rates. This makes Progressive Chance Events&nbsp;an amazing opportunity to maximize your resources and target specific high-value Champions&nbsp;rather than leaving your summons entirely up to luck!

Progressive Chance Event Incoming! x15 Summon Boost!

Are you looking to elevate your roster in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>? Prepare yourself for not one, but two incredible Progressive Chance Events&nbsp;this February! These limited-time events will give you at least a x15 increased chance&nbsp;to summon some of the most powerful Legendary Champions&nbsp;from Ancient, Primal, Sacred, and Void Shards. Let’s dive into the details so you can make the most of these opportunities. What is a Progressive Chance Event? A&nbsp;Progressive Chance Event increases your likelihood of summoning specific champions, offering enhanced odds that grow as you continue to summon during the event period. Here’s how it works: Increased Summon Odds: During the event, champions from a selected pool will have a much higher chance to be summoned compared to regular summons. For this event, that means at least&nbsp;x15 increased odds for some of the best Legendary Champions in the game. Shard-Based Mechanics: You’ll need to use specific shard types -&nbsp;Ancient, Primal, Sacred, or Void Shards - to participate. Each shard type determines which champions you can summon, so stock up accordingly! Strategic Summoning: Unlike typical summoning events, Progressive Chance Events focus on a curated pool of champions. If you’re targeting a particular champion to complete your team, these events provide the perfect opportunity to summon with intent. These events are a must for players aiming to build a competitive roster, whether for dungeons, arena battles, or PvE progression. Event 1: February 11th On&nbsp;Tuesday, February 11th, the Progressive Chance Event kicks off, featuring increased summon rates for the following legendary champions: Arashi the Riptide:&nbsp;A versatile champion known for dealing massive AoE damage and controlling the battlefield. Duchess Lilitu:&nbsp;One of the best support champions in the game, offering incredible healing, damage mitigation, and revives. High Keeper Prysma:&nbsp;A powerful champion excelling in both PvP and PvE battles. Glaicad of the Meltwater:&nbsp;A tanky champion with abilities that boost survivability for your team. Tatura Rimehide:&nbsp;A standout champion for Clan Boss battles and dungeon runs. Yumeko:&nbsp;A top-tier control champion capable of manipulating turn meters and cooldowns. Little Miss Annie:&nbsp;A devastating single-target damage dealer, perfect for high-value eliminations. Vlad the Nightborn:&nbsp;A hybrid champion offering sustain, crowd control, and solid damage output. Each of these champions brings a unique skill set to the table, making this event the perfect time to fill gaps in your team’s composition. Event 2: February 12th The second event begins on&nbsp;Wednesday, February 12th, with an entirely new lineup of Legendary champions: Nekmo Thaar:&nbsp;An excellent champion for debuffing enemies and boosting ally speed. Staltus Dragonbane:&nbsp;A formidable defender who thrives against AoE attackers. Eostrid Dreamsong:&nbsp;A support champion focused on buffing allies and countering enemy buffs. Gwyndolin the Silent:&nbsp;A stealthy attacker with impressive burst damage. Morrigaine:&nbsp;A debuff specialist capable of weakening enemies for extended battles. Chalco the Blind:&nbsp;A unique champion with utility that excels in crowd control. Shu-Zhen the Valorous:&nbsp;A balanced champion with strong survivability and consistent damage. Krisk the Ageless:&nbsp;One of the most coveted champions in RAID, offering unmatched support, protection, and debuff capabilities. This lineup features some of the game’s most versatile champions, allowing you to build a team ready to tackle even the hardest content. Tips for Summoning Success Here’s how to prepare for these events and maximize your chances: Save Your Shards Ancient, Primal, Sacred, and Void Shards are essential for summoning during these events. Make sure you’ve stocked up ahead of time. Focus on Key Champions Identify which champions align with your team’s needs. Do you need a tank, a damage dealer, or a support specialist? Plan your summons around the champions that will strengthen your roster the most. Plan for Both Events With two events back-to-back, you’ll want to allocate your resources wisely to take advantage of both opportunities. Track Your Progress Since these events boost specific champion chances, keep track of how many summons you’ve done. Sometimes luck strikes early, but it’s always good to know how much further you’re willing to go. Event Details Recap Event 1 Date: February 11th (24 hours only) Event 2 Date: February 12th (24 hours only) Shard Types Required: Ancient, Primal, Sacred, and Void Shards Featured Champions: A mix of some of the most powerful Legendary Champions in the game. These events are your best chance to summon champions that can carry your team to new heights. Whether you’re aiming for PvP dominance, dungeon mastery, or Clan Boss victories, the champions in these events can make all the difference. Don’t Miss Out! The clock is ticking, and these Progressive Chance Events won’t last long. Mark your calendars for February 11th and 12th and be ready to summon your way to greatness. With boosted summon rates for such incredible champions, now is the time to invest your shards and enhance your roster.

Uniter of Dwarves (Passive) Effect: Allies counterattack whenever they lose 10% or more of their MAX HP from a single hit. Faction Unity Bonuses: 1 Faction Ally: Whenever an ally places debuffs like [Stun], [Fear], or [Freeze], Admiral Blacktusk boosts his Turn Meter by 20%. 2 Faction Allies: When allies are attacked, there’s a 50% chance of applying a [Decrease RES] debuff&nbsp;and a 30% chance of applying a [Decrease SPD debuff&nbsp;on attackers. These chances rise to 100% if allies are under buffs like [Block Damage]&nbsp;or [Stone Skin]. 3 Faction Allies: At the start of each round, places a [Stone Skin] buff&nbsp;on all allies for unmatched survivability. Why It’s Valuable: This passive solidifies Admiral Blacktusk as a defensive powerhouse. The counterattacks, debuffs, and [Stone Skin] buffs provide exceptional team utility, keeping allies alive and in control. Aura Effect: Increases Ally ACC by 60&nbsp;and boosts Ally SPD by 15%&nbsp;for Dwarves in all battles. Why It’s Valuable: The accuracy boost is critical for ensuring debuffs land, while the speed boost ensures your Dwarves stay ahead in the turn order, making this Aura versatile for both PvE and PvP. Why Admiral Blacktusk Stands Out as a Unity Champion As a Unity Champion, Admiral Blacktusk’s abilities grow stronger when paired with allies from the Dwarves Faction. His Faction Unity&nbsp;mechanics provide incredible synergy and scaling effects, rewarding players who invest in a Dwarves-heavy team composition. Here’s how his Unity mechanics shine: Buffs &amp; Debuffs: Gains irresistible effects and enhanced cooldown resets with more Faction allies. Damage Amplification: Doubles damage to targets under [Stun] debuffs with a full Dwarves team. Survivability: Grants [Stone Skin] to all allies, dramatically increasing the team's ability to withstand damage. Unity Champions like Admiral Blacktusk are redefining how teams are built in RAID. His abilities encourage faction-based strategies, making the Dwarves a force to be reckoned with. How to Build Admiral Blacktusk Key Stats Accuracy: To land debuffs consistently. Speed: To maintain Turn Meter advantage. HP% and DEF%: To ensure durability in long fights. Recommended Gear Sets Speed Set: Maximizes Turn Meter control and rotation speed. Perception Set: Increases both Speed and Accuracy. Resilience Set: Adds survivability with extra HP and DEF. Masteries Support Tree: Focus on Accuracy and Turn Meter boosts. Defense Tree: Enhance durability and damage reduction. Upcoming Events to Prepare for Admiral Blacktusk To celebrate the release of Admiral Blacktusk, two exciting **Drop Fever** events are coming soon: February 5th: x3&nbsp;Speed Set Drop Fever at Dragon’s Lair. February 8th: x3&nbsp;Cursed Set Drop Fever at Ice Golem’s Peak. These events are the perfect opportunity to farm the gear you need to make Admiral Blacktusk battle-ready. Why You Should Summon Admiral Blacktusk Admiral Blacktusk is a revolutionary champion who brings&nbsp;crowd control, cleansing, survivability, and unparalleled faction synergy&nbsp;to the table. His Faction Unity&nbsp;mechanics make him an ideal leader for Dwarves, while his versatile kit ensures he excels in PvP, Doom Tower, Faction Wars, and beyond. Whether you’re looking to dominate the Arena, conquer PvE content, or take your Dwarves Faction team to the next level, Admiral Blacktusk is a champion you don’t want to miss. Prepare your summoning shards—he’s worth it!

NEW Champion! Admiral Blacktusk: Legendary Dwarf Support Champion

<a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a> has introduced significant updates to&nbsp;Konstantin the Dayborn and&nbsp;Ultan of the Shell, elevating their utility and performance across multiple game modes. Let’s take a detailed look at these rebalances, their potential impact, and how to make the most of their updated kits. Konstantin the Dayborn: A Ruthless Arena Nuker Konstantin's rework focuses on amplifying his offensive capabilities, particularly when paired with his counterpart,&nbsp;Vlad the Nightborn, in synergy-heavy compositions. His updates provide flexibility and increased power for PvP teams. Skill Changes in Detail A1 – Sword of Suns Now places a 60% [Decrease DEF] debuff on a single enemy for 2 turns. When Vlad is on the team, this debuff becomes unresistible, ensuring reliability against high-resistance champions. Gains an&nbsp;extra hit if the target is already under any debuff, enabling more damage potential and synergy with debuff-heavy teams. Impact: The added [Decrease DEF] ensures stronger setup for nukers, while the bonus hit makes him deadly in prolonged fights, especially against tanky opponents. A2 – Rune Shatter Attacks all enemies twice, with each hit ignoring 15% of their DEF. Gains an additional 10% DEF ignore&nbsp;for each [Leech], [Decrease DEF], or [Block Active Skills] debuff on the target. When all three debuffs are present, Konstantin ignores a staggering 75% of the target’s DEF&nbsp;per hit. Impact: This ability transforms Konstantin into a DEF-shredding machine, perfect for taking down high-DEF champions in Arena and against Wave mobs in Dungeons. The interaction between his kit and Vlad’s abilities makes them a devastating duo. A3 – Quietude Before attacking, steals all buffs&nbsp;from the target and transfers all debuffs from himself to the target. When Vlad is on the team, this skill becomes irresistible, ensuring it works even against champions with resistance-heavy builds. Cooldown resets if Konstantin secures a kill with this ability. Impact: This skill combines utility and offense, removing enemy advantages while punishing them with heavy damage. The reset mechanism makes Konstantin lethal in a well-set-up AoE debuff strategy. Aura His updated Aura now boosts ally ATK in Arena battles by 35%, providing a simple yet effective enhancement to his team’s offensive capabilities. Why This Matters Konstantin’s changes make him a reliable choice for fast-paced Arena teams. His synergy with Vlad unlocks irresistibility and unmatched DEF-ignore potential, ensuring a high success rate against tanky enemies or teams relying on resistance and shields. Ultan of the Shell: The Crowd-Control Tank Reborn Ultan’s rebalance emphasizes survivability, self-healing, and crowd control. His kit now includes significant utility, especially when paired with&nbsp;Oella, making him a versatile option for PvE and PvP battles. Skill Changes in Detail A1 – Under the Skin Each hit now has a 50% chance&nbsp;to apply a 60% [Decrease DEF] debuff for 2 turns. If Oella is on the same team, Ultan will ignore 50% of the target’s RES, ensuring the debuff lands consistently. - Each hit also has an 80% chance to remove [Increase DEF] buffs, bypassing resistance entirely. Impact: This ensures that Ultan remains effective even against buff-heavy teams, with reliable debuff application and removal, especially when paired with Oella. A2 – Resurging Reversal Removes all debuffs from Ultan and heals him for 20% of his MAX HP. Provides an additional 20% heal per debuff removed, offering incredible survivability in debuff-heavy battles. Places a [Shield] buff proportional to his ATK for 2 turns, with the Shield's value increasing by 5% per debuff removed. Final hit ignores [Shield] buffs on enemies and deals 20% more damage per debuff removed. Impact: This skill is the cornerstone of Ultan’s survivability and utility. It allows him to heal and shield himself while punishing enemies for stacking debuffs on him. The damage scaling makes him viable in both PvE and PvP. A3 – Somnolence Spores Attacks all enemies and places a 100% [Sleep] debuff&nbsp;and a 30% [Decrease SPD] debuff for 2 turns. When Oella is on the team: - [Stun] replaces [Sleep], ensuring enemies are completely incapacitated. - The skill also ignores&nbsp;50% of each target’s RES, ensuring debuffs land consistently. - Grants Ultan an Extra Turn&nbsp;whenever a [Sleep] or [Stun] debuff expires, while filling his Turn Meter by 15%. Impact: This skill offers incredible control over enemy teams, allowing Ultan to disrupt enemies, gain Extra Turns, and maintain momentum in both PvE waves and PvP matches. Synergies and Strategies The reworks for Konstantin and Ultan highlight their synergy potential with Vlad and Oella, respectively. Konstantin + Vlad: Combine Vlad’s AoE debuffing capabilities with Konstantin’s DEF-ignore mechanics for a deadly offensive setup. Ultan + Oella: Oella enhances Ultan’s utility, providing consistent debuff application and increasing his effectiveness as a tank and crowd-controller. Where to Use Them Konstantin the Dayborn Arena: Dominates as a nuker in high-resistance meta teams. Faction Wars: Shines in debuff-heavy compositions. Dungeons: Excels in debuff-heavy team setups for quicker clears. Ultan of the Shell Doom Tower: Crowd-control abilities make him a strong option for wave clearing. PvP: Combines survivability and disruption to frustrate enemy teams. Faction Wars: Adds sustain and utility, making him a reliable choice. Conclusion The updates to Konstantin the Dayborn and Ultan of the Shell are game-changers, offering enhanced synergy and flexibility for your teams. Whether you need a hard-hitting nuker for Arena or a tanky crowd-controller for Doom Tower, these champions now bring exceptional value to your roster.
