Attack936 Guide: Artak
In short
Artak is a legendary Orc HP-based champion, a specialist in burn placement and detonation. Excelles in Hydra and Spider's Den, and can solo dungeons. Build priority: Speed, Accuracy, HP, then Crit.
Strengths
- AOE HP burn and instant activation.
- Places 50% Decrease ATK debuff on all enemies.
- Passive reduces max HP but greately boosts DMG, C.DMG, DEF, SPD and RESIST as burns activate.
- Self-heals from burn placemnts.
- Can solo Spider and high-leel dungeons.
Weaknesses
- Relies on HP burns to ramp up passie, slow start.
- Vulnerable to debuff blocks and cleanses.
- Low base SPD (100), needs good gear.
- Underperforms in Doom Tower (rating 3.0).
Where to use
Ideal for Hydra (5.0) and Spider's Den (4.0), includng Sorath, Agreth, and Tainted Skavag. Good for Clan Boss (4.5). Can also work in Arena (3.5) and early hard dungeons, but weaker in Doom Tower (3.0).
Stats and gear
Stat priority: SPD (200+), ACC (250+ for Hydra), HP% (as high as possible), C.RATE (100%), C.DMG (passive boosts, so aim for 150%+ base). Sets: Speed and Perception for ACC and speed; Regeneration or Immortal for solo sustain; Relentless for extra turns; Toxic for additional burns. Artifacts focus on HP and speed.
Masteries and blessings
Masteries: Offense and Defense trees. Key picks: Invigorated (HP), Targetfinder (ACC), Destructive Accuracy (C.RATE), Survival Speed (speed when HP low), Unflinching (RES), Buff Depletion (strip buffs). Blessings: Cruelty (lowers enemy DEF per hit, great with A3), Brimstone (extra damage on debuff, ideal for Hydra), Polymorph (for Arena).
Tomes
Book A2 (Hounds of War) first for 100% ATK decrase chance and -1 CD, then A3 (Detachment) for 100% burn placement and -1 CD, then A1 last.
Verdict
Artak is one of the best champions for Hydra and Spider. If you pull him, invest heavily — he will carry you through conten.
