Basileus Roanas — guide

In short

Basileus Roanas is a Legendary Attack champion of the High Elves with Force affinity. He shines in the Arena and in Faction Wars: buff stealing, a hit that punches through defence, and an AoE Stun with turn-meter reduction. Build him as a straightforward nuker — attack and crit rate first, speed and accuracy after that.

Strengths

• Good control: "Vehemence" has a 50% chance to Stun every enemy, and when the Stun fails it still cuts that target's turn meter by 50%.
• "Triple Impale" ignores Shield, Block Damage and 50% of defence — it hits targets that normally sit behind protection.
• The default attack steals a random buff at 80% or, if the target has none, applies Block Buffs for 1 turn — nice value on top of 3.6× ATK damage.
• Good legendary overall: solid in the Arena and a reliable Faction Wars closer (4.0).
• Real AoE damage on the third skill — 2.5× ATK to all enemies.

Weaknesses

• Low base Speed (101) and thin Defence (1002) — fragile and slow without support.
• Almost useless against Clan Boss (2.0): no poisons, HP burn or other damage-over-time, only direct damage.
• Base Accuracy is only 10 — you need dedicated Accuracy gear or the Stun and buff steal simply won't land.
• Value drops in Doom Tower and high-tier dungeons; he brings little utility to the team.

Where to use

Best areas first: Arena (4.0), then Faction Wars (4.0) and Chimera (3.5). In Hydra and dungeons he's average (3.0), and the same goes for hard campaign stages. Skip him in Doom Tower (2.5) and especially against Clan Boss (2.0) — those fights need different tools.

Stats and gear

Priority order: Crit Rate to 100% → Attack 4000+ → Crit Damage 200%+ → Speed 170–200 for Arena → Accuracy 150–200 if you want the Stun and buff steal to actually land. Keep some HP/DEF on him too, otherwise he folds to the first AoE.

From the build list, the relics to aim for are Malefic Talon, Irethi Coronet and The Cat's Gaze. Set-wise the usual nuker route works: Savage/Lethal for penetration, Cruel or plain Attack sets, and one Speed piece so he isn't last in line.

Masteries and blessings

From the list: Pierce Defenses and Boss Slayer, both offensive. Take the Offense tree for crit rate, crit damage and defence penetration, then fill a Support or Defence branch for survivability — with his base Defence it matters. No specific blessing is listed, so pick one that gives either damage or staying power depending on your Arena setup.

Tombs

Don't invest Tomes. The upgrades are only damage percentages and chance bumps (the third skill gains +10/+15% Stun chance), and no skill stops working without them — spend Tomes on a champion whose cooldowns actually open up.

Verdict

Level him up. A solid Arena and Faction Wars nuker with decent control, but not worth Tomes and not a PvE workhorse.
