Faceless — guide

In short

Faceless is an Epic Attack champion from the Knights Revenant faction with the Dark affinity. He lives on the Arena: a +21% Ally ATK aura and his A3 Ice Arrow that ignores DEF, Shield and Block Damage. Build him as an Arena nuker and Faction Crypt closer, not as a PvE all-rounder.

Strengths

• A3 Ice Arrow ignores DEF, Shield and Block Damage — it cuts through shielded tanks and cannot be blunted by defence stats.
• Arena aura: +21% ATK to allies, so he brings team value even when he is not the one hitting.
• A2 Lightning puts a 30% C.RATE buff on himself for 2 turns before striking — he buffs his own damage.
• Reliably clears the Faction Crypt (3.5/5), which is a solid result for an Epic.
• Defence-ignoring damage in the base kit is rare for an Epic.

Weaknesses

• Base Attack is only 1 398 and Defence 738 — gear has to carry both his damage and his survivability.
• 101 Speed: slow, so Arena needs a speed booster or control around him.
• Almost useless in Clan Boss, Hydra and Hard content (1/5) — no debuffs, no poisons, no team utility.
• He applies nothing but raw damage: no debuffs, no control, no defence shred.

Where to use

Arena first (4/5) — his aura and A3 against shielded targets are exactly what that mode wants. Then Faction Crypt (3.5/5), where he clears waves as a damage dealer. In Chimera (2.5/5) he is only a filler body. Dungeons (2/5), Doom Tower (1.5/5), Clan Boss, Hydra and Hard bosses (1/5) are not his content — he contributes very little there.

Stats and gear

ATK% is the main stat: all his damage scales off it, and A3 ignoring DEF makes every point of Attack worth more. Keep C.RATE around 70% — the A2 buff tops it up to cap — and push C.DMG past 200%. Speed 170–200 so he moves before enemy nukers or right after your booster. Do not build ACC at all; he has no debuffs. Pick sets that give raw damage and speed: Attack, Crit Damage and Speed sets; defence-ignoring sets are less useful because A3 already ignores DEF. Relics: Malefic Talon and Gorecrescent.

Masteries and blessings

Main tree is Offense: Pierce Defenses, Foekiller, Piercing Strike and Bloodthirsty Prowess. Fill the rest with Defence or Support for survivability so he survives the first retaliation. No blessings are listed for him on the site; by general logic take one that adds damage or protects the nuker from control.

Tomes

Book A3 first — it is the damage skill he is picked for. Then A2 and A1. Every book only adds damage, so on a mid-tier Epic it is fine to hold back unless you need him as an Arena nuker right now.

Verdict

A middle-of-the-road Epic, but A3 makes him a solid Arena nuker and a Shamael-like pick — worth levelling if you are pushing Arena and the Knights Revenant Crypt.
