The Scarecrow — guide

In short

The Scarecrow is a Legendary Support from the Undead Hordes with Spirit affinity: he revives fallen allies, cuts cooldowns for the team, hands out ACC and RES, and brings a +60 ACC aura in all battles. He shines in Hydra, Chimera and the Undead Hordes Crypt, and holds his own in Arena. Build priority is Speed and survivability, with Accuracy as a secondary concern.

Strengths

• Stitching revives one ally at 50% HP with a 50% turn meter fill and Block Damage for 2 turns, and gives the whole team a 25% damage reduction buff.
• Thinker reduces the cooldowns of every ally except himself by 1 turn and adds +50% ACC and +50% RES for 2 turns — it speeds up the entire team.
• Single Mind: he revives himself at 50% HP and 50% turn meter and cleanses all debuffs from the team, then gains immunity to Fear, True Fear, Provoke and Freeze once anyone has died in the battle.
• A +60 ACC aura that works in every battle, for free.
• Crow Killer hits twice at 2.85× ATK and applies Decrease RES and Decrease ACC that cannot be resisted once an ally, including him, has died in the battle.

Weaknesses

• No healing and no shields — his support is revive, Block Damage and cooldown reduction only.
• Long cooldowns; without books the cycle falls apart, and Thinker does not reduce its own cooldown.
• Negligible damage (936 ATK) — he is not a threat on his own.
• Drops off in hard content, where you want a real healer or tank.

Where to use

Best areas are Hydra (4.5), Chimera (4.5) and the Undead Hordes Crypt (4.5) — his revive and cooldown push carry those fights. Then come Clan Boss (4.0), Classic Arena and Live Arena (4.0), dungeons (4.0) and Al-Naemeh. Weakest in hard content (3.0).

Stats and gear

Stack Speed first, then HP and DEF — he has to survive long enough to land Stitching. ATK and crit stats are wasted on him.

• SPD: 200–250+ (closer to 250+ for PvP).
• HP: 60–80k, DEF: 2500–3000+.
• ACC: 150–250 if you want his A1 debuffs to land (his aura does not buff himself).
• RES: 200+ if the build allows.
• Sets: Reflex, Regeneration, Perception, Stoneskin, Chronophage, Mercurial.
• Relics: Golden Elixir, Chrysalid of Rebirth, Okulos Kustodion.

Masteries and blessings

Go down the Support tree — Growing Resolve, Unflinching, Power Reset, Damage Mitigation, Revival's Boon — and take the Defence side for Undead Bulwark. Blessings: Polymorph, Ward of the Fallen, Intimidating Presence.

Tombs

Book Stitching first: two books drop its cooldown from 6 to 4, so the revive actually comes back around. Then Thinker (5→3) to keep the cooldown push rolling. Crow Killer last, purely for the 50→75% debuff chance.

Verdict

A solid 4.0-tier support for Hydra, Chimera and the Crypt: he revives, speeds up the team and feeds ACC. Not a healer, but paired with a real one he solves the ugliest mechanics in the game.
