Delaaja — guide

In short

Delaaja is an Epic Lizardmen HP-type support with Spirit affinity. She is at her best against the Clan Boss and in Faction Wars: poisons on her A1, an AoE Decrease Attack on her A2, and a team Shield plus Continuous Heal on her A3. Build her from HP — health is both her damage and her shield size, so it is the top priority.

Strengths

• A1 hits twice, heals her for 2% of MAX HP per hit and has a 20% chance to place a 5% Poison for 2 turns — a cheap poison stack for Clan Boss.
• A2 is an AoE 50% Decrease Attack for 2 turns; books push the chance to 100% and cut the cooldown to 3 turns.
• A3 gives the team a 15% Continuous Heal and a Shield equal to 20% of her MAX HP for 2 turns — with 60k+ HP that is a very thick buffer.
• Passive: a 30% chance (50% with books) to counterattack whenever any other Lizardmen ally is attacked. In the Faction Crypts it fires almost every turn.
• Aura: +30% HP for allies in Faction Crypts, boosting the whole Lizardmen team.

Weaknesses

• Her damage scales only from HP — C.RATE and C.DMG do almost nothing for her, and her damage ceiling is low.
• No cleanse, no revive, no Speed buff — a narrow support toolkit.
• The passive is dead outside a Lizardmen team.
• Low base Speed (98) and weak ratings for Hydra, Chimera, Doom Tower and Arena.

Where to use

Clan Boss first (4/5): poisons from A1 plus a reliable Decrease Attack carry most survivability checks, and the A3 Shield covers AoE slams. Second is Faction Wars (4/5), where the HP aura and the counterattack passive make her the core of a Lizardmen squad. In dungeons (3/5) she works as a budget defensive support. Hydra and Chimera (2.5/5), Doom Tower and other hard content (2/5) and Arena (2/5) are not her places — she lacks cleanse, speed and utility there.

Stats and gear

Priority: HP → SPD → ACC. Rough targets for late game: 55–65k HP, 170–200 SPD (so shield and heal land before the boss hits), 200–250 ACC so poisons and Decrease Attack stick on higher Clan Boss difficulties. Skip C.RATE and C.DMG; RES is optional. Sets: Life, Immortal, Perception, Guardian.

Masteries and blessings

Run the PVE setup: Invigorated, Pouncing Strike, Targetfinder — that covers Clan Boss, Faction Wars and Doom Tower. PVP masteries are not recommended for her. Take Cruelty as the blessing. Useful relics: Orb of Transfixion and Arachnelixir.

Tombs

Book A2 first: the books add +25% chance (up to a guaranteed 100%) and −1 cooldown, and that skill is what carries Clan Boss. Then A3: two books bring the cooldown from 6 to 4 turns, so the Shield and Continuous Heal come far more often. A1 and the passive last.

Verdict

A solid Epic support for Clan Boss and Faction Wars, but not a generalist — outside a Lizardmen team and outside PVE bosses there is little reason to bring her.
