Longbeard — guide

In short

Longbeard is a Legendary Skinwalkers Attack champion with Magic affinity. His signature is the A3 ally attack: he strikes a target together with 4 allies and increases their damage by 20%, which makes him a classic "blender" enabler for Clan Boss and Chimera. Build him for Speed and Accuracy so the ally attack cycles often and Weaken lands reliably.

Strengths

• A3 ally attack with 4 allies at +20% damage — the core of any team-attack setup in Clan Boss and Chimera.
• A1 ignores Shield and Block Damage, cutting straight through defensive mechanics.
• A2 places Weaken 25% for 2 turns, boosting the whole team's damage, not just his own.
• Aura gives allies +23% C.RATE in Dungeons, which saves real stat budget on gear.
• Even ratings: 4.0 in Clan Boss, Chimera and Faction Wars — not a one-spot champion.

Weaknesses

• 97 base Speed — slow out of the box, Speed has to come from gear.
• 980 DEF and 17,835 HP: as a pure Attack champion he folds without support.
• Only 3.0 in Hydra and regular Dungeons — ally attacks are not always the answer there.
• Magic affinity means he is weaker into Force-heavy content.

Where to use

Best spots are Clan Boss (4.0), Chimera (4.0) and Skinwalkers Faction Wars (4.0) — everywhere the ally attack plus Weaken pays off. Next come Arena (3.5) and Doom Tower (3.5). Weakest areas are Hydra, Dungeons and Hard mode (3.0 each). Among bosses he fits Grythion and Archon Amius.

Stats and gear

Stat priority: Speed → Accuracy → C.RATE and C.DMG → ATK.

• SPD: 200+, ideally 250+ so A3 comes back around faster.
• ACC: 200–250, otherwise Weaken will be resisted on bosses.
• C.RATE: close to 100% outside Dungeons (the aura only works there), C.DMG 150%+.
• ATK only after Speed, never at its expense.
• Sets: Speed, Perception or Accuracy, Divine Speed, and Lifesteal if you need sustain.

Masteries and blessings

Go for the defensive/support side: Blessed Heal, Invigorated, Survival Speed, Unflinching, Gathering Momentum, Heal 'N' Go. If you want more Clan Boss damage, shift some points into the Offense tree. Blessings: Phantom Touch for extra hit damage that scales with ally attacks, or Brimstone against fat bosses. Relics: Golden Elixir, Wand of Submission, Perched Shadow.

Tomes

Book A3 first — the cooldown -1 means you call allies more often. Then A2, which also gets cooldown -1. A1 only gains damage, so it can wait. For Arena, tomes are not needed at all.

Verdict

Definitely build him: a top-tier legendary blender who carries Clan Boss, Chimera and Faction Wars. Give him Speed and Accuracy and he slots into almost any team.
