Attack1101 Guide: Embrys The Anomaly
In short
Embrys The Anomaly is a mythical support-controller from the Corrupted faction who dominates the Arena with his unique Necrosis mechanic and Stone Skin removal. His main job is to break enemy defenses and punish opponents for killing allies. Prioritize building him for PvP, where he reaches his full potential.
Strengths
- Irresistible effects: Key debuffs (True Fear, Decrease ATK) and buff removal cannot be resisted if enemies have any Necrosis stacks.
- Stone Skin counter: The Unmaking removes Stone Skin and Block Debuffs, replacing them with True Fear and Block Buffs, and mirrors positive stat buffs into their debuff equivalents.
- Necrosis mechanic: His passive places irresistible Necrosis stacks whenever an enemy is killed, which instantly activate at the start and end of Embrys's turn to deal damage.
- Turn Meter manipulation: Steals 5% Turn Meter per buff converted and decreases all enemies' Turn Meters by an additional 20%.
- Extra turn: His form change grants an Extra Turn, allowing him to quickly apply control or set up Necrosis.
Weaknesses
- Necrosis dependency: Without Necrosis stacks, his control can be resisted, making him vulnerable at the start of a fight against high-resistance teams.
- Long cooldowns: His main abilities have a 5-turn cooldown, requiring precise timing.
- Passive block vulnerability: Enemies with passive skill block can disable Necrosis stacking.
- Weak against bosses: Necrosis does not work on bosses and their minions, reducing his effectiveness in PvE content.
Where to use
Embrys is built for PvP: he scores 5.0 in Arena, Live Arena, and Tag Team Arena. He excels against Archon Amius. In dungeons and hard campaign stages (4.0) he can be useful but is not a top choice. In Clan Boss (3.5), Hydra (3.0), and Doom Tower (3.5), his mechanics are less effective due to Necrosis limitations.
Stats and gear
For a PvP build, prioritize: SPD (280+), ACC (500+ for high levels), C.RATE (100%), and C.DMG. Survivability through HP and DEF. Recommended sets: Savage or Lethal for defense ignore, Stoneskin for first-round survival, or Merciless for cooldown reduction. For PvE, you can lower SPD and ACC requirements in favor of damage.
Masteries and blessings
Mastery trees: Offense and Support. Key masteries: In For The Kill for finishing blows, Invigorated for speed boost, Survival Speed for survivability. Best blessings: Polymorph to control enemy supports, Lightning Cage for extra damage, or Nature's Wrath. Relics: Wand of Submission for control, The Deathdealer for damage, or Stars of the Jiinang.
Tomes
Book The Unmaking first to reduce its cooldown and improve buff removal chance. Next, Voidstare to lower the control cooldown. The basic attack can be booked last.
Verdict
Embrys The Anomaly is one of the strongest PvP controllers, capable of dismantling enemy defenses single-handedly. His Necrosis mechanic and buff mirroring make him indispensable in the current Arena meta.
