Guide: Boltsmith

In short

Boltsmith is a Rare Attack champion of the Force affinity from the Dwarves, carrying an ATK aura for Faction Crypts. He has one real job — Faction Wars — and everywhere else he is fodder. Only invest if you need a Crypt filler.

Strengths

  • Piercing Arrows hits for 4.2× ATK and ignores 30% of the target's DEF — a solid single-target punch for a Rare.
  • Eagle Eye gives himself +15% C.RATE and +30% C.DMG for 2 turns and grants an extra turn, so he sets up his own nuke.
  • Enmity strikes twice with a chance to drop a Speed debuff — small but useful chip.
  • The 20% ATK aura in Faction Crypts is the only reason to keep him around.

Weaknesses

  • Paper-thin: 562 DEF, 15,030 HP and only 94 SPD — he dies before his second turn.
  • 1,465 base ATK means even buffed damage is modest next to epics and legendaries.
  • The Speed debuff is a 15% chance and nobody builds ACC on him, so it rarely lands.
  • Nothing for bosses: 0.5 in Clan Boss, 1.0 in Hydra, 1.5 in Chimera.

Where to use

Faction Wars (2.0) is his first and basically only home — the ATK aura can prop up your damage dealers if the team is short on damage. Arena (2.0) only at low tiers, where Eagle Eye into Piercing Arrows can delete a squishy target; above that it falls apart. Chimera (1.5), Hydra (1.0), dungeons (1.0), Hard mode (1.0) and Doom Tower (1.0) — skip him there.

Stats and gear

Priority: ATK% → C.RATE (roughly 80–100%) → C.DMG → SPD, otherwise 94 base Speed means he never takes a turn. ACC around 150–200 only if you actually want the Speed debuff from his A1. Sets from the author's build: Offense, Fury, Cruel, Divine Offense — the simple route is 2× Offense plus Cruel for crit damage.

Masteries and blessings

Offense tree down to Pierce Defenses, picking up the crit rate, crit damage and attack masteries on the way. Dump the leftovers into Defense so he survives long enough to use his A3. The build lists Malefic Talon as the relic. No blessing priority — don't spend on a fodder champion.

Tomes

None. If you keep him for Crypts, book Piercing Arrows first (damage plus the -1 cooldown at max) and Eagle Eye second for the cooldown cut.

Verdict

Fodder — feed him to something that actually does damage.
