Attack749 Guide: Gaspard the Accused
In short
Gaspard the Accused is a legendary Void defense champion from the Undead Hordes who breaks the rules of Arena and Hydra. He is one of the best counter-picks against revive-heavy teams thanks to his passive "Commanding," while his execute with defense ignore and ally revive can flip a fight on its head. Build him primarily for Live Arena and Hydra.
Strengths
- Revive control: the "Commanding" passive instantly casts "The Accused" when an enemy is revived, ignoring Block Revive and shields, making him a nightmare for Siphi, Duchess, and other revivers.
- Unique execute: A3 ignores 25% of defense, shields, Block Damage, and Poison Cloud, and upon killing an enemy, revives an ally with 50% HP and Turn Meter, ignoring Block Revive.
- DEF-based damage: all damage scales with DEF, allowing you to build him extremely tanky while still dealing significant damage.
- Team support: A2 provides a Shield and +60% Increase DEF, while the "Former Legend" passive heals and boosts Turn Meter on kills.
- 33% DEF aura: one of the best auras for defensive teams in any content.
Weaknesses
- Low base Speed (104): without good gear and buffs, he will be slow, which is critical for Arena.
- Tome dependency: needs books on A2 and A3 for reliable control and acceptable cooldowns.
- Vulnerable to crowd control: like any defense champion, he fears stuns, freezes, and buff removal if not in Stoneskin.
- Situational passive: "Commanding" is useless against teams without revives, and its trigger on ally death is only 50%.
Where to use
He performs best in Live Arena (5.0) as a counter-pick against revive teams and in Hydra (5.0), where his execute decapitates heads and punishes devouring. Excellent for Faction Wars (5.0). Good in Clan Boss (4.0), Dungeons (4.0), and Doom Tower (4.0), though more specialized champions exist there. Viable for Chimera (4.0) but not a priority.
Stats and gear
Stat priority: Speed (240+ for Arena, 200+ for Hydra), DEF (5000+), ACC (350+ for Hydra/Arena), C.RATE (100%), C.DMG. Sets: Stoneskin (for Arena survivability), Perception (for ACC and Speed), Merciless (defense ignore for maximum damage), Lethal, Savage, Retaliation (for extra attacks in Hydra).
Masteries and blessings
In Offense, go down to Pierce Defenses and Boss Slayer for damage. In Defense, take Invigorated and Gathering Momentum for survivability and Speed. Blessings: Crushing Rend (defense ignore for damage), Lightning Cage (Arena control), Nature's Wrath (for Hydra).
Tomes
Prioritize A2 (Cursed Guillotine) first for 100% Provoke chance and a 3-turn cooldown. Then A3 (The Accused) for a 3-turn cooldown. A1 can be skipped if tomes are scarce—its main value is in debuffs, not damage.
Verdict
Gaspard the Accused is a must-have counter-pick for Live Arena and a top-tier champion for Hydra, capable of solo-winning fights against revive-heavy teams in skilled hands. He is a solid mid-tier option in other content, but his unique mechanics make him one of the most desirable legendaries in the game.
