Attack727 Guide: Storm Herald Hekaton
In short
Storm Herald Hekaton is a legendary DEF champion from the Lizardmen faction who combines strong control, team support, and DEF-based damage. He excels in Hydra, Chimera, Dungeons, and Hard content, and is also solid in Arena and Clan Boss. Build priority: Speed, Accuracy, and Defense to maximize his utility.
Strengths
- AoE Provoke and Weaken on A1 with a chance to be unblockable when conditions are met.
- Powerful A2 that ignores Stoneskin and DEF, and reduces enemy turn meters on kill.
- A3 provides Block Damage, Counterattack, and 25% turn meter fill — excellent support.
- Passive deals pure damage to enemies when allies with Fierce Storm crit, ignoring shields and Block Damage.
- Aura grants +24% SPD in all battles — one of the best in the game.
Weaknesses
- Relies on buffs for maximum A1 and A2 effectiveness — without buffs, AoE or crit may not trigger.
- Low base Speed (99) demands good gear to cycle turns.
- Passive doesn't work if Hekaton is dead and doesn't stack with duplicates.
Where to use
Best in Hydra (5.0), Chimera (5.0), Dungeons (5.0), and Hard content (5.0). Great in Live Arena (4.5), Doom Tower (4.5), and Faction Wars (4.5). Usable in Clan Boss (4.0) but not optimal.
Stats and gear
Stat priority: SPD (220+), ACC (300+ for high floors), DEF (4000+), C.DMG (200%+), then HP. C.RATE is not essential as many attacks always crit. Sets: Savage, Lethal for damage; Stoneskin for survivability; Merciless or Mercurial as hybrid options.
Masteries and blessings
Trees: Offense and Defense. Key masteries: Pierce Defenses, Foekiller, Bloodthirsty Prowess, Boss Slayer for damage; Sharpened Riposte for counterattacks. Blessings: Crushing Rend (damage), Lightning Cage (control), Nature's Wrath (extra damage).
Tomes
Prioritize A3 to reduce cooldown to 3 turns — frequent Block Damage and turn meter fill. Then A2 for cooldown and damage. Book A1 last for 100% Provoke and Weaken chance.
Verdict
Storm Herald Hekaton is a versatile legendary champion with immense potential across all content. If you need a defender who tanks, controls, and deals damage, he will be the core of your team.
