Hospitaller — guide

In short

Hospitaller is a Rare Magic Support from the Sacred Order. Her job is to hand the team +15% SPD and +15% C.RATE and to strip buffs off enemies with her AoE. She only really earns a slot in Faction Wars, where her +10% SPD aura and Crit Rate buff do some work. Build her for speed and survivability — she brings no damage.

Strengths

• Her third skill gives the whole team two buffs at once: +15% SPD and +15% C.RATE for 2 turns — generous for a Rare.
• A2 hits all enemies and has a 50% chance to remove a random buff from each target, climbing to 75% when fully booked.
• Aura: +10% SPD to all allies in every battle, so she contributes even when she does nothing else.
• Paired passive with Herald: when Herald kills an enemy, a random ally is revived at 25% HP with Block Damage for 1 turn.
• The Crit Rate buff feeds Faction Wars damage dealers that are built around crit.

Weaknesses

• Weak base stats: 101 SPD and 848 DEF — slow and squishy, and gear has to fix a lot.
• Every skill scales off ATK, and her base ATK is only 1,035, so her damage is negligible.
• No heal, no shield and no revive of her own — the passive only fires with Herald on the team.
• Useless against bosses and in late content: rated 1.0 in Hydra, dungeons, Doom Tower and Hard mode.

Where to use

Faction Wars is her home (2.5): bring her for the SPD aura and the Crit Rate buff, and the Herald passive occasionally puts a fallen ally back on their feet. In Clan Boss, Arena and Chimera (2.0) she is an early-game stopgap at best — a cheap speed/crit buffer next to a real damage dealer. In dungeons, Hydra, Doom Tower and Hard mode (1.0) she does not hold up: those fights want heals, shields and control, and she has none of it.

Stats and gear

Priority: SPD → HP% → DEF%. Rough targets: 180–220 SPD so she moves before your damage dealers, 40k–60k HP, around 2,000 DEF. Skip ACC — buff removal is not resisted. Do not build C.RATE or C.DMG. Sets: Speed, Perception, Immortal, HP or Defense, with SPD boots every time. The author notes DEF artifacts suit her; they are fine, but with only 848 base DEF, HP% usually keeps her alive longer.

Masteries and blessings

The Support tree is the backbone for a hero like this, with the rest spent on speed and survivability. From the build list take Invigorated and Targetfinder. Relic from the list: Orb of Transfixion. No blessing is listed — if you have spare shards, pick a defensive one, but investing in a Rare for Faction Wars is rarely worth it.

Tombs

Book Reviving Prayer (A3) first: a single tome drops its cooldown by 1, so the team buffs come around more often. Next, put books into Wave of Cleansing (A2) for the removal chance, up to 75%. Leave Quick Slash (A1) alone.

Verdict

Fodder. Keep one copy for Faction Wars and the Herald pairing, and feed the rest.
