Gurgoh the Augur — guide

In short

Gurgoh the Augur is a Legendary Dark Attack champion from the Ogryn Tribes whose kit is built entirely around Freeze. He peaks in Arena (4.5/5) and Faction Wars (5/5), while Clan Boss, Hydra and Chimera sit at 2–2.5. The site's verdict is "vault (fusion)" — invest only if you need Freeze control or a Faction Wars closer.

Strengths

• Blood Freeze strips one random buff and has an 80% chance to place Freeze for 1 turn, then he takes another turn — control and tempo in one skill.
• Avalanche hits for 6× ATK and strikes again on a frozen target; in Arena that damage deletes whole teams.
• Icebreaker is a double hit at 2× ATK with a third hit against frozen enemies.
• Passive Frozen Embrace: when he loses more than 20% of MAX HP from a single attack, 50% chance to Freeze the attacker for 1 turn.
• Gives allies +44% ATK in Faction Wars crypts — that is where his 5/5 comes from.

Weaknesses

• 92 SPD, 16,020 HP and 1,046 DEF — he has to survive to his turn first.
• All his control depends on Freeze: against Immunity, Block Debuffs and high Resistance he is just an average nuker.
• Clan Boss (2.5), Hydra (2.0) and Chimera (2.5) are not his content — don't waste a slot.
• Heavily gear-dependent and needs a lot of resources before he delivers results.

Where to use

Classic Arena, Tag Team Arena and Live Arena come first (4.5/5) — his Freeze and extra hits on frozen enemies do the most there. Then Faction Wars (5/5, both as damage and as an ATK buff), dungeons and hard content (4/4): Spider's Den, Tainted Fyro; Doom Tower is 3.5/5. Skip him for Clan Boss, Hydra and Chimera at 2–2.5.

Stats and gear

Priority: SPD → C.RATE (close to 100%) → ATK% and C.DMG → ACC. Aim for roughly 200–250 ACC for Arena, since the Freeze chance on his A2 scales with it. Gloves C.RATE/C.DMG, chest ATK%, boots SPD, banner ACC. Sets from the build: Accuracy, Provoke, Perception, Pinpoint; add Speed and Crit Damage if your ACC already comes from the banner.

Masteries and blessings

Attack tree: Pierce Defenses, Gathering Momentum, Boss Slayer; Support side takes Invigorated. Relics listed in the build: Malefic Talon, Irethi Coronet, Wand of Submission.

Tombs

11 Tomes in total (skills 2 and 3). Book Blood Freeze first: +5/+5/+10% debuff chance and −1 cooldown at the last level is a direct upgrade to Freeze uptime. Then Avalanche for damage and −1 cooldown. Worth Tomes, but not your first priority.

Verdict

A narrow specialist with real control, but slow and extremely gear-hungry. The site's verdict is vault (fusion): build him only for Arena and Faction Wars if you have the resources.
