Haarken Greatblade — guide

In short

Haarken Greatblade is an Epic Attack champion of the Barbarians with the Void affinity: three straightforward hits, a Weaken debuff and a debuff spread onto the whole enemy team. The site's verdict is blunt — fodder, a mid-tier Epic; her real value is Faction Wars and Doom Tower, where her +32% Attack aura works. Build her only for Faction Wars or a Doom Tower gap, with attack and crit as the priority.

Strengths

• +32% Attack aura in Doom Tower — the only real team-wide contribution she brings.
• Her A1 lands an extra hit on a critical hit, so a high C.RATE directly raises her damage.
• A2 has a 75% chance (up to 95% with books) to place Weaken 25% for 2 turns — useful against tanky targets.
• A3 brings Debuff Spread: 2 random debuffs from the target move to all enemies and are extended by 2 turns, which is rare utility for an Epic.
• Void affinity means no weak matchups anywhere.

Weaknesses

• Weak base stats: 826 DEF, 14 865 HP and only 95 SPD — she is fragile and moves late.
• 1 487 ATK is below average for a damage dealer; boss and dungeon damage is simply low.
• Debuff Spread only pays off if the target already carries debuffs, and she only places Weaken herself.
• No passive, no buffs, no control, no healing — just three attacks.

Where to use

Best spot is Faction Wars (2.5/5), where you just need a Barbarian attacker. Doom Tower and Hydra are also 2.5/5, mostly for the aura and the spread on debuff-heavy waves. Clan Boss, Chimera, Arena, dungeons and Hard mode sit at 2.0/5 — not enough damage and no survivability. She is not a team cornerstone.

Stats and gear

Priority: ATK% → C.RATE to ~100% (otherwise the A1 double hit disappears) → C.DMG → SPD around 170–190 (95 base is very low) → ACC ~150+ so Weaken and Debuff Spread land reliably. HP and DEF only as far as needed to survive to her turn.

• Sets: Savage or Cruel for damage, Speed/Perception when SPD and ACC are short, Lifesteal for survivability in Faction Wars.
• Relics from the recommended list: Malefic Talon, Irethi Coronet.

Masteries and blessings

• Offense tree: Pierce Defenses and Boss Slayer are the key picks, with crit rate/damage along the way.
• Second tree: Support for accuracy and speed so her debuffs actually stick.
• Blessings: Cruelty for attack, Phantom Touch for an extra hit, Survival Instinct if she dies too fast.

Tombs

Book A2 first — the Weaken chance climbs from 75% to 95% and the utility stops being a coin flip. Then A3, whose 5th level cuts cooldown by 1 so Debuff Spread comes around more often. Skip A1 books; they only add damage.

Verdict

A filler Epic: Doom Tower aura, debuff spread and a bit of damage, nothing more. If you have better champions to raise, Haarken is fodder or a Faction Wars benchwarmer.
