Kaiden — guide

In short

Kaiden is an Epic Defense champion from the Dark Elves with the Magic affinity: a reviver who brings back two random allies and instantly gives them a 60% Increase DEF buff. He shines most in Faction Wars, dungeons and Clan Boss, and his DEF-based multipliers let him double as a damage dealer. The site author says level him up, but calls him an average Epic — so a medium priority.

Strengths

• Revives two allies at 50% HP plus a 60% Increase DEF buff for 1 turn — a rare and genuinely useful package in long fights.
• His AoE hit has a 75% chance to place 50% Decrease ATK for 2 turns, blunting wave and boss damage.
• All damage scales off DEF (3.8× on the A1, 3.2× on the AoE), so a tanky build still hits back.
• A1 carries a 15% Provoke chance — a nice extra, especially in Faction Wars.
• Ratings: Faction Wars 4.0, Clan Boss 4.0, dungeons 4.0 — a very even profile.

Weaknesses

• Base Speed is only 95, so without Speed gear he moves last.
• The revive is random — he cannot pull out the one ally you actually need.
• Revive cooldown starts at 6 turns and only drops to 4 with tomes.
• In hard content the rating falls to 2.0 — he simply isn't enough there.

Where to use

Start with Faction Wars (Dark Elves Crypt, 4.0): built on DEF, Speed and Accuracy he carries stages. Then Clan Boss (4.0) and dungeons (4.0) as a reviver and Decrease ATK debuffer. In Arena (3.5) and Hydra (3.5) he is workable but not top tier. Doom Tower (3.0) and Chimera (3.0) are situational, and in hard modes (2.0) don't count on him.

Stats and gear

Priority: DEF → Speed → Accuracy → HP. Targets: DEF 3000+, Speed 180–220, Accuracy 200–250 (so Decrease ATK and Provoke actually land), HP 40k+. Crit Rate and Crit Damage are unnecessary on a support build; for a damage build go DEF with Crit Rate/Crit Damage. Sets: Speed, Defense, Perception, Immortal — whatever fills the substats. Relics from the list: Molten Deathbell and Demonic Effigy.

Masteries and blessings

• Listed masteries: In For The Kill, Invigorated, Revival Blessing — leaning into survivability and support.
• Defense and Support trees are the base; in Support grab cooldown and survivability masteries.
• The guide lists no dedicated blessing — take one that boosts survivability for a Defense support.

Tombs

Book the A3 first (Courtly Aid): two tome levels cut the cooldown from 6 to 4 turns, which is the whole point of the champion. Next push the A2 to level 6 for −1 cooldown and the extra Decrease ATK chance. Leave the A1 for last.

Verdict

A solid average Epic: double revive with Increase DEF and an AoE Decrease ATK make him a good support for Faction Wars and dungeons. Build him if you need a reviver, but don't expect a star.
