Kytis — guide

In short

Kytis is an Epic Spirit Attack champion from the Knights Revenant. He plays almost exclusively in the Arena: his passive gives the whole team +33% HP, Impale grants himself Attack Up and hits four times, and his A1 spreads Heal Reduction. Build him for Attack and Crit Rate — in PvE he is a pass-through pick.

Strengths

• Passive gives allies +33% HP in the Arena — quiet, but a real survivability boost for the whole team.
• Impale (A2): self Attack Up 50% for 2 turns, then four hits on random enemies; hits on buffed targets are always critical, which punishes shield and buff-stacking defences.
• A1 lands a 100% Heal Reduction for 2 turns (85% chance, 100% after books), cutting heals, Lifesteal and regeneration.
• Blood Wounds hits the entire enemy team twice and scales up the more HP Kytis has lost.

Weaknesses

• Only 1,222 base Attack and 95 Speed — without proper gear he is not a damage dealer.
• His A3 only triggers below 50% HP, so you have to take damage first to use it.
• Ratings of 0.5–2.0 in Clan Boss, Hydra, dungeons, Chimera and Doom Tower — he is near-useless there.
• No utility beyond Heal Reduction: no control, no buff stripping.

Where to use

Arena (4.0) is his home: the passive and his whole buff/debuff kit work there. Faction Wars (3.5) is the second option — but the passive only applies in the Arena, so there he is just a damage dealer with Heal Reduction. Dungeons, Clan Boss and Hydra (2.0 each) only if you have nobody better. Doom Tower (2.0) and Chimera (0.5) — skip.

Stats and gear

Priority: Crit Rate to 100%, then Crit Damage, Attack and Speed. Rough targets: 3,500–4,000 Attack, 100% Crit Rate, 150–200% Crit Damage, 170–200 Speed, a bit of Accuracy (150+) so Heal Reduction lands, leftover into HP/DEF. From the build list, run the Malefic Talon and Gorecrescent relics.

Masteries and blessings

Damage-oriented picks: Pierce Defenses, Foekiller, Piercing Strike and Bloodthirsty Prowess. The build list names no blessings — take whatever boosts his damage; he is an Arena piece anyway, so generic PvE blessings are wasted on him.

Tomes

Book Impale first: levels 5 and 6 cut its cooldown and add damage, and it is his main burst. Then the A1, to push the Heal Reduction chance from 85% to 100%. Leave the A3 for last — tomes only add damage there.

Verdict

A middling Epic with an Arena slant: level him if you want team HP and Heal Reduction for Arena, which is exactly what the author's "level him up" verdict is about. Not worth the resources for PvE.
