Cillian the Lucky — guide

In short

Cillian the Lucky is a Legendary Attack champion of the Banner Lords with Magic affinity. His selling point is the Luck passive: at the start of each of his turns he gains a random buff (50% Increase ATK, 30% Increase C.DMG, 30% Increase C.RATE, 25% Strengthen or Block Damage), and his aura gives allies 25% Increase ATK in all battles. Build him for attack, crit and accuracy — but the site author's call is storage (fusion), and no tomes.

Strengths

• The 25% Increase ATK aura is active in every battle — a free bonus for any attack team.
• The passive buffs him every turn: crit rate, crit damage or Block Damage come up often, so he gets both damage and survivability for free.
• A2 is a hard control tool: 85% chance to place Block Active Skills for 4 turns, plus 35% on the other enemies for 1 turn.
• A3 stuns for 1 turn at 75%, or at 25% stuns for 2 turns and steals 50% of the target's turn meter; if the target dies, the cooldown resets.
• A1 hits twice, and each hit has 35% to place 30% Decrease Speed for 2 turns and 35% to steal 30% of the turn meter.

Weaknesses

• Low base stats: 98 Speed and 1,432 Attack — without real gear he does not hit like a nuker.
• Every debuff is chance-based (35/75/85%) and his base Accuracy is only 10 — without ACC nothing lands.
• All skills are single-target, so on dungeon waves and mob packs he brings very little.
• The passive is random: you cannot plan on the buff you actually need this turn.

Where to use

Best scores: Classic Arena and Tag Team Arena (4/5), Hydra (4/5) and the Banner Lords Crypt (4/5), then Chimera (3.5/5) and dungeons (3/5). Weak: Clan Boss (2/5) and Doom Tower (1.5/5), where single-target control and a modest base do almost nothing. The author's position: keep him for Faction Wars only.

Stats and gear

Priority: Attack, C.RATE and C.DMG, then Speed and Accuracy.

• As much ATK% as possible, C.RATE around 100% (the passive sometimes adds 30%), C.DMG 200%+.
• Speed 170–200 — his base is 98, so without gear he barely moves.
• Accuracy 200–250 for Arena and Hydra so Block Active Skills and the stun actually land.
• Sets: Savage, Relentless or Lethal for damage, Perception for ACC plus Speed, Stoneskin for Arena.
• Relics: Malefic Talon, Irethi Coronet, The Cat's Gaze.

Masteries and blessings

Offense tree, with Pierce Defenses and Boss Slayer as the key picks, then fill the rest into damage and crit. Blessings: Brimstone for Hydra and bosses, Polymorph in Arena against control, Lightning Cage as the alternative.

Tombs

If you do book him, start with A2 — the level 6 upgrade cuts 1 turn of cooldown, meaning Block Active Skills more often. Then A3, which gets two cooldown reductions and extra stun chance. House rule, though: no tomes, he is not worth Legendary books.

Verdict

A fusion Legendary with a nice aura and a random passive; his real job is Faction Wars. Storage, no books.
