KrokMar the Devourer — guide

In short

Krok'mar the Devourer is a Legendary Lizardmen HP-role champion with Spirit affinity, and everything in his kit scales off HP. His signature is Apex Predator: the whole team gets +30% C.RATE and +30% C.DMG for 3 turns, and he immediately takes an extra turn. Build him as an HP nuker with speed and crit; he peaks in Faction Wars, dungeons and Doom Tower, and he is weak on Clan Boss.

Strengths

• Apex Predator is a team-wide +30% C.RATE and +30% C.DMG buff plus an extra turn — the buff is already up when your team swings.
• Butcher's Axe hits all enemies on a critical hit, so at high crit rate he brings constant free AoE damage.
• Agonizing Mire deals AoE damage, gives him a Shield worth 20% of damage dealt and heals him 10% of max HP per crit — he keeps himself alive.
• Insatiable slowly strips the target's ATK/DEF and ACC/RES, up to 30% total.
• 22,140 base HP and a 4.0 in the Lizardmen Crypt — that's where he really carries.

Weaknesses

• Poor on Clan Boss: no poison, HP burn, ally protection or real single-target damage.
• Low base SPD (102) and DEF (1,112) — he moves late and folds under focus without gear.
• The passive only takes 5% per hit and needs ACC for the debuffs to land.
• No control, cleanse or revive — pure damage and buffs.

Where to use

First stop is the Lizardmen Crypt (4.0), where he is both buffer and damage. Then dungeons, Live Arena and Doom Tower (3.5 each) and Hydra (3.5) as the crit buffer. Arena (3.0) and Chimera (3.0) are playable but not his best. Clan Boss (2.5) and Hard mode content (3.0) only if nobody else covers the crit buff.

Stats and gear

Priority: HP% → SPD → C.RATE → C.DMG → ACC. Rough targets: 80–100k HP, 190–220 SPD, 85–100% C.RATE (his own buff pushes you to cap), 150%+ C.DMG, 200+ ACC for the passive. HP% or C.RATE gloves, HP% chest, SPD boots.

Sets from the list: Savage and Cruel for damage, Relentless for extra turns (he already gets one from the third skill), Immortal and Protection when survivability is an issue, Cursed and Lethal situationally. Relics worth a look: Malefic Talon, Wand of Submission, Stormcaller.

Masteries and blessings

Go Offense plus Support. Key picks from the list: Pierce Defenses, Bloodthirsty Prowess and Boss Slayer for damage, Gathering Momentum, Rolling Force and Constant Onslaught to ramp output during a fight, Invigorated for staying power. Blessings: Brimstone for extra damage, or Ward of the Fallen if you need him to survive.

Tombs

Book Apex Predator first — two books cut its cooldown, so the team crit buff comes back much more often. Then Agonizing Mire: one cooldown book and extra damage on the skill that gives him his Shield and self-heal.

Verdict

A solid HP nuker with a rare team crit buff and a built-in extra turn. Not a universal pick, but in the Crypt, dungeons and Doom Tower he delivers a steady 3.5–4.0.
