Lonatharil — guide

In short

Lonatharil is a Legendary High Elves HP-type: a shield support who hands out huge shields scaled off his MAX HP and drags the whole team into a joint attack. He shines in Hydra, Chimera and Faction Wars, where staying alive matters more than damage. Build priority is HP%, Speed and survivability — not Attack.

Strengths

• Shields scale off MAX HP: 20% from Shimmering Barrier and 10% from Gallantry (to the ally with the lowest HP) — at 90k HP that is 18–27k worth of shields.
• If any ally is dead, Shimmering Barrier instead places 30% MAX HP shields that cannot be removed, stolen, transferred or increased/decreased — a strong anti-wipe tool.
• Star's Hour gives the whole team a 30% [Increase C.DMG] buff for 2 turns and joins everyone on one target.
• Puncture passive: +20% damage against targets under a [Shield].
• Aura: +35% ally HP in Doom Tower, useful even where his damage is irrelevant.

Weaknesses

• No heal and no cleanse — shields absorb damage but never restore HP.
• Base Speed 99 is low; without speed gear his turns come slowly.
• Damage is weak (848 Attack) and he brings no debuffs: dungeons, hard mode and Doom Tower sit at 3.0.
• The site note says he is not recommended for PvP, even though arena modes appear in his usage list.

Where to use

Ratings put Hydra (4.0) and Chimera (4.0) first — that is where the shields and the C.DMG buff actually decide fights. Faction Wars (4.0) follows thanks to the aura and durability. Clan Boss, Classic Arena and Tag Team Arena are all 3.5: playable, but nothing special. Dungeons, hard mode and Doom Tower are 3.0 — in Doom Tower he is mostly an aura pick. The site also lists him for Borgoth.

Stats and gear

Stat priority: HP% → Speed → DEF% / RES. Rough targets: 80–100k+ HP, 200–250 Speed, 2000+ DEF, 200–300 RES for arena work. C.RATE and C.DMG are not needed, and ACC is not a priority either since he has no debuffs to land. Sets: Regeneration, Immortal, Resilience, Protection — all rolled in HP% and Speed. Relics: Malefic Talon, Golden Elixir, Perched Shadow.

Masteries and blessings

Defense and Support trees: the job is to survive and keep shields on the team. From the site's list take Blessed Heal, Survival Speed, Unflinching and Heal 'N' Go; Pierce Defenses if you want a little more damage out of Star's Hour and the joint attack. For blessings, pick HP and survivability ones that match the content.

Tomes

Book Shimmering Barrier first: it has two cooldown reductions (−1 and −1), which keeps the shield up almost permanently. Then Star's Hour — also −1/−1 cooldown, so more frequent C.DMG buffs and joint attacks. Gallantry last: it only adds damage, which is not what you bring him for.

Verdict

Build him. As a shield and blender support for Hydra, Chimera and Faction Wars he is genuinely good; in PvP and dungeons he is a niche pick.
