Lord Shazar — guide

In short

Lord Shazar is a Legendary Attack champion from the Demons faction built around bombs and Arena. He peaks in PvP: the +32% Ally SPD Arena aura plus a bomb-based AoE make him a real first-turn threat. Build him for Attack and Accuracy first, with Speed and crit stats close behind.

Strengths

• Arena aura of +32% Ally SPD — works in Classic, Tag Team and Live Arena.
• 'Wheel of Fortune' is an AoE at 3.2× ATK that places 2 Bombs, and tomes push the chance up to 100%.
• A crit on 'Wheel of Fortune' also plants a 1-turn Bomb, so you can stack two detonations back to back.
• 'Eternal Fury' gives an unremovable 50% Increase ATK, Block Debuffs and an extra turn — no setup needed: buff, then bombs in the same turn.
• 'Scourge' hits 3 times with +15% damage per debuff on the target, so it cleans up nicely after bombs land.

Weaknesses

• Squishy: 15,690 HP and 1,189 DEF on a 101 base Speed — he gets focused and drops fast.
• Bombs detonate after 2 turns, so his damage is delayed and easy to answer with cleanse or Block Debuffs.
• Outside Arena and Faction Wars his ratings fall off hard: Dungeons, Doom Tower and Hard are all 2.0.
• Beyond bombs and his own Attack buff he brings no control and no support — thin in long PvE fights.

Where to use

Best homes are Classic Arena, Tag Team Arena and Live Arena (4.5), where the aura, bombs and turn order decide the match. Faction Wars (4.5) is also his ground — bombs delete waves. In Clan Boss (4.0) he is playable thanks to bombs and his own Increase ATK, but he brings no dedicated boss damage. Treat Hydra and Chimera (2.5) as an experiment, and don't drag him into Dungeons, Doom Tower or Hard (2.0).

Stats and gear

Priority: ATK, then Accuracy, then Speed, then crit. Rough targets: 4,000+ ATK, 250–350 Accuracy (top of the range for Arena so bombs land on resistant targets), 200–250 Speed to beat the enemy opener, 100% C.RATE and 200%+ C.DMG. Add HP and DEF only if he keeps dying before his turn.

• Main sets: Offense, Cruel, Fatal, Merciless.
• Fill-in: Pinpoint, Feral, Stonecleaver when you need Accuracy or extra utility.

Masteries and blessings

The Offense tree is the core for raw damage: In For The Kill, Pierce Defenses, Gathering Momentum, Constant Onslaught, Boss Slayer. Take Invigorated if he reliably dies before acting. Blessings: Phantom touch is the default damage pick, Crushing rend against tanky targets, Temporal chains and Intimidating presence are situational. Relics: Irethi Coronet, Wand of Submission, The Deathdealer.

Tombs

Book 'Wheel of Fortune' first: the bomb chance (75% → 100%) matters most, then the -1 Cooldown at level 6. Second priority is 'Eternal Fury' — its level 2 cooldown cut is cheap and immediately speeds up the buff-into-bombs combo.

Verdict

Build him: as an Arena bomber he earns his 4.5, but keep expectations modest everywhere else.
