Lorn the Cutter — guide

In short

Lorn the Cutter is a Magic-affinity Epic Attack champion from the Ogryn Tribes. He shines in dungeons and against the Clan Boss: a single-target nuke that wipes the enemy turn meter plus an AoE that lands Parasite and 100% Heal Reduction. Build him for speed and accuracy first, damage second.

Strengths

• A3 deals 5.6× ATK to one target and drops its turn meter by 100%; fully booked it lands at a 100% chance, so the target simply never gets a turn.
• A2 is an AoE for 3.8× ATK that places Parasite and 100% Heal Reduction for 2 turns — 100% chance when booked, and cooldown falls from 4 to 3.
• A1 hits three times and heals him for 15% of the damage dealt, giving him real self-sustain and multi-hit value.
• 1443 base ATK is fine for an Epic, and Magic affinity is comfortable into Force-heavy waves.
• Heal Reduction and Parasite are welcome both on the Clan Boss and in dungeons where enemies outlive the first rotation.

Weaknesses

• 837 DEF and 15,360 HP — he folds to the first focused attack and needs shields or healing.
• 98 base SPD is slow; without speed gear he spends half the fight waiting.
• No self buffs (no ATK Up, no crit) — his damage depends entirely on the team around him.
• Weak in PvP (1.5/5): one single-target nuke and a modest AoE, no burst threat.

Where to use

Best spots are dungeons and the Clan Boss (3.0 each) where his debuffs and turn meter cut do real work. Doom Tower and Faction Wars sit at 2.5 — solid. Hydra, Chimera and Hard mode are around 2.0, niche only. Arena is 1.5 and not recommended. The author's note flags him as a pick against Lava.

Stats and gear

Priority: SPD → ACC → crit. Aim for 170–200+ SPD, 200–250 ACC so Parasite and Heal Reduction actually land in dungeons and on the Clan Boss, then 100% C.RATE and as much C.DMG and ATK% as you can fit. Recommended sets: Speed, Reflex (get A2/A3 back faster), Divine Speed, Perception (accuracy). Relics: Irethi Coronet, Perched Shadow.

Masteries and blessings

Trees: Offense for damage and crit, Support for accuracy and speed. Key picks from the list: Pierce Defenses, Expeditious Exploitation, Gathering Momentum, Boss Slayer. Blessings: Phantom Touch for extra damage on his multi-hits, or Cruelty to strip enemy DEF for the whole team.

Tomes

Book A3 first: the turn meter cut reaches a 100% chance and the cooldown drops to 4 — that skill is the whole reason to field him. Then A2 to push the debuff chance to 100% and the cooldown to 3. A1 last, it only adds damage.

Verdict

Worth building: a reliable utility damage dealer for dungeons and the Clan Boss. Keep him out of the Arena.
