Lugan the Steadfast — guide

In short

Lugan the Steadfast is a Legendary Spirit HP-type from the Banner Lords. He is a tank-support: he hands out shields, heals the whole team off damage dealt and lands an AoE Block Active Skills. He shines in Clan Boss, Arena and Faction Wars, so build him in HP sets with health and accuracy as priorities.

Strengths

• His A1 scales off max HP (0.23 × MAX HP), heals himself and all allies for 25% of damage dealt and puts a 10% MAX HP shield on himself for 2 turns — free sustain every turn.
• A2 gives an ally a 50% shield for 3 turns and himself a 60% Defense buff for 3 turns; one book cuts the cooldown by 1.
• A3 is an AoE with an 80% chance to place Block Active Skills for 2 turns; tomes push that to 100%.
• Faction Crypts aura: +38% HP to all allies — a real boost for FW.
• Shields plus passive healing make him very hard to kill in long fights.

Weaknesses

• A3 damage scales off Attack (5 × ATK) and his base Attack is only 1 013 — treat it as a pure debuff skill, not damage.
• Base Speed of 103 is low: without Speed gear he moves late and shields land too late.
• Weak ratings in Hydra (3.0), dungeons (3.0) and hard content (3.0) — outside shields he brings little there.
• No control beyond Block Active Skills, no cleanse and no team Immunity.

Where to use

• Clan Boss (4.5) — his main home: ally shield, self Defense buff and constant healing from A1.
• Arena (4.0) — a tank that survives bursts and shuts down enemy active skills.
• Faction Wars (4.0) — his own +38% HP aura and durability fit perfectly.
• Doom Tower (3.5) and Chimera (3.5) — second-line support tank.
• Bosses: Borgoth and Bommal, where shields and healing do real work.
• Hydra, dungeons, hard mode — 3.0, only if your roster is thin.

Stats and gear

Priority: HP% → Speed → Accuracy → Resistance.

• HP: 70,000–100,000 (drives both A1 damage and shield size).
• Speed: 190–220 so the ally shield is always up in time.
• Accuracy: 200–250 for reliable Block Active Skills in Arena and Doom Tower.
• Resistance: 200+ if you use him as an Arena tank; Defense with leftovers.
• Sets: Life, Curing, Regeneration, Immortal, Divine Life, Resilience, Protection.
• Relics: Journal of Necrotos, Wand of Submission, Hallowed Hilt.

Masteries and blessings

Trees: Support + Defense. Key picks — Blessed Heal, Invigorated, Gathering Momentum, Heal 'N' Go, Bolstered Defense. Blessings: Brimstone, Polymorph, Life Harvest.

Tombs

Book A2 first — the −1 cooldown means a much more frequent ally shield and is his biggest upgrade. Then finish A3 for the extra +20% Block Active Skills chance (100% instead of 80%). Damage books last: it scales off Attack anyway.

Verdict

A solid legendary for Clan Boss and Arena: shields, healing and skill lockout. Worth building, especially if you need a Banner Lords support tank.
