Neldor Rimeblade — guide

In short

Neldor Rimeblade is an Epic Attack champion from the High Elves, Force affinity: a multi-hit kit built around Freeze, Decrease ATK, Decrease ACC and Decrease SPD, plus a self-heal on his third skill. He shines where repeated hits and control matter — Fire Knight's Castle, Tainted Fyro and Faction Wars. Build ACC and SPD first, damage comes second.

Strengths

• A1 hits 3 random targets with a 30% (40% booked) chance to place Freeze — chip control plus shield breaking in one button.
• Nimble Blade hits 4 times and lands Decrease ATK 50% and Decrease ACC 50% at up to 75% chance — strong debuff coverage in one turn.
• Heavy Cross is a 2-hit AoE with Decrease SPD 30% for 2 turns and heals him for 30% of damage dealt — he rarely dies to stray focus.
• Passive Cold Blood: whenever an ally places Freeze, he has a 30% chance to join in with his basic skill — free extra damage.

Weaknesses

• Base ATK 1 343 and SPD 98 — average as a damage dealer, you have to push his damage with gear.
• Weak in Clan Boss (2.5): Freeze does nothing to bosses and he brings no poisons, shields or boss-relevant debuffs.
• His A1 hits random targets, so you cannot focus damage where you need it.
• Without ACC none of his debuffs land, and he has no boss-specific utility to fall back on.

Where to use

Best area is Faction Wars (3.5) — for High Elves he is ready-made control plus multi-hit. In Fire Knight's Castle his 3–4 hits per turn strip the shield fast; in Tainted Fyro he earns a slot for control and debuffs. Hydra, Chimera, Arena, dungeons, Hard mode and Doom Tower are all solid 3.0 — take him when the slot fits. Clan Boss (2.5) is not his fight.

Stats and gear

Priority: ACC → SPD → C.RATE / C.DMG → ATK. Rough targets: ACC 200–250 (for stage 20–25 content), SPD 170–200, C.RATE 100%, C.DMG 150%+, ATK with whatever is left. Sets: Perception (SPD + ACC) as the base, Reflex to cycle Nimble Blade and Heavy Cross faster, Relentless for extra turns and extra hits on the shield, Untouchable if you bring him to Arena under focus. Relics: Malefic Talon and Irethi Coronet.

Masteries and blessings

Main tree is Offense — key picks are Pierce Defenses and Boss Slayer, the rest goes into crit and damage. Pick the second tree for the content: Defense/Support survivability for Faction Wars and dungeons. Blessings: Phantom Touch (extra damage on every hit — perfect for a multi-hitter) and Cruelty (DEF reduction on the target, also pays off across a long hit chain).

Tomes

Book Nimble Blade first: at level 6 it loses a turn of cooldown and the debuff chance goes to 75%. Then Heavy Cross, which also gains -1 cooldown and a higher Decrease SPD chance. Leave the basic skill for last — it only adds damage and +5% Freeze chance.

Verdict

A solid Epic for Faction Wars and multi-hit dungeons, but not a universal pick: built for ACC and SPD he controls and strips shields reliably, while Clan Boss and top-end content have nothing for him.
