Sir Nicholas — guide

In short

Sir Nicholas is a legendary HP champion from the Sacred Order faction with Void affinity. His signature move is team-wide Unkillable with Regeneration, making him a cornerstone for Clan Boss, Arena, and tough dungeons. If you pull him, build him — he’s one of the top defensive carries in the game.

Strengths

• Team Unkillable: 'Charitable Heart' grants Unkillable and 15% Continuous Heal buffs to all allies for 2 turns, letting your team survive otherwise lethal damage.
• Damage-based shields: 'Polar Protection' hits all enemies and places a Shield on your team equal to 30% of the damage dealt — excellent hybrid of offense and defense.
• Control: his basic attack 'Glacial Blade' has a high chance to place Freeze, which cannot be reflected.
• Passive buff: increases all allies' HP by 33% in all battles, massively boosting team survivability.
• HP-scaling AoE: both attacking skills scale off MAX HP, allowing you to build him tanky while dealing solid damage.

Weaknesses

• Low base speed: only 105, so without significant SPD gear he may fail to cast protection in time.
• Vulnerable to buff removal: his entire kit revolves around Unkillable — strip it, and he and his team become fragile.
• Moderate in Chimera and Hydra: ratings of 3.0 in these encounters, as Unkillable mechanics are less reliable there.

Where to use

Best performance: Clan Boss (4.5), Classic and Live Arena (4.5), and Faction Wars (4.5) thanks to his passive and mass protection. Excellent for dungeons (4.0) and hard content (4.0), especially against bosses like Bommal and Borgoth. Average results in Hydra (3.0), Chimera (3.0), and Doom Tower (3.5).

Stats and gear

Stat priority: SPD (250+ endgame) → ACC (300+ for consistent Freeze) → HP (100k+) → DEF → C.RATE (100%) and C.DMG. RES is optional.

Recommended sets: Perception for ACC and SPD, Lethal for ignore defense and criticals, Protection to enhance shields. For PvP survivability: Stoneskin. Alternatives: Merciless (raids) and Mercurial (arena).

Masteries and blessings

Masteries go into the Defense and Offense trees. Key masteries: Pierce Defenses (ignore defense), Invigorated (ally healing), Gathering Momentum, and Steadfast Preparation. For blessings, Crushing Rend is top-tier for CB and Arena. Heavencast for damage, Brimstone for Clan Boss, Polymorph to counter enemy buffers in PvP.

Tomes

Book 'Charitable Heart' as priority — reducing its cooldown is essential for consistent Unkillable uptime. The rest are nice to have but not critical, though the AoE skill’s cooldown reduction improves cycling.

Verdict

Sir Nicholas is a top-tier defensive carry, slotted into countless teams for his mass Unkillable. Build him without hesitation: he’s a game-changer for Clan Boss and PvP, able to single-handedly turn fights around.
