Attack1641 Guide: Roric Wyrmbane
In short
Roric Wyrmbane is a Legendary Spirit Attack champion from the Barbarians. He works as a single-target damage dealer with turn-meter control: a 19% Speed aura in all battles, turn-meter reduction on his A2 and an armour-penetrating A3. He is worth building if you need a solid Faction Wars and Arena pick; gear priority is crit stats and Attack first, then Speed and Accuracy.
Strengths
- 19% Speed aura in all battles — useful in dungeons, Faction Wars and Arena alike.
- Passive: immunity to Stun, +15% damage to bosses and −15% damage taken from them.
- A2 Dragon's Fury drops the target's turn meter by 75%, and on a full reduction also Stuns the other enemies for 1 turn.
- A3 Scale Break ignores 50% of Defence and always replaces his default skill on a counterattack; it cannot be blocked by Block Active Skills.
- Faction Wars rating is 4/5 — his best content score.
Weaknesses
- Base Attack of 1641 is modest for a Legendary nuker; damage needs good gear.
- Hydra 1.5/5, Doom Tower and Hard mode 2/5 — he brings little beyond raw damage.
- Low HP (14,535) and Defence (969) — in Arena he only survives behind his team.
- Control is single-target and chance-based: without books he is inconsistent.
Where to use
Faction Wars first (4/5): aura, armour-penetrating A3 and Stun immunity. Then Arena (3.5/5) as a nuker with turn-meter control and a Speed aura. Clan Boss and Chimera (3/5 each) work thanks to his boss passive, but he is not a top damage pick there. In dungeons (3/5) he fits Spider's Den, Fire Knight's Castle and Astranyx. Skip Hydra, Doom Tower and Hard mode.
Stats and gear
Priority: Crit Rate to 100% → Crit Damage → Attack → Speed → Accuracy. Rough targets: ATK 3500+, C.DMG 200%+, SPD 180–200, ACC 200–250 for A2 in harder content. Sets: Savage, Cruel or Offense paired with Crit Damage; Perception if you lack Accuracy and Speed. Retaliation and Destroy are niche options.
Masteries and blessings
PvE tree (dungeons, Clan Boss, Doom Tower, Faction Wars): In For The Kill, Foekiller, Piercing Strike, Sharpened Riposte, Bloodthirsty Prowess, Boss Slayer. For Arena use a separate nuker setup. Relics: Molten Deathbell, The Cat's Gaze, Gorecrescent.
Tombs
Book A2 Dragon's Fury first — up to a 100% chance on the turn-meter cut and Stun, his main control. Then take A3 to level 5 (cooldown −1), and only then A1 for the Stun chance.
Verdict
A solid single-target damage dealer with a rare aura and a useful anti-boss passive — worth building, but don't expect all-round versatility.
