Attack859 Guide: Rearguard Sergeant
In short
Rearguard Sergeant is an Epic Defense champion from the Dwarves with the Force affinity — a tank-support whose home is the Clan Boss. She brings an AoE Decrease ATK, a Decrease DEF on her A1 and a team-wide Shield plus Regen. Build her in DEF and SPD: the thicker and faster she is, the longer the team survives and the harder her skills hit.
Strengths
- Master of Combat places a 50% Decrease ATK for 2 turns on all enemies — her main argument against the Clan Boss and most bosses.
- Breaking Strike has a 40% (50% once booked) chance to land a 60% Decrease DEF, opening a damage window for your nukers.
- Rebound gives every ally a 50% Shield and 15% Regen for 2 turns, and books cut the cooldown.
- Passive: +33% HP to all Force allies in all battles — a free bonus that always works.
- Both damaging skills scale off DEF, so your tank still hits without sacrificing survivability.
Weaknesses
- 97 base Speed — without Speed gear she moves at the end of the turn order.
- Her debuffs are chance-based: unreliable without books and Accuracy.
- Damage stays low even with high DEF — she is not a damage dealer.
- Against Spirit enemies she lands weak hits, so the debuffs often fail.
Where to use
Her best spot is Clan Boss (5/5) — Decrease ATK plus Shield and Regen are worth their weight there. Next come Chimera (3.5) and Faction Wars (3.5), where the Force HP passive really pays off. Hydra, Arena, Dungeons and Doom Tower sit at 3/5 — she is a second support there, not the core. Hard content (2/5) is rough: not enough HP and Speed for the tougher mechanics.
Stats and gear
Priority: DEF → SPD → ACC → HP.
- DEF: 3000+ (3500–4000 ideally) — both survivability and skill damage.
- SPD: 200+ for Clan Boss, 230–250 ideally so her Shield and debuffs keep cycling.
- ACC: 200–250 for Clan Boss and Arena, otherwise the debuffs get resisted.
- HP: 40,000+; ignore Crit — everything goes into staying alive.
Sets: Speed, Perception, Defense. Relics from the build: Orb of Transfixion and Perched Shadow.
Masteries and blessings
Go Support and Defense trees, all about survivability and utility, nothing for damage. Key picks from the build: Invigorated, Targetfinder, Expeditious Exploitation, Gathering Momentum. No blessing is listed in the build — take one that boosts survivability and team support.
Tombs
Book Master of Combat first: tomes push the Decrease ATK chance up to 65% and cut its cooldown on the last level. Then Rebound for the cooldown — your Shield and Regen need to come back more often. Spend the rest on Breaking Strike, where the payoff is only +10% debuff chance.
Verdict
A top Epic for Clan Boss and a genuinely solid tank-support: level her for sure and don't hold back on tomes. Outside Clan Boss she is just good, but on the boss she pays for herself.
