Shaman — guide

In short

Shaman is an Epic Orc Support with Force affinity. Her kit is three things: a revive with a shield, a team-wide +15% C. RATE buff and a 25% chance to strip a random buff with her A1. She is a narrow pick — build her for Speed and survivability rather than damage, even though every skill scales off ATK.

Strengths

• Revive plus shield: Return brings an ally back at 50% HP and puts a Shield equal to 20% of that ally's MAX HP on them, patching up a mid-fight collapse.
• Battle Spirit grants all allies +15% C. RATE for 2 turns — handy for damage dealers that are short on crit chance.
• Defense aura of +23% in Faction Crypts — on its own a reason to keep her in the FW team.
• Dispel has no cooldown, so every turn she has a 25% shot at removing a random buff from the target.

Weaknesses

• Very thin base for a support: 17,505 HP and 1,024 DEF — she folds quickly under focus.
• No debuffs at all, no control and no cleanse for her own team — only the C. RATE buff and the revive.
• Revive sits on a 7-turn cooldown (5 with books), which is slow for a fight that may end first.
• Her damage scales off ATK, but she is not a damage dealer — investing in attack is wasted.

Where to use

Live Arena is her best spot, where the shield-revive and the crit chance buff still matter. In Faction Crypts she earns her slot through the +23% Defense aura and the revive. Everywhere else the numbers are modest: Dungeons, Clan Boss, Hydra, Chimera and Arena sit at 2.0, Doom Tower at 1.5. In Hard content she is a 1.0 — she simply gets deleted before her revive comes back.

Stats and gear

Priority: Speed → HP/DEF → Resistance. Rough targets: 200+ SPD, 45–55k HP, 2,500+ DEF, 200+ RES if you are facing debuff teams. Accuracy is not needed — she places no debuffs. Ignore C. RATE and C. DMG. Sets: Speed, Defense, Immunity, Resilience, Defiant; Lifesteal and Immortal if you want extra sustain in solo situations. Relics that fit: Golden Elixir and Demonic Effigy.

Masteries and blessings

Go down the defensive and support branches, everything toward survival and the revive. Key picks from the list: Invigorated, Survival Speed, Revival Blessing, Unflinching. Blessings: Survival instinct as the default, Cruelty as the alternative if you want a bit more damage.

Tomes

Book Return first — its two upgrades cut the cooldown from 7 to 5, the single biggest gain in her kit. Battle Spirit comes next, where the last level shaves one turn off the cooldown (4 → 3). Leave Dispel for last: it only adds damage and +10% strip chance.

Verdict

A vault and fusion hero — keep her for Live Arena and the Faction Crypts aura, but she does not deserve heavy investment.
