Attack1707 Guide: Cinda Forgeheart
In short
Cinda Forgeheart is a Mythical Attack champion of the Dwarves with the Force affinity, and she plays like two different champions in one kit. Her base form hits a single target while ignoring a chunk of DEF and keeps herself alive with Magma Shield; the alternate form spreads HP Burn and drowns the field in AoE damage. Peak is Arena (5/5), everything else sits at a solid 4/5. Build her for ATK and crit first — ACC only matters in the alternate form.
Strengths
- Arena nuker: while under Magma Shield, her Magma Cover ignores Unkillable and Block Damage, ignores 35% DEF and deals double damage — it deletes shield and "immortal" setups.
- DEF ignore is baked into nearly every skill (15–50%), so high-DEF targets don't stop her.
- Huge self-sustain: Hot Shell puts a 300% ATK Magma Shield on her at the start of every round, cuts incoming damage by 30% while it's up, and heals her for 50% of max HP when the shield breaks or expires.
- If Magma Cover kills its target she gets an extra turn, and her first skill carries leftover damage over to the rest of the enemy team.
- Aura gives allies +35% ATK in all battles — good in Arena and in dungeons alike.
Weaknesses
- Everything hinges on Magma Shield uptime: without it you lose the DEF ignore, the Unkillable piercing and the survivability.
- 100 base SPD — without speed boots she gets outrun and killed before acting.
- The base form has no debuffs, so ACC and debuff synergy are wasted there; the alternate form's HP Burn is stopped by immunity and cleanses.
- 1 002 DEF with 17 175 HP is squishy — control and focused burst punish her.
- Mythical Tomes are expensive, and most book levels only add damage percentages.
Where to use
Arena first — 5/5, that's her stage, since piercing Unkillable and Block Damage is close to priceless there. Faction Wars is second at 4.5/5. Then a flat 4/5: Dragon's Lair, Fire Knight's Castle, Iragoth, Tainted Hellrazor, Akumori, plus Clan Boss, Hydra, Chimera, dungeons and Doom Tower. There is no genuinely weak area — she never drops below 4/5; in Hydra and Clan Boss she just wants debuff and shield support around her.
Stats and gear
Priority: ATK% → 100% C.RATE → C.DMG, then SPD. Rough targets: 4 000+ ATK, 100% C.RATE, 200%+ C.DMG, 190–220 SPD (220+ for Arena), ACC 200–250 only if you run the alternate form (50% ATK decrease, 60% DEF decrease, HP Burn). Dump the rest into HP/RES. Sets: Savage, Cruel, Lethal, Merciless, Mercurial. Relics: The Cat's Gaze, Skull of Treason, Lens of Intangibility.
Masteries and blessings
Damage and boss-oriented branch: Pouncing Strike, Destructive Accuracy, Opening Gambit, Slow The Enemy, Extra Punishment, Bloodthirsty Prowess, Boss Slayer. Blessings: Incinerate if you play the alternate HP Burn form, Crushing Rend against high-DEF tanks, Lightning Cage and Nature's Wrath as situational picks for control and elemental damage.
Tomes
Push her second skill (the DEF-ignoring double hitter) to level 3 first — that level removes one turn of cooldown, which means more damage and more shield uptime. Magma Cover next, but books there only add +20% damage. If you play the alternate form the order flips: take All-Encompassing Flame to level 3 for the +20% ignore RES so the 60% DEF decrease and HP Burn actually land.
Verdict
A top-tier Arena nuker with rare Unkillable piercing and strong self-survival, but she needs speed, Magma Shield uptime and a careful build — 4/5 overall, 5/5 in Arena.
