Skartorsis — guide

In short

Skartorsis is a legendary support from the Undead Hordes who carries teams with mass buff steals, strong Attack Up and Crit Rate buffs, and a powerful cleanse with heal. He shines especially in Arena and Dungeons thanks to his passive Speed aura. Build him if you need a versatile support champion.

Strengths

• Mass buff steal: AoE attack with up to 50% chance to steal a random buff from each enemy — breaks enemy defenses and setups.
• Double team buff: Places a 50% Increase Attack and 30% Increase Critical Rate on all allies for 2 turns, letting damage dealers skip crit rate in gear.
• Powerful cleanse and heal: Removes all debuffs from allies, heals them, and fills their Turn Meter — the more debuffs removed, the stronger the effect.
• Speed aura in Dungeons: +33% Speed to allies in Dungeons — a massive boost for clearing waves and bosses.
• Versatility: Fits into most content, from Arena to Faction Wars.

Weaknesses

• Book-dependent: Without skill upgrades, Revitalize has a long 7-turn cooldown, and the buff steal chance is low.
• Low base Speed (109): Needs a lot of Speed in gear to go first and apply buffs or cleanse debuffs.
• Mediocre damage: Only 859 Attack, so he's weak as a hybrid damage dealer — his job is pure support.
• Random steal: Might grab a useless buff instead of key ones like Block Damage or Unkillable.

Where to use

Best in Arena (4.5) and Chimera (4.5), as well as Faction Wars (4.5) due to his aura and strong support. Great for Hydra (4.0), Dungeons (4.0), Hard Mode (4.0), and Doom Tower (4.0). In Clan Boss (3.5) he can work, but there are better options.

Stats and gear

Stat priority: Speed (minimum 250+ for Arena, 200+ for PvE), Accuracy (cap for the dungeon/Arena, usually 250-350), then Defense and HP for survivability. Crit and Attack are unnecessary — his damage is negligible. Best sets are Speed (3 sets) or Perception for extra Accuracy. Defense or Immortal can also be considered for tankiness.

Masteries and blessings

Masteries go into Support and Defense trees. Key masteries: Blessed Heal (enhanced healing), Invigorated (chance to reduce cooldowns when hit), Heal 'N' Go (Turn Meter fill on heal), and Bolstered Defense (Defense buff on heal). Good relics include Journal of Necrotos (extra control), Hallowed Hilt (buff enhancement), or Perched Shadow (Speed and Accuracy).

Tomes

Prioritize Revitalize (A3) — reducing the cooldown from 7 to 5 turns is critical for frequent cleanses and heals. Next, Battle Orders (A2) to lower its cooldown to 3 turns. Hand of Doom (A1) is last for the buff steal chance.

Verdict

Skartorsis is a top-tier support who carries with mass buff steals, a double team buff, and a powerful cleanse. If you lack a versatile support for Arena and dungeons, build him without hesitation.
