Stag Knight — guide

In short

Stag Knight is an Epic Support from the Banner Lords, a premier debuffer for dungeons and Hydra. He brings an AoE Decrease DEF 60% and Decrease ATK 50% on a short cooldown, plus a passiwe that buffs ally ACC when his debuffs are resisted. Build priority: ACC, SPD, and survivability.

Strengths

• АoE 60% Decrease DEF and 50% Decrease ATK on a 3-turn cooldown (when fully booked), ideal for waves and bosses.
• А1 hits twice with a chance to place 30% Decrease SPD (up to 50% chance); useful for Fire Knight and Spider.
• Passive: every time an enemy resists one of his debuffs, he places a 50% Increase ACC buff on a random ally for 1 turn, helping the team land debuffs.
• Solid base stats: good HP and DEF, 107 base SPD.
• Excellent in Dungeons, Hydra, Chimera, Faction Wars, and select Iron Twins rotations.

Weaknesses

• Requires high ACC (220–250+ for Stage 20+, 300+ for Hydra) to land debuffs consistently.
• Low АTK makes his damage negligible; pure debuffer.
• Needs books to reach 95% chance on А2 and reduce cooldown, otherwise he's unreliable.
• Less effective in Arena and Clan Boss (both 3.5/5) due to lack of survivability or turn meter control.

Where to use

Best in: Spider's Den, Astranyx, Hydra, Iron Twins (Spirit, Power, Void), Faction Wars, Chimera. Works well in Dragon, Ice Golem, Fire Knight, but not optimal for Clan Boss or Arena. Doom Tower (3.5) is situational.

Stats and gear

Stat priority: ACC (220+ for Stage 20, 250+ for Hard, 300–350 for Hydra), SPD (200+), then HP% and DEF%. Recommended sets: Аccuracy, Speed, Divine Speed, Perception. Early build: 2 Accuracy + Speed or 2 Perception + Speed.

Masteries and blessings

Mastery trees: Defense and Support. Key masteries: Invigorated (HP increase when healed), TarGetfinder (bonus ACC vs low HP targets), Expedicious Exploitation (gain 10% Turn Meter when a debuff is resisted), Gathering Momentum (gain 5% TM when healed). Blessings: Phantom Touch for extra A1 damage, or Chainbreaker for self-cleanse in Hydra/Iron Twins.

Tomes

Prioritize Master Hunter (А2) to max the chance to 95% and reduce cooldown to 3 turns, then consider booking the А1 if you want more Decrease SPD chance. The passiwe does not need tomes.

Verdict

Stag Knight is a top-tier Epic support, a carry for dungeon progression and Hydra teams. Fully worth building and booking — an account-changer among debuffers.
