Bonekeeper — guide

In short

Bonekeeper is an Epic Attack champion of the Orcs with Force affinity. Her kit is single-target ATK damage plus a Decrease DEF debuff on her default skill, so she gives the most against the Clan Boss, Chimera and in Faction Wars. Build her only for those spots, and only if you have no stronger damage dealer.

Strengths

• Her A3 hits at 5.3 × ATK — a big multiplier for an Epic, and it lands a second hit on a critical hit.
• If the A3 kills its target, your team fills 15% turn meter — a nice bonus when clearing waves.
• The A1 has a 50% chance to place Decrease DEF 60% for 2 turns — useful, but it needs Accuracy.
• The A2 deals 50% more critical damage — a solid single-target nuke on a crit build.
• In Orcs Faction Wars she is a working body, which matches the 3.0 rating.

Weaknesses

• Low base stats: 1,531 ATK, 870 DEF, 98 SPD. She needs gear to function, she does not carry herself.
• Single-target only, no AoE — slow at clearing waves.
• No team utility: no buffs, no control, and her only debuff is an unreliable A1.
• Almost useless in Hydra (0.5) and weak in Doom Tower (1.5).

Where to use

• Clan Boss (3.0), Chimera (3.0), Orcs Faction Wars (3.0) — her best areas, since all of them want focused single-target damage.
• Arena (2.5) — as a single-target finisher; without AoE or control she stays a secondary pick.
• Dungeons (2.0) and Hard mode (2.0) — only if you have nobody else to bring damage.
• Doom Tower (1.5) and Hydra (0.5) — not her content, she just occupies a slot there.

Stats and gear

Priority: C.RATE up to 100% (mandatory — the double hit on her A3 depends on crits), then ATK%, C.DMG and SPD. Rough targets: 3,500–4,500+ ATK, 170–200 SPD, 150%+ C.DMG, and 150–200 ACC if you want the A1 Decrease DEF to land on the Clan Boss and Chimera. Gloves C.RATE or ATK%, chest ATK%, boots SPD. For sets, go with attack and crit sets (the kit itself points to attack and crit rate artifacts). Relics: Malefic Talon, Gorecrescent.

Masteries and blessings

• Offense tree: Pierce Defenses, Foekiller, Piercing Strike, Bloodthirsty Prowess — all in on damage.
• Second tree: Support for Accuracy/utility, or Defense for survivability if she dies on waves.
• Blessings are not a priority on a champion like this — take a damage-oriented one if you use her in Clan Boss or Chimera.

Tomes

Book the A3 first: level 5 cuts its cooldown and the damage levels give the biggest gain. Then the A2 down to its cooldown reduction. The A1 gets books last, and only for the Decrease DEF chance.

Verdict

The site author's verdict is food: a mid-tier Epic with one strong hit. Keep her only for Clan Boss, Chimera or Orcs Faction Wars if you have nothing better there.
