Warrior

Dynamic Bladeactive, area damage

Sandbound Aegis unleashes a flurry of melee strikes, dealing magical damage to the target, nearby enemies and herself. Damage is 100 / 150 / 200 plus 10% of her Max HP, with the effect radius growing by star level and a 10 / 9 / 8 s cooldown.

Role: a cheap melee frontliner who soaks damage while splashing magical damage into clumped enemies. Since part of her damage scales with Max HP, any survivability boost makes her hit harder, and she conveniently fills Half-Orc and Warrior synergies. Useful from the early game and still a solid front line once you upgrade her stars.

Synergies

Half-Orc · species

Synergy effect: (2) When allied half-orcs enter combat, they charge at the target surrounded by the most enemy units. (4) When allied half-orcs enter combat, they charge at the target surrounded by the most enemy units. Every melee movement of allied pieces also triggers a charge. Charge: the piece immediately rushes to the target and stuns enemy units in its path for 1 second. It cannot be blocked during the charge.

How to play

Half-Orc is a synergy of initiation and control: at (2) your half-orcs dive straight into the thickest cluster of enemies, stunning everyone on the way and tying up the enemy back line. A pair of inexpensive heroes lets you switch the effect on early; (4) needs the expensive pieces and extends the charge to every move of your melee fighters, turning the whole board into a chain of stuns. The synergy works best with sturdy melee fighters that survive the jump into the crowd.

Warrior · class

Synergy effect: (3) All allied Warriors gain +3 armor. (6) All allied Warriors gain +15 armor. (9) All allied Warriors gain +15 armor, and all allied pieces reflect pure damage equal to 170% of their armor whenever they take physical or magical damage. Class trait: when a Warrior's health drops below 50%, the armor granted by the Warrior synergy is doubled.

How to play

Warriors are the simplest front line: the class has many cheap heroes, so (3) is closed in the first rounds and (6) holds the front through the mid game. Doubled armor at low health makes them especially durable against physical damage; (9) is a rare late-game option where reflected damage punishes anyone who hits your board.
