Karato Foxhunter Fusion! February 10th!
Plarium has just released information on this year’s Valentine’s Fusion, Karato Foxhunter!
This Champion looks like he could be relatively strong, depending on his damage multipliers which we currently do not have access to, but we will find out very soon! His synergy with upcoming Champion Yumeko is great as you can remove accuracy from his build allowing him to push more damage into his build.
As always, our opinion is dependent on results when tested, but he has definitely got the potential to be useful for many people.

Plarium’s Opinion on Karato:
Karato Foxhunter is a great damage dealer with an emphasis on control skills. Their A2 allows placing a Stun debuff on a single target for 2 turns, while their A3 keeps the enemies from using Active skills. Another useful feature is their Passive skill that prevents the damage inflicted by Karato Foxhunter from being decreased by enemy Passive skills or Masteries. Keep in mind that it also prevents the damage from being increased by ally Passive skills or Masteries. Having a synergy with another Champion – Yumeko – grants Karato Foxhunter an Extra turn on A2 and eliminates the need for Accuracy on A3. Also, it helps to boost Yumeko’s skills in return. Karato Foxhunter will be of great use on Arena, especially paired with Yumeko.
Let us know what you think of this Valentine’s Fusion in the comments!
The artwork is as awesome as ever!
Feels like Astralon with slightly different skills. The 2 turn block cooldown skill is better for DT and wave content then Astralon’s stun. I like it!
I agree with Dinobot–this is exciting, even though I totally don’t need this guy. Will definitely fuse. Love the art, kit sounds great. Who knows–may even help in the Shadowkin crypt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Looks good as long as we can actually get Yumeko. If they make Yumeko a guaranteed shard champ like they did with countess lix after the astralon fusion.
If you can’t get the partner that goes with the champ to make the most out of the skills then the champ will likely sit in the vault.
Great another champ I’m not gonna be able to get fragments for.
Might a classical fusion with rares & epics champions as we had a fragments fusion for Opardin.
Bringing the total available Legendaries up to 158. 36 available from Void shards, 108 available from Sacreds, 111 from Ancients. (Assuming these two are available in shard pulls, pretty safe bet though I think)
This will be my first Fusion but it looks like these are more time consuming than the Fragment summons, we shall see how we go!
Yes, they require more effort and resources as you have to level and ascend all the food to fuse the 4 magic affinity epics, and then level the 4 epics themselves. Make sure you have a load of superior magic potions the epics will need 24 blue and 12 white superior, plus 80 blue and 60 white greater, plus you will need a load more red, blue, green, purple and white potions to level the rares.
Never missing a fusion again after missing out on Brogni!
