Lord Entertainer Fabian – Champion Guide

Lord Entertainer Fabian is one of the most hyped fusions of all time, coming in as the Raid 2025 Anniversary Fusion for 2025, following on from Armanz the Magnificent in 2024. Much like Armanz before him, Fabian is set to define the Arena meta for the coming months.

Read on to find out what makes Fabian so strong, how to build him, and where to use him!

Lord Entertainer Fabian is essentially an upgraded Base Form Night Queen Krixia (though of course her Alternate Form pushes her ahead in overall value), bringing Lockout, Buff Stripping, and huge amounts of CC in his kit.

A1 – Service in Death

A small Turn Meter Steal is nifty but not too impactful. Counterattack masteries (or buffs) are very nice here for arena, since they will let you place the True Fear (it is very difficult to reduce Turn Meters to 0 normally, but they are usually already at 0 when counterattacks trigger!).

A2 – Unwelcome Guest

This A2 can completely control enemy teams and even mythical champions. Petrification is a rare debuff that functions a bit like a combination of the Stun and Block Buffs debuffs. Placing 2-turn True Fear on every other enemy is arguably even more powerful though, giving them a 50% chance to miss their turn and put their skills on cooldown. Few champions can do 2-turn versions; don’t underestimate the frustration this will cause!

The passive element of his A2 is incredibly strong, letting him counterattack with this skill every single time an enemy succeeds in taking their turn when under a True Fear. This will basically spam True Fears and Petrifications on the enemy team. Mythical Metamorph abilities (aside from passive ones such as Siegfrund) also count as active skills, which lets Fabian immediately attempt to Petrify them when they swap forms.

A3 – Spectral Flourish

This is Fabian’s best skill (shocking, considering how good his A2 is) and it is a very consistent way to remove buffs and lockout enemies. Reducing buff duration is better than removing buffs, since 4-turn buffs basically don’t exist in arena and reducing duration does not trigger the Polymorph blessing. This buff removal also triggers before he attacks, so it isn’t affected by affinity.

Increasing enemy skill duration by 3 turns gives all players access to a Yumeko or Night Queen Krixia level lockout ability. Like Krixia, but unlike Yumeko, this ability is an attack, so it is possible to weak hit and fail to increase skills; watch out for top tier Magic affinity enemies such as Armanz the Magnificent!

The Extra Turn mechanic is extremely powerful but it is hard to trigger: Stoneskin has a 50% chance to block his buff reduction; protected buffs, Bolster set Shields, and Intercept buffs (e.g. Pinpoint set) cannot be reduced; and the Ward of the Fallen blessing with 2 stacks or more cannot be fully removed by him either. If it does work, chaining his A3 into A2 is a game-winning play though.

P1 – Ghost With the Most

The first part of Fabian’s passive helps counter enemy revivers and sets up another way to trigger his A2 bonus attacks.

The second part of his passive removes CC effects from Fabian before his turn starts. It’s important to note that while this will enable him to take his turn, he will still miss out on his A2 bonus attacks while he is CC’d, which is a decent part of his value as a champion. It’s still a great passive though which makes it very difficult to stop him using his A3 to keep you locked out.

Aura

A 19% SPD in All Battles aura is a useful but fairly standard legendary aura. For arena (where Fabian really shines), you will definitely want to bring a stronger aura than this one.

For Siege, which is effectively an arena mode where arena auras don’t work, his aura is much more useful, and will likely be a go-to for most players when building their teams.

Best Stats

The key stats to look for on Fabian are:

1. Speed
2. Accuracy
3. HP
4. DEF

The build priority for Fabian is pretty simple: go as fast as possible while having enough accuracy to land his effects/debuffs on the enemy. Some HP and DEF are nice to help him survive, but these are much lower priority than getting SPD, ACC and good sets on him.

With his impressive 109 base speed, you can reasonably aim to build Fabian as one of your fastest champions, or speed tune him (therefore trading some SPD for higher ACC) to your arena Turn Meter Boosters.

Best Gear Sets

The recommended sets for Fabian are:

1. Pinpoint
2. Speed
3. Perception
4. Supersonic
5. Stoneskin
6. Feral

One core feature across nearly all of Fabian’s best sets is that they will boost his SPD and ACC.

Pinpoint is his best set (and it is very worthwhile trying to get 4 pieces on him) because it will protect him from Polymorph Blessings when he uses his A2. This can ensure he sets up his Fear and Petrification chains with his A2 passive.

4-piece Supersonic gives a very strong bonus for cutting in after enemies buff, which is particularly strong on Fabian since he can usually remove all buffs with his A3 (the common execption being protected buffs, e.g. a fast Siphi in Protection set).

4-piece Stoneskin is an interesting alternative build option. This will help Fabian survive the first turn of the fight (particularly against Taras/Marichka teams since Taras counterattacks after Fabian’s A3) but the set gives no SPD so you will have to weight that tradeoff.

Best Masteries

Best Blessings

There are several great options for Blessings for Fabian, and we are expecting a Hero’s Path event or Titan Event for his 5-star soul at the end of his fusion.

1. Temporal Chains: this will help Fabian cut in and control the enemies if they succeed in getting buffs up.
2. Polymorph: this is a defensive option that will help against any enemies with debuffs.
3. Intimidating Prescence: although Fabian himself doesn’t have the best aura, having a high ranked IP blessing is essential for any speed team in arena.

Best Relics

There are several great options for Relics for Fabian as well, though you might find need certain relics for other champions, depending on how many you have.

1. Temporal Stagnator (Legendary Clan Relic): this is clearly designed with Fabian in mind, giving ACC, SPD, and letting him lockout on weak hits. Great gems too.
2. Wand of Submission (Legendary Standard Relic): arguably the best arena relic in the game, this will protect Fabian from Polymorph, and throw other CC back (he removes them with his passive, but throwing them back still is extremely valuable).
3. Orb of Transfixion (Epic Chimera Relic): lets him steal some buffs with his constant counterattacks, but poor stats and gems.
4. Molten Deathbell (Rare Chimera Relic): ACC main stat and extra turn meter when landing Fears makes this his best budget option.
