RAID Rebalances: Claidna and Hakkorhn Smashlord!

Plarium has announced a new set of RAID Rebalances in the upcoming patch, this time featuring Claidna and Hakkorhn Smashlord.

These will likely be released around the time of the May 2024 Fusion, which begins on the 9th of May.

Let’s check out the news from Plarium.

After the following changes, you will find Claidna a more versatile and reliable Champion. Perfect not only against Sand Devil, she will also be a great addition to your Hydra or Arena teams.

When booked, her A1 will now grant a 100% chance to land Sleep, so from now on, you can fully rely on her taking care of [Sleep] debuff versus Al-Naemeh.
Her A2 got a new ability – restoring 100% of each ally’s destroyed MAX HP – which will come in handy not only in Sand Devil’s Necropolis but also against Hydra.

With Claidna on the team, you can utilize a powerful combo of [Decrease SPD] + [Leech] debuffs on enemies, restoring the ally’s destroyed MAX HP and then healing them at the same time.

Before placing [Block Debuffs] and [Revive on Death] buffs with her A3, she will also remove all debuffs from her allies. So, you if you haven’t got your perfect cleanser yet – look no further, Claidna got you covered!

Finally, her Passive will have a chance to completely block all incoming damage on a random ally, including Claidna herself.

[Touch of Slumber]
Attacks 1 enemy. Has an 80% chance of placing a [Sleep] debuff for 1 turn.
Fills this Champion’s Turn Meter by 15% if the [Sleep] debuff is placed.

[Lost In The Woods]
Has a 75% chance of placing a 30% [Decrease SPD] debuff and a [Leech] debuff on all enemies for 2 turns.
Restores 100% of each ally’s destroyed MAX HP, then heals all allies by 20% of this Champion’s MAX HP.

[Otherworld Infusion]
Removes all debuffs from all allies, then places a [Block Debuffs] buff and a [Revive on Death] buff on them for 2 turns.

[Fey Monarch [P]]
Has a 30% chance of completely blocking the incoming damage of the first hit of an attack on a random ally. Occurs once per turn.

I am sure all of you remember Hakkorhn Smashlord – once popular and beloved OG Champion, in desperate need of a few tweaks in his kit.

The following changes should make him more relevant and competitive in the current state of the game.

We have reduced his A2 CD from 4 to 3 turns on both basic and ascended versions of the skill. And his A3 no longer requires HP sacrifice.

From now on, Hakkorhn will simply attack all enemies with an ability to crit. After the attack, he will place a Shield on all allies, which better suits him as an HP tank compared to the old version of the skill.

[Rallying Bellow]
Cooldown reduced – 3 turns

[Blood Offering]
Attacks all enemies.
Places a [Shield] buff on all allies for 2 turns. The value of the [Shield] is equal to 20% of the damage dealt.
