Acolyte Of The Slither

Last Updated: March 24, 2026

Acolyte Of The Slither Overview

Acolyte of the Slither is a great Rare, offering Apothecary level speed support with added AoE Decrease SPD, healing, and Turn Meter control, making him valuable from early progression through to mid-game content.

From the initial batch of Argonites Rares, Acolyte of the Slither stands out as the strongest of the group. His kit draws clear comparisons to the long revered Apothecary, a champion players have relied on for years and in some areas, Acolyte even improves on that.

His A3 is identical, placing Increase Speed on all allies while boosting their Turn Meters by 15%. This provides excellent speed manipulation across all areas of the game, helping your team outpace enemies in boss fights, wave content, and even PvP. He follows this up with an AoE attack that has a 75% chance to place the smaller version of Decrease Speed, while also healing all allies by 15%.

If you’re looking to combine Increase and Decrease Speed within a single champion, using the Nature’s Bounty blessing gives him the chance to place the stronger version of Decrease Speed instead, significantly improving his value in tougher content like Hydra. This debuff also enhances his triple hit A1, increasing the Turn Meter reduction from 5% to 10% per hit when attacking targets under Decrease Speed, making him especially effective in encounters like Dark Fae and Fire Knight.

Overall, Acolyte of the Slither is shaping up to be one of the best Rare champions in the game, offering strong value in early progression while remaining relevant into later game content such as Secret Rooms and Sintranos stages.
