Akemtum

Last Updated: June 12, 2025

Akemtum Overview

Akemtum is a poison-focused debuffer who uniquely spreads and amplifies debuffs through Hex, making him exceptional for wave-based content and Hydra where controlling and multiplying debuffs is key.

What do you get when you combine Brakus the Shifter with dangerous toxins – the answer Akemtum who joins the Skinwalkers as part of patch 6.40.

Poisons are the name of the game with Akemtum who attacks 3 times on the A1 with a 50% chance of placing a Poison debuff. What makes Akemtum unique is his ability to place and interact with Hex debuff. His A2 attacks all enemies 3 times (double triple hit making Giant Slayer a great mastery choice), with each hit having a chance to either increase the duration of Hex or instead place it for 2 turns. When Akemtum then attacks a Hex target with his A1, each hit will have a chance to spread 1 random debuff to all enemies. This combination makes him a powerful debuffer and one of the few viable debuff spread options. It doesn’t end there with Akemtum, who brings a unique passive that causes a poison debuff to also damage any enemy under a Hex debuff. The passive could potentially be meta defining in some dungeon teams.

Akemtum is a powerful poisoner for any wave based content such as dungeon waves, faction wars and Doom Tower waves! He is also an insane debuff spreader for Hydra Clan Boss.
