Cardinal

Last Updated: June 4, 2025

Cardinal Overview

Cardinal is a Sacred Order Epic best known for her instant-turn revive, making her exceptional for Arena revive nuke strategies and a top-tier choice for securing 3-star clears in Sacred Order Faction Wars when built fast and tanky.

Cardinal has a sword too long for her and why doesn’t she have a helmet when she’s going into war?!

She is a Void epic from the Sacred Order faction. She has the best revive ability in the game ensuring that whoever she revives gets to go next! Cardinal has been used in a lot of Arena compositions in Platinum play where the rest of the team are made to die, be revived and then NUKE, she can be really fun to use.

Aside from Arena, Cardinal is one of the best champions in the Sacred Order for Faction Wars bringing a full team revive helping you achieve 3 stars in every level. I tend to build my Cardinal as a fast tank with high resist, defence and HP. Cardinal is a great champion and extremely fun in niche Arena teams.
