Deacon Armstrong

Last Updated: September 11, 2025

Deacon Armstrong Overview

In the ancient halls of the Sacred Order, Deacon Armstrong is revered as a master of control. Wielding his mace infused with divine power, he debuffs enemies, enabling his allies to unleash devastating damage while replenishing their health with each strike.

Deacon Armstrong’s skill set has universal value, excelling as a powerful Turn Meter manipulator and debuffer. His Time Compression [A3] skill increases your allies Turn Meter and decreases your enemies by 15%, with the extra turn leading directly into his AOE Decrease Defence [A2]. This makes him an ideal go first option for Arena and equally valuable in Dungeons, Doom Tower, and certain Clan Boss speed tunes. His A1 applies a Leech debuff, providing healing for your team, though its single target focus makes it most effective against bosses. To maximize his effectiveness, ensure he has high speed and accuracy.
