Drokgul the Gaunt

Last Updated: January 28, 2026

Drokgul the Gaunt Overview

Drokgul is a support legendary who offers shields, emergency protection, and Increase DEF and ATK buffs, with situational value in PVE waves & boss progression content despite the niche shield retaliation mechanics.

Drokgul the Gaunt was introduced to the Ogryn Tribes faction as a Fragment Collector champion in September 2020, bringing a kit focused on team protection and damage enhancement.

On paper, he generated high expectations thanks to his unique Shield based mechanics, but in practice, his A3 is somewhat niche. While allies are healed when his Shields expire or are removed, the retaliation aspect of his kit only triggers when the Shield is broken by damage, making his counterattack mechanics inconsistent. With a few adjustments to how these triggers work, Drokgul could have been a far stronger champion.

That said, Drokgul still has value in certain areas of the game, particularly in PVE waves & general boss content. He also offers useful support if options are limited, providing both Increase DEF and Increase ATK on the same skill, boosting team survivability and damage output. Additionally, he can place Block Damage on allies under 30% HP, helping protect the most vulnerable members of the team during tough moments.
