Dune Herald Zaharis Overview

Zaharis is a speed and control support who protects allies from crowd control with Intercept and Block Debuffs, boosts team speed, and spreads buffs and debuffs. He excels in Clan Boss (including 2:1 setups), Hydra, and control focused PvE/PvP by stealing target buffs, blocking skills, and helping his team land debuffs.

When this Barbarian speaks, it’s not just his allies who hear him… it’s a call to battle that echoes through the skies, summoning his army of hawks to rain havoc on any who dare challenge him. With these fierce birds by his side, they stir up powerful whirlwinds in the desert, protecting his allies from enemy sorcery and granting them speed like never before. Dune Herald Zaharis is a Legendary Support champion from the Barbarians faction.

Zaharis is a strong option for speed manipulation and blocking incoming effects, while also offering buff spreads for allies and debuff spreads against enemies. Opening with his A3, he applies an Intercept stack to an ally, then places Block Debuffs and Increase Speed on all allies. The Intercept buff blocks incoming crowd control effects on the wearer, and the stacks won’t be reduced when Block Debuffs is active – unless the incoming effect specifically states it cannot be blocked, in which case stacks will be removed. This combination makes Zaharis highly effective at countering debuffs across various game modes, while also helping your team cycle turns faster or enabling 2:1 speed tunes in Clan Boss.

When the Herald speaks [A2], he steals all buffs from an enemy, then uses Buff Spread to apply those buffs from himself to all allies. At the same time, he places Block Buffs and Block Active Skills on his target. Whether you’re stealing buffs from a Hydra Head, or stripping them from enemies in PvE or PvP, this skill is a great way to control their active skills, and prevent them from placing further buffs. Leading into the A1, he can Debuff Spread two random debuffs from his target, placing them on all enemies.

This works well for spreading Block Buffs, Block Active Skills, or any other debuffs already in play. Lastly, his passive applies Increase Accuracy to all allies at the start of each round, giving them a better chance to land their effects right away. In addition, he fills his Turn Meter by 5% whenever debuffs are removed, expire, or are decreased on enemies, helping him cycle through his turns faster.
