Dunestrider Overview

When Dunestrider first arrived in Teleria, a curious mystery surrounded her – she appeared in game without her left boot. No explanation was ever given, but somewhere down the line, it quietly reappeared. Dunestrider is a Rare champion from the Barbarians faction.

Dunestrider had the potential to be a budget alternative to Alure, thanks to her A2 – but unfortunately, it doesn’t function quite the same. The skill attacks three times at random, and each critical hit decreases the target’s Turn Meter by 10%, though only once per target. If it worked more like Alure’s repeat depletion , she could’ve been a strong counter to bosses like Dark Fae or the Fire Knight. As it stands, the utility is mediocre at best.

This theme of limited effectiveness continues into her A3. While it’s an AOE hit, only the lowest HP enemy is targeted afterwards, which applies a 100% Heal Reduction debuff. This makes her viable for single target bosses like the Fire Knight or Amius, but much less useful in wave based encounters or against bosses like the Nether Spider. Finally, her A1 has a chance to apply a 30% Decrease Defence, which could be upgraded to the stronger version if using the Nature’s Bounty blessing.
