Fjorad Wolfheart

This Dwarven warrior may wield an axe and a totem cloaked in flames, but the true power flowing through his veins is ice. Fjorad grew up in the mountains, raised amongst a pack of wolves, always feeling more beast than dwarf. Recognizing his strength, the rulers of the Dwarven empire deemed him worthy to lead the kingdom and granted him ancient magic beyond imagination… In an instant, the flames vanished, his skin turned icy blue, and Tormin gifted him an axe with the power to freeze his enemies solid. Fjorad Wolfheart is a Mythical champion from the Dwarves faction.

BASE FORM
At first glance, this form seems purely focused on crowd controlling enemies with Freeze debuffs, but Fjorad brings further utility for various encounters. His A3 applies Freeze and Decrease Speed to all enemies, followed by an Extra Turn to either Metamorph into his alternate form or use another skill. This setup is ideal for transitioning into his alternate form to ignore more defence and Block Revive killed enemies, but it can also be used purely for crowd control, especially against enemies from the Gaellen Pact, who remain frozen for two turns.

His A2 provides Block Debuffs and Increase Speed to allies while reducing their skill cooldowns by one turn. This makes him a strong option for bosses like Hydra & Hard Fire Knight, where both forms of speed manipulation are essential. He helps allies cycle their skills faster, slows down his targets, blocks harmful debuffs, and uses Freeze to control the enemies Turn Meter. This utility also extends to the Arena & other PVE areas, where enemies who attack him carry a chance to be frozen, and his A1 offers even more Freeze opportunities for controlling enemies.

ALTERNATE FORM
As Fjorad morphs into his frozen form, he transforms into a true damage machine. Freezing enemies in his base form sets up the full potential of his kit, maximizing the impact of both active skills. His Icequake A2 is an AOE attack that deals an extra hit on enemies under crowd control effects, decreases their MAX HP by 25% of the damage inflicted [up to 50%], and reduces their Turn Meters by 25%. Whether through his own crowd control or that of an ally, having a control effect on your enemies is key to enhancing the value of this attack and making it irresistible.

His A3 is a single target nuke that ignores 50% of defence, or 100% if the target is under Freeze, and applies Block Revive if the enemy is killed while frozen. To fully capitalize on this, either set him up with his own Freeze or pair him with allies like Tormin or Gurgoh. Additionally, when enemies try to increase his skill cooldowns, he counterattacks with his A1, resetting the cooldown of a skill if he kills an enemy. This could allow him to cycle back to his skills that were manipulated.
