Gnishak Verminlord
Last Updated: April 6, 2026
Gnishak Verminlord Overview
With his famous crown, and glorious attire, Gnishak Verminlord arrives to claim fiefdom over Teleria. He joins as the the 2022 Christmas Fusion Champion.
Bombs and Poisons are central to Gnishak’s abilities and he has a pretty complete and powerful setup to maximise his bombs potential. With the A3 he’ll place 2 bombs with a 2 turn detonation and then gains an extra turn. His A2 then reduces the duration of those bombs by 1 turn, ensuring the enemies will take bomb explosions on their next turn. He also has a 100% Decrease Attack alongside the ability to extend all poison debuffs. The cool thing about Gnishak over other bomb champions is that his bombs will deal double the damage to any enemies over 200k HP which is the case for most Higher Stage wave champions and almost guarenteed for bosses. He also can place bombs on his A1 although this is a random attack so less valuable on waves but incredibly valuable on single targets.
What makes Gnishak unique, is his passive with place 2 Poisons on any target when a bomb explodes and these poisons will be protected meaning they cannot be removed. Clearly a crazy bomb and poison champion although you could face the issue of running out of debuff slots (10 is the max!) if he continues to extend poison debuffs all the time. Awesome to solo high level Dungeons like Dragon 25 and Ice Golem 25 and great against Bommal – See the BOMMAL 1 SHOT video.
