Grugtha Darkseer Overview
This is an initial review of Grugtha Darkseer, and ratings are subject to change following further playtesting.
Grugtha is an AoE damage dealer built for wave clearing, using DEF & HP manipulation, and self scaling damage to snowball fights, while sustaining herself through healing, shields, and Turn Meter gain.
As Siroth sought to turn members of the Ogryn Tribes to his cause, he found a willing ally in Grugtha Darkseer. Once left blind by intruders who ravaged her homeland, she now channels that pain into vengeance, determined to inflict the same suffering upon any who stand before her.
Grugtha’s abilities are revolved around dealing heavy damage while manipulating enemy defences, with her ATK and the enemy’s HP levels determining how powerful her skills become. As a champion who attacks all enemies with each hit, similar to Bellower, she naturally excels as a wave clearer. This is especially effective when paired with champions like Craklin, allowing for Ogryn team-up attacks.
Grugtha’s A3 is a double-hitting AoE that sets up her kit, applying Increase C.DMG and Shatter to herself, while decreasing enemy DEF by 10% per hit (up to 30%), destroying up to 60% of their HP, and granting an Extra Turn if she secures a kill. You can then lead into her A2, which equalises enemy HP – making its impact dependent on their current state.
Against targets above 50% HP, you gain 30% Ignore DEF, while below 50% grants an extra hit, with kills further increasing her ATK% to scale her damage even higher. Passively, she sustains herself by healing or filling her Turn Meter on critical hits, with excess healing converting into Shields. This allows her to maintain strong self-sustain while cycling turns faster, keeping pressure on enemies.
