Hierophant Lazarius Overview
Wielding the staff of the Flame Vulcan, this cobra dragon harnesses the power to cause volcanic destruction across the battlefield! Hierophant Lazarius joins Teleria as the first Mythical Champion from the Lizardmen Faction.
Base Form
The skills here can be extremely powerful for content such as the Arena, Doom Tower & Hydra [as examples], due to placing crucial buffs and debuffs that coincide with a unique passive. Opening with the Nest Of Vipers [A2], he places a Block Debuffs on your allies whilst decreasing the duration of enemy buffs, followed by placing a Block Buffs after attacking. The synergy here is powerful, as he not only keeps your team protected, but keeps buffs removed from the Hydra [as an example] which is a core to your success. The Rift’s Gaze [A3] can work as a great set up skill in Arena, similar to champion’s such as Lyssandra, and pairing this with the support buffs and revivals at the end of his turn can be clutch for victory.
Alternate Form
As we shape shift in to his Alternate Form, Hierophant gains destructive power. As you Metamorph you will notice you will gain the buffs from his alternate form passive, whilst also keeping the buffs from the base form passive. This opens the opportunity to have a deadly first attack, although this isn’t where the carnage ends! Lets think Warlord meets Baron… that’s what we have on our hands! Hierophant’s Passive Active Effect Increases the cooldown of all enemy skills by 2 turns when killing an enemy making him super effective as a DPS and Control champion. The scalability factor from his default skill & A2 is where the true damage potential comes to fruition, as optimising these can lead you to a more consistent AOE nuke to kill multiple enemies. Outside of the Arena these may also hold value for dealing raw damage against the Hydra & Demon Lord. Last but not least, his Flame Vulcan [A3] ignores many buff conditions, Ignores 30% Defence & steals 50% of the targets Turn Meter which also cannot be resisted.
