Kawn Branchbreaker

This fierce warrior has long guarded the ancient trees of the Mistwood, ensuring the loggers from Yakai never laid their hands on them. But in a rare moment when Kawn let his guard down, some of the most sacred trees were cut down and stolen. From that day forward, he vowed to bring vengeance to those responsible. Fuelled by rage, Kawn went on a relentless rampage until the Arbiter intervened, capturing his spirit in a shard. In the great battle of Teleria, he was accidentally re-summoned, once again ready to continue his quest for revenge. Kawn Branchbreaker is a Legendary Void champion from the Orcs faction.

Kawn is a damage dealer who becomes stronger while under Shields, while protecting allies and placing Block Revive on those who fall to his Timbermaker. Opening with his Hardy Soul [A3], he places both a Shield and Strengthen buff on all allies, along with Counterattack on himself. This works perfectly for his A1, which can Block Revive if it kills the target. While protected by his Shield, Kawn also removes a random buff from his target before attacking, and increases his own Shield based on the damage dealt, up to a maximum of 10,000. These effects are not only powerful in PvP, but also against waves and bosses like the Demon Lord, providing both team protection and damage potential.

Smashing his enemies with Barkbreaker [A2], this AOE attack ignores each target’s Defence equal to 50% of the difference between his MAX HP and any Shields on them. Additionally, he destroys their MAX HP by 20% [up to 50%], and this effect ignores Shields. To optimize his damage potential, you’ll want him under Increase Defence and scale the value of his A3’s Shield, and lower his HP to widen the gap, allowing him to ignore further Defence and hit enemies harder.

Lastly, through his passive, he cleanses one debuff from himself each turn. Every time he does, his Defence increases by 3%, stacking up to 30%. On every fourth turn, he removes all debuffs and places Increase Defence on himself. In prolonged fights, especially those where he’s receiving debuffs to cleanse, like Hydra, you can stack his Defence for maximum damage output. Leading back to the Demon Lord, he could also serve as an ideal Stun target, since he removes the debuff from himself at the start of his turn!
