Lugan the Steadfast

Last Updated: April 6, 2026

Lugan the Steadfast Overview

Lugan’s 2026 buff transforms him into a strong defensive support and control champion, combining team wide protection, buff suppression, and Block Active Skills with improved damage, making him far more effective in both PvE and PvP progression.

Lugan the Steadfast might as well be called Lugan the Stinger – because all he really resembles is a wasp ready to strike. This Banner Lords Legendary has seen a strong resurgence following his 2026 buff, gaining a more impactful A2 to better protect allies, a harder hitting A3, and the addition of a passive that his kit was previously lacking.

His A3 has always been the standout, bringing an AoE Block Active Skills that can shut down enemy teams by forcing them onto their A1s, while also preventing Mythical Champions from switching forms. This ability now goes further, decreasing the duration of enemy buffs and ignoring 25% DEF while Lugan is under a Shield, allowing him to strip away enemy protection and deal more meaningful damage.

The A2 has also been significantly improved. Previously limited by only placing Increase DEF on himself, it now applies team wide, alongside Ally Protection and a 30% Shield. This change elevates Lugan into a far more reliable defensive champion, making him a strong option for Clan Boss, Dungeons, a wide range of PvE content, and even as a progression tank in PvP.

Finally, the addition of his passive ties the kit together, creating strong synergy with his A1. His default attack brings a 50% chance to Stun and ignores 20% DEF when counterattacking. These counterattacks can be triggered when allies are hit while protected by his Shield, opening the door to retaliation damage and control. On top of this, Lugan gains increased damage based on the number of active buffs he places on allies.
