Metalshaper

Last Updated: May 4, 2024

Metalshaper Overview

Hiding amongst the misty swamps of Telaria, this fortified lizard does whatever it takes to protect his own! Metalshaper is a Rare Support champion residing from the lizardmen Faction.

The primary reason for implementing Metalshaper in to your team would be for The Scarab King & Faction Wars progression, although he may be handy against other encounters. His Fortified Steel [A2] places a Shield buff on all allies for 2 turns, on a 2 turn cooldown. When tuning this champion to be the fastest in your team for The Scarab King, he will consistently be placing a this Shield to counter the bosses passive [Where he can counter attack], therefore making him a great option for the role. You will of course need to build to correct synergy around him, by ways of Turn Meter manipulation / Decrease Speed & Decreasing the bosses MAX HP to gain a victory with this strategy.

Metalshaper can also Remove all Debuffs from an ally with the lowest HP, then heals this ally by 20% of this champion’s MAX HP, followed by placing a 30% Increase Defence on them. Some key areas you may find this useful would be for Spider / Nether Spider progression to keep your mitigated champions alive! Last but not least, he has a default skill that can steal random buffs from a target, which can be great for the Magic Keep [As an example] to remove the insanely large shield!
