Perforator

Last Updated: October 13, 2025

Perforator Overview

Perforator isn’t the strongest dwarf in the mines, but his bolts hit like a runaway mine cart. With a sharp eye and a sharper aim, he’s earned a reputation for punching holes through even the toughest enemies.

This Rare is among the strongest single target nukers in his rarity, boasting a straightforward yet deadly kit for both PvE and PvP. His A2 slices through 50% of an enemy’s DEF and grants him an Extra Turn if he secures the kill, letting him chain devastating attacks. Pair him with sets like Lethal or Merciless, the Helmsmasher mastery, or Live Arena bonuses, and he can reach 100% DEF ignore – which is strong on a 3 turn cooldown.

After defeating your first target, you can follow up with his A1, which has a 50% chance to place a Poison – but the real value comes from its raw damage, especially when paired with a Relic like Gorecrescent. This can create a 1-2 combo capable of killing two enemies in the same turn, and with his short A2 cooldown, you can cycle this sequence consistently.

Overall, he’s a strong Rare to consider for modes like Siege (where clans often set Rare only posts), Faction limited content such as Cursed City and Faction Wars, and even Doom Tower Secret Rooms. On top of that, he brings extra utility with a chance to inflict Fear on targets he critically hits.
