Pontiff Augustin

Last Updated: January 11, 2026

Pontiff Augustin Overview

Pontiff Augustin is a Knights Revenant control-focused legendary designed to punish buff-heavy teams, combining Turn Meter manipulation, buff stripping, and crowd control to disrupt enemy setups, especially in PvP and wave-based content.

Pontiff Augustin joins Raid as part of the Assassin’s Creed collaboration, appearing as the boss of the Event Dungeon. Players will face him as a key encounter during the event, with expectations that he will later become obtainable as a playable Legendary champion.

This Knights Revenant warrior excels at countering crowd control attempts, stripping enemy protection, and manipulating Turn Meter through his A2 and the Ensnare debuff. His setup comes from the A3, which applies Increase ACC and one Intercept stack to allies, boosts their Turn Meters by 25%, and grants him an Extra Turn. This lets him snowball straight into his next ability with enhanced Accuracy, improving his chances of landing his effects.

Targets under Ensnare receive reduced Turn Meter boosts, and since Pontiff can ignore Block Debuffs when applying it to enemies with three or more buffs, he can severely disrupt a team’s rhythm. When combined with his ability to remove buffs and apply a Turn Meter decrease that scales from 25% to 40% against heavily buffed targets, he can quickly put the enemy team on the back foot.

Passively, Pontiff reduces the damage allies take by 25% from enemies under Block Damage, Veil, or Stoneskin, helping them survive heavy hits. Enemies who gain buffs or receive Turn Meter boosts also face a 50% chance to have their buff durations reduced by one turn, further reinforcing his buff-manipulation kit. On top of that, his A1 has a 100% chance to steal a portion Turn Meter and apply Block Active Skills, making it extremely effective for locking down key enemies and preventing Mythicals from switching forms.

This is an initial review of Pontiff, and ratings are subject to change following playtesting – should he be released as a playable champion.
