Retainer
Last Updated: June 18, 2025
Retainer Overview
When intruders attempt to infiltrate the Dark Elves’ lair, those captured are taken to a chamber guarded by the Retainer – a master of manipulation who can hypnotize enemies into believing they fight for his side. While under this trance, the Dark Elves use these intruders as unwitting agents, gathering intel on their true purpose and turning their own plans against them.
Retainer is a Void affinity Rare champion from the Dark Elves faction. His kit centers around self-applying Counterattack and healing, allowing him to retaliate when hit with a chance to place Decrease Defence with his A1. However, in content like Faction Wars where Crowd Control is key to locking down enemies, relying on being attacked to apply a weaker version of Decrease Defence is far from ideal.
His standout skill is his A3, which decreases a target’s Turn Meter by 50% and places a Sleep debuff if the Turn Meter is fully depleted. This can be useful for controlling the likes of Spider or bosses in Faction Wars. Still, overall, Retainer feels underwhelming compared to other Void Rares, such as Coldheart in the same faction.
