Royal Huntsman

Last Updated: June 4, 2025

Royal Huntsman Overview

Royal Hunstman can be seen from miles away due to his shining armour. Still not quite sure how he sees his targets when his headgear sits so low on his face but clearly it must be working!

He is a Spirit affinity legendary from the High Elves faction. Royal Huntsman has one of the hardest-hitting A3 abilities in the game to destroy a tank as it ignores all defence! This is especially good for Arena provided you can control the rest of the threats. He also has an AOE decrease defence ability which is a 100% chance to hit if you land a critical hit. Therefore you need to build good speed, accuracy, and 100% crit rate to get the most out of him.

In January 2021 the Royal Huntsman has his AI changed so that he does use his A3 hard-hitting nuke on Auto against bosses. This is a game-changer and made his viability much stronger! Huntsman is particularly strong at wave nuking in all content rather than boss encounters, this is because of his a2, which also brings Decrease Defence for offensive support!
