Taras the Fierce

Last Updated: June 4, 2025

Taras the Fierce Overview

Taras is a powerful Banner Lords legendary who excels at weakening enemies while scaling massive damage and sustain through team buffs, backed by strong crowd control, damage reduction passives, and unique synergy with Marichka.

A legendary fighter with endless stamina, Taras joins the Banner Lords to rally them to victory.

Taras is an outstanding champion at frustrating and weakening your opponent whilst carrying a few punches himself. He has a unique partnership with Marichka the Unbreakable and has vowed to protect her retaliating against any enemy attacking her with his A2 which is a 100% 2 turn Stun debuff (that also deals twice the damage to high Attack enemies). His A1 places a Decrease ATK on a 50% chance but also increases all allies turn meters by 5% per critical hit (10% total per attack). Taras’s most potent skill is his A3 which will increase in damage by 15% for each buff on your team potentially increasing damage by several 100% and also extends all the buffs by 1 turn. He also packs a powerful self heal, 5% for each buff he extends whilst also restoring his MAX HP (particularly useful against Hydra or the Sand Devil).

This kit alone ranks him as a strong legendary but his passives truly make him strong. His first gradually weakens attack based opponents up to a maximum of 50% in the arena or waves and 25% against bosses whilst also place a fear on any Orc, Ogryn, Undead Horde or Demonspawn champion before a sword is even raised. You’ll want to defeat Taras quickly if you face him but his second passive counters this by reducing ALL skill damage (not debuffs!) by 50% a huge damage reduction. This does come at a cost to his MAX HP which will get decreased heavily but bring plenty of his buffs and his heal on the A3 will make him difficult to take down.

A very complex and packed champion but S tier for sure.
