The Calamitus

Last Updated: May 4, 2024

The Calamitus Overview

This necromancer has risen from the shadow realm, and he’s recruited a horde to impose bloodshed on the underworld… until he finds out who put him there! The Calamitus is the first Mythical Champion to join the Undead Hordes Faction.

BASE FORM
As a Mythical champion, Calamitus can switch between two Metamorphs, with each form granting a different set of abilities. In his base form, he’s a tactician in placing Debuffs, restoring his health & inflicting damage to your foe. Opening with Necroclysm [A3], he inflicts an always critical attack on all enemies, followed by placing an Unkillable buff upon killing enemies. Whether you’re battling it out in Arena, or facing waves of enemies, this will add that extra layer of protection for survival. Leading in to the Horde of Calamity [A3], he applies a Block Buffs, Decrease Defence, Weaken & Decrease Speed Debuffs, whilst ignoring 10% of the target’s Defence with each attack. This ability holds universal value for single target encounters, by placing valuable Debuffs without the need for multiple champions. Calamitus is also heavy on self restoration, as he heals by 50% every turn, then heals & restores HP with his default attack. This can make this champion feel immortal in battle… especially as he grants extra attacks upon killing enemies for further heals.

ALTERNATE FORM
As Calamitus Metamorphs… he becomes a Hydra slaying machine! Although many champions can place Hex or Decrease Defence debuffs, he’s the first champions that can Ignore Life barrier & Poison Cloud buffs. Poison Cloud is an unremovable buff that converts all incoming attacks to weak hits when not under burn, therefore, placing attacks through this can alleviate bad situations, such as releasing your allies from digestion. Leading in to the A2, Calamitus will inflict 10% extra damage for each debuff on each target, Ignores 20% DEF if they’re under Hex, whilst removing Debuffs before the attack. In the Hydra, or simply against enemies… layering the foundations to set up the big nukes can be extremely powerful the more you can cycle this. Last but not least, he can transfer all debuffs to an attacker, making him a strong candidate to deflect poisons back to the Dragon [as an example].
