Vallaryn the Equalizer Overview
This is an initial review of Vallaryn the Equalizer, and ratings are subject to change following further playtesting.
Vallaryn is a progression focused damage dealer who combines Weaken, Leech, and Heal Reduction with strong single target damage, while his passive punishes enemy healing and helps him cycle skills faster, making him particularly effective against healing focused bosses and wave encounters.
This sorcerer of the Undead Hordes has a singular purpose, and failure is never an option. Rising from the underworld of Teleria as the Loyalty Programme Champion during the Web of Corruption event, Vallaryn brings a valuable mix of core debuffs and damage, making him a solid option for progressing players.
The interaction with his passive is quite unique, allowing him to counterattack enemies whenever they are healed. This pairs well with his A1, a double hit attack that can place Heal Reduction, making him particularly effective against bosses such as Nether Spider, Mimic, Amius, and Isheth, while also helping counter healing heavy waves and encounters.
Through his A2, he brings an AoE attack that places both Weaken and Leech, enabling teams to deal more damage while providing a valuable source of healing. This pairs especially well with AoE Decrease DEF Champions, creating an effective setup for increasing overall team damage. His passive also helps him cycle skills, decreasing the cooldown of one of his abilities by 2 turns whenever he loses 30% or more of his HP from an enemy attack.
Lastly, his primary damage skill comes from his A3, a double hit single-target attack that removes debuffs from himself before swapping HP with the target. The attack ignores 15% DEF by default, increasing to 30% and ignoring Shields when his HP is higher than the enemy’s. This makes target selection important, as choosing a higher HP enemy can help maximise both the HP swap and the damage potential of the skill.
