Warchief

Last Updated: September 11, 2025

Warchief Overview

Warchief is a Provoke focused control tank who shines in Magma Dragon, Hydra, and wave content, offering buff stealing, shields, and improved AoE control, though his value remains situational.

Warchief is a Force affinity Legendary from the Skinwalkers faction whose primary value lies in encounters where Provoke is effective, such as against Kuldath the Magma Dragon and the Head of Decay in Hydra, where he can maintain constant control.

Warchief received a slight buff with a one turn cooldown reduction and the added potential to apply Provoke on an AoE with his A2. While this did not dramatically change his Provoke uptime, the ability to steal buffs helps counter effects such as Block Debuffs, and the Shield it provides adds valuable team protection. The new chance to apply Provoke to all enemies also improves his ability to lock down waves in PvE content like the Cursed City and Faction Wars.

This Shield synergises with his passive, healing allies for 25% of the damage absorbed while increasing Warchief’s DEF by 10% for each enemy under Provoke, or 5% for those not provoked. This interaction allows his DEF to scale, strengthening his Shields while improving both his survivability and team sustain. While Warchief remains a niche option, he is a solid choice in situations where reliable single-target or AOE control is needed.
