Arbalester is a Rare Void Attack champion from the Undead Hordes faction, a crossbow-wielding sniper who prefers to kill from afar. She is close to being good, with hard-hitting single-target abilities, but ultimately lacks the utility to earn a team slot.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Cooldown Punishment: Her A2, Lethargy, attacks one enemy with a 60% chance of putting the target's skills on cooldown — a genuinely disruptive effect when it lands, though it sits on an unbookable 4-turn cooldown.
Debuff-Scaling Nuke: Her A3, Soulbreak (5-turn booked cooldown), deals damage that increases with the number of debuffs on the target, rewarding pairing with debuff-heavy teammates.
Debuff Shedding: Her A1 has a 50% chance (75% once booked) to transfer one random debuff from herself to the target, giving her a small self-cleanse on every basic attack.
Key Weaknesses
No AoE, Thin Utility: Everything she does is single-target, and she brings no control or team debuffs of consequence, so she cannot claim either the damage-dealer or support role. She is not worth books or masteries, and with the Undead Hordes' strong faction depth she is unlikely to be worth your time even in Faction Wars.
At best, Arbalester offers modest early Clan Boss value (her only above-average rating), but nearly every other content area rates poorly for her.
