Baerd the Broad is a Legendary Magic Champion from the Sylvan Watchers faction, built as a flexible mix of sustain, debuff manipulation, and control that performs across both PvE and PvP.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Debuff Manipulation: His A2, Thieving Axeman, is a 3-hit single-target skill (4-turn cooldown) where the first hit steals all buffs from the target at a 75% chance, the second transfers his own debuffs onto them, and the third spreads all debuffs from that enemy across the rest of the enemy team — a highly disruptive combination in any matchup.
Control & Reflect: His A3, Bucklan's Strength (5-turn cooldown), is an AoE attack that places Provoke on all enemies plus a 75% chance of Pain Link reflecting 45% of damage dealt, while also granting Counterattack to himself and the ally with the highest Crit Damage.
Damage-Fueled Healing: His passive heals all allies for 40% of any damage he takes, and grants him a 60% Increase DEF buff at the end of his turn, converting incoming punishment into team-wide sustain.
Key Weaknesses
No Guaranteed Buff Steal: The buff-steal on his A2's first hit tops out at 75%, so it can still whiff against high-Resistance targets even when booked, and his kit lacks any raw damage output to compensate if the disruption fails to land.
With his best ratings in Spider (10), Amius (8), and solid marks in Dragon, Fire Knight, and Hydra (all 8), Baerd fits well into Spider farming and mixed PvE content that rewards debuff manipulation and reflect-based control.
