Balthus Drauglord is an Epic Spirit Defence champion of the Undead Hordes, introduced as part of the legendary fusion for Pyxniel. In life a leader of Teleria's criminal underworld, in the game he is an all-rounder tank whose high DEF and HP base stats are backed by a punishing damage-reflect passive.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Arena Tanking: His Enchanted Shields passive reflects 30% of all damage he receives back to the attacker, which combined with his tanky stat spread makes him a viable Arena defence anchor.
Provoke Control: His A3 has a guaranteed chance once booked of placing Provoke for 2 turns while healing him for 20% of his MAX HP, on a 4-turn booked cooldown — notably useful in Doom Tower against Kuldath the Magma Dragon.
Debuff Support: His A1 can place a 50% Decrease ATK debuff for Clan Boss teams, and his A2 is an AoE attack with a 75% chance of a 30% Decrease C. Rate debuff on a 3-turn booked cooldown.
Key Weaknesses
Unreliable A1: The Decrease ATK lands only 40% of the time even fully booked, far below dedicated Clan Boss champions, making his signature debuff inconsistent.
Balthus fits best as a mid-game tank and Provoke option, with his strongest showings in Clan Boss and Ice Golem (both 7).
