Boughsmith Flannan is a Rare Defence champion of the Force affinity from the Sylvan Watchers faction, an elite weaponsmith who infuses Mistwood bark into his weaponry. He is a budget speed-control and accuracy-support champion whose whole kit unlocks around his own Decrease Speed debuff.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Speed Control Engine: His A2, Shatter Knees, attacks all enemies with a guaranteed (once booked) 15% Decrease SPD debuff for 2 turns on a 3-turn booked cooldown. His passive, Hammer Rhythm, then grants a 50% chance of an Extra Turn whenever Shatter Knees lands the debuff on 3 or more enemies.
Turn Meter Chip: His A1 hits twice, with each hit carrying a 40% booked chance of a 1-turn Stun and a 35% chance of Turn Meter depletion — 10% per proc instead of 5% against targets under his own Decrease SPD.
Accuracy Support: Mustersmith places a 25% Increase ACC buff on all allies for 2 turns, then teams up with a random ally to attack one enemy — handy for hitting accuracy thresholds and chipping Fire Knight's shield counter.
Key Weaknesses
Weak Debuff Values: He only carries the 15% version of Decrease SPD rather than the 30% variant, and his Stun and Turn Meter chances are unreliable per hit, so his control is more supplemental than dependable.
Flannan is an early-game control piece whose best homes are Fire Knight (his top rating) and Faction Wars progression until stronger options arrive.
