Broodlord is an Epic Defence champion of the Force affinity from the Lizardmen faction, hatched into the game as part of the 2021 Christmas Fusion event. He is a reactionary defender designed to guard a single ally and punish attackers — but nearly his entire kit only fires against enemies already under Decrease Speed.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Conditional Crowd Control: His A3, Primal Tremor, attacks all enemies with a 1-turn Stun — 50% chance once booked, rising to 75% against targets under Decrease SPD. His two-hit A1 likewise gains a 50% booked chance per hit to Provoke targets that are slowed.
Single-Ally Protection: Defend the Nest places a 50% Ally Protection buff for 2 turns plus a 1-turn Block Debuffs on one ally, while shielding Broodlord himself for 20% of his MAX HP, on a 3-turn booked cooldown. A high-resistance protected target has niche use against the Hydra's Head of Mischief.
Retaliatory Slowdown: His Eggwatcher passive gives a 45% booked chance to place a 30% Decrease SPD debuff on anyone attacking him or his protected ally, feeding his own kit's condition.
Key Weaknesses
Dependent & Unreliable: Everything hinges on Decrease SPD being present, and his passive is too inconsistent to supply it alone — he really needs a partner like Psylar or Mother Cybele. His ratings are poor across bosses, notably Clan Boss and Iron Twins.
Broodlord is a niche pick, at his best in Spider (his top rating at 7) and paired speed-control comps.
