Bulwark is a Rare Void Defense champion from the Dwarven faction, a fearless dwarf whose versatile debuff kit has made him one of the strongest rares for early player progression, especially against Clan Boss.
Core Strengths & Abilities
HP Burn and Weaken Pressure: His A1, Hefty Flail, hits twice with each hit carrying a 15% chance (30% booked) to apply a 15% Weaken for 2 turns. His A2, Meteoric Ignition, has a 75% chance (100% booked) to place HP Burn for 2 turns on a 3-turn cooldown when booked, which is valuable against bosses vulnerable to burn damage like the Frost Spider.
Debuff Extension Passive: His passive, Punishing Defenses, triggers whenever he's attacked, giving a 30% chance to extend the duration of all debuffs on the attacker by 1 turn. This acts as a budget Vizier-style effect that keeps crucial debuffs active longer, adding value to any debuff-heavy team.
Key Weaknesses
Passive Reliability: The 30% trigger chance on his passive is unbooked and cannot be improved through skill leveling, so it remains inconsistent rather than a guaranteed effect, and his overall damage output is modest outside of burn synergy.
Bulwark shines in Clan Boss teams, Doom Tower Secret Rooms, and Faction Wars waves, making him a genuinely useful long-term pick for progression-focused rosters.
