Castigator

Rare · Magic · HP · Sacred Order

Castigator is a Rare Magic HP champion who joined the Sacred Order as part of the 2021 Christmas Fusion Event. His thesis: an unusually powerful Rare built around an Equalize HP ability that heals before leveling the playing field, giving him outsized value for his rarity.

Core Strengths & Abilities

Heal-Then-Equalize Sustain: His A2, Holy Equity, heals the lowest-HP ally for 20% of Castigator's own MAX HP, then equalizes HP levels across all allies and grants Castigator an Extra Turn. Booking this down to a 4-turn cooldown makes it a strong, repeatable sustain tool, notably healing before equalizing (unlike similar effects on champions like Sinesha), which makes the leveling more generous.

Reliable Provoke on a Basic: Castigate, his A1, carries a 25% base chance (40% booked) to place a 1-turn Provoke debuff, an unusually high rate for a basic attack, giving him a genuine taunting/control role.

Defensive Passive Synergy: Rebuff reduces damage taken by 15% from any enemy under a Provoke debuff, meaning his own Provoke uptime directly improves his survivability, reinforcing his tank-support identity.

Key Weaknesses

Provoke Chance Still Inconsistent: Even at 40% booked, his Provoke isn't guaranteed, so he can't be relied upon as a dedicated taunt tank in high-pressure content.

Weak Arena and Chimera Presence: His low Arena (3) and Chimera (3) ratings show his kit doesn't translate well to fast, competitive PvP or Chimera's Lab mechanics.

Castigator is best used as a budget Faction Wars sustain and control piece and a surprisingly capable Doom Tower and Fire Knight support for a Rare-grade champion.
