Courtier is a Rare Attack champion from the Banner Lords faction, a battle-worn warrior who always seems to find himself on the losing end of a fight. His kit revolves around Speed manipulation, buff removal, and light crowd control.
Core Strengths & Abilities
AoE Speed Control: His A3, Whirling Blow, hits all enemies twice on a 5-turn cooldown that does not shorten with books, carrying a 33% chance to place a 30% Decrease SPD debuff for 2 turns — a low but useful roll for slowing down enemy waves.
Buff Removal: His A2, Denigrate, hits a single enemy 3 times on a 4-turn cooldown, with each hit carrying a 30% chance to strip 1 random buff from the target, giving him repeatable buff-stripping potential against a single foe.
Basic Crowd Control: His A1 carries a 25% chance to place Freeze for 1 turn on a single enemy, offering occasional hard control on his default attack.
Key Weaknesses
Low, Unbooked Chances: None of his key effect chances — Freeze, Decrease SPD, buff removal — scale with skill books, leaving him reliant on rolling low percentages (25-33%) throughout the game rather than reaching reliable, "guaranteed" territory.
Courtier is best suited to early Faction Wars progression teams, where his modest Speed control and buff removal add incremental value rather than serving as a serious Arena, Clan Boss, or Doom Tower pick.
