Exemplar is an Epic Void Attack champion from the High Elves faction who received new mechanics in the Patch 4.20 Void Rebalance, opening up a narrow but genuine niche against specific Doom Tower and Fire Knight encounters despite remaining largely unremarkable elsewhere.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Skill Lockout via Weaken: Her A1, High Stance, hits twice and can put one of the target's skills on full cooldown when the first hit crits and the target is already under Weaken — a mechanic that makes her a viable option against Iragoth, The Eternal Dragon, where locking down key abilities matters.
Weaken and Freeze Utility: Her A2, Pincer Attack, strikes 3 random hits with a 75% chance (100% booked) to apply 25% Weaken for 2 turns each, and sits on a short 4-turn cooldown (2 booked), making her a reasonably fast source of Weaken for Clan Boss or Fire Knight teams. Her A3, Capture, has a 75% chance (100% booked) to place Freeze for 1 turn and Block Active Skills for 2 turns on a single enemy.
Key Weaknesses
Narrow Application: Outside of the Iragoth encounter and occasional Fire Knight or Clan Boss Weaken support, her kit doesn't translate into general dungeon or PvP value, reflected in her low Hydra (4), Iron Twins (4), and Spider (2) ratings.
Exemplar is best reserved as a situational pick for Doom Tower's Iragoth fight and secondary Weaken support in Fire Knight or Clan Boss, rather than a champion worth broad investment.
