Flailer is a Rare Defence champion from the Dwarves faction, a Magic affinity brawler who rushes in with a fury of swipes. His one real selling point is single-target Provoke; beyond that, the kit is decidedly underwhelming.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Reliable Provoke: Fury Swipe (A3) attacks one enemy with a 75% base chance to Provoke for 1 turn — guaranteed once fully booked, on a 3-turn booked cooldown. That control has niche value against the Magma Dragon, the Head of Decay, or for pinning down a dangerous wave enemy.
Self-Sustain Buffing: Noble Stand (A2, 2-turn booked cooldown) places a 30% Increase DEF buff on Flailer and the lowest-HP ally for 2 turns while filling his own Turn Meter by 25%, letting him cycle skills a little faster in Faction Wars teams.
Turn Meter Chip: His A1, Tangle Bash, carries a 25% chance to knock 10% off the target's Turn Meter.
Key Weaknesses
Outclassed Everywhere: Every rating he owns sits between 1 and 3 — Arena, Amius, and Iron Twins all bottom out at 1 — and far better Provoke champions exist at every stage of the game. The A1 chip chance is too low to rely on.
Flailer is at best an early-game stopgap for players who need a Provoker before better options arrive, with no long-term home in any content.
