Gnishak Verminlord arrived as the 2022 Christmas Fusion Champion, a Legendary Force Attack champion from the Skinwalkers faction. His thesis: a bomb-and-poison specialist that deals bonus damage to high-HP targets and locks debuff slots with protected poisons.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Bomb Detonation and Extra Turns: His A3, Unclean Banquet, hits all enemies with a 75% (100% booked) chance to place 2 Bomb debuffs per target for 2 turns, then grants him an Extra Turn, on a 4-turn cooldown once booked. Bombs from this skill deal double damage against enemies with 200,000+ Max HP, which covers nearly every boss and higher-stage wave enemy.
Cooldown Manipulation: His A2, Verminlord's Command, hits all enemies with a 75% (100% booked) chance to place a 50% Decrease ATK debuff for 2 turns, while also reducing Bomb detonation countdowns by 1 turn and extending Poison durations by 1 turn, ensuring bombs explode reliably on the enemy's next turn.
Protected Poison Passive: His passive, Rat Plague, places two 5% Poison debuffs whenever one of his Bombs detonates or is removed, and these poisons cannot be cleansed, stacking persistent damage over time.
Key Weaknesses
Debuff Slot Congestion: Because his kit continually extends and reapplies Poison alongside Bomb and Decrease ATK, it's easy to hit the 10-debuff cap on a single target, potentially crowding out other champions' effects.
Gnishak excels at soloing high-stage Dungeons like Dragon 25 and Ice Golem 25, and rates highly across Arena, Clan Boss, and general progression thanks to his bomb-poison synergy.
