Gnut is a Legendary Spirit Defence champion from the Dwarves faction, joining as a fusion tied to his appearance in Call of the Arbiter episode 7. He's a rare hybrid of Turn Meter control, tanky counterattacking, and self-sustaining damage.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Turn Meter Control and Freeze: His A1, Dwarven Might, hits a single enemy 3 times, each hit carrying an 80% (100% booked) chance to reduce their Turn Meter by 15%, or place a Freeze debuff for 1 turn instead if the target is immune to Turn Meter reduction. This makes him valuable against Turn Meter-immune bosses like Fire Knight, functioning as a Legendary answer in a similar niche to Alure.
AoE Debuffs with Counterattack: His A2, Fury of the King, hits all enemies with a 75% (100% booked) chance to place both a 50% Decrease ATK and a 25% Weaken debuff for 2 turns, while also granting himself a Counterattack buff. His passive doubles his counterattack damage to 100% instead of 75%, turning him into a genuine mischief tank.
Self-Healing Defense Shred: His A3, Blessed Bash, hits a single enemy 3 times, each hit stacking a 3% Decrease DEF debuff (up to 30%) while healing him for 30% of the damage dealt, letting his damage scale off his own DEF and the target's Max HP.
Key Weaknesses
Arena Underperformance: Despite excelling almost everywhere else, his Arena rating lags well behind his other content ratings, reflecting a kit built more for sustained PvE control than burst PvP value.
With top ratings across Clan Boss, Hydra, Dragon, Fire Knight, Ice Golem, Iron Twins, Spider, Chimera, and Amius, Gnut is a premier all-around Dungeon and endgame Clan Boss champion.
