Grandmaster is a Rare HP champion of the Bannerlords faction, a single-target attacker with a thin kit and little to distinguish him. His thesis: a champion best used as fodder rather than developed.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Basic Multi-Hit: Hammerblows (A1) attacks a single enemy 3 times, giving him decent basic-attack Turn Meter generation potential, though it carries no attached effects.
Weak Debuffing: Steel Crusher (A2) has a 40% chance to place a 25% Decrease Attack debuff for 2 turns on a single enemy, on a 4-turn cooldown, while Demoralizing Display (A3) has a 50% chance to Provoke a single target for 1 turn, on the same cooldown — both debuffs are single target and their base chances don't improve when booked (40% and 50% respectively, per the data), making them unreliable.
Key Weaknesses
Low, Unbooked Debuff Chances: Unlike most champions whose debuff chances rise toward guaranteed with books, Grandmaster's Decrease Attack and Provoke chances stay at their base 40% and 50% even fully booked, making him unreliable as a control piece.
Weak Across the Board: His ratings are uniformly low (mostly 1-4/10 across all content), reflecting a kit that offers nothing competitive compared to other Decrease Attack or Provoke options.
Grandmaster has little competitive use anywhere in the current roster meta and is best leveled only for Silver/food value rather than genuine investment.
