Graybeard is a Rare Magic Defence champion from the Skinwalkers, valued as one of the strongest control-oriented rares in Raid. His kit pairs a single-target Provoke with an AoE Freeze, making him a reliable lockdown option in Doom Tower and Faction Wars.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Single-Target Lockdown: His A1, Expose Weakness, has a 50% (70% booked) chance to place a 1-turn Provoke, which is especially valuable for holding down dangerous single enemies like the Magma Dragon in Doom Tower's Kuldath encounter.
AoE Freeze & Self-Sustain: His A2, Ice Crush, hits all enemies with a 25% (40% booked) chance per target of a 1-turn Freeze, with damage scaling off his own DEF. His A3, Bring It On!, backs this up with an unremovable Shield (proportional to DEF) and an 80% (100% booked) chance of a 2-turn Counterattack, letting him tank while contributing to crowd control.
Key Weaknesses
Modest Control Odds: Even fully booked, his Freeze chance tops out at 40% per enemy, so his AoE lockdown is inconsistent rather than guaranteed — he holds a room together rather than shutting it down outright.
Graybeard fits best in high-level Dungeons, Faction Wars, and Doom Tower secret rooms, where his Provoke-and-Freeze combination provides just enough control to get teams through tough encounters.
