Grunch Killjoy

Epic · Force · Support · Ogryn Tribes

Grunch Killjoy is an Epic Force Support champion from the Ogryn Tribes, added during Raid's Christmas 2020 event. He's really about full-team debuff cleansing wrapped around a Bomb-detonation gimmick, rather than being a premier support pick.

Core Strengths & Abilities

Full Team Cleanse & Healing: His A3, Hex Eater, removes all debuffs from all allies on a 4-turn cooldown (booked) and places a 15% Continuous Heal for 1 turn on each ally for every debuff removed — strong value in debuff-heavy fights like Nether Spider, and usable even unbooked if not needed every cooldown.

Bomb Synergy: His A2, Kindle Soulfire, is an AoE with a 70% booked chance to place a Bomb debuff that detonates after one turn, and his passive fills all allies' Turn Meters by 10% whenever a Bomb detonates on an enemy — useful for Faction Wars Hard Stage 11, which requires kills via Bomb debuffs.

Key Weaknesses

Heavy Book Investment: Reaching his effective booked chances requires roughly 18 tomes across his kit, and most of his value is concentrated in a single skill (A3), making him an expensive champion for the payoff.

Grunch is mainly a progression-tier pick for Faction Wars Bomb requirements and situational full-team cleanse needs, with little late-game relevance elsewhere.
