Kro’khad the Throatripper

Legendary · Magic · Attack · Orcs

Kro'khad the Throatripper is a Legendary Magic Attack champion from the Orcs faction, released as the Fragment Fusion of July 2025 as the long-teased hound companion to Packmaster Shy'ek. He brings a damage-focused kit built for Hydra, PvE waves, and Arena pairings alongside his master.

Core Strengths & Abilities

Bypassing Hydra Defenses: His A1, Hound-Tyrant, deals single-target damage to each enemy individually rather than true AoE, ignoring Reflect Damage, Pain Link, and Ally Protection buffs. His A3, Dominant Predator, ignores 50% of the target's DEF along with Life Barrier and Poison Cloud buffs, and repeats the attack if Packmaster Shy'ek is on the team — directly countering Hydra's Head of Decay defensive layer to free digested allies.

Unresistible Debuffs with Packmaster Synergy: His A2, Festering Jaw, is an AoE hit that adds an extra hit against enemies with 2 or more debuffs and has a 75% chance (100% and unresistible when Packmaster Shy'ek is on the team) to place Leech and a 25% Weaken for 2 turns.

Stacking Damage Passive: His passive, Primal Ambition, grants 5% ATK per kill or Hydra head decapitation (up to 25%), doubling to 10% per stack (up to 50%) with Packmaster Shy'ek present, and instantly triggers Dominant Predator against a Hydra head that consumes an ally.

Key Weaknesses

Packmaster Dependency: Nearly every standout effect — unresistible debuffs, repeated A3 hits, doubled ATK stacking — requires Packmaster Shy'ek on the team, leaving him noticeably weaker solo.

Iron Twins Ceiling: His kit is tuned around Hydra head mechanics and wave clearing, so his value against single hard-hitting bosses like Iron Twins is comparatively lower.

Kro'khad is a premier Hydra pick and a strong all-around PvE and Arena damage dealer, reaching his full potential when paired with Packmaster Shy'ek.
