Kyoku

Legendary · Spirit · Defence · Shadowkin

Kyoku joined the Shadowkin royal guard as part of Patch 4.90, a Legendary Spirit Defence champion tasked with protecting her faction. She stands as a top-tier protector who combines long Ally Protection uptime, self-preservation, and powerful crit-triggered team healing.

Core Strengths & Abilities

Near-Permanent Protection: Her A2, Kyoku's Horde, places a 50% Ally Protection buff on all other allies for 2 turns and a Block Damage buff on herself for 3 turns, then grants an Extra Turn, on a 5-turn cooldown reduced to 4 once booked. Because she's fully shielded from damage while protecting the team, she's one of the safest protectors available.

Crit-Triggered Team Sustain: Her passive, Wellspring, heals all allies for 15% of Max HP and grants a 60% Increase DEF buff for 2 turns every time Kyoku or an ally lands a critical hit, on a cooldown reduced to 4 once booked, giving her constant team sustain in crit-heavy comps.

Scaling Damage & Debuffs: Her A1 hits 3 times if the target carries 3 or more debuffs, each hit with a 40% chance (50% booked) of a 25% Weaken. Her A2 also carries an 80% chance (100% booked) of Decrease ATK, spilling into HP Burn on enemies that resist it.

Key Weaknesses

Setup-Dependent HP Burn: Her A2's HP Burn effect only triggers on enemies that resist the Decrease ATK debuff, making it inconsistent rather than a reliable core mechanic.

With top ratings across Clan Boss, Hydra, Ice Golem, and Spider, Kyoku is an outstanding protector and sustain engine for nearly all endgame PvE content.
