Metalshaper is a Rare Support champion from the Lizardmen faction, a fortified swamp-dweller whose shielding kit finds real use against specific boss mechanics. He is a niche pick built primarily around The Scarab King and Faction Wars progression.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Frequent Shielding: Fortified Steel (A2) places a Shield on all allies on a short cooldown that drops to 2 turns once booked, letting a speed-tuned Metalshaper consistently counter The Scarab King's counterattack-triggering passive.
Single-Target Rescue: Rescue (A3) cleanses all debuffs from the lowest-HP ally, heals them for 20% of his own MAX HP, and grants a 25% Increase DEF buff, useful for keeping mitigation-focused champions alive in Spider or Nether Spider progression.
Key Weaknesses
Weak Buff Theft: His basic attack's chance to steal a random buff sits at only 30%, making it unreliable as a dedicated buff-stripping tool against targets like the Magic Keep's large shields.
His ratings stay generally low outside a specific Scarab King and Faction Wars niche, marking him as a specialist pick rather than a broadly useful support.
