Nogoryo is an Epic Magic champion from the Shadowkin faction, joining his brother Genbo the Dishonoured as part of an August 2022 mini-fusion event. He's a straightforward damage dealer whose kit revolves around sustaining his own Increase ATK buff.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Self-Sustaining Damage Buff: His passive, Murderer's Lust, grants an unremovable 50% Increase ATK buff whenever an enemy's HP drops below 30%, and that buff powers extra hits on his basic attack, buff-stealing on Abduct by Night, and a shortened cooldown on his AoE, Faster than the Eye.
Buff Theft & Lockdown: Abduct by Night (A2) applies Block Buffs and steals all buffs from its target whenever Nogoryo is under his Increase ATK buff, adding some utility alongside his damage focus, though it requires Accuracy investment to land reliably.
Key Weaknesses
Outclassed by His Brother: Compared to Genbo, Nogoryo lacks Unkillable-ignoring utility, Block Revive, and any secondary AoE, leaving him as the harder-hitting but less versatile of the two.
Strong Arena and Fire Knight ratings mark Nogoryo as a viable early-to-mid Arena nuker and a useful Faction Wars damage dealer, though he tops out around mid Gold 5 in competitive Arena.
