Oathbound is an Epic Force Defense champion from the Bannerlords faction, a once-forgettable champion transformed into a genuine asset by a September 2020 buff. His kit combines AoE attack and speed reduction with a partial skill-lockout tool.
Core Strengths & Abilities
AoE Attack & Speed Control: Subjugate (A2) hits all enemies with a 75% chance to apply a 50% Decrease ATK debuff and a separate 55% chance to cut each Turn Meter by 20%, giving him solid wave-wide mitigation and tempo disruption in one skill.
Skill Blocking: Intimidate (A3) strikes 4 times at random with a 30% chance per hit to apply Block Active Skills, jumping to a guaranteed 100% against any target already suffering Decrease ATK, though its random targeting limits reliability against a single chosen enemy.
Key Weaknesses
Random Targeting on His Control Skill: Intimidate's 4 random hits mean he can't guarantee Block Active Skills lands on a specific priority target, making him less consistent than dedicated single-target lockdown options.
Strong Dragon, Ice Golem, and Spider ratings support his reputation as a Faction Wars staple, particularly for Bannerlords teams clearing level 21, with solid secondary value applying crowd control in Ice Golem.
