Rearguard Sergeant is an Epic Force-affinity Defense champion of the Dwarves, a longtime Raid staple who fights with a chained iron mace. Her thesis is classic Clan Boss support: absorbing damage for the team while applying debuffs, even if those debuffs land inconsistently on their own.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Team-Wide Damage Mitigation: Her A3, Fend Them Off, places a 50% Ally Protection buff and a 15% Continuous Heal on every ally except herself for 2 turns, on a cooldown that drops from 5 to 3 turns once booked — one of the strongest forms of damage mitigation available, and a natural fit alongside Stalwart or Defiant gear for her own survivability.
Dual Debuffs: Her A1 carries a 40% chance (50% booked) to apply a 60% Decrease DEF debuff, while her A2, Flail Master, is an AoE with a 50% chance (75% booked) to apply a 50% Decrease ATK debuff and heals her for 25% of the damage dealt.
Key Weaknesses
Inconsistent Debuff Chances: Neither her Decrease ATK nor Decrease DEF debuff reaches a guaranteed rate even when fully booked, so pairing her with other champions that have similar consistency issues, like Toragi the Frog or Hotatsu, is recommended to smooth out the gaps against tough Clan Boss compositions.
Rearguard Sergeant's maxed Clan Boss rating and strong Ice Golem and Spider Den scores make her an excellent pick for traditional sustain-based Clan Boss teams, with both actives sitting on speed-tuning-friendly 3-turn cooldowns once booked.
