Romero is an Epic Force-affinity Defense champion of the Sacred Order, a devoted protector sworn to defend his love, Juliana. His thesis is old-school tank-support hybrid utility, one that benefited significantly from an October 2022 cooldown rework.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Shielding & Self-Buffing: His A3, Divine Benefaction, shields the whole team for 25% of their Max HP while granting himself a 60% Increase DEF buff, on a cooldown reduced to 5 turns (4 when booked) by the October 2022 patch — useful against Borgoth in Doom Tower if paired with another shield source, since his own comes around slower than ideal. His A2, Succor, applies a team-wide Continuous Heal and steals a buff from a random enemy, with its cooldown also dropping from 5 to 3 once booked.
Juliana Synergy: His unique A4, Stalwart Partner, is a triple-hit AoE that only becomes available when Juliana shares his team, rewarding players who run the pair together.
Key Weaknesses
Falls Off Late Game: Despite the cooldown improvements making him a genuinely annoying early-to-mid-game Arena wall, his weak overall damage and utility mean he loses relevance once the game's difficulty scales up.
Romero's decent Dragon and Ice Golem ratings show some lingering value there, but he's best regarded as an early-to-mid-game tank-support rather than a long-term investment.
