Steadfast Marshal is a Rare Void HP champion of the Bannerlords, who grew up competing with Warcaster to become the faction's strongest protector and came up noticeably short. His kit offers only modest self-defense and situational Provoke.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Extra Turn Defense Buff: His A2, Hold Fast, grants himself a 60% Increase DEF buff for 2 turns and an immediate extra turn, giving him a quick way to bolster his own survivability and act again.
Conditional Provoke: His A1, Thunderous Whallop, has a 50% chance (75% booked) to place a 1-turn Provoke debuff if the target's max HP is lower than his own, offering some control against weaker enemies like the Magma Dragon in Doom Tower.
Key Weaknesses
Weak Veil Buff: His A3 only applies the standard Veil, reducing AoE damage taken by just 7.5%, far below the 15% reduction that Perfect Veil provides on stronger champions.
Outclassed Almost Everywhere: With ratings of 1-3 across nearly all content, including a 1 in Amius, Chimera, and Iron Twins, Steadfast Marshal offers little that other champions don't do better.
Steadfast Marshal is only worth considering for players lacking better options to manage the Magma Dragon or similar Doom Tower encounters, and isn't recommended for wider investment.
