What It was Designed For
A defensive Warrior which helps bolster the survivability for it’s team.

What We Got
Extremely high first-turn damage potential with two of the Shield passive’s shield types able to do modest damage + one of the strongest AoE true damage basics in the game. The Fury Increase from his Guard All can make you go from nearly no fury to full in a single turn.

Why This is a Problem
  • One of the best defensive units having one of the most competitive AoE basic attacks makes him too easy and obvious a shoe-in for many teams, even if his shield is countered (Prisoner, Angel of Pain)
  • Guard All makes it possible to have 2nd turn Fury attacks too easily


What We Could Consider Changing
  • Lower damage output of basic attack (so other offensive options are more appealing in offence-oriented teams)
  • Adjust Shield passive so it doesn’t have damaging shields (to better solidify it as a defensive option)
  • Better regulate Increased Fury from Guard All shield (admittedly fury generation right now with this is bugged and needs to be fixed regardless)
