Kael Early Game Guide
This is a universal build for starters with a focus on campaign. Works well for the majority of players. Suitable for all areas of the game including the clan boss. Kael is worth 6 starring, ascending, booking. You can also buy his masteries with gems to accelerate progress.
Deliana Aura is 33% HP in All Battles. This also factors into her Passive. She has 20k base health, 33% of that is 6756 Health and 2 accuracy per 1,000 gives her another 12 Accuracy. AOE leech on A1 allows you superior wave clear and healing for the whole team. Decrease Resistance on A2 can allow you to lower the Accuracy requirements for the team a bit. A3 is excellent not only due to Block Buffs but also because it can heal your team.
Offensive Tree
- Heart of Glory – 5% extra DMG when Full HP, easier waveclear, better One-Hit potential.
- Whirlwind of Death – 6 flat increased Speed for each killed enemy, Double Turn potential due to leaping the mobs.
- Ruthless Ambush – 8% extra Dmg on first Hit, better One-Hit potential.
- Cycle of Violence – 30% Chance of reducing 1 Skill cooldown by 1 turn after dealing 30% max HP dmg to an Enemy, Key Mastery, quicker recharge time = quicker Clear Time, also saver since more DMG output -> more self healing.
- Wraith of the Slain – Great DMG increase for Campaign Farmer. Most food dies to One-Hit on Brutal 12/3, so its a free 10% DMG Increase, also more DMG = more self healing.
- Kill Streak – 12% DMG Increase after clearing the first wave, better Damage output, great Synergy with t3 mastery Whirlwind of Death.
- Blood Shield – 15% Max HP Shield, Insane sustain, almost each round active
Tier6 is not needed! Since Kael can solo Clear almost everything at level 50 (5 Star Ascension).
Defensive Tree
- Defiant – Helps on 12/3 against Lord Shazar Bombs (High threat) and Debuffs, Campaign Champs have either 10 or 0 accuracy.
- Rejuvenation – Great synergy with LS Set and Offensive T5 Mastery Blood Shield, added sustain and survivability.
- Bloodthirst – 10% Max HP Heal after killing an enemy (EVERY round after killing an enemy), great survivability.
- Stubbornness – added Resist, additional survivability against 12/3, 10/7 and 9/7 bosses.
- Retribution – Counterattack chance on loss of 1/4 of the HP for more survivability and DMG
Gear & Stats Build
Free 2 Play Gear is sufficient to replicate this build! 4 pieces Lifesteal-Set are essential (after Login in for 4 days in a row). LS-Login Rewards right now ALWAYS have the same Main-stats and similar substats. 2 piece of Resistance Set are recommended (Mostly for 12/3 Brutal) – Can be replaced with ANYTHING else.
Note that on 12-3 most of the mobs are Spirit affinity. All starters are Magic affinity and have an extra 15% to deal a critical hit to monsters. Furthermore, each starter has a built in extra 15% chance for a critial hit on their AOE attack. This means that on 12-3 you want a minimum of 70% crit chance for optimal results.
- 4 Star Helm: Flat HP
- 4 Star Gloves: Mainstat – Crit% (most important piece)
- 4 Star Chest: Mainstat – Attack% (good for early, quicker clear)
- 4 Star Boots: Mainstat – Speed
- 2-3 Star Weapon – Res piece
- 2-3 Star Shield – Res piece
Kael Late Game Arena Build
In case you are missing the best meta attackers on Arena, e.g. Trunda, Foli, Skullcrown and others you can still use starter champions to take care of the damage dealer role in their stead.
Masteries
The following masteries are best for the arena. The main focus is on critical hits and damage as well as some survivability. Everything is focused on one goal in this build – dealing the maximum amount of reliable damage. Note that the mastery shield breaker wasn’t taken because there is a buff stripping hero in this Arena composition. Furthermore, opportunist synergizes with the sleep debuff from Kymar.
Gear & Stats Build
Equipment is the key to make this build work on arena. You want enough attack, critical rate, damage and speed for Kael to work as a damage dealer that is not interrupted.
Recommended Main Stats
- Gloves – Critical damage
- Chest – Attack%
- Boots – Speed
- Ring – Attack
- Necklace – Critical damage
- Banner – Attack
