Admiral Blacktusk

Champion Overview

This warrior’s legacy was etched into the ancient walls of the Dwarven empire, immortalized in stone as a symbol of the hero who fell defending Skyiron. Unbeknownst to his descendants, his axe held a sacred gemstone, powerful enough to restore the souls of those deemed worthy in times of great need. As the Dwarven empire faced invasion and his allies fell, Admiral rose once more, wielding the power of unity to lead the charge against the enemies. Admiral Blacktusk stands as the Faction Unity champion of the Dwarves Faction. This stunning dwarf…Pun intended – is all about crowd control, and when paired with up to three fellow Dwarves, he unlocks Unity effects to enhance his skills set. Opening with Captain’s Orders [A2], he removes all debuffs from allies before leading a team attack on a single target. This makes him a strong choice against bosses like Fire Knight , Demon Lord, and Chimera , ensuring negative effects are cleansed while maximizing team damage. His passive further increases his utility by granting allies a chance to counterattack when they lose 10% of their max HP. This makes him especially valuable in Fire Knight, allowing frequent shield reductions even when taking hits. His Stuns come from two sources – his A1, which cannot be resisted when attacking outside his turn, and his A3, which removes buffs from the target while filling his Turn Meter by 50%, plus an additional 10% for each buff removed. The standout feature of his A3 is its two turn duration, providing a strong single target lockout in areas like the Arena while the Turn Meter boost allows him to cycle back to his other skills more quickly. Unlocking the Unity effect takes this ability to the next level, making it irresistible, resetting its cooldown if the Stunned enemy is killed, and enabling allies to deal double damage to his stunned target. Admiral’s passive Unity effects provide valuable team-wide benefits. He fills allies’ Turn Meters by 20% when they place certain crowd control effects, applies Decrease Resistance and Decrease Speed on enemies who attack his team, and starts each round by placing Stone Skin on allies. This synergy helps cycle turns faster, slows down enemies while making it easier to place effects, and provides early survivability in battles like Arena or PVE waves. Additionally, Admiral can be a powerful champion for Siege , especially in posts restricted to Dwarves only teams.
