Toxin Trickery has her take a swig from a green flask that not only cures Bleed and Blight while boosting her Dodge and Speed for the rest of the battle. She also possess a high dodge rating to avoid damage, at the cost of her below average health and her regular damage being subpar. Her skillset is versatile enough to fit in most ranks without issue comfortably. The Grave Robber is a fast DPS-based hero with a focus on crits. If you really want to see the Big Numbers TM, Greater Gnarly Knuckles coupled with Grim Mask will maximize Chop’s potency." To those with keen eye. He can easily shrug off side effects that would be inflicted on other Heroes resisted Vulnerable Tokens won’t chip away at his supply of Block Tokens, after all.Ĭonsider kitting the Leper out with Silent Treatment or Greater Protectorate to push his Debuff resist to unprecedented levels. The high Debuff resistance, coupled with easy access to Block Tokens, means that the Leper can still perform as a respectable tank in spite of reduced HP. The Tempest Path’s Debuff resist means that, in addition to Chop, you may be able to spam skills like Hew or Break without going Blind, particularly when stacked with Reflection+ for a whopping 73% base resistance. It will not, however, protect him from Intimidate’s Taunt Tokens.

The massive Disease resist buff renders the Leper all but immune and the 33% increase in Debuff resist helps protect him from Weak Tokens (keeping his damage up), Vulnerable Tokens (keeping his lower HP pool safe), and Blind Tokens (keeping his hits landing).ĭid You Know: Debuff resistance helps the Leper resist his own self-inflicted Blinds. In addition to being able to score much larger hits at the top end, this raises the minimum damage of the skill to a much better value – those of you who always roll minimum will appreciate this. The Tempest Leper sacrifices HP and Speed in favor of raw damage via the Chop skill. Even though there is a decrease in the Leper’s Max HP and SPD, the higher damage allows him to dispatch enemies quickly.

The Tempest Path enrages the Leper, greatly increasing his Damage as well as giving him a higher debuff and disease resistance. As his attacks are frequently at risk of missing, the Enlightening Element and Calibrating Censer can offer excellent bonuses in the event of a failed attack. If you’d rather focus on the Leper’s damage role, the Greater Gnarly Knuckles will undo the Path’s inherent damage penalty. Stacking the Greater Hale Draught and Hag’s Hoard will drive the Leper’s HP up while the Reverberating Redoubt can turn the many hits he’s weathering into additional actions of his own. Similarly, there’s no need for additional Move or Stun resistances. The strength of Solemnity means you can easily forgo healing Trinkets. Pairing those with Ruin will allow the Leper to overcome the Path’s damage debuff, or you can lean into the reduced damage role and use support skills to set up your more offensively minded Heroes Bash primes well for a Hellion’s Wicked Hack, or Purge can set the Highwayman up for a Pistol Shot Stun. Liberal use of Withstand and Intimidate will keep the Leper under fire, protecting the rest of the team while he soaks up the damage.

While the buff to healing won’t affect his combat consumables, it turns Solemnity+ into a full self heal and allows him to recover from the brink of death with ease. Rendered all but invulnerable to Stun, Daze, and movement skills, the Leper can easily maintain his position in the front ranks.
