Provoke tank: A2 75% AoE Provoke (1 turn) + self Counterattack (books to 3-turn CD), A1 stacks +4% DEF per use (to 20%), passive 25% chance to halve incoming damage per hit. 30% DEF aura in Arena.

+30% Ally DEF aura in Arena. HH rates his FW control 5/5 — first real control body for Dwarves FW besides Geomancer/Hilda. FK downgraded 4→1 (2026-07-17 audit): HH rates FK 1/5, Ayumi 2/5 — his Counterattack is SELF-only and his A1 is single-hit, so counters add just 1 shield hit each.

StatsACC › SPD › HP% › DEF%

BuildACC so the AoE Provoke sticks — that's the whole kit; Dwarves crypt-21 debuffer standard is ~250 ACC (200 carries mid-crypt). Reflex/Impulse shave the A2 cooldown so Provoke + Counterattack approach permanent uptime. DEF is partially self-solving (A1 stacks +4% DEF to +20%, 30% DEF arena aura), so weight HP% over DEF% in substats. Immunity/Stoneskin for the PvP variant. Cooldown books (A2 4→3) before gear.

Skill floorA2 Chest Thump fully booked is the floor — chance books take the AoE Provoke 75→100% and the level-5 Cooldown −1 takes it 4→3 turns; with the Counterattack buff lasting 2 turns that's near-lockdown, which is the whole Dwarves-crypt seat (4 epic tomes, and the CD book is last so book it all the way). Passive Iron Hide chance books (25→50%) are the nice-to-have tank upgrade.
