The Fight▾

Nuke-forward with a real CC anchor now: Gliseah freezes whole waves (AoE 75% Freeze + Block Debuffs + ally TM fill) while He-Man and Athel clear, Lightsworn (6★) tanks and drops Dec ATK. Lady Etessa's single-target stun is the backup pin.

Levers

›No Dec DEF exists in this faction roster (verified champion-by-champion) — the damage-amp substitutes are Weaken: Athel's A1 (75%, 25%) and Gliseah's A2 (guaranteed AoE 25% alongside the steal-all-buffs). Gear damage hard and rely on Lightsworn's mitigation + Gliseah's freeze uptime.
›Gliseah supersedes Lady Etessa as primary CC — Etessa keeps the 5th seat as the backup stun (needs ~150 ACC); Bushi (FW 3★, zero debuffs) rotates to the bench.
›Gliseah needs ACC here too (~250 for crypt 21, the account FW debuffer floor) — her A3 Freeze is 75% BASE and books to 100% (plus CD 5→4): fully booked she is a guaranteed mass Freeze, ACC permitting. The old note had this backwards.
›July 2026 bench depth, all sustain the crypt was short on: ROMERO (team Shield worth 25% of each ALLY's MAX HP + AoE Continuous Heal + a buff steal from every enemy — Ayumi 5★ arena, FW 4★), LODRIC FALCONHEART (team Shield off HIS MAX HP + a single-ally cleanse with 50% Ally Protection), MISSIONARY (a −50% TM cut with 100% Heal Reduction and 30% Dec SPD attached — HH rates him 4/5 for FW TM manipulation, the role this lineup covers worst) and ADRIEL (HH FW Dec ATK 5/5 + a team heal). None displaces a current seat yet, but Romero or Lodric is the first swap the moment Lightsworn is needed elsewhere. Relickeeper and Tallia round out the bench as damage bodies — Relickeeper chains Extra Turns on kills (a wave-clear filler that needs zero ACC) and Tallia self-buffs ATK/C.RATE before an AoE, but He-Man, Athel and Gliseah already own the damage seats and neither new body brings a debuff the crypt lacks.
›SEAT-ROLE INVERSION FLAGGED 2026-09-01: Lady Etessa holds the fifth seat labelled 'Control' as the backup stun, after Gliseah superseded her as primary CC. Fresh HellHades FW-role data now scores her BELOW 3 on fw_cc and AT OR ABOVE 3 on sustain — the inverse of her seat label. Given this record already demoted her once, this is the seat to re-derive first here. No new champion arrived in this faction in the 2026-08-31 intake.
›RE-AUDITED 2026-09-01 against fresh HellHades ratings and FW-role data: ZERO seat changes. Faction Wars is faction-locked and the 2026-08-31 intake (The Cowardly Lion, Armanz, Artak, Starsage Galathir, Frolni, Dorothy Gale, Khamir Scald-Eye) placed champions in only seven factions — Barbarians, Skinwalkers, Dwarves, High Elves, Banner Lords, Orcs and Ogryn Tribes. This crypt receives nothing from it, and every seat re-derived unchanged.
