Spider's Den — Skavag

Swaps

• Armanz the MagnificentM

  HIS BEST DUNGEON, and unusually the rating survives scrutiny (audit 2026-09-01). Fresh HH 10/10 Spider normal, 8/10 hard. His A2 Greatest Hits steals ALL Turn Meter from every target and Stuns everyone not under Sheep — against a ten-spiderling swarm that is real mass control, even though the Stun and Sheep are dead on Skavag herself and his A1 cooldown-push is blocked by her immunity. Worth a proper seat evaluation once he is 6★; he is 5★ (queue #2) and needs ACC on every line of his kit.

• The Cowardly LionM

  BENCH, WITH ONE REAL USE (audit 2026-09-01). HellHades gives him 9/10 but Skavag is fully CC-immune with Fear and True Fear named explicitly, so A2's True Fear, A1's Fear-stacking damage bonus and his True Courage passive are all dead — the same disqualification as Clan Boss and Dragon. UNLIKE those fights, he is not worthless here: A3 Strength in the Pack puts [Counterattack] on the whole team, and against an endless spiderling swarm that is a genuine extra-hit engine. Suggested rating: 4, with the Fear caveat recorded. 5★.

• ArtakM

  THE BIGGEST SPIDER UPGRADE THE ACCOUNT CAN BUILD (audit 2026-09-01). Fresh HH 10/10 Spider AND 10/10 Spider Hard. This dungeon's win condition is HP Burn on the SWARM — a burn ticks when its owner takes a turn and hits every enemy for 3% of their own MAX HP — and Artak is the only champion owned who does not have to wait for those turns: A2 Dogs Of War instantly ACTIVATES every HP Burn on the enemy team, so a fully burning swarm detonates in a single press. He also plants the burns (A3, 75% AoE, CD 4), extends them (A1, 35%), and lands a 75% AoE 50% Decrease ATK on the same A2. Burn ticks are NOT capped by the stage 21-25 enemy-MAX-HP cap, so this scales into the hardest stages. HE ALSO FIXES THE COMP'S INTERNAL CONFLICT: every Freeze delays a burning ling's turn and therefore its tick, so control and damage currently fight each other — detonation removes that dependency. 5★, queue #3. DO NOT pair with Khamir Scald-Eye in any comp.

• MorrigaineM

  First swap in on the Spirit stage-20/24 wall, where her Magic body is the only strong-affinity attacker this roster can field against a four-Force main five. HH 9/10 (higher than Katonn's 7/10) — she sits out of the main five on role, not quality: Geomancer's full TM depletion already denies devour, and with no burn engine the fifth non-sustain seat has to be AoE damage + shred. A3 Velocimancy (CD 5): 75% AoE −20% enemy TM + 20% ally TM fill + 30% Inc SPD; A2 Shriek converts to a 50% Dec ACC on a boss target (real: it mutes Enfeeble's TM drain). Her Heal-Red passive is blank here — Skavag is immune. Aura +19% Ally SPD in all battles.

• Stag KnightS

  The Katonn seat's closest challenger, and ahead of him on HH (8/10 vs 7/10): A2 Huntmaster is a 70% chance of BOTH a 60% Dec DEF and a 50% Dec ATK on CD 4 — nearly double Katonn's unbooked 45% shred chance, with mitigation attached, and Epic tomes (pool #10, 'book-now') are cheaper than Katonn's Legendary ones. Loses the seat only on wave clear: his A1 is single-target where Katonn's is a free AoE every turn. Passive grants an ally 50% Inc ACC whenever their debuff is resisted. Ayumi Spider 4★. 6★ already.

• JintoroM

  NEW 2026-08-14 intake, and the strongest future answer to the Katonn seat — HH 10/10 Spider, tied for the highest score on the roster. Ayumilove-verified kit: A1 Soul Drinker grants an EXTRA TURN on a kill, which on a ten-body spiderling swarm chains turns the way no other owned body can; A2 Blood Freeze steals 100% of the target's Turn Meter (a third devour lock beside Geomancer and Maneater) and, against a TM-immune target, cuts A3's cooldown instead; A3 Oni's Rage lands 60% Dec DEF + 25% Weaken on CD 4 and hits FIVE times on every fourth use against the same target — the exact shred package Katonn only reaches with ~3 Legendary tomes. Passive Vigorous amplifies every Turn Meter fill he receives by 50%, which stacks with Gliseah's A3 fill. Aura +29% Ally ATK in all battles. Two caveats: his A2 TM steal is halved against the boss on stages 21–25, and his kill-chaining removes the bodies that tick burns, so he belongs to the hit-damage plan, not the Ideal burn comp. 5★, queue #11 — promote him and the Katonn seat resolves itself.

• Keberon the UnderflameF

  SEATED IN TEAM NOW (audit 2026-09-01) — see his slot. 6★ BUILT as of 2026-08-26; the record previously carried him at 5★, queue #6, as the highest-impact promotion for this dungeon. That promotion has happened, he has left the build queue, and he took Suzerain Katonn's seat. HH 10/10 Spider — tied for the highest score on the roster.

• SpiderF

  OUT of Team Ideal in the 2026-08-14 audit, replaced by Keberon — not a downgrade of the champion, a fit call. His two contributions to a burn comp are the +25% Ally SPD dungeon aura and AoE Dec DEF, but burn ticks are fixed % MAX HP and Dec DEF does nothing for them, while the Ideal's recorded cost of dropping Gwyndolin was the ACC wall — which Keberon's 50% Inc ACC covers directly. Still the pick when the plan is hit damage and the team needs tempo: A3 60% chance of AoE 60% Dec DEF (100% booked), A2 50% chance of AoE 50% Dec ATK, A1 snipes a single buff. HH 9/10. 4★ and still not in the 6★ queue at all.

• Stonebound ThisbeS

  NEW 2026-08-14 intake — HH 7/10 Spider, but the relevant number is her aura: +40 Ally ACC in ALL battles, the second-largest owned behind Gwyndolin's +60. That is the one thing that could let the Ideal burn comp keep its ACC without a Gwyndolin seat if Keberon is parked. A2 lands AoE [Hex] + [Block Buffs] at 75%, A3 cuts a turn off every ally debuff, heals the team 15% MAX HP (MAX-HP-based, so tax-proof here) and fills all ally Turn Meters 20%, and her passive gives every ally +10% damage into enemies carrying HER debuffs. 4★, queue #15.

• SiegehulkM

  NEW 2026-08-14 intake — HH 8/10 Spider: A2 Thrashing Fit self-buffs 50% ATK then hits every enemy with a 75% chance of 60% Decrease DEF, which is a more reliable shred than Katonn's unbooked 45% on a cheaper body, and his A1 cuts 15% Turn Meter off anything already slowed or shredded. Behind Stag Knight and Jintoro for the seat and not in the 6★ queue — his intake verdict routes him to the Ogryn Tribes crypt.

• Searsha the CharredF

  Burn engine #1 and a Team Ideal seat. HH 10/10 Spider AND 10/10 Spider Hard. A2 Forest Fire (CD 3) strips all buffs and applies AoE HP Burn at 80% (100% booked) WITHOUT attacking; her Stoked passive gives allies +10% damage vs burning enemies and heals the team when burning enemies attack her; A3 Blazing Panic now carries the 60% Dec DEF post-v11.65.0. Queue #18 — the lowest-ranked of the three burn engines despite being engine #1, worth revisiting.

• Crypt-King GraalM

  Burn engine #2 and a Team Ideal seat. HH 10/10 Spider and 10/10 Spider Hard. A2 Death Fires (CD 4) attacks all enemies with a 75% chance of HP Burn for 2 turns; A3 Elemental Unity (CD 4) attacks all enemies, Freezes every target already burning, and EXTENDS all HP Burns to 3 turns — and Ayumilove's page now states verbatim that this effect CANNOT BE RESISTED (the earlier 'unverified' caveat is resolved in his favour). A1 lands 50% Dec ATK at 60%, 100% against burning or frozen targets. Aura +33% Ally HP in all battles — the Ideal's leader. Tension to run manually: his A3 freeze delays a burning ling's turn, and a delayed turn is a delayed tick; the 3-turn extension on the same cast roughly pays for it. Queue #12.

• ManeaterV

  HH 10/10 Spider and the IDEAL's Unkillable seat over Paragon. A3 Ancient Blood puts [Unkillable] and [Block Debuffs] on the WHOLE team for 2 turns: heal-tax-proof sustain for five champions instead of Paragon's self/ally, and the Block Debuffs half blanks the Sleep rider on Enfeeble. A2 Syphon fully depletes Skavag's TM into his own — a second devour lock. A1 lands AoE 50% Dec ATK on any crit. Costs 5% of his MAX HP per living ally per cast, and the 35% damage-based-healing tax makes that slow to recover, so build HP and skip Lifesteal. A3's two Cooldown −1 books (7→5) are mandatory. CONTESTED: he is also the backup Clan Boss anchor (queue #4) — one build, two claims.

• ColdheartV

  THREE copies — HH 10/10 Spider and the enemy-MAX-HP archetype the levers named as the roster's gap since July. A3 Heartseeker fully depletes Skavag's Turn Meter (devour denial), carries +30% extra crit chance and scales its damage off the ENEMY's MAX HP, so it kills bosses regardless of gear quality; CD 5, books to 4. A2 Art of Pain is her only AoE and its 50% Dec ACC is a 30% roll for 1 turn. Her A1 Heal Reduction is DEAD here: Skavag is immune. Rare, so the cheapest 6★ on the account. Scope limit: stages 21–25 cap MAX-HP skill damage at 10%/hit AND halve boss TM reduction, nerfing both of her strengths — she is the stage-20 farm card, not the 21–25 plan. Paper HP/DEF; seat her behind the freeze. Queue #5.

• Royal GuardM

  The enemy-MAX-HP archetype Ayumilove's Spider guide names by name alongside Coldheart for stages 15–20. A2 Takedown (CD 4) attacks ALL enemies for 2 ATK + 0.1 ENEMY MAX HP — one-shots spiderlings and chunks Skavag in the same cast. A3 hits 4× at random, each hit a 60% chance of 30% Dec SPD and a 60% chance of −25% TM. Aura: +35% Ally ATK in Dungeons. HH 9/10 Spider, 9/10 Spider Hard. Caveat for a burn comp: mass-killing lings removes the bodies that tick the burns — he is the MAX-HP-nuke plan, not an add-on to the burn plan. 6★ BUILT.

• Ursala the MournerV

  HH 9/10 Spider. Full-team revive with 50% Turn Meter plus 60% Inc DEF and Strengthen, on a 6-turn cooldown (5 booked), and her A2 pairs AoE 50% Dec ATK with a team Inc ATK. The revive is genuine insurance on a fight that punishes one bad Enfeeble, and none of her healing is damage-based. Behind the seated bodies only on build state (4★, queue #13).

• DemythaV

  HH 9/10 Spider. A3 gives the whole team [Block Damage] for 1 turn plus a 15% Continuous Heal, and her A2 extends ally buffs, cuts ally debuff durations and heals — none of it damage-based, so the 35% heal tax does not touch it. A real alternative to Rector Drath in the sustain seat. Held out of every Spider card because her build is claimed by the Clan Boss unkillable comp — she is 6★ BUILT and seated there — and Block Damage on a 3-turn cycle is worth far more inside a tune than on auto here.

• Miscreated MonsterM

  HH 10/10 Spider (Ayumi 4★): A2 AoE Stuns the swarm at 50% AND shields the whole team for 25% of the damage dealt, which is real mitigation against ling chip that damage-based healing only covers at 35% here. HP-scaled, so he survives the bites. 4★, queue #16.

• PsylarV

  HH 9/10 Spider. Her A2 Toxic Cloud is the RELIABLE version of the 'Dec ACC mutes spiderling poison chip' lever: AoE 50% Decrease ACC at 80% for 2 turns, where Coldheart's equivalent is a 30% roll for 1. HARD CAVEAT for the burn plan: her A3 cuts 40% Turn Meter off ALL enemies including the spiderlings, and on stages 21–25 the lings must TAKE TURNS to tick the burns — she actively fights the win condition there. Use her on stage 20 and below, or not at all.

• ShirimaniF

  HH 9/10 Spider: an 80% AoE Freeze stops the ling flood outright and her A2 heals through the bites (her heal scales off the ALLY's MAX HP, so the 35% damage-heal tax does not touch it). HARD CAVEAT, same as Gliseah's and Graal's: burns tick when their owner takes a turn, so freezing lings DELAYS ticks — bring her when survival is the problem, not when burn throughput is. Note her HH Spider HARD rating is only 2/10. Queue #20.

• Countess LixM

  HH 10/10 Spider (queue #21): A2 triple-hit AoE Dec SPD + TM drain slows the ling flood while A3 shaves 1 turn off every ally cooldown (not a full refresh) to keep the AoE burns and shreds cycling — the cooldown compression is worth more inside the Ideal burn comp than the raw rating suggests.

• Shu-Zhen the ValorousV

  HH 10/10 Spider (6★ BUILT): ±20% TM swing + Dec SPD keeps Skavag off-turn; SPD→ACC passive hits the debuff floor for free. Spider HARD 2/10 — a normal-mode card only.

• ParagonV

  OUT of the main five — build state, not kit. HH 10/10 and formerly a Team Ideal seat, but he is still a 3★ Rare: no HP pool to bait the swarm with and, unbooked, A2 Damage Control is a 4-turn cooldown on a 2-turn [Unkillable], so the loop has holes exactly when it matters. Fully built (6★ + both A2 Cooldown −1 books) the cooldown drops to 2 and the Unkillable becomes permanent — the only sustain that ignores the 35% damage-healing tax entirely. Still the budget version of Maneater's seat. Not in data/priority.json's 6★ queue.

• Bad-el-KazarF

  CORRECTED 2026-08-14 — a previous note claimed his A1 team heal 'sidesteps the 35% damage-heal tax'. It does not: HellHades' own skill data reads 'Attacks all enemies. Heals this champion and all allies by 20% of the damage inflicted', which is exactly the damage-based healing Skavag's passive taxes to 35%. His RATING is fine — Ayumilove gives him Spider 5★ and HellHades 8/10 (an earlier flag in this record misread Ayumi's ★1 for Nether Spider as his Spider score; withdrawn). So he is a strong body here whose headline heal is the one that gets taxed: what carries the seat is A2 Malice — removes all debuffs from all allies, two 15% Continuous Heals (not damage-based), and two 5% Poisons on all enemies, CD 5 (→3 booked) — a cleanse for the lings' poison bites, plus his passive giving every ally +20% damage into Poisoned targets. 6★ built.

• Dhukk the PiercedM

  Spider 5★: AoE Dec ATK + crit-proc Dec DEF every 3 turns on a DEF-scaling body that survives the bites. Queue #25

• Sir ArtimageF

  Spider 5★ (HH 9/10): A1 carries 60% Dec DEF + 30% Dec SPD, A2 self-cleanses the bite debuffs before AoEing the lings.

• AnaxS

  Boss-focused shred: single-target Dec DEF on his A1 spam + Weaken; ACC-geared 6★ body if Katonn is parked elsewhere. HH 7/10.

• Skimfos the ConsumedV

  Debuff hoover (spider 5): transfers the lings' poisons OFF allies onto himself, then heals 5% MAX HP per debuff he carries at the start of EVERY turn; A3 dumps them back and steals 100% TM — only on a crit, so build C.RATE. Caution: AyumiLove commenters report the TM-steal counterattack issue vs (Nether) Spider — manual care.

• AlureM

  Premier boss TM-cut A1 (25% per crit × 3 hits, bookless) — pure devour denial, with A2 AoE Dec DEF + Sleep on the swarm; Spider 4; 6★ BUILT. Stage ≤20 tech: 21–25 halves boss TM cuts.

• Hilda ArnorndottrF

  AoE Stun silences a spiderling wave before devour — CC is HH's top 21–25 recommendation. (Her Heal Reduction is dead weight here: Skavag is immune.) Queue #24

• SachiF

  AoE Dec ACC makes spiderling poisons miss more + 50% team ATK + TM fill on crit.

• DoompriestF

  HH 8/10 — level with Rector Drath. Per-turn AoE cleanse strips poison stacks and her Bolster passive heals 7.5% MAX HP (not damage-based); bookless. The Rector alternative on poison-heavy stages, though she heals far less.

• Kurzad DeepheartV

  Team Inc ACC 50% + AoE Dec DEF if still short of the 225 wall (3★).

• DilgolV

  Budget AoE 50% Dec ACC + Dec SPD spiderling mute (3★).

• ExcruciatorM

  Unveiled A2 = TM deplete, capped at 50% on bosses — and 21–25 halves boss TM-reduction on top; stage ≤20 tech only.

• Rugnor GoldgleamV

  Near-permanent 60% Dec DEF loop (manual, 4★); one of fourteen spider-5 bodies.

• Xanthe SeaflowerF

  A2 AoE 75% chance of 50% Dec ATK, healing the team 5% of her MAX HP per debuff landed — sustain that scales with the swarm and is NOT damage-based; Spider 4 both sources.

• LocwainM

  A3 ignores Shield and resets on kill — spiderling execution loop; Spider 4 (HH).

• HotatsuM

  Dec ATK + DEF aura + team heal takes the sting out of spiderling chip; Spider 4. Queue #22

• SineshaF

  Spider 5★: AoE A1 + sub-50% execute chews lings; HP-equalize resets bite chip. S-tier epic (Ayumi).

• Grizzled JarlM

  Spider 5★ (HH 9/10): AoE Dec ATK + MAX-HP strip chews spiderlings; DEF-scaling body survives the bites.

• KunoichiF

  AoE Leech at 75% on a DEF-scaled body: damage-based healing works at only 35% vs Skavag, and Leech is a debuff on the enemy rather than a heal on you, so it partially routes around that tax. Ayumi 5★.

• Fodbor the BardS

  HH 9/10: triple-hit A1, AoE 60% Dec DEF, and an 80% two-buff steal that converts to a Stun on a buff-less target. Queue #30

• Rhaia the MournedV

  6★ Legendary — HH 8/10 Spider (Ayumi 4★): A3 hits every enemy 3× and each hit steals a buff, which chews the ling swarm, and A1's Extra-Turn-on-kill lets her clear multiple lings per turn. Her self-heal is damage-based, so it is taxed to 35% here.

• Kellan the ShrikeM

  HH 9/10 Spider: A2 double-hit cuts 50% Turn Meter and lands 30% Dec SPD (both book to 100%) while self-Veiling, and A3's AoE grows 5% per debuff on the target.
