Who is the best starter champion — and how should you build them?
Let’s break it down step by step.
TL;DR: Pick Kael
He’s the strongest choice for:
- Campaign
- Clan Boss fights
- Dungeons
Why? Because Kael brings solid damage, useful debuffs, and scales well into late game. He’s like the reliable friend who shows up and actually does the work.
Why Kael Is the Best Starter
Kael is a rare champion who hits above his weight class. Here’s what makes him worth picking:
His Skills
- Dark Bolt (A1): Basic attack with a chance to place two Poison debuffs. Add rare skill tomes to boost the chance.
- Acid Rain (A2): AoE nuke. Bonus crit chance and a 25% turn meter boost for each kill.
- Disintegrate (A3): AoE with a 40% chance to place Poison for 2 turns (50% when fully upgraded).
His Base Stats (Rare Champion)
- HP: 13,710
- Attack: 1,200
- Defense: 914
- Speed: 103
Solid numbers. With even basic gear, Kael becomes a workhorse in your team.

Best Masteries for Kael
Take these to get the most out of him:
Offense Tree
- Critical Rate → Critical Damage → Warmaster

- Include Healing Savior along the way
Warmaster boosts damage in boss fights. Sniper increases Poison application.
