Attack
Ogryn Tribes

Force Legendary Ogryn ATK nuker who self-buffs before a two-hit Shield-ignoring finisher, scales AoE damage with his own active buffs, and accumulates C.DMG/incoming-damage mitigation through legitimately earned Extra Turns. Offensive AoE wave nuker. A3 shield-ignoring priority target finisher. Ogryn Faction Wars and conditional Arena damage.

Best used in: Classic Arena offense: self-buffed single-target finisher into potential kill Extra Turn, followed by AoE buff-scaled wave clear when enemies can be killed. · Campaign wave farming: A2 AoE with conditional additional turns after at least two kills; efficiency varies with gear and encounter target HP. · Faction Wars Ogryn Tribes: physical AoE and target-finishing damage plus all-battle ATK aura for allied ATK damage dealers. · Doom Tower regular and some difficult waves: kill-chaining AoE after setup, contingent on enemy defenses and revive effects. · Minotaur and early/mid dungeon waves: AoE and two-hit finishing damage; not automatically optimal for the actual boss.

Recommended build

Gear sets: Savage + Cruel

Stat priority: Effective C.RATE up to 100% for conventional direct-hit crit consistency, accounting for external buffs and content restrictions. › ATK%/flat ATK and C.DMG for hard-hitting A2/A3; attack scaling applies to all three actives. › SPD tuned for a valid setup sequence: after debuffer and buffer, before enemy defensive response. › Enough HP%/DEF% to survive until nuke and avoid dying before passive accumulation; ATK champion base HP is limited. › Ignore native Accuracy allocation, unless an equipped external item/blessing requires an ACC-vs-RES check. › RES only for specialized survivability/build choices; not innate kit requirement.
