Hound Spawn Guide

Attack
Demonspawn

Hound Spawn earns a 2.1/5.0 rating because his kit is fundamentally broken by its dependencies. While the ability to ignore 100% DEF is a powerful mechanic in isolation, locking it behind both a specific teammate (Hellfang) and a specific debuff (Freeze) makes it too inconsistent for competitive play. His base stats are underwhelming for an Attack champion, and his 20% stun and 50% Decrease DEF proc rates are significantly lower than other F2P-friendly Rares like Warmaiden or Spirithost. He lacks any utility for high-end dungeons, Clan Boss, or Doom Tower, leaving him as a low-tier niche pick
