• Defense
• Lizardmen

Primus Atalact is a Void Epic Defense champion from the Lizardmen announced for the October 2026 Orynyx Mindcrawler mixed Fusion. His default attack threatens a conditional one-turn Stun and supplies short Perfect Veil to the lowest-DEF ally. Steadfastly Loyal applies an AoE Provoke while giving Primus a two-turn Counterattack buff; his passive steals a random eligible buff from the enemy he counterattacks, creating a control/buff-theft loop that requires both target susceptibility and sufficient Accuracy. Phalanx of Scales grants all allies 60% Increase DEF before coordinating a single-target

Best used in: Lizardmen Faction Wars · Doom Tower waves with Provoke/Stun-susceptible enemies · General early/mid-game dungeon waves · Fire Knight Normal Mode shield-breaking via A3 team-up · Faction-restricted Cursed City encounters allowing Lizardmen/Epic/Void
