The Sacred Order

Purgator earns a 2.5/5.0 rating because he is the definition of a niche filler. His ability to ignore [Shield] buffs on his A1 is a premium mechanic usually reserved for higher-rarity champions, which saves his score from being lower. However, he is held back by a conflicting kit; his A2 encourages having debuffs on himself, which is fundamentally antithetical to how most players build successful teams. Compared to top-tier Rares like Coldheart or Apothecary, Purgator lacks the universal utility needed for a higher score, and his total irrelevance in Clan Boss and Hydra significantly drags dow
