Rowan Guide

Epic
Void
Attack
Banner Lords

Rowan earns a 2.7/5.0 rating because her kit is overly fragmented and lacks the specialization required for the modern meta. While being a Void champion prevents weak hits, her 30% stun chance on the A2 is too low for reliable crowd control, and her A3 poisoning is outclassed by many Rare champions like Frozen Banshee. Her base defensive stats are quite poor, making her difficult to keep alive in high-level dungeons or Doom Tower. She receives a boost for her Faction Wars utility and her ability to land Heal Reduction consistently, but compared to other Epic damage dealers like Whisper or Fena
