Dwarves

Rugnor Goldgleam earns a 4.0/5.0 rating because he offers an elite debuff combination—Decrease Defense and Weaken—on a single, Void-affinity champion. This combination is the gold standard for boss encounters, and his ability to grant himself an Extra Turn makes him incredibly self-sufficient. His rating is bolstered by his high base damage and his utility in Clan Boss and Doom Tower bosses, where he punches well above his Epic weight class. He is held back from a perfect 5.0 only by his fragility; his self-damaging mechanic is a double-edged sword that requires top-tier gear and specific team
