Taras the Fierce is a Void Legendary HP champion from the Banner Lords built around HP-scaled damage, team-buff density, reactive partner pressure, and unusual self-mitigation. Shatter Upon Us hits twice at 0.12 HP per hit, carries a 40% listed chance to place 50% Decrease ATK for 2 turns, and fills every ally's Turn Meter by 5% for each native hit that critically strikes. Hero's Intercession is a 0.35 HP single-target hit on a 4-turn base / 3-turn booked cooldown, places a 2-turn Stun, and doubles its native damage when the target's ATK is equal to or higher than Taras's.
