• Void
• Defense
• Argonites

Tartarus the Oarsman is a Void Legendary DEF-based Argonites single-target executioner introduced in the October 2026 Halloween champion announcement. His A2 supports his team with 60% Increase DEF and draws eligible enemy attacks using Taunt, then hits through Block Damage and Shield while conditionally adding a second hit and stronger DEF bypass after a death. A3 applies Keen Sight before attacking, allowing deliberate targeting through Veil/Perfect Veil and bypassing Evade/redirection. A3 independently ignores Stoneskin and Unkillable with 50% DEF penetration normally or 100% after any ally

Best used in: Classic Arena anti-protection single-target executioner · Tag Team Arena single-target defense-bypass / revive disruption · Live Arena priority-target anti-Evade, anti-redirect matchup · Siege Arena-style battles involving Stoneskin, Unkillable, Veil and enemy revivers

Skills

• Oar Pummel — Attacks 1 enemy once. Has 75% chance to place Stun for 1 turn, increasing to 100% chance if fully booked. The Stun cannot be resisted while at least one ally or enemy is dead.

• Deemed Unworthy · CD 5→3 — Before attacking, applies 60% Increase DEF to all allies for 2 turns and Taunt to self for 2 turns. Attacks 1 enemy, ignoring 25% DEF, Block Damage and Shield.

• Unfit To Live · CD 5→4 — Before attacking, applies Keen Sight to self for 2 turns. Attacks 1 enemy, including Veiled or Perfect Veiled targets, ignoring 50% DEF, Stoneskin and Unkillable. Ignore DEF becomes 100% when any ally or enemy is dead. An enemy killed by this attack grants Tartarus an Extra Turn. Native coefficient unverified.
• Death Hath No Hold · CD 4 — Passive protection: Tartarus cannot die until an enemy kills at least one of his allies, with once-per-round restriction and multi-copy limitation. Passive active reaction: cancels one enemy revival attempt (one random target if multiple simultaneous revives), then activates an Instant Turn for Tartarus and places an i
