Vott Head-Lopper is a Magic Legendary HP champion of the Banner Lords, announced in the October 2026 Halloween roster. His all-battles leader aura gives +40% HP exclusively to Banner Lords allies. Ever-Sharp Ax (A1) is HP-scaling AoE damage that incrementally decreases target DEF and RES by 5%, each accumulating to a stated 30% maximum, distinct from conventional timed debuffs. One Clean Cut (A2, 5-turn base / 3 booked) places Hunter’s Gaze and Deathbrand on one enemy before its HP-based attack and ignores 30% of DEF; an A2 killing blow resets his A3 cooldown.

If no enemies have any buffs remaining after the skill finishes resolving, grants Vott an Extra Turn. The duration reduction is NOT a guaranteed full buff strip when buffs exceed t
- Any Last Words? — Whenever an enemy dies, automatically activates Ever-Sharp Ax. That triggered activation occurs at most once per turn. Vott gains 10 percentage points C.DMG per enemy killed, stacking to +100% maximum. At the beginning of each of his turns, heals himself by 5% of his MAX HP.
