Plarium has announced a new Legendary champion, Skorza Norrstalker, arriving on Thursday, 19 November through a Champion Fragment Event. He is a Spirit Attack champion in the Lizardmen faction, the same faction as Rhazin Scarhide.
What his kit does
A1: Northron Killer attacks one enemy and ignores 20% of the target's DEF. It has a 50% chance of placing True Fear for 2 turns, and that debuff cannot be resisted if the target has any MAX HP destroyed.
A2: Great Slaughterer (4-turn cooldown) hits all enemies 2 times and ignores Shield buffs. Each hit destroys MAX HP equal to 50% of the damage inflicted, stacking up to 60%. It deals 20% more damage for each enemy killed during the battle by any ally, stacking up to 100%, and that bonus does not reset between rounds.
A3: Dragonkin Vengeance (5-turn cooldown) hits one enemy 2 times, each hit ignoring 30% of DEF. If the initial target dies, it destroys 20% of every other enemy's MAX HP, stacking up to 60%, or 15% for Bosses. It also places True Fear on all other enemies for 2 turns. If the target survives, it gets True Fear instead. The skill grants an Extra Turn.
Passive: Norrstalker makes his attacks ignore Strengthen, Increase DEF and Block Damage buffs on targets with destroyed MAX HP, or under Fear or True Fear. He also takes 3% less damage for every 1% of the attacker's destroyed MAX HP, up to 50% damage reduction.
Where he looks useful
Wave-based content looks like his best home. The damage bonus from kills carries between rounds, so he can reach the full 100% bonus before the final wave. The Extra Turn from Dragonkin Vengeance lets him follow straight up with Great Slaughterer.
In Arena, ignoring Block Damage and Shield could help break through defensive teams, but he needs MAX HP destruction or Fear in place first, which is his main hurdle. In Faction Wars he gives Lizardmen teams a dedicated damage dealer and crowd controller to use alongside Rhazin Scarhide.
Should you chase him?
On paper he is a promising pick for anyone wanting a wave clearer. The damage multipliers and performance against specific bosses are still unknown, so wait for the details before committing resources you would rather spend elsewhere. If you have a Lizardmen team that struggles in Faction Wars, he is the one to watch.
