New Champion
Tyland Lannister
Rarity: Legendary
Faction: The Greens & The Lannisters
Class: Strategist
Gem Color: Green
The unyielding strategist of the Greens and the Lannisters, Tyland is a Control and Debuff Hybrid who excels at bridging the TREASURY and BIRTHRIGHT mechanics. By leveraging his immense wealth and political influence, he grants his team formidable defensive and offensive capabilities, ensuring that those who stand with him are handsomely rewarded.
Skill
Wrestle for Me – Tyland grants a target ally TAUNT, BIRTHRIGHT, and increased POWER for a set number of turns. Utilizing his TREASURY, Tyland stuns the strongest and weakest enemies on the battlefield.
Trait
Born to Endure – Tyland begins combat with BIRTHRIGHT and increased Stamina. Whenever an ally uses their skill, all allies gain a DEF increase for a number of turns.
Leader
This is Why Men Wage War – At the start of the battle, Tyland adds Coins to the TREASURY if a Lannister ally is on the team and grants all allies an ATK Buff if a Greens ally is on the team. When any team member withdraws from the TREASURY, Tyland strikes the weakest enemy for ATK Physical Damage and grants BIRTHRIGHT to all Greens team members.
Champion Strategy
Tyland Lannister acts as the puppet master of your formation, creating a carry from amongst his own teammates while utilizing his treasury and birthright to improve his allies. He thrives when commanding mixed teams of Lannisters and Greens, as his abilities are specifically designed to bolster their strength and defenses. It would be wise to remember that his influence is significantly weaker when he is separated from his kin and his faction.
Synergies
Three Champions:
Sunfyre - Sunfyre's skill can repeat once for each stack of Birthright he has. Tyland's skill and Leader Ability continuously supply him with Birthright, ensuring he remains fully stacked and capable of dealing exceptional damage.
Cersei Lannister - Cersei provides valuable healing, generates Coins, and has a low-cost Treasury skill that requires only 3 Coins. This helps Tyland consistently trigger his Leader Ability and use his stun
Criston Cole - Criston is a high-defense frontline champion whose skill scales def with the amount of Birthright he possesses. This pairs perfectly with Tyland's ability to grant Birthright and his passive Defense buffs gained whenever allies use skills. Tyland can also grant Criston Taunt, enabling him to shield the rest of the team and serve as a highly durable tank.
Best Team
Tyland Lannister (Leader)
Sunfyre
Gregor Clegane
Aegon II Targaryen
Cersei Lannister
Tyland has many viable team compositions. As a tactical leader, he is great at controlling opponents and manipulating combat resources while simultaneously empowering his allies.
When paired with Sunfyre, they form a powerful frontline core that can outlast and overwhelm any challenger. Use Gregor and Cersei to capitalize on TREASURY. Alicent and other Greens can maximize the value of Tyland’s BIRTHRIGHT. Other Lannister units can maximize the value of Tyland’s debuffs. Experiment and unleash the golden dominance of the realm!
Best Battle Modes
RAIDS / Alliance Wars
Tyland is a tactical champion that focuses on controlling opponents and amassing his Treasury.
Tyland thrives in longer battles; once he secures his wealth, he can help spread the power to his allies.
In alliance wars, look for Outposts which can empower Tyland by feeding his TREASURY or helping him gain stamina to manipulate the battlefield more quickly.
