New Champion: Viserys I Targaryen

Greetings House Leaders,

The King who knew no great wars nor grand struggles now enters the fray, seeking only to preserve his legacy and keep his family from tearing itself apart. Read on to learn more about this new Legendary Champion, and play now to test out this Champion’s might.

New Champion

Viserys I Targaryen

Rarity: Legendary

Faction: Targaryen

Class: Court Mender

Gem Color: Violet

Skill

Set Aside Your Grievances - Viserys PACIFIES himself for a number of turns, then removes buffs from each enemy and debuffs from each ally. Each status effect removed in this manner is replaced with FIRE. Following this purification, he HEALS each ally for a percentage of his ATK, granting a substantial healing bonus for every stack of FIRE currently burning upon them.

Trait

Infighting Must Cease - At the start of a turn, if Viserys remains PACIFIED, he afflicts random enemies and a chosen ally with FIRE. Should an enemy strike Viserys with a Skill while he is PACIFIED, he retaliates by dealing a percentage of his ATK as damage to the aggressive target.

Leader

A Peaceful Rule - At the start of combat, all champions on the battlefield begin PACIFIED for a number of turns. Furthermore, whenever any champion is defeated, Viserys attempts to halt the escalating violence by PACIFYING himself, random enemies, and his remaining allies for a duration. Viserys is completely immune to the effects of FIRE and will always receive the maximum bonus from his own healing abilities.

Champion Strategy

Viserys I Targaryen is designed to dictate the pacing of combat by forcing a mandatory peace upon unruly opponents. House Leaders should utilize his abilities to halt aggressive teams that rely heavily on stacking buffs or unleashing early burst damage. By pairing his PACIFY mechanic with sustained damage effects, you can force your enemies to sit idly while they slowly burn to ash. While his healing output is highly potent when allies are afflicted with FIRE, care must be taken to ensure your team can survive the heat of his domestic arbitration.

Synergies

Three Champions:

Viserys III Targaryen – The self-burn tendencies of the Beggar King synergize perfectly with the maximum healing bonuses and fire generation provided by his ancestral namesake.

Alicent Hightower – Serving as a stabilizing presence, her abilities can mitigate the collateral damage of internal house conflicts while capitalizing on the target containment Viserys provides.

Drogon – This monstrous dragon thrives within the ash and flame generated by Viserys, transforming a stalled battlefield into a burning wasteland.

Best Team

Viserys I Targaryen (Leader)

Viserys III Targaryen

Alicent Hightower (Queen Dowager)

Drogon

Daenerys Targaryen 006 (Mother Of Dragons)

Viserys fits many viable team compositions. As a steadfast leader, he lets the fire of House Targaryen burn while holding your team together through the harshest of combat, cleansing allies, spreading flame and turning chaos into lasting strength.

When paired with Alicent, they form a resilient core that outlasts brutal assaults while spreading FIRE across the battlefield. Use Drogon and Daenerys to capitalize on flame-stacked enemies. Viserys III grows deadlier with every burn and rallies fellow Targaryens when allies fall. Other Targaryen units can maximize the value of Viserys’ FIRE powered healing. Experiment and unleash the dragonfire of House Targaryen!

Best Battle Modes

RAIDS / Alliance Wars

Viserys I is a deliberate Mender who focuses on PACIFYING the battlefield, converting buffs and debuffs into FIRE, and keeping allies alive.

Viserys thrives in longer battles, where stacked FIRE fuels ever-stronger HEALS and each fallen champion triggers another wave of control and recovery.

In alliance wars, look for Outposts that empower Viserys by adding FIRE to enemies, granting Stamina when allies are HEALED, or helping him join the battle more quickly.
