New Champion: Jaqen H’ghar
Greetings House Leaders,
A Man appears in Game of Thrones: Legends, offering his aid to your House. Read on to learn more about this new Legendary Champion, and play now to test out this Champion’s might!
New Champion
Jaqen H’ghar
Rarity: Legendary
Faction: Lannister
Class: Indomitable Fighter
Gem Color: Gold
A man appears with the ability to steal the faces of his allies in order to deceive and defeat his enemies. Because of his Skill, “A Man Takes A Name”, Jaqen can REINFORCE the battle by taking the face of a non-Beast ally. His ability can also be used often if one of his Allies HEALS him, granting him Stamina and more Coins to spend on his face-swapping ability.
Skill
A Man Takes A Name – Jaqen strikes the Weakest enemy for True Damage. He then grants a target team member increased Dodge Chance for a number of turns. TREASURY (5): If Jaqen chose a non-Beast ally, he takes their face, REINFORCING the battle for a percentage of his HP. When that Face is defeated, Jaqen returns to the battlefield in his pre-REINFORCE state.
Trait
A Man Has A Thirst – Anytime Jaqen is HEALED by an ally, he gains Stamina, and spawns 1 Coin Gem. At higher levels, his healer gains Stamina as well.
Leader
A Man Pays His Debts – When an ally is defeated, Jaqen strikes the Weakest enemy. At higher levels, this Leader ability activates when any Champion is defeated, including enemies.
Champion Strategy
Jaqen has two engines in his kit which can be used to find success. Firstly, his Skill: playing into his lore as an assassin who can strike even in impossible situations, Jaqen deals True Damage to the Weakest enemy, an attack which ignores both TAUNT and STEALTH. Then, Jaqen's Treasury ability can steal the face of any of his allies, living or dead. This essentially duplicates one of your other Champions, allowing for fun, unique, and powerful teambuilding.
Second, Jaqen's passive can create a powerful Stamina-engine, if he is paired with a healer. His passive builds Stamina for both him and his healer anytime he is healed, allowing them to both supercharge their Skills.
Synergies
Three Champions:
Cersei Lannister (Queen of the Seven Kingdoms) – Cersei is the marquee healer on the Lannister roster right now. Either using Cersei to power Jaqen's passive, or using Jaqen's Skill to copy Cersei and get double-healing can yield explosive results.
Gregor Clegane – Gregor's AoE Skill attack deals massive damage. If you use Jaqen's Skill to double up on Gregor's Skill, it can wipe out an enemy team with ease.
Tyrion Lannister (Lord of Casterly Rock) – When Tyrion uses his Skill to mark an ally as Tyrion's Defender, it can lead to big damage. If you use Jaqen to copy Tyrion, and double this mark, the results can be impressive.
Best Team:
Jaqen H’Ghar (Leader)
Gregor Clegane
Cersei Lannister (Queen of the Seven Kingdoms)
Sandor Clegane (Joffrey’s Guardian)
Tyrion Lannister (Lord of Casterly Rock
Jaqen works well with Lannister Champions who can help build up Coins in the TREASURY. He should also be paired with a strong Mender such as Cersei Lannister (Queen of the Seven Kingdoms) in order to keep her Skill fueled. And of course, his face-swapping REINFORCE will take on the identity of any Lannister allies to keep their abilities reinforcing each other and dealing devastating damage.
Best Battle Modes
Raids
Because Jaqen H’ghar skill allows him to copy any Champion, he can steal the face of any battle mode’s best Champion. That way, you’ll be able to face that battle mode with two of your most powerful Champions!
