New Champion: Tywin Lannister
Greetings House Leaders,
The ruthless Hand of the King and head of House Lannister rides into battle! Read on to learn more about this new Legendary Champion, and play now to test out this Champion’s might!
New Champion
Tywin Lannister
Rarity: Legendary
Faction: Lannister
Class: Field Commander Strategist
Gem Color: Gold
As the Lord of Casterly Rock, Tywin Lannister starts every battle by putting Coins in the TREASURY, giving Lannister Champions a leg up in the fight. In addition to his all-enemy attack, his Skill also grants his allies BIRTHRIGHT, which gives them an increase in damage from Skills, Leader, and Passive abilities. Unique to Tywin is the RUIN effect, which when stacked to 3 RUIN, will cut down the Strongest enemy’s HP and Debuff their DEF.
Skill
Our Name Commands Respect! – Tywin deals Damage to all enemies and has a chance to REMOVE Buffs from them. TREASURY (4): He grants all allies BIRTHRIGHT. If the ally is a Lannister, grants additional BIRTHRIGHT.
Trait
Lord Of Casterly Rock – Start the battle with many Coins in the TREASURY. Every few turns, Tywin will apply a mark of RUIN to the Strongest enemy. At 3 RUIN, the enemy will have their Current HP cut down a fraction and receive a DEF Debuff. Does not affect Dragons.
Leader
The Rains Of Castamere – Once per turn when an ally gains BIRTHRIGHT, Tywin grants them Critical Strike Chance for some turns. If they are a Lannister, he also grants them a boost in Critical Damage for some turns.
Champion Strategy
Tywin has the power to stand alone or raise those around him. He can devastate any Tank with RUIN, has the power to fuel BIRTHRIGHT to an entire team, or can fund any of the Lannisters expenditures. Control yourselves, and the Battlefield with Tywin Lannister.
Synergies
Three Champions:
Gregor Clegane – Tywin’s ability to grant BIRTHRIGHT, Crit Chance and Crit Damage to Lannisters pushes the power from Gregor even harder.
Cersei Lannister (Queen of the Seven Kingdoms) – Tywin can empower Cersei’s healing, her damage, and pay her TREASURY costs with ease.
Aegon II Targaryen – Aegon loses BIRTHRIGHT faster, but his ability to feed stamina for doing so and for gaining an ATK Buff for each BIRTHRIGHT he has synergizes well with Tywin’s generous BIRTHRIGHT generation
Best Team:
Tywin Lannister (Leader)
Cersei Lannister (Queen of the Seven Kingdoms)
Jaime Lannister
GREENS TEAM
Criston Cole (Kingmaker)
Aegon II Targaryen
LANNISTER TEAM
Meryn Trant
Tyrion Lannister (Lord of Casterly Rock)
Tywin has the ability to take a core of Lannisters into an upper echelon thanks to his teamwide buffs that benefit all, whether using 5 Lannisters or 3 and a flex pair. By pairing with Greens champions like Criston Cole (Kingmaker) and Aegon II Targaryen, as an example, he can elevate their inherent usage of BIRTHRIGHT to the next level.
Best Battle Modes
War of the Three Banners
Tywin’s generation of buffs, massive Gold spawn, and damage can synergize on many teams and can adapt to many of the Outposts’ various Battle Effects.
