New Blacks Champion: Rhaenyra Targaryen (The Black Queen)
Greetings House Leaders,
Kneel before the rightful Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, Rhaenyra Targaryen (The Black Queen)! Read on to learn more about this new Legendary Champion, and play now to test out this Champion’s might!
A New Faction Emerges…the Blacks
The long-awaited Blacks Faction has begun to shore up its forces in Game of Thrones: Legends. This powerful Faction seeks to win through ramping power with FURY, and then activating ENRAGED to boost the team’s defense and deal devastating damage to their opponents.
Because they require time to generate FURY, the Blacks are vulnerable against fast, high-damage teams such as the Free Cities or their rivals for the throne: The Greens. But given time, they are an effective force against other slow-ramping factions, such as the Starks or the Lannisters.
New Champion
Rhaenyra Targaryen (The Black Queen)
Rarity: Legendary
Faction: Blacks, Targaryen
Class: Wise Strategist
Gem Color: Violet
Rhaenyra seeks to win the war over the throne through a show of force. As the de facto leader of the Blacks Faction, the Black Queen is an effective generator of FURY, buffing her team as they build up strength. Then, when she becomes ENRAGED, her power greatly increases and she is able to deal devastating damage to all enemies. Because of her FIRE generation, Rhaenyra is also an effective member of a Targaryen team.
Skill
Accept Me As Your Queen – Rhaenyra grants all allies 1 FURY then deals Attack Fire Damage to an enemy and afflicts them with FIRE. When ENRAGED she deals additional Attack Fire Damage to all enemies and afflicts them with additional FIRE.
Trait
How Have You Served The Realm? – Whenever an ally gains FURY they have a chance to gain an additional FURY. The first time Rhaenyra or one of her allies drops below 25% HP they're HEALED for a percentage of her Max HP plus an additional time for each stack of FURY.
Leader
You Kneel Quickly – When Rhaenyra becomes ENRAGED, all allies gain Stamina. Whenever any team member becomes ENRAGED, REMOVE all Debuffs from Rhaenyra.
Champion Strategy
Rhaenyra will pair well with any champion that uses the new FURY and ENRAGED mechanics. Her skill helps get her entire team to that enraged state faster by giving all of her team members FURY. While her passive gives all champions a chance to get an additional FURY for free anytime they gain FURY. Which can greatly speed up the sometimes-slow-to-anger Blacks Faction. True to her Targaryen namesake she also plays well with FIRE teams, adding FIRE to the enemies she targets with her skill. This gets even better once she’s ENRAGED, adding an additional burst of fire damage to all enemies and afflicting them all with additional FIRE.
Synergies
Three Champions:
Daenerys Targaryen (Mother of Dragons) - Both Daenerys and Rhaenyra provide powerful finishers for teams utilizing FIRE. The FURY buff she provides will help this team outlast enemies to get the most out of their FIRE marks.
Grey Worm (Leader of the Unsullied) - Grey Worm helps provide a solid shield for Rhaenyra letting her last long enough to build up FURY and her team which also helps Greyworm last longer as well.
Rhaenyra Targaryen (The King’s Chosen Heir) - Rhaenyra (The Black Queen) pairs well with her younger self by applying FIRE to weak targets so that power-ups can spawn upon their defeat. This can help fuel her stamina so that she can reach her ENRAGED state even faster.
More Blacks Champions are on their way that will also synergize well with their Queen.
Best Team:
Rhaenyra Targaryen (The Black Queen) Rhaenyra Targaryen (The King’s Chosen Heir) Grey Worm Daenerys Targaryen (Mother of Dragons) Viserys Targaryen III
The Black Queen works best on teams that maximize the amount of FIRE applied to the enemy, as her FURY buffs can help the team apply FIRE more quickly. Because FURY also buffs defense as it stacks, a Targaryen team will last longer and be able to realize their fiery potential. As more members of the Blacks Faction emerge, the true power of FURY and ENRAGED will be realized.
Best Battle Modes
Alliance Legendary Assault is a key battle mode in which to utilize this Rhaenyra, as her FURY and ENRAGED buffs will help her team live for longer and charge up their skills faster. The longer a fight drags out, the more powerful a Blacks team will become.
Rhaenyra Targaryen (The Black Queen) is also a valuable Champion when fighting in Raids against slower Faction teams such as the Starks or the Lannisters.
