New Champion: Daario Naharis
Greetings House Leaders,
The commander of the Second Sons has remained in Essos to watch over Meereen, but his blade is always prepared for battle. Read on to learn more about this new Legendary Champion, and play now to test out his might.
New Champion
Daario Naharis
Rarity: Legendary
Faction: Free Cities
Class: Fighter
Gem Color: Violet
Daario acts as a crucial enabler for your forces, stripping away enemy defenses so your primary attackers can strike true. His expertise in hunting the Sons of the Harpy translates into powerful anti-stealth and anti-shield capabilities, ensuring no enemy can hide from your strategy.
Skill
Lead The Charge – Daario strikes an enemy for Physical Damage. Should he land a Critical Strike, each ally will follow up to deal Physical Damage to all other enemies.
Trait
You've Forgotten How To Hide – When Daario strikes a TAUNTING enemy, he deals additional damage and removes their TAUNT. If Daario defeats an enemy with his Skill, all enemies in STEALTH lose STEALTH. For each Buff Daario removes, he grants FREE CITIES team members Stamina.
Leader
I Hope It Brings You Happiness – When an enemy gains a shield, FREE CITIES team members gain Stamina. When an ally uses their Skill, Daario strikes all shielded enemies for Physical Damage.
Champion Strategy
Leader of the Second Sons, advisor to the queen, and adept hunter of the Sons of the Harpy. Daario will help your Free Cities soldiers find their target. No hiding behind tanks or hiding in the shadows when Daario arrives to battle. He excels at dismantling shields and control effects, allowing your high-damage Champions to focus on their primary targets uninterrupted.
Synergies
Three Champions:
Khal Drogo - Daario opens the path to allow Khal Drogo to defeat the weak enemies and trigger his abilities.
Tywin – Tywin grants allies crit chance and Birthright. The increased critical strike chance helps ensure Daario’s charge will succeed, and when it does, it strikes with more power.
Nymeria - Nymeria’s leader ability deals massive damage to enemies who gain taunt. However, extending the duration of an existing taunt, will not trigger her ability. Daario removes taunt, forcing tanks to taunt again and face Nymeria’s wrath.
Best Team:
Daario Naharis (Leader)
Daenerys Targaryen (Conqueror of Qarth)
Khal Drogo
Jorah Mormont
Daenerys Targaryen (Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea)
As a Leader, Daario punishes enemies who rely on shields by granting Stamina to this Free Cities team. His ability to strip away TAUNT and STEALTH ensures that the heavy hitters, like Daenerys and Khal Drogo, have unfettered access to their prey. The constant, sustained damage of the Free Cities is perfectly complemented by Daario's targeted utility.
Best Battle Modes
PVP
Daario’s ability to remove taunt so that his allies can strike key targets is most valuable in game modes where precise targeting and team composition matter. Daario will be most effective in PvP.
