Know Arthur's skills!
Perfection (Passive)
Arthur is blessed by the skies, which grants him 28 armor (varies depending on the hero's level).Burning Honor
Arthur gets energized, increasing his movement speed by 30%. It will leap towards the enemy on its next normal attack, dealing 180 (+164) physical damage and slowing their movement speed by 90% for 1 second. The target reached by this ability will also be marked for 5 seconds. Arthur's normal attacks deal 1% of the maximum health of targets marked with additional magic damage. This mark also increases the movement speed of nearby friendly heroes for 5 seconds.Holy Protector
Arthur summons sanctified swords that circulate around him, dealing 100 (+65) (+0) magic damage per strike. This skill lasts for 5 seconds.The Impact of Heaven
Arthur jumps into the sky and then explosively falls on top of an enemy hero inflicting 750 (+213) physical damage and causing nearby enemies to fly for 0.5 seconds. Enemies within the blast radius will also take 100 (+57) physical damage every second for 5 seconds.Tips on how to play with Arthur
- At the beginning of the game ( early game ), always try to use a normal attack, Ardor da Honor and another normal attack, in that order. The combo will deal great damage and the last hit will always hit with a view to slowing down caused by the Ardor of Honor.
- In the late game , Arthur is able to destroy waves of minions with extreme ease. So be sure to help your team by pushing the trails and smothering your enemies.
- While roaming between the trails ( roaming ), whenever possible, start fights using Ardor of Honor on the most fragile enemy heroes (usually wizards and snipers). When you are close, use Holy Protector and normal attacks.
- When necessary, don't forget to use Ardor da Honor in a defensive way to increase your movement speed and avoid fights. Heaven's Impact is also an essential tool to delay enemies while their partners escape.
- Never be the first of the team to run away! As a tank, you must be the first to enter and the last to leave the fights.
Best skill build
At level 1, choose the Holy Protector skill to help level and push the trails. After that, focus on leveling Ardor of Honor to the maximum. Choose Impact from Heaven at level 4 and start wandering the trails in search of enemies out of position. Attack them with combos of Ardor of Honor + Impact from Heaven to deal a lot of damage. From the middle of the game on, Arthur becomes a perfect tank to start fights, so try to coordinate the team and choose the best time to fight. During fights, always be on the front lines to tank the damage and focus your Burn of Honor and Impact from Heaven on the weakest enemy heroes. When recharging these abilities, use Holy Protector to supplement the damage.Core items
