Jackal Priest

*Working as an embalmer, Amenemhet was always fascinated by death and the afterlife; holding a special interest in the God Anubis's role.*

*He woke up one morning to find an intricate mask in the image of Anubis next to his bed. Holding the mask, Amenemhet heard a voice give him instruction. He would preach the path of Ma'at, and be a conduit for the will of Anubis himself. Of course, this meant a connection to the Ancient's realm.*

## Acquisition

Amenemhet may be acquired in Act 1 via character recruitment nodes.

## Skills

### Skill Analysis

Amenemhet's skills suggest that he is a utility-based Mage or Support class. He is unique in his ability to resurrect allies as intangible Spirits while improving their damage and stats, as well as his own. Moreover, he is the only character to learn Sandstorm in the current roster, as of game version 0.5.18. Claire learns the ability Entomb from him, and it should be noted that Entomb is subtly strong at reducing the number of enemy turns received, due to its Stun damage and decreasing Speed effect.

## Relic Strategy

Several Relics have strong potential on Amenemhet.

* Holy Water, a Relic obtained from the Cleric class, grants a spell called Consecrate: a Debuff Spell that deals an AoE, Holy, DoT on enemies' turns while additionally reducing enemies' damage dealt by 35%. This stacks nicely with Sandstorm and increases his utility by a large margin.
* Eldar's Scroll, a Relic obtained from the Devil class, provides a list of Bonus Actions called Dark Words. Each Dark Word is a Bonus Action Debuff that reduces a single target's damage, increases their damage taken, or decreases their Speed, each for 3 turns. After applying Sandstorm, Consecrate, and Entomb to enemies, Dark Words allows for a clean, simple skill rotation for Amenemhet to upkeep on his turns, while also further amplifying his utility.
* Zane's Passion is a Relic received from the Fire Mage class. Every time the wearer casts a Spell, there's a 20% chance for the wearer to gain a free turn. It also grants the Fire Blast skill. Amenemhet's entire repertoire of skills are spells. Zane's Passion gives him an increased likelihood of getting uptime on his utility faster. Fire Blast is also an alternative damage source compared to Locust Swarm that also deals Stun damage.
* Valerian Root is a Relic that provides 35% decreased turn delay of Debuffs. Given that Locust Swarm, Entomb, Consecrate, and Dark Words are all Debuffs, Valerian Root allows Amenemhet's turn to approach faster; increasing his overall utility uptime.

## Team Strategy

Amenemhet may serve the role of a utility Support or utility Mage. He does not have the HP to safely sit in the frontline in later acts; however, proper Relic setup and turn manipulation through Haste may alleviate some or all of his squishy issues. Spirit Shield, Consecrate, and Sandstorm improve his survivability by a wide margin; so, it's possible to play him in the front line after these effects are setup. It may be beneficial to play him in either side lane, as opposed to the middle where he is vulnerable.

Amenemhet pairs well a team composition of at least one Support to boost his stats, a tank to absorb the majority of incoming damage, and a damage dealer (DD) to nuke bosses; an area where he struggles.

## Trivia

* Amenemhet's name may be derived from the Egyptian Pharaoh's name Amenemhat I, who was also known as Amenemhet I.
