Catherine Belen

**Catherine Belen** is one of Baz’s girlfriends, along with Lucy. She is the mother of his daughter, Lena Blackwell. Played by actress Daniella Alonso, Catherine makes her debut in the series’ first episode, “Pilot.” She is one of the main characters of the series’ first season. Catherine meets her demise in the ninth episode of the series’ first season, “Judas Kiss.”

## Biograhpy

Pre-Season: Catherine started dating Baz when they were teenagers, and she'd loved him since she was sixteen.

Her parents were killed in a fire, that was set by Pope on Smurf's orders. Cath had snuck out of the house to meet Baz on the beach so she didn't die and she feels guilty for it.

Pope had also been in love with Cath since they were kids, and she slept with him one night when they were drunk.

In the first season, Pope gets out of prison and hangs around Cath a lot, which scares her. Due to this, she talks to a police officer that frequents her bar about it. The officer introduces her to Detective Sandra Yates, who wants her to snitch on the Cody family, but she refuses.

After Smurf realizes that Cath has stolen money from her and Lena mentioned that she's been around a police officer, she convinces Pope to kill Cath. Pope goes to her house and finds that she has packed suitcases for herself and Lena. Cath says that she just did it in case she had to run because she knows Smurf doesn't like her. In an attempt to protect herself, Cath has sex with Pope. Once it is over, Pope smothers her with a pillow and buries her body in the desert along with her bags.

At the end of season 5, Catherine's body is discovered at a new construction site.

In season 6, a new cold case detective takes Catherine's case with her murder having been previously attributed to Baz.

## Throughout The Series

### Season 1

Nicky and J had been dating before his mom died and she knew about their history.

Nicky and J dated up until he broke up with her to protect her from his family. This ultimately didn't matter as Nicky ended up doing cocaine and sleeping with Craig.

### Season 2

Nicky thinks she and Craig are dating but he is sleeping with other women and annoyed with her childishness. They do a lot of cocaine together.

When Javier comes to Smurf's house in Cry Havoc, Javier threatens her to get J to tell him where Smurf's money is. They kidnap her and throw her out where Smurf buried Javier's father's body. Though J is badly beaten and still has that giant cut in his leg, he demands to know if she's alright as he coughs through his blood. Baz picks her up and brings her home.

Nicky cheats on Craig by making out with J a couple of times. She is upset when he brings Shannon over to swim.

Pulverizer

*"This monstrous mallet is designed to crush anything with ease"*

**Pulverizer** is a Super Rare Two-Handed Hacking weapon. It is preceded by the Super Rare Volcanic Axe and succeeded by the Super Rare Nature's Vengeance.

## Special Properties

* +4.0% Crit chance
* +35% Crit damage

## Strategy

Pulverizer is a popular choice for Berserker due to its bonuses to crit chance and crit damage, both of which it possesses at the highest among all two-handed hacking weapons. This synergizes extremely well with the Berserker's passive, Reckless. In PvP, a Berserker's damage is mostly only relevant when he scores a critical strike, so it makes sense to amplify this aspect of his kit as much as possible. Conveniently, Pulverizer also has extremely low crafting requirements, which only further cement it as an attractive long-term crafting option.

Nevertheless, Pulverizer is a super rare and has lower base stats than its epic counterparts, making for some debate on its viability relative to Earthquaker and The Unmaker.

The tier 1 epic alternative, Earthquaker, is more well rounded and deals better damage when not landing a critical hit. If your goal with the Berserker is to land many attacks over time, then Earthquaker may be a more viable choice. It will however deal less damage on critical hits, which could be a reason to stay with Pulverizer.

The tier 2 epic alternative, The Unmaker, has several downsides, which are discussed on its respective page. Nevertheless, it's generally assumed the tier 2 epic will outperform Pulverizer through sheer base stats, particularly the attack stat, but it may not be noticeable before major investment to max out The Unmaker's level.

A level 80 Pulverizer from defeating stage 60 of Zaluss The Demolisher may actually be the best possible weapon for Berserker in certain cases. With higher Attack and Damage stats than Earthquaker and much better crit damage, as well as considering the weaknesses of later hammers that deal a bonus damage type, it seems likely that this weapon becomes the most powerful available weapon for a tower-defending Berserker out of all available weapons in the game.
Grand Spear Of Vigilance

Grand Spear Of Vigilance is a Tier 3 Epic Two Handed Stabbing weapon.

## Description

Watchlords of Varzjha weilded these great spears when guarding the High Vizier

## Stats

 60
 70
 75

## Special Properties

* +5% Dodge
* +200 Health
* +10% All Resistance
* +5% Armor
* +10% Armor Penetration

## Strategy

Being a much improved version of the Rage of Raegon, its attack, defensive and damage power status are much higher once it reaches its maximum weapon level. And its properties are much better, which gives you 5% dodge, 200 health, 10% of all resistance and 10% armor penetration.

It is a perfect weapon to be used by the Cavalier, but can also be used by Amazon to expand their defenses and with a good level of damage, which is why it is very worth creating this weapon when you reach level 55.
Broke from the Box

Template:Infobox episode

"Broke from the Box" is the sixth episode of the third season.

## Summary

Craig, Deran, and J get into a turf fight with a Brazilian gang and rob them. Smurf asks J to drive to the desert to find Javi's gang after the DA claims to have a witness to the murder when the ballistics report shows that Smurf did not fire the fatal shot. J hesitates but eventually agrees. A tripping Nicky accidentally shoots herself and J drives her to the hospital, leaving her at the front entrance before driving off.
Ninja

*"You will not suffer. You will not see me. You will die."* - Ninja

The Ninja is a super rare hero in Tower Keepers. He uses One Handed Slashing weapons and Cloth.

## Description

Damage dealer: A deadly shadow warrior who can weaken opponents and avoid damage.

## Base stats

 Dodge
 Critical chance
 Initiative

## Skills

### Soul Skill

* Poisoned Smoke Bomb: Stuns all enemies and deals poison damage 3 times.

### Active Skills

* Shadow Slash: Deals physical true damage to a single target.
* Vanish: Becomes untargetable briefly, next attack deals extra physical damage.
* Shuriken Throw: Deals ranged physical damage to a single target.
* Poisoned Dart: Deals ranged physical damage to a single target and reduces target's damage.
* Shadow Step: Deals ranged physical damage to a random single target.

### Passive Skills

* Evasion: Increases dodge chance.
* Ninjutsu Mastery: Increases Shadow Slash and Shuriken Throw damage.
* Smoke and Shadows: Increases Poisoned Dart and Vanish damage.

## Summary

* Ninja is very useful for earning fast soul energy and keeping a skill cycle advantage over an enemy team due to his low initiative attacks and on demand AoE stun. This ability is useful in both PvP and PvE and is even more powerful when combined with the Praetor's Righteousness weapon or a Spellsword for the additional soul energy. However, a Monk with Aura of Stability or a Cleric with Charismatic Leader both provide stun resistance that will counteract his stun effect.
* Recommended build 1: Shadow Step, Shuriken Throw, Vanish, Evasion, Ninjitsu Mastery. This build is more useful when combined with other ranged heroes, or to avoid reflected damage from a Razor Wall in a tower attack.
* Recommended build 2: Shuriken Throw, Vanish, Shadow Slash, Ninjitsu Mastery, Evasion. This build generally does more overall damage than build 1 since true damage ignores armor.
* Vanish makes ninja untargetable, making enemies not attack him with single-target attacks or even group attacks, and he can't be debuffed. However, line attacks targetting an entity in front of (or behind) Ninja or a row attack targetting Ninja's row will still hit him. Also, it makes ninja unable to be healed or otherwise buffed.

## Trivia

* Ninja is unlocked from the Treasure Raid 4 quest for defeating 50 towers.
* Damage added from weapons to Poisoned Smoke Bomb is not affected by attack/defense, buffs, debuffs, or resistances, due to how Damage over Time works. However, weapons with a damage type (Sunforged Scimitar, Vaunted Shadow Blade) ignore the Damage over Time rule, allowing Ninja to deal more or less damage, depending on his attack compared to the enemy's defense and the enemy's resistance to the damage type.
* Ninja's second skin, Oroku, is likely named after Oroku Saki AKA The Shredder from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Franchise. All three skins even wear bladed steel claws to match the name.

Sharp Falchion

*"A powerful single-edged sword with great cutting power."*

**Sharp Falchion** is the first craftable weapon of the of the One Handed Slashing weapon crafting tree. It can also be aquiered as a random drop at any campaign battle.

## Stats Max

* Level: 55
* Atc: ??
* Def: 0
* Dmg: ??

## Strategy

Sharp Falchion is one of the weakest weapons in the game, with no extra properties and extremely low damage, but it is the first weapon you receive as a Fighter during the tutorial after you save the smiths on Stage 3 of the first campaign as a gift.

Although the weapon is extremely useless in the fights, it still has a very large role in helping you achieve archival in the creations of weapons, for its component is one of the cheapest to manufacture: spend only a small amount of iron with a much smaller amount of wood and mystical excellence. In addition to this weapon falling heavily in combat, you can sell and increase your income if you drop enough of this weapon to be able to buy better weapons.

Plague Demon

**Giant Zombie** is a rare class monster found in few campaigns.**Plague Demon** is a rare class monster found in few campaigns.

## Appearances

* The Poisoned Well from 2-14
* Shattered Earth
* The Demon's Blood

## Skills

* Claw
* Dark infection

## Description

They are small and extremely fragile, but they have a reasonable power of long-term shadows that can hurt some heroes who have few defenses buying shadow attacks.

They can be extremely difficult to drop, however they can easily have them in the Witch's Treasure reward after passing their first level, but it is not advisable to use it in this campaign since the monsters naturally already have high resistance to shadows. In fact they are completely useless for other hero campaigns and are not even good for protecting your tower, being only useful to sell yourself to have more easy money, or fuse them into some stronger monster.
Blessed Robes

**Blessed Robes** is the first uncommon armor for the Cloth class.

## Special Properties

* +5% Soul energy
* +60 Health

## About Blessed Robes

Being an improved version of Vestments, it has a lot more defense and armor, as well as giving you 5% Soul Energy plus a 60 health boost, so you can withstand a lot more hits, to start your journey with the Mage, or with the Sorceress, or with the Witch.

That's why it's worth creating Blessed Robes temporarily, until you can also receive a Raiment of Radiance when you're level enough to enter a guild and they buy that armor for everyone, or when you have one level high enough to create much better armor than this.
Covenant Guardian

**Stun Resist:** | 15%

*"Unholy warriors who are the first to charge into battle. High armor."*

## Appearances

* Campaign 5: The Covenant
* Campaign 6: The Demon's Blood

## Skills

* Slash: Deals physical damage
* Great Slash: Deals physical damage to a row
* Taunt: All enemies must attack caster briefly
* Hard To Kill (Passive): Armor is increased whenever health is below a certain point

## Summary

* Covenant Guardian has high health and defense. Armor is mediocre, but increased to a high amount when about a quarter of its health is lost. This makes them tough to beat when physical damage is used.
* Great Slash allows it to deal heavy damage to a row, which is devastating if it manages to land a hit on 3 row targets.
* It is the only monster with the ability to direct all attacks with its Taunt skill, allowing its allies to deal damage without being targeted.
Tooth of the Lost God

**Tooth of the Lost God** it's the first weapon of the class Super Rare in which one can graph, for the class One Handed Hacking.

## About Tooth of the Lost God

The Tier 1 Super Rare 1H Hacker, Tooth of the Lost God has good attack and damage. It also has decent defense as well as offering you many special properties: 3% critical chance, 3% dodge, an extra 90 health topped off with a little light and poison resistance.

Most heroes who use One Handed Hacking weapons can utilize the Tooth of the Lost God. Although, despite being a balanced weapon, all three of the weapons after the Tooth outclass it, especially since Ambusher's Hacker is very easy to unlock, as far as Epic Weapons go.
Alexa Anderson

## Family

**Alexa Anderson** was J and Nicky's science teacher.

## Season 1

Ms. Anderson flirts with J, her 17 year old student, and asks him to come to a photography show with her. Afterwards, she invites him back to her place and gives him a beer and asks about his family. When she puts her hand on his knee, J makes up an excuse and leaves.

She became a DEA informant after buying 5 grams of heroin from an undercover cop. The DEA convinces her to snitch on J and the Cody family.

After J comes to her house to find her throwing up after taking too much heroin, he helps her take a shower and takes care of her. She seduces him, and later tells him she's wearing a wire.

Later, when J refuses to tell the DEA anything substantial, Anderson is arrested.
Mia Benitez

## Throughout The Series

### Season 2

At the end of season 2, Mia fatally shoots Baz on behalf of Smurf.

### Season 3

In season 3, J becomes affiliated with Mia due to Smurf having J pay Pete's gang to protect her in prison. The two become romantically involved, causing J to neglect his relationship with Nicky Belmont while flashbacks identify Mia as Baz's killer. At the end of the season, Smurf hires Pete's gang to murder Lucy for her and Mia once again carries out the hit. Mia's old boyfriend Tupi also returns to town and she begins sleeping with him behind J's back.

### Season 4

In season 4, J and Mia's relationship becomes strained while she begins plotting with Tupi to rob J. Fed up with J's demands on her, Mia uses him as her getaway driver as she murders one of Tupi's friends to demonstrate to J what it is she really does. Enraged, J ends their partnership for good and Tupi assaults him for upsetting Mia. The two subsequently rob J and wreck his house, leaving Mia smug when he confronts her about it.

Things come to a head when Mia and Tupi rob the Codys after they pull a job and Tupi taunts J's uncles to tell their nephew that he said hello. J reports Mia and Tupi's activities to an outraged Pete who confronts the couple and kills Tupi after finding evidence of their crime. After expressing his disappointment to Mia, Pete leaves her fate in J's hands rather than try to protect her. Mia attempts to convince J to continue working with her, using Mia as an enforcer to do his dirty work, but J is unmoved. Mia finally confesses to murdering Baz for Smurf as proof of why he shouldn't trust his family, but J is unmoved. J shoots and kills Mia, avenging Baz's death. J pays Pete to dispose of her and Tupi's bodies with Pete expressing surprise that J had it in him to kill somebody in cold blood.

## Apperances

* Season 3
* Season 4

 “Low Man”

 “Reap”
Scale Mail

*"Interlocking scales of steel provide good protection."*

**Scale Mail** is the first common armor for the Chain class.

## Stats

 9
 55

## About Scale Mail

Being the first line of defense of chain, it has the lowest statistics for its class, although it is slightly better than the versions of ordinary leather armor. It may even give you good defenses for your hero at the beginning of your journey when it falls, but the chains classes also drop quite unusual armor, such as the Blessed Light Mail that provides you with even light resistance against fire.

So it is not advisable to improve Scale Mail, expect to drop that unusual class armor and thus fuse it with the other to make a better defense during the beginning of your journey.
Bonesnap Maul

**Bonesnap Maul** is a super rare weapon in class Two-Handed Hacking.

## Description

A giant maul used by the Lich Lord Drechmaul's elite guard.

## Properties

* Max Level: 55
* Max Att: 132
* Max Def: 27
* Max Dmg: 70
* +3.0% crit chance
* +30% crit damage
* -3.0% enemy dodge
* +60 health

## Strategy

As shown in the table above, Bonesnap Maul is an extremely powerful weapon for the Berserker, possibly better than its successor, the Volcanic Axe. Bonesnap offers more chance for critical damage as well as a bit more critical damage. While Volcanic Axe has more attack and damage, its fiery bonus damage does not help Berserker. When compared to the Pulverizer, Bonesnap has lower attack, damage and critical chance and damage. However, it lowers an enemy's chance to dodge, which certainly works in Berserker's favor (especially if he has the Vest of the Flayer, adding up to a total -8% enemy dodge). This weapon also gives a defense boost that the other two lack, which is a nice touch.
Thousand Barbs

Thousand Barbs is a Tier 3 Epic Two Handed Stabbing weapon. It is preceded by the Tier 3 Epic Grand Spear Of Vigilance.

## Description

One barb for each enemy slain by this vicious poleaxe.

## Stats

 65
 70
 75

## Special Properties

* 20% Faster cooldown to all skills
* -25% Magic Resistance
* +10% Armor Penetration
* -75 HP every 3 turns

## Strategy

This weapon is the best 2 handed stabbing weapon for damage dealing. It can deal high damage on both spear users, particularly the Cavalier since he can increase his own attack, countering the low attack stat. The armor penetration and fast cooldowns allow a Valiant Flurry to do massive amounts of damage, even against heroes with epic armor. Amazon will not do much damage on her own with the weapon, but will quickly kill frontlines with low armor such as a Necromancer. It can also be paired with armor reduction such as a Knight which will allow stronger tanks to go down faster.

However, the weapon comes with one of the worst defensive penalties of any weapon in the game with a huge -25% magic resistance and 75 hp self damage every 3 turns. This can be partially negated with a Plate of Undeath(increasing magic resistance) or Living Leather (counters hp degeneration unless hero is under 75 hp). This means that heroes with this weapon should be well defended, with a taunt on a different hero and/or good defensive party buffs for those who want to create this weapon power.

*Note: Amazon will make the taunting hero particularly difficult to kill if you run Cover Allies, but the buffs and taunt can still be dispelled. Debuffing heroes such as a Samurai will also help.*
Diamond Edged Sword

*"Edged with enchanted diamond this blade cuts through anything"*

**Diamond Edged Sword** is the third Rare One-Handed Slashing weapon, obtainable via Crafting and the Guild Shop. It is preceded by the Rare Shredder and succeeded by the Super Rare Sword of Vengeance.

## Special Properties

* +3.0% Crit Chance
* -3.0% Enemy dodge

## Strategy

Diamond Edged Sword, like many other Rare weapons, isn't worth crafting. Its stats may be passable for an offensive hero like Kensai, but not nearly spectacular enough to be worth the resources. If you find one as a random reward from the Guild Shop, feel free to keep it as a placeholder until you have better options like Perfect Katana and Vorpal Warsword.
Prelates Justice

Prelates Justice is a Tier 3 Epic Two Handed Hacking weapon.

## Description

Used by Battle Priests to mete out justice.

## Special Properties

* +20 Initial soul energy
* 2% Faster cooldown for party
* -150 Health
* +4% Armor
* Damage Type: Light

## Strategy

Don't use this on Berserker! It does not help him very well. It's in the description to just use it on Battle Priest.

Anyway, this weapon has the highest defense of its class (actually, of any weapon), so in addition to its armor, it'll make your Battle Priest quite beefy. The health reduction is easily made up for by using the Theologian passive. The initial soul energy and party buff are somewhat underwhelming compared to other weapons, but they're better than nothing. The light damage type does have pros or cons for Priest. On one hand, the bonus damage isn't actually divided among enemies when using Vengeful Fury, so every enemy takes the full bonus damage. However, the bonus damage is neither affected by Aspirant Warrior when using Holy Strike nor does it count for damage dealt by Spiritual Hammer when using Veritas Lux Mea (so the heal is only based on the base damage dealt).

In summary, this defense weapon serves both to defend the hero and help the group in battle, should you choose this weapon when you reach your level max.
Dragon Minion

*"Draconic servant of Zaluss"*

**Dragon Minion** is a Rare monster that appears when fighting Zaluss the Demolisher or certain stages of The Crimson Masquerade and All Hallow's Eve.

## Appearances

Three Dragon Minions appear when summoned by Zaluss the Demolisher's Brood of Zaluss skill in stages I through V. The summons can be from levels 30 to 42, depending on the stage of the boss.

However, the Dragon Minion makes two other appearances. In stage 20 of The Crimson Masquerade, Lesser Liches have the Brood of Zaluss skill which will summon Dragon Minions in a similar fashion to the guild boss. In stage 12 of All Hallow's Eve, there are three normal Dragon Minions as well as a customized one which behaves similarly to Zaluss but with an added immunity to stuns and crits. Like all other All Hallow's Eve enemies, they also have 100% of every resistance and deal True Damage.

## Skills

### When summoned by Brood of Zaluss, or when owned:

* Bite: Deals X Damage
* Claw: Deals X Damage
* Fire Blast: Deals X Fire Damage (ranged)
* Cone of Fire: Deals X Damage in a line

### All Hallow's Eve 12:

* Claw Swipe: Deals X True Damage to a row
* Deathly Crunch: Deals X True Damage
* Suffering Breath: Drains all Soul Energy, and inflicts X True Damage for each point drained to all enemies
* Brood of Zaluss: Summons up to 3 Dragon Minions level X
* Break Free: Removes all negative effects from the caster
* Incinerating Breath: Deals X True Damage to a line
* Wave of Death: Deals X True Damage to all enemies
* Purge: Removes all buffs from all enemies
* Deadly (Passive): Increases Crit Chance by X%
* Excruciating Aura (Passive): All healing effects are reduced by X%
* Wall (Passive): Immune to Critical Hits, can't be Healed or Stunned
* Charismatic Leader (Passive): Incredibly high Resistances to all

## Trivia

* It is the only non-Boss monster that cannot be obtained as a normal stage reward. The only places that it can be obtained as a reward are from All Hallow's Eve 12 Hard and stage 15 of Zaluss the Demolisher.
Berserker's Quest

Berserker's Quest is a bonus hero campaign featuring the Berserker hero. Its rewards are primarily training points, along with several Catacombs Maps.

 Campaign Properties

You may bring 3 heroes in your formation, one of which must be Berserker. Monsters may fill the empty slots.

All enemies have Berserker's passive skills Heart of the Bear, Reckless, and Vicious Streak, as well as high Attack and Damage. Frozen Blood Hero, Frozen Blood Executioner, Swamp Giant, Vampire, Vampire Lord, and Demonic Watcher also have Fatiguing Strike.

## Missions

\*Some max food costs above 220 actually *are* possible to obtain normally due to monsters having a higher level cap than heroes. The highest possible cost is 310, using 3 level 85 Dragon Minions and a level 55 Berserker. Food costs above 310 are impossible to obtain normally.

## Strategy

**Berserker**

**Monster Blackguard**

**Cleric**

 Blackguard
 Cleric

Any monster should do, but strong choices include Black Fist Evoker, Corrupted Inquisitor, and anything that uses Warcry (such as Vicious Overseer).

Use Berserker's Rampage right away to shred the enemies in the first wave. That should give you plenty enough soul energy to use soul skills at your discretion. Spam Soul Rend and Berserker's Rampage whenever available, though sometimes it may be worth waiting a few turns until Raging Shout is active before using Rampage. Focus all heals on Cleric, and Resurrect if necessary. Due to the nature of the enemies, you may experience bad luck with Cleric dying to critical hits, so bring common Immune and Resurrect potions just in case.
Blessed Light Mail

**Blessed Light Mail** is the second uncommon armor for the Chain class.

## About Blessed Light Mail

It is another improved version of Scale Mail which can be dropped mostly in game modes. Although it has less armor than Chain Mail, but it has much more defense and even offers you some fire damage resistance. So when you get this armor and you still don't have enough level to create the magic armor or you don't receive a Mithral Mail, then it is very worthwhile to upgrade this armor during your long journey in the game.
Rise

"**Rise**" is the second episode of the sixth season of Animal Kingdom, which aired on June 19, 2022.

## Synopsis

J holds a family meeting, on the hunt for a new attorney. Pope refuses to sell his vacant lot. Deran embraces his clout. Craig's sobriety is challenged. In 1992, Smurf & Andrew meet with a lawyer. Julia struggles to be heard in the family.
Covenant Assassin

**Stun Resist:** | 10%

*"Skulking in the shadows, can deal heavy damage but have low defense."*

## Appearances

* Campaign 5: The Covenant
* Campaign 6: The Demon's Blood
* Berserker's Quest

## Skills

* Twin Strike: Deals physical damage twice
* Poisoned Blade: Deals poison damage 3 times
* Bloodthirsty (Passive): Increase attack whenever damage is taken

## Summary

* Covenant Assassin has low armor, variable low resistances and, as said, low defense. Anything can be used against them whether it is physical or magic damage.
* Although it has a low initiative, its attacks come in a volley of double physical damage and a strong damage-over-time poison damage. When in a few numbers they can dish out a lot of damage, so be wary of their presence on the battlefield. High armor and poison resistance can reduce their damage potential.
* When damaged, their attack gets increased from each hit. This makes them deadlier, although their survivability is not guaranteed due to poor defensive attributes
Nature's Offering

**Nature's Offering** it's the second weapon of the class Super Rare in which one can graph, for the class Staff.

## About Nature's Offering

Being similar to the Dark Scepter, it is a weapon made more for defense, although it also serves a bit to be offensive for its attack and damage power is greater than its previous version, but with a much lower defense. However, its properties compensate by giving an increase of 120 health, more 15% of magic resistance and 4% of armor.

Unfortunately although the weapon is Super Rare class, its attack and damage power remains much lower than Hellstaff, but as a defensive weapon, Nature's Offering is at a very high level and can be used by the Mystic or the Druid because they do not prioritize the attack and are more defensive, so it is highly recommended to graph this weapon until you can get Abjurer's Staff of Protection.
Aetheron Robes

*"Robes crafted from the very stuff of magic"*

**Aetheron Robes** is the tier 1 epic Cloth armor. It is preceded by the super-rare Guise of Minaeus and succeeded by the tier 2 epic Spellthread Robe.

## Properties

Max level: 63

ATT: 0

DEF: 151

ARM: 12.8%

+3.0% crit chance

+2.0% dodge

+350 health

+25% magic resistance

## Requirements

Blacksmith: 30

Alchemist: 43

Engineer: 35

Void Cores: 10

## Strategy

The Aetheron Robe is a strong defensive robe, and is much better defensively than the offense-oriented tier 2 epic Spellthread Robe. When combined with Mage's Discretion and Cleric's Charismatic Leader passives, the Mage can reach 71.6% resistance for all magic resistances when both passives are level 10, and reach the 80% cap when combined with his base fire, lightning and ice resistance. With Mystic's Knowledge or Warmaster's Commanding Aura passives included, the Mage can cap out at 80% for all magic resistances, and any other robe-wearing hero can reach 75.6% magic resistance with Knowledge, Commanding Aura, and Charismatic Leader all active. Using this robe on the Mage and using Mage Armor allows the Mage to become a makeshift tank-damage dealer hybrid.

While much superior defensive-wise than the Spellthread Robe, the Spellthread Robe has better offensive potential, having a base attack boost and a 10% damage boost applied to all magic attacks. The Aetheron Robe is better suited for tanking (such as on a support Mystic), while the Spellthread Robe is better suited for damage dealers (such as Mage or Archmage). Depending on circumstances the bonus crit chance may also be beneficial for Kensai.
Earthquaker

*"Giant hammer powerful enough to shake the entire ground"*

The **Earthquaker** is the tier 1 epic Two-Handed Hacking weapon. It is preceded by the super-rare Pulverizer and succeeded by the tier 2 epic, The Unmaker.

## Requirements

Blacksmith: 42

Alchemist: 20

Engineer: 40

Void Cores: 8

## Weapon status

Max Level: 62

Max Att: 161

Max Def: 136

Max Dmg: 139

## Strategy

The Earthquaker competes with the Pulverizer as the Berserker's weapon of choice prior to 55. While the Pulverizer does have higher crit chance and crit damage, the Earthquaker will do more non-critical damage as well as keep the Berserker alive longer thanks to its higher base stats and special properties. Thus, it is highly recommended to craft this weapon when you are a high enough level to obtain it.
Deadly Blade

**Deadly Blade** is the second craftable weapon uncommon of the of the One Handed Stabbing weapon crafting tree. It can also be aquiered as a random drop at any campaign battle.

## Stats max

* Level: 55
* Atc: 148
* Def: 0
* Dmg: 30

## Strategy

It is definitely an improved version of Broadsword with just a little damage below. But with a very high attack and -4% enemy dodge, makes targeting easier.

And as it drops randomly, then there's no need to create this weapon, making it perfect for the first weapon for your most offensive heroes at the beginning of your journey, and it can be for a long time until you are level enough to create rare weapons or above that.
Netherwolf Hide

*"The elusive Netherwolf is found in the frozen tundras to the north"*

**Netherwolf Hide** is a Rare Leather armor. It is preceded by the Rare Demonic Leather and succeeded by the Super Rare Breastplate of the Beast.

## Special Properties

* +10% Soul Energy
* +100 Health
* +30% Cold Resistance

## Strategy

Netherwolf Hide is easy to find from several different sources, including Wizard Tower, Catacombs, and reward chests from beating certain campaign stages. It's decent when no better gear is unlocked, but easily replaceable, so it's not worth crafting. Instead, obtain it from natural sources and equip it temporarily until you can move on to Super Rare and Epic gear.
Steel Guardian

*"Steel bars provide an even better base for this powerful defender, its weapons are also upgraded"*

## Acquirement

The Steel Guardian can be crafted using cheap crafting components and a small amount of gold. The cost scales the more you upgrade your artisans. It can also be found as a common drop in chests and campaign levels.

## Summary

* As a tank, the Steel Guardian is best placed at the front row to soak up damage while damage dealers support it.
* It has no outstanding abilities, with health as its only upside
* Stab deals physical damage, meaning attackers with high armor can reduce its damage output.
* Once further in the game, you'll most likely replace this with other machines statistically superior to it. Use it only when you don't have anything else, otherwise a material for combining machines
Frozen Wand

**Frozen Wand** it's the fourth weapon of the class Rare in which one can craft, or as an event reward, and as a random drop, for the class Wand.

## About Frozen Wand

Like other rare class wands, it has a similar attack, defense, and power of damage with good properties, having a health ammunition of 60, a further 15% resistance to ice, and finally having its type of ice damage , but it does not have the ability to freeze your opponent, but since many monsters have low resistance against ice, it may be a recommended weapon to use, until you are level enough to create Fiery Death or above her.
Fist of the Dark One

*"Ash blackened wraps channel the power of the Dark One"*

**Fist of the Dark One** is a Super Rare Fist weapon. It is preceded by the Rare Vicious Spiked Fist and succeeded by the Super Rare Claws of the Demon.

## Special Properties

* -0.2 Initiative
* 5% Faster cooldown to all skills
* +15% Stun Resistance
* Damage Type: Shadow

## Strategy

Fist of the Dark One is one of the most powerful weapons available at the level it becomes unlocked. It is the best choice for a Shaman until reaching the mid-40s when Jade Fist of Kung Huo becomes available.
Longbow

**Longbow** is the first weapon of the Common class in which one can make a graph, for the class Bow, but can also fall randomly into any random battle, except in the Wizard Tower.

## About Longbow

For a common weapon until it has a very high attack, but its damage is extremely weak, compared to the Recurve Bow, and it does not have any special property, so that's why if you drop that weapon to you, do not you need to make any kind of improvement on this weapon, expect to drop a better weapon, using that one to merge with the other.

## Strategy

* Since the weapon costs a lot of money and iron, it is not recommended construction the weapon, much less to make the conquest of "master in craft weapons", there are common weapons that cost much less resources to make that conquest.
* And as the weapon falls a lot in the field, you can accumulate enough of this weapon and make a good money with it, where by depedendo of the level of the weapon, you will receive up to 1000 Golds, much more more rewarded than weapons above the "uncommon class".
Bandit Archer

*"Forever shooting apples out of your hand."*

## Appearances

* Campaign 1: A Shadow Grows
* Campaign 2: The Poisoned Well

## Skills

* Shoot: Deals ranged physical attack to a single target

## Summary

* Bandit Archer is weak defensively but can attack at range, allowing it to hurt heroes at the back row. A hero with a taunt skill and high armor can negate this ability.
* Its attacks deal physical damage, meaning heroes with good armor can decrease its damage potential.

Stout Guardian

## About

 **Machine Type:** | Tank

*"Simple yet effective, a giant wooden guardian."*

 Ice resist
 Poison resist
 Shadow resist

## Acquirement

The Stout Guardian can be crafted using cheap crafting components and a small amount of gold. The cost scales the more you upgrade your artisans. It can also be found as a common drop in chests and campaign levels.

## Skills

* Stab: Deals physical damage
* Shield Self: Gain bonus health

## Summary

* As a tank, the Stout Guardian is best placed at the front row to soak up damage while damage dealers support it.
* It can gain bonus health with its Shield Self skill, providing a temporary barrier that prevents it from getting damaged. When unharmed for long, it can be tougher to lower its health when the skill is stacked repeatedly.
* Bash deals physical damage, meaning attackers with high armor can reduce its damage output.
Doomblade

Doomblade is the tier 1 epic Two Handed Slashing weapon. It is followed by the tier 2 Reaver's Blade.

## Requirements

Blacksmith: 43

Alchemist: 43

Engineer: 40

Void Cores: 9

## Strategy

Doomblade has the highest dmg statistic of any tier 1 weapon, although its stats are mixed with defense, so its attack stat isn't higher than other offensive epic weapons. It's an unorthodox item to craft as the Samurai and Templar are typically used defensively at lower levels (for which the super rare weapons are better), but with enough investment in these heroes' stars Doomblade should deal noticeable damage. The vast majority of players however wait for the tier 2 epic to play to these heroes' damage potentials.
Dragonhide

**Dragonhide** is the second uncommon armor for the leather class.

## Special Properties

* +5% Soul energy
* +5% Magic resistence

## About Dragonhide

It may not have as much stamina as it has Squire's Jerkin, but compensates for containing much more armor, as well as offering 5% more soul energy and magic resistance. It is perfect for a beginning hero, in case the armor is dropped, at least until you are level enough to create much better armor.
Squire's Jerkin

*"Made to protect squires on their masters' errands"*

**Squire's Jerkin** is the first Uncommon Leather armor, obtainable via Crafting and Egg Hunt. It is preceded by the Common Studded Leather and succeeded by the Uncommon Dragonhide.

## Strategy

Although he has a very high defense and gives you 35 health, Jerkin is one of many early gear pieces which simply isn't worth crafting. A better option is to take advantage of random item drops, such as Dragonhide, and save the resources for better gear.
Giant Zombie

**Giant Zombie** is a rare class monster found in few campaigns.

## Appearances

* The Poisoned Well from 2-4
* Edge of Doom
* The Covenant

## Skills

* Bash
* Trample

## Description

Although they have extremely weak attacks and defenses, but they have a good health and good armor, which resists many attacks of lower level heroes.

They are very difficult to fall, but they can be a bit useful in the initial stages of the campaigns of Witch heroes and also of the Berserker due to its high defense and resistance, but it is not advisable to put it in the defense of the Tower, since there are many players use heroes with very high damage, or with type of damage that would quickly kill your Giant Zombie.
Raq, Orc Overlord

*"Raq leads the Orcish hordes with an iron fist, high light resistance."*

## Appearances

* Shattered Earth 4-16 (boss)
* Demonic Island 11/13 (boss)

## Skills

* Great Slash - deals physical damage to a row
* Recruits - summons an orc (half user's level)
* Slash - deals physical damage
* Fortified (passive) - immune to critical hits
* Deadly (passive) - increased critical hit chance

## Description

Raq is the boss of the fourth main campaign of the game, Shattered Earth, along with his own special week-long campaign, Demonic Island. As such, he has a weaker non-boss counterpart.

As a campaign boss, he isn't as weak as the previous three campaigns' bosses (Korgan, Marull, and Kragnor), but still isn't particularly useful. He doesn't have any shadow resistance, which makes shadow-dealing heroes (such as Necromancer, Warlock, and Blackguard when using Tendril of Shadow) effective against killing him. In regards to his other stats, while they aren't particularly low, one can craft a Runic Contruct much earlier than they can obtain Raq, and they have better stats than him. Razor Walls, which also have a crit immunity, are also usable to block single-target effects against anything behind them, unlike Raq, and have better defense and health.

As a Damage Dealer, Raq has the Deadly passive, which boosts his crit chance, making it more likely for him to deal increased damage, which can be nasty when using Great Slash (a strong physical move) against 3 low-armor heroes. He also has moderate-good attack, but not enough to justify using him in a tower by the time you can obtain him. He has 2 attacks, plus one that summons new entities, which means pairing him with Warmaster during campaigns that allow monsters (such as Treasure of the Witch) will allow him to deal damage faster, and allows more allies to be influenced by Warmaster.

His unique skill, Recruits, summons an Orc Warrior half his level. It is a completely useless skill, as even the level 80 Raq obtained by beating Demonic Island 13 on extreme will only be able to summon a level 40 Orc Warrior at most, which will still be killable very quickly both in towers and in campaigns that allow monsters, providing easy soul energy, and it counts as a move to lower how many turns are left for heroes to use their currently-recharging soul skills. In tower attacks, Raq using the skill also has the possibility of making attackers who manage to beat your tower get reduced rewards, due to the weird way towers determine rewards and how it gets influenced by summons. Therefore, it is not recommended combining multiple Raqs and Bastians on one floor if making a tower meant for attackers to beat.
