## Hero Guide

### Summary

Green New King Arthur is one of the best PVE-specific units in the game. His Unique Ability allows your team to receive less damage while the team deals more damage in return. While he himself can fall short of dealing good damage on his own, his primary purpose is to support with his Unique Ability. The only problem with his Unique Ability is that it will be lost if anyone on the team, including himself, dies. However, due to how easy it is to get this character, he is an excellent choice to invest in for new players. He has been given out for free in multiple events. Remember that his Unique Ability does not work in PVP or Death Matches.

### Pros

* Unique Ability increases allies' damage dealt by 35% and decreases allies’ damage taken by 35% if all allies are alive
* Great for PVE content such as Tower of Trials or Demonic Beast Battles.

### Cons

* Unique Ability does not work in PVP or Death Match
* If an ally dies, Unique Ability is lost
* Old stats make this unit weak in damage dealing
* Forced to use this unit in the front, which is not ideal

### Skill Review

**Typhoon Slash** - At rank 2, this skill can disable Buff and Debuff skills, while a rank 3 skill can remove Buffs on top of that. This skill deals very little damage, but the effects of the card can be good under niche conditions.

**Silent Slash** - This skill is quite weak. No special effects and a low multiplier. Combine that with old stats and this skill does not help you unless you are farming.

**Ultimate: Legendary** - When maxed out, this Ultimate can deal good damage if Arthur can Crit against the enemy. If not, this Ultimate deals weak damage.

**Unique: The Great Cause** - The only reason you run this unit is for this Unique Ability. Reducing received damage and increasing damage dealt by a whopping 35% is very noticeable. It is especially useful if you find your units needing extra help sustaining themselves.

### Usage

**Equipment Set**

* Life (HP) / Iron Wall (Defense)
	+ Sub-stats are as follows:
		- Bracelet/Ring - Attack
		- Necklace/Earring - Defense
		- Belt/Rune - HP

This equipment set is recommended because Arthur only needs to survive, not deal damage. So, giving him the most HP and Defense possible is the ideal way to build him gear.

**Tower of Trials** - Arthur’s Unique Ability is active in this activity, and he can allow you to clear it much faster if he is accompanied by other suitable DPS

**Final Bosses** - Arthur’s Unique Ability is active in this activity, and he can help your units survive much easier.

**Hraesvelgr/Eikthyrnir** - Arthur’s Unique Ability is active in this activity, and he can help your units survive much easier. He isn’t an ideal choice for them anymore, but if you are simply starting out, then he is a good substitute if you lack better units.

**Training Grotto** - Arthur counters Speed (Blue) stages.

## Story

Before becoming a king, Arthur was a simple child who was adopted by a man who happened to be a Holy Knight and had an adopted older brother named Kay. Kay harbored a hatred for the young boy. Once, while they were children, Kay took Arthur's sword and offered to give it back to him if he crushed an apple with a stick whilst blindfolded and in the middle of a gorge on one of several platforms.

Arthur completed this challenge with ease. Kay was furious at Arthur's skill and tossed the sword at him which lead to Arthur falling down unfazed while Kay smiled. However, Arthur was saved by a strange Holy Knight who was shocked and amazed at how Arthur managed to be brave and fearless whilst falling to his doom. He was also impressed as to how Arthur forgave his brother, even telling him he should be a king instead of a Holy Knight like their father. Arthur was shocked until it was revealed that he was Bartra Liones, the 11th king of Liones, as he wondered if he was never going to be a Holy Knight as the king of Liones and his two escorts, Slader and Hugo, left for a meeting with King Uther Pendragon.

During the Introduction arc, Arthur is rumored to have just became the new king of Camelot by the drinking patrons at Boar Hat in the small town of Bernia. In Camelot, a giant sword fell from the sky to the Earth, where people believed that it was a holy sword sent from God. Every Holy Knight tried to pull it out, but they all failed until Arthur came and successfully pulled the sword, making him the new king of Camelot.

At some point in time Arthur met Merlin, the Boar's Sin of Gluttony, who became his teacher and resolved to rescue King Bartra from the Holy Knights.

[Light of Hope] New King Arthur was given as a free UR level 80 fully Awakened unit completing all missions during The One Festival event (02/16/2021 - 03/02/2021).  His background in Seven Deadly Sins correlates well to Arthurian lore occurring in Camelot, and thus he has a relationship and Association with Merlin.  As is indicated in his introduction arc, he is rumored to have just become the new king of Camelot after having successfully pulled out a holy sword that was stuck in the ground.  Every Holy Knight tried and failed to pull it out, and thus once Arthur succeeded he was named the new king of Camelot.  Merlin, the Boar Sin of Gluttony, at some point meets Arthur and becomes his teacher and travels with him in his explorations.
