## Hero Guide

Today, he is mostly just used in specific PVE activities such as Original Demon and Howlex (in specific Amplify compositions). Unfortunately, due to his age, you won’t be using him in any PVP activities. His defensive and offensive stats are horribly out of date, meaning he can’t deal damage or take it in return. His saving grace is his Buff card, which can greatly increase the damage Amplify units can dish out, such as Dark Traitor Meliodas or Red Escanor. However, he can struggle with getting a rank 2 or rank 3 skills, so sometimes it can be recommended to bring a unit that can increase skill ranks.

### Pros

* Easy to reach full investment (Ultimate level)
* Decent niche Amplify support, especially if you use a unit with a Rank Up ability like Red Gowther or Green Halloween Gowther

### Cons

* Bad offensive and defensive stats
* Outdated Unique Ability
* Only decent in extremely niche situations (Reliant on Amplify units to justify his use)

### Skill Review

**Light Pillar** - Extremely weak skill, offensively speaking. It can help counter enemies with a Recovery skill, but this will almost never come into play as he is not recommended for PVP, and most bosses are immune to the Debuff effect in PVE.

**Royal Sword** - Red Arthur’s signature Buff skill increases his allies’ basic stats (Attack, Defense, and HP) for an increase in damage and survivability. Ideally, you’d want this skill to reach at least Rank 2 to buff all allies. At Rank 3, it can boost more stats with additional Debuff Immunity that also cleanses any existing Debuff. It is strongly recommended to bring a unit that can increase skills ranks like Red Gowther / Green Halloween Gowther.

**Ultimate: Legendary** - His Ultimate is a very weak single-target attack. Due to Arthur's low Crit Chance and Crit Damage, he almost never can Crit any modern units and even if he does, it won't deal much damage.

**Unique: Charisma** - Red Arthur’s unique ability complements well with other Human allies, increasing their HP-related stats (HP, Recovery Rate, Regeneration Rate, and Lifesteal) by 15%. Nowadays, this is a very outdated and weak Unique Ability. Many other units offer stronger Unique Abilities for humans and offer more reliable Buffs. However, Red Arthur is much easier to obtain than other units, making him a decent support unit when starting out.

### Usage

**Early PVE (Story / Farm / Boss)** - Due to the story missions being relatively simple, especially early on, Red Arthur can definitely help you at the start of the story mode. You'll want to replace him when you can as he is very limited to an Amplify team and other units do the job of Buffing Amplify units much easier. As you progress further, he can be replaced by AOE-focused heroes who can grind the farming stages more efficiently.

**Demonic Beast Howlex (Crimson Demon)** - This demon is HP-type (Green) which is weak against Strength-type (Red) heroes. Since Hell difficulty only allows the use of advantageous type heroes, Mono-Red teams are highly recommended for this Death Match. With Red Gowther’s ability to quickly rank-up Red Arthur’s buff, Red Escanor can then easily dish out huge damage with his “Blazing Sun” skill to the demon. The Mono-Red Amplify strategy is outdated, but it can still get the job done if you find yourself lacking more modern units.

**Original Demon** - Usable for Amplify compositions since Strength Attribute characters have type advantage, but not recommended if you have more favorable units like Red Summer Diane.

## 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.
