Waldyr is an ice mage of the League of order faction. He excels at leading magic units, PvP, fighting other Lords in the field, and has access to the skill tree, which excels at dealing heavy damage with rage skills. He is a great AOE commander and once awakened can do damage to up to four legions at a time.
Rage Skill
His rage skill, ice breath. Deals magic skill damage to the target Legion and two legions surrounding it. Damage factor 600 and inflicts gloom on them, reducing their attack by 20% for two seconds. This is particularly good for an epic hero, not only doing skill damage to up to 4 legions once awakened but also reducing those legions damage output. So, the 4 legions will be doing less damage to any legion they are targeting.
Passive Skills
Next Skill is Passive it’s called Royal Court Mage. All magic Units in Waldyr’s Legion gain 10% magic attack and 10% HP, so the attack is going to increase damage overall. Normal attack, Counterattack, and skill damage and then also the HP is going to be good for adding a little bit of tankiness so the magic troops will be able to sustain more damage before they perish.
Next Passive skill is Frostbite. This adds an extra 15% skill damage. This is going to be really nice, especially for Heroes that have high damage AOE skills like Liliya for example.
And the last passive skill is icy veins. When skill damage is taken, grants a shield that can absorb a large amount of damage for the Legion, with a shield factor of 500. This effect can be triggered once every 20 seconds, so this again is just going to add a little bit more tankiness. He is going to be able to take a little bit more sustained damage once this is activated.
Awakened Skill
Once he is awakened, which you can do once you have upgraded all his other skills to max, he obtains tides of winter. This deals magic skill damage to up to 4 legions. So that is up to four legions will be affected by his AOE skill at 700 damage factor. It also inflicts gloom and freeze, which reduces the attack by 20% and mass speed for 20% for two seconds. So that’s up to 2800 damage factor if hitting all 4 legions. On top of that he is also reducing their attack and march speed. I think for an epic hero he is actually quite powerful. I think as far as epic heroes go this makes him one of the best if not the best in the game so far.
Upgrade Priority
As for skill upgrade priority, make sure you upgrade his first skill to level 5 first. This is very important not just for this Hero but all Heroes. Always max their first skill first before unlocking the next one.
After that on Waldyr you can upgrade your medals to level 3 and max the next 2 skills before you unlock the 4th level and upgrade it. So all first 3 levels should be maxed before unlocking that 4th skill.
Pairings
There is Liliya. Also with her AOE damage, especially when she’s awakened does damage to up to three Legions in total. With that damage factor of 1200 and also the extra magic skill damage factor of 200 you will be dishing out a lot of damage to 3 or 4 legions at a time. They also both give HP bonuses, which is going to add to a little bit of tankiness. Magic units don’t have a lot of HP to begin with, so you need to get those HP bonuses up there. In season 1 I would put Liliya as deputy, once you can upgrade her level 5 medal at level 50 and get the additional 5 talent points then I would put Waldyr as deputy and run her skill and magic trees.
If you are free to play and haven’t bought Liliya. Alwyn is a good choice I would put Waldyr in primary. I do believe that the skill tree is better than the control tree. So I would have Alwyn as the deputy. After that you could pair him with Atheus. Again, I would have Waldyr as primary and Atheus as secondary. Atheus will also increase the rage engine with his 2nd skill eye of insight and once awakened will add healing with Redemptive Healer.
Artifacts
the best artifacts for Waldyr are the tear of Arborn. Which is magic PvP and support. It adds magic unit defence and Legion defence overall, and it also gives you Divine Mercy as the skill which you can heal up to 10 legions.
Another artefact that you could use is the staff of spring which also is Magic PvP and Support. It increases magic Unit HP and then Legion HP Overall this enables you to heal one legion at a time of your choice
You could also use the freezing ring which is Magic and Tank. This gives you magic unit defence. And also gives you the skill Frost Barrier. Can give you a shield which lasts 30 seconds and makes you invulnerable during that time.
Spirit bangle is next which again is magic PvP Support. It increases magic unit HP. It also has the skill Dispel Once you cast, this removes all de-buffs and impairment effects. Personally, I think there’s better options than this one. I think that the the staff of spring is a better investment choice.
After that. You could use Breath of jargentis which is magic PvP and support. This Gives you magic unit attack and Legion attack. Skill is acid breath. It inflicts defence break on up to 10 enemy Legions and reduces their defence for 20s. You could use Phoenix which is Magic PvP and Assault. This also gives Magic unit attack and Legion attack. Its skill is Burst Strike which deals magic skill damage to up to four enemy Legions. This is a powerful artifact once you get it.
