Beware the Warlock!

It’s tomorrow! It’s tomorrow!
Tomorrow we mint the Warlock class! And what’s that you say? *cups hand behind ear*

You like to DoT, debuff and demoralize your opponents? Well look no further, your favorite class is here!

WITCHERY, WIZARDRY, WARLOCKERY?
Warlocks first emerged in the sparsely populated Dredgelands but much later in the urbanized continent of Aegis. They seem to have a dislike for areas densely populated by humans. This is reflected in the human attitude towards them. In many cities they are regarded with suspicion bordering on contempt while the reverence Dredgeland tribes display for them is near-worship.

Warlock class dragons are the masters of placing harmful effects (debuffs) on enemies. No other class gains as much from a thoroughly debuffed enemy side as Warlocks do. Nor is any class as adept at manipulation debuffs or as prolific in their application. An aggressive class specializing in Damage over Time effects (DoTs). With few direct defense mechanisms, Warlocks apply their defenses by lowering the enemy’s stats (and hence their power) while draining their life for self-heals.

Location in the Jewel.

Skill sets: Affliction, Sorcery.
Work well with: Mages, Assassins.
Advantage versus: Tankers.
Vulnerable versus: Slayers.
Prime stats: Spellcasting, Elemental Power.

On the Warlock’s right sits the mage. Essential partner for Focus Target and/or Elemental DoT strategies. On the left, the Assassin class. There are three DoT effects in the game. By default the Warlock class has access to two of them. The Assassin class offers the Warlocks access to the third DoT, the Physical damage DoT. Rest assured, no small a-gift to a Warlock class dragon.

WARLOCK UNIQUE ABILITIES
Misery
— Warlock skill — Debuff

Whenever this unit receives attack damage, copy a random debuff from it to the units above and below it.
If this unit has 4 or more debuffs, instead copy all debuffs to the unit behind it.

- Misery spreads one debuff across the frontline every time a unit under it is hit.
- But Misery loves company! With enough debuffs Misery starts spreading to units behind and with gusto!

Gray attacks Purple which has Misery. Not representative of in-game graphics.

Lower Spellcasting — Warlock skill — Debuff
Lowers the spellcasting stat of the target drastically.
-Spellcasting is used to cast and resist debuffs.

Life Drain — Warlock skill — Debuff
When damage is dealt to a unit with Life Drain on it, the attacker heals itself for a portion of the damage.
If a unit with Life Drain on it would be revived, instead remove one stack from Life Drain.
- Warlocks can essentially enable a team-wide self-heal, provided the team attacks the unit with Life Drain on it. If only there was a way to make sure your team hits a specific target …

SORCERY SKILL SET
(SHARED WITH MAGES)

Focus Target — Debuff
Enemy units ignore Taunt. Attacking enemies target this unit.
- With this debuff in place your team focuses their attacks on a single target.
- Many Warlock and Mage skills will trigger additional effects when hitting enemies under Focus Target.

Focus Target placed behind the enemy’s frontline via a clever targeting combination. Not representative of in-game graphics.

Aftershock — Debuff, Elemental DoT
Deals damage to the unit Aftershock is on.
Damage is scaled by the attacker’s Elemental Power.
- Some skills that deal elemental damage also apply Aftershock.

Aftermath — Passive
Skills with Aftermath deal more damage to targets affected by Aftershock.
- Found on skills that deal elemental damage.

AFFLICTION SKILL SET
(SHARED WITH ASSASSINS)

Doom! — Debuff
At the start of this unit’s turn, it loses HP equal to 5% of its max HP for each stack of Doom! it has.
Loss of life can not be blocked by Armor.
- The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Use Doom! against HP and/or Armor stacking enemies!

Curse — Debuff
Whenever a buff would be placed on this unit, instead remove one stack from Curse.

Misfortune — Passive
When a skill with Misfortune deals damage to a target, remove a buff at random from the target.

And that’s it! Congratulations on reaching the end and a parting gift for you!
