Garnet – New Dark Elemental Unit

Garnet is a Legendary rarity Dark elemental unit from the Holy Light Faction. Garnet is going to be specifically targeted towards PvP content as her passive ascension lets her self-revive upon death. She also demands to be built with lots of speed as she needs to take the first turn to use her AOE Sleep and No Positive Effect debuffs. Her damage also scales according to her Speed which is an added incentive to build her with more Speed. Her Trait Stardust states that Garnet gets 1 rage whenever any ally uses their ultimate ability or special ability after she dies on the battlefield. Garnet will instantly self-revive with 50% MAX HP and reduced ability cooldowns when she gets 3 stacks of rage. Garnet’s basic ability Meteor Slam is a single targeted damaging ability whose damage scales according to her Speed and the damage ricochets between 2 enemies, dealing damage to a total of 3 enemies. 

Her special ability Curtain of Heaven is a single targeted damaging ability wherein Garnet launches 3 different hits to 3 random targeted enemies, with each hit having a chance of removing a buff or inflicting Defense down debuff for 2 turns if the target has no buffs. The damage of this ability scales with her own Speed. Garnet’s ultimate ability Astra Doomsday is an AOE targeted damaging skill that deals damage to all enemies and has a 100% chance of inflicting No Positive Effects for 2 turns plus a 50% chance of inflicting Sleep debuff for 1 turn. The damage dealt by this skill depends on the difference between the Speed of the caster and the target. We recommend building Garnet on Raider and Rebel Set with a focus on Speed, Attack%, Critical Hit Rate%, and Critical Hit Damage% as stats.
