Garwood skill upgrade order

  • 1
    Initiate skill upgrades with Revitalizing Rune, taking it to level 5 before proceeding with further promotions.
  • 2
    After achieving level 5 for Revitalizing Rune, promote Garwood to level 4 to unlock his remaining 3 skills. This strategy increases the likelihood of avoiding upgrades to the second skill, "Tempered Bark," which is primarily effective in Garrison scenarios. The goal is to prioritize the enhancement of the third and fourth skills while entirely bypassing the second skill.

Garwood Hero Pairings

  • Liliya
    Madeline
    31 Tank | 16 Infantry
    Garwood

    Defensive, Tank

    Consider pairing Garwood and Madeline, a duo that boasts remarkable durability and the ability to inflict substantial counterattack damage when all bonus effects are active. Furthermore, the simultaneous application of their Physical damage bonuses can result in an astonishing 50% increase in physical damage output.

    Low to high spenders
  • Liliya
    Garwood
    31 Tank | 16 Infantry
    Eliana

    Defensive, Tank

    The synergy between Garwood and Eliana in this pairing is striking. Garwood offers widespread damage reduction, complemented by Eliana’s reduction of normal attack damage and potential 30% defense increase. This synergy effectively counters both normal attack and skill damage, both of which are often encountered. Additionally, their healing abilities grant the legion remarkable sustainability in prolonged battles. However, it’s important to note that this pairing’s counterattack damage output is relatively lower compared to other combinations.

    Free-to-play & light spenders. (Potential secondary Infantry march for Mid-High spenders)
  • Liliya
    Garwood
    Tank | Infantry
    Bakhar

    Balanced offense and defense

    The Garwood and Bakhar pairing functions similarly to combinations involving Madeline. Bakhar provides an impressive 20% damage boost for 4 seconds, along with substantial physical attack and defense stat enhancements. When defending a city you gain heightened healing received – a synergy that complements Garwood’s healing rage skill. Given Garwood’s healing capabilities, this setup effectively utilizes Bakhar’s awakening skill, which inflicts hero skill damage to adversaries during counterattacks when your legion’s health drops below 50%.

    Free-to-play & light spenders.

Garwood Talent Builds

  • Garwood+Madeline | PvP, PvE, Tank

    For various scenarios where you need to absorb substantial damage (e.g pushing chokes and bridges) and ensure your team can deal damage from a secure position, this is the go-to tank build. . Whether it’s PvP or PvE, this setup provides exceptional survivability, enabling you to endure relentless attacks.

    Defense, Reduced Normal ATK DMG Taken, Reduced Skill DMG Taken, HP

    Be the frontline. Prevent the enemy from reaching your flank. Absorb damage like a piñata or punching bag (choose your metaphor)

  • Eliana+Garwood | PvP, PvE, Tank

    This build offers unexpected durability and ample sustain through multiple healing sources and enhanced rage generation, enabling consistent casting of rage skills.

    Health > Defense > Rage Generation > Additional healing factor

    You will function as the sturdy front-line tank. As this build lacks march speed enhancements, exercise discretion in your choice of battles, as disengaging may prove challenging once you are engaged.

Artifacts for Garwood

Health, Defense > Unit Attack, Legion Attack

If you want to play a Tank role, choose Dragonscale Armor (if you will be in tight spaces), Greymar’s Warhammer or Fang of Ashkari (best used with higher march speeds to position to hit maximum targets), and Harlequin Mask (budget tank option if you lack the legendary artifacts).

If you want to play an offensive role, where you are diving into the enemy flank and positioning yourself in melee range of mages and marksman, then select Springblades or Butcher’s Blade.

Tips

  • Garwood’s fourth ability, “Thistles and Thorns,” provides a bonus to Physical Damage increase. This bonus applies to artifacts that deal physical damage. If you are utilizing an artifact that inflicts physical damage, try to synchronize its use with this bonus to enhance the artifact’s damage output.
  • When your legion benefits from the Resilience bonus granted by Garwood’s rage skill, Madeline’s Resilience will not be able to take effect. Only the more potent version will be applicable, which in this case is Garwood’s 20% bonus, as opposed to Madeline’s 10%.
