Damian is an A-level Support of the Wilder Faction. He is a support who can do healing, buffing, and debuffing. Early on, you will not see any value in his kit until you have invested enough dupes for him to be Mythic+ or Supreme+.
Let's start by talking about his ultimate, specifically the passive of it. Explode, my Chariot! the passive part lets Damian summon a toy chariot in his stead, inheriting his stats and a portion of his HP at the start of battle. At this time, Damian's existence will be replaced by the toy chariot, so if all allies die and a toy chariot is not on the field, it's a loss. Now for the active side, if there's no toy chariot currently existing in the field, Damian will summon one. If there is one, he will command the toy chariot to charge and kamikaze itself in front of enemies, then blind them for a few seconds. Damian will replenish 80 energy for every 10% max HP the toy chariot left with before exploding. Most of the time, when the toy chariot is at least at 30% of its health before it explodes, Damian will cast his ult again and make a new one.
Emergency Support! is an excellent burst healing skill if you do have the chariot on the field. If there's no chariot on the field, Damian will give himself a lot of energy—more than enough to summon one. This skill is what makes Damian amazing for PVP because of how much burst healing it does to sustain. It's a Plane! is basically an 8-second stun to the farthest enemy, which most of the time will be the enemy damage dealer. Hero Focus of ATK is mediocre because it could've been better if it'd been more healing instead.
Inventor's Will is an aura for giving Haste, but it can also be mild healing as well if you have the EX Weapon upgraded to +5. This skill will mostly be usable for your backline as for the Toy Chariot always stay in the backline no matter what, so the haste and potential healing capabilities will be on your damage dealers and other supports which is great. Solid EX skill overall. His Enhance Force is broken especially for PVP as the blind of 3 seconds from the kamikaze toy chariot becomes 7 whole seconds, which is in a PVP environment is a long time.
Best Lineup For
Thoran Tanker
Eironn Tanker
Damian Support
Arden DPS
Carolina DPS
Thoran - Tanker
Thoran has the ability to absorb damage and convert it into energy to increase his strength. Thoran's strength is directly proportional to the amount of damage he absorbs. When the accumulated energy reaches its limit, Thoran will release it, creating a counterattack with a huge amount of damage to the enemy.
Eironn - Tanker
Eironn is a character with strong combat control abilities. Eironn can summon a hurricane that gathers enemies in one location and imprisons them. Imprisoned enemies are unable to move, making them easy targets for Eironn and his teammates to attack.
Damian - Support
Damian contributes to the battlefield by creating unique combat vehicles that support his teammates instead of directly participating in combat. The simulated war machines created by Damian not only possess effective combat capabilities but also act as a powerful source of recovery, helping teammates maintain their fighting strength. Damian also has the ability to reduce skill cooldowns , allowing teammates to use skills more frequently.
Arden - DPS
Arden is a control-oriented character with outstanding combat control abilities . He can summon vines to bind multiple enemies at once, disabling their movement and attack capabilities. In addition, Arden also possesses a powerful area-of-effect damage skill that can quickly destroy multiple enemies within the area of effect.
Carolina - DPS
Carolina is an AoE damage specialist with effective crowd control. Carolina can deal massive damage to a concentrated area of enemies, while also "freezing" them, making them unable to move or attack. This crowd control effect allows Carolina's teammates to attack freely without fear of retaliation.
Recommended Artifacts
Confining Spell
After entering combat, periodically deal magic damage over time to enemies, rendering them unable to move or act.
This lineup will rely on the summoning and damage dealing abilities of 2 Main DPS, so Imprisonment Spell will help DPS safely use their skills.
How to play Damian
Damian is an interesting Support character with unique and effective support abilities. Damian possesses the ability to support teammates with technological inventions instead of directly fighting. Damian summons a simulated chariot with the skill "Exploding Chariot" that deals damage to enemies and prevents them from hitting your allies.
Damian's tanks not only have combat capabilities but also provide healing and skill cooldown reduction for teammates. Damian's flexible support ability allows him to combine with many different types of team formations.
Damian's support effectiveness depends on the strength of his teammates. If his teammates are weak, Damian's support ability will be limited. In the early game, when characters do not have many skills and strength, Damian's support effectiveness is not really obvious.
Combine Damian with strong DPS characters in the squad to optimize the support effect from reducing skill cooldown time.
