Hero Review
Desmond Review: The Jade Blade Silencer
"Desmond is the Jade Bladed Jabberwock of the Super Elemental family. He hits the edges, he silences the wings, and he heals his friends. But with stats from early 2024, can this dashing duelist still cut it against the monster stats of today? We analyze his edge-case utility."
Special Skill

Jade Blades
- Deals 480% damage to the enemies of the edges of the enemy formation. If there is only one enemy alive, the damage is doubled.
- Boosts the caster's and nearby allies' health by 20% of the damage dealt.
- For each hit Ice enemy, the boosted health is 40% of the damage dealt to them.
- The enemies on the edges of the enemy formation get silenced for 3 turns. Against Ice characters, this status effect becomes uncleasable and lasts 2 turns longer.
