Riverfang Review: The Smug Sorcerer Who Wets Your Enemies
"Riverfang walks into the arena with the smug confidence of a fox who knows he's better than you. With a Fast-speed priority dispel, a hitting power that rivals snipers, and a nasty habit of amplifying water damage, he's the blue hero everyone wants but few can catch. We break down why this Covenant Summon exclusive is a top-tier threat."
Special Skill

Vicious Cyclone
- Dispels buffs from target and nearby enemies.
- Deals 400% damage to the target and nearby enemies.
- The target and nearby enemies receive 540 Water damage over 3 turns. The caster absorbs 50% of the dealt Water damage as health.
- The target and nearby enemies take lasting +50% increased damage from status ailments and negative stacks. (This effect lasts until it is cleansed, replaced or removed.)

Release Date

Release Date
About Release Dates
This shows the release date of Riverfang in Empires & Puzzles. This date determines eligibility for various game events like Hero Coach (2 years after base hero release) and Visiting Outfitter (549 days after release for the first costume).
Hero Coach Info
Hero Coach Date
How it works
By utilizing the Hero Coach, you can reach the Maximum Ascension of a Legendary hero instantly. This bypasses the requirement for rare 4★ Materials (like Alpha Aethers and Damaskus Blades) and ignores the traditional leveling time.
Visiting Outfitter Info
Visiting Outfitter Date
No Costumes Available
This hero does not currently have any costumes in the game. As a result, they do not appear in the Visiting Outfitter events.
Matching Legendary Troops


















These troops provide full Class Synergy bonuses when equipped on Cleric heroes of the Blue element.

Mana Optimization Strategy
How it works
By default, Riverfang has Fast mana speed, requiring 8 tiles to charge. Equipping troops with a Mana Bonus can reach specific Breakpoints — the exact percentages where your tile count drops — allowing your hero to fire their special skill faster, with less tiles. Additionally, as a Cleric, this hero can unlock a +2% Mana Bonus through Emblems (Talent Tree). These bonuses can significantly lower the troop level required to reach these breakpoints.
