Release Date

Release Date
About Release Dates
This shows the release date of Vermis 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 Yellow element.

Mana Optimization Strategy
How it works
By default, Vermis 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.
