Skills

Corrosion Feathers

Launches toxic feathers that deal AoE damage and apply corrosion debuff, reducing enemy defense by 10% per stack up to 3 stacks.

Dark Mist Glide

Gains evasion while flying through enemies, becoming untargetable for 2 seconds. Effective for breaking through enemy control zones.

Wing Pulse

Emits a pulse that slows all enemies in a medium radius and applies minor damage-over-time. Great for support chaining.

Aerial Supremacy

Targets flying enemies with increased damage and range. Passive skill active at all times while in air mode.

Deployment Strategy

Economy Management

  • Mid-tier deployment cost, efficient for wave 5–15 setups
  • Pair with farming units (e.g. Coin Genie) to accelerate upgrades
  • Invest early to unlock Corrosion Feathers for map-wide debuffing

Team Composition

  • Best with poison amplifiers like Plague Mage or Curse Alchemist
  • Works well behind tanky frontlines (e.g. Steel Sentinel)
  • Combos strongly with units that benefit from weakened enemies (e.g. Reaper)

Map Strategy

  • Ideal for maps with multiple air lanes or winding paths
  • Position near curve entrances to maximize AoE coverage
  • Avoid narrow ledges where flying AI may reduce effective DPS time
