The Fiend

🕸️ The Fiend

Sadistic wardens who bind their prey in chains and curses. They revel in suppression, turning their enemies’ strength against them while enduring their fiercest blows.

🛡️ Role: Physical Tank (anti-Physical) 🎯 Complexity: ★★☆ (Moderate/High, thrives on debuff layering and attrition)


🧠 Lore

The Fiend is no mere warlock, they are the jailor of shadows. With chains forged of curses and venom, they drag foes into submission and laugh as strength becomes weakness. They do not simply endure blows, they savor them, twisting pain into power.

“Your strength is wasted on me. Let it rot.”

📚 Skill Synergy Tips

  • Fiendmark sets up Poison, enabling extra scaling and debuffs on other skills.

  • Soul Rend chains damage with both Poison and Bleeding, the more layered the target, the more it punishes.

  • Chains of the Damned creates area lockdown; combined with Fiendmark it can inflict Physically Weak, crippling melee attackers.

  • Howl of the Abyss converts your Max SP (and status conditions) into raw Physical Defense, making you stronger the more afflicted you are.
