Armanz the Magnificent

Armanz the Magnificent is a Legendary Support champion from the Barbarians faction with a Magic affinity. Known for his unique control mechanics and crowd control power, he brings a flashy and disruptive presence to the battlefield. With a specialty in managing enemy turn meters and shutting down key threats, he fits well into teams that rely on momentum and control.

In PvE, Armanz performs well in content like Faction Wars and Doom Tower waves, where controlling multiple enemies is important. His skills are especially effective in the Arena, where his ability to steal turn meter and apply Stun can quickly shift the fight.

While his damage is not high, his utility and ability disruption make him very useful. He does need proper accuracy and speed to perform at his best, especially against high-resistance enemies.

Armanz’s strongest tools are focused on crowd control. His AoE skill, Greatest Hits, not only steals all turn meter from enemies but also Stuns them if they are not under a Sheep debuff. His unique Sheep-based skill, For My Next Trick!, can change the course of a battle by turning enemies into Sheep and stripping their buffs.

The passive, Master of Ceremonies, punishes enemies even more by resetting their cooldowns whenever a Sheep expires or is removed. These mechanics make him a reliable shutdown unit against buff-heavy and skill-reliant enemies.

Compared to other Arena control champions, Armanz stands out because of his Sheep synergy and turn meter control. While others like Warlord focus on skill lock or block cooldowns, Armanz adds more crowd control options with bonus turn meter gain.

He shines most in teams that run fast and aim to disable the enemy quickly. Pairing him with speed boosters like Arbiter or Lady Kimi, or champions that can protect him while he sets up control like Nekhret the Great or Ursuga Warcaller, can bring out his full potential.

Armanz the Magnificent Best Gear

For gear, Armanz works well with the Perception set. It gives him extra Accuracy and Speed, both of which are critical for landing debuffs and cycling through his turns. This set is great for general content and Arena teams focused on control.

Stone Skin is another good option, especially in high-end Arena. It provides resistance, defense, and a powerful Stone Skin buff that can help Armanz survive long enough to land his key abilities. This is useful if you’re up against high-speed nukers or debuff-heavy teams that can remove him before he acts.

Supersonic is also a strong set if you’re running a more advanced setup. It boosts his Speed, Resistance, and allows him to gain more Turn Meter when buffs are placed on enemies. This matches well with his playstyle, especially when facing buff-heavy teams.

Armanz the Magnificent Masteries

For masteries, Armanz should take the Support and Defense trees. In the Support tree, masteries that improve Accuracy, like Pinpoint Accuracy and Eagle-Eye, are key. This helps ensure his debuffs land, especially in high-level Arena or Doom Tower.

In the Defense tree, masteries that improve his durability, like Tough Skin and Resurgent, help him survive longer against hard-hitting enemies. His role is not damage-based, so lasting through enemy attacks and applying his control skills is more important than offense.

Armanz the Magnificent Blessings

When it comes to blessings, Polymorph is a natural fit. It adds more chance to apply Sheep debuffs, which triggers his passive and disrupts enemy champions even more. It fits perfectly with his kit and boosts his control power.

Brimstone is another solid option if you want to add some passive damage. While Armanz is not a damage dealer, applying Smite can chip away at the enemy team and help wear them down during longer fights. It’s especially useful in teams that don’t rely on nukers.

Temporal Chains is also useful when fighting buff-heavy teams. It reduces enemy speed for each buff they have, slowing them down and making it easier for Armanz to go first and shut them down.

How to Get Armanz the Magnificent

Armanz the Magnificent was available as a limited-time Fusion Champion during Raid’s 5th Anniversary event in March 2024. To summon him, players had to collect and fuse four copies of Khafru the Deathkeeper, an Epic Defense champion from the Undead Hordes faction.

If you missed the fusion, Armanz can still be obtained from Ancient Shards, Sacred Shards, or Primal Shards. However, the chances are very low, as he is a Legendary champion. He may return in future events or guaranteed summon chances, but there is no fixed schedule.

Players who want him now must either save shards and hope to pull him during boosted events or wait for a future fusion re-run. Since his control abilities are unique and powerful, he remains a high-value target for Arena-focused teams.

Even though the fusion event is over, Armanz is still worth chasing if you’re looking to build a top-tier control team. His mechanics are rare, and he fills a special role that few others can match.
