Flail

Flail Basics

The Flail is a dynamic weapon with a chain to extend the reach of its attacks.

The Flail is strongest when used to support allies while fighting alongside them and can be used with a Shield for extra defense.

The Flail uses a variety of strike and arcane magic attacks. Despite dealing less damage compared to other weapons, the Flail’s oppressive, supportive, and defensive nature will allow the wielder to stand out as a force to be reckoned with while in a fight.

Flail & Shield Attributes

The Flail’s power scales off both the strength and focus attributes.

The strength attribute provides the most damage scaling. Focus exclusively controls the power of healing and support buffs, but still provides some scaling to damage.

Flail Mastery

The Flail has two ability trees to allocate points into. Choose between a variety of abilities, upgrades, and passives from the Cleric or Bastion trees.

Cleric Tree

The Cleric tree primarily focuses on offensive attacks and support abilities. Each ability’s final upgrade is support focused and scales using the focus attribute.

Bastion Tree

The Bastion tree provides defense and support for your allies through your own survivability. This tree shines when you want to be able to take on a formidable force thrown at you or your group.

Flail Ultimates

The ultimate ability for the Cleric tree, Better Together, grants you and all nearby allies passive healing when you are nearby. Be sure to group up when this ultimate is active.

The ultimate ability for the Bastion tree, Human Shield, actually turns you into a human shield when you hit a target by absorbing some of the damage a nearby ally would otherwise take. Stick close to your allies and be ready to attack with an ability when they start to take damage to ensure this ultimate is used appropriately.

Tanking with Flail & Shield

You can tank using Flail and Shield by using a Carnelian gem in your Flail to activate certain taunt abilities. Taunting non-player enemies will cause them to focus on you, allowing your allies to capitalize on the enemy’s focus. Keep an eye out the “Taunt Gem Compatible” text in ability tooltips to learn what abilities can trigger taunts.
