Kera Deathkiss guide: skills, build and team roles
Overview
Kera Deathkiss is an Epic Dark Ranged Attacker from the Freeborn Faction in Invokers: Titan Legacy. She locks down one enemy, blinds a group and finishes whatever is left. Lovesick Disables a target, Blind Lust casts Blind on nine enemies, and Sweet Death hits harder the more HP the target has lost.
Her damage scales from ATK. Fully Awakened and before Gear, Kera has 694 ATK, 645 DEF and 10,081 HP, with 58 Accuracy, 46 Skill SPD and 33 Skill RECOV. Her HP is the highest of any Ranged Attacker, but her ATK is lower than most, so her damage comes from Sweet Death and her crits rather than raw numbers.
Only five Invokers cast Disable, which blocks an enemy from using its Active Skills for its duration. Blind makes enemies more likely to miss their Combo Attacks. Used together, they take much of an enemy team's offense away.
She has no healing, Shields or Taunt, and her debuffs need Accuracy to land.
Skills To Prioritize
Sweet Death, her Ultimate, hits one enemy and deals 2% more damage for each 1% of HP the target has lost. The cap is +50% at Level 1, +70% at Level 5, +85% at Level 8, +95% at Level 10 and +100% at Max Level. Its cost falls from 1,100 Mana to 1,075 at Level 5, 1,050 at Level 8 and 1,000 at Max Level.
Lovesick hits one enemy and casts Disable, blocking its Active Skills for ten seconds at Level 1 and 15 at Level 10. The cooldown falls from 30 seconds to 22 at Level 10 and 20 at Max Level. It needs Accuracy.
Blind Lust hits nine enemies within 7m of a target and casts Blind. Blind is 10% for eight seconds at Level 1, 14% at Level 6, 16% at Level 8 and 18% for 15 seconds at Level 10, rising to 20% at Max Level. The cooldown falls from 28 seconds to 24 at Level 10 and 23 at Max Level. It needs Accuracy.
Ultraviolence hits one enemy four times and casts ATK Up on her whenever a hit is critical: 25% for five seconds at Level 1, 33% at Level 5, 40% at Level 9 and 45% at Level 10, lasting seven seconds at Max Level, on a ten-second cooldown.
If you want Kera to finish targets, upgrade Sweet Death first, as its cap reaches +95% at Level 10. If you want her to lock down a key enemy, upgrade Lovesick first, as Level 10 holds Disable for 15 seconds on a shorter cooldown. If you want her to weaken a group, upgrade Blind Lust first for the longer, stronger Blind.
Build And Team Support
Build Crit Rate to around 75–80%, then as much Crit DMG as the build allows. Ultraviolence's ATK Up only comes from critical hits, so Crit Rate does more for her than raw ATK. She casts debuffs, so put Accuracy on your Chestplate and Flask and keep stacking it. Mana Gen on your Talisman gets her to Sweet Death sooner, and Skill RECOV on another piece brings back Lovesick and Blind Lust.
For Relic Sets, Crit Rate and Crit Damage Relics make her hits land harder, and Predator suits a Crit build. Accuracy Relics help Disable and Blind land, Mana Relics help her reach Sweet Death, and Fury Relics bring back Lovesick sooner. Her native Crush and Manaburn Tolerances already match Hyxxis's and Sorgott's Corruptions, so you don't need Tolerance sets there.
Pair her with a Tank and a healer, and with damage dealers who weaken targets before she finishes them.
Arena, Bosses And Spires
In Arena, Lovesick can silence a team's most dangerous Skill user while Blind Lust cuts the Combo Attack damage of the rest. Be wary of enemy Invokers with Immunity or Willpower, as they can block Disable.
Against Sorgott, Kera's native Manaburn and Crush Tolerances match both of his Corruptions, and Blind Lust's area attack helps clear his Crypt Rats. Against Hyxxis, her native Crush and Manaburn Tolerances match both of her Corruptions. Sweet Death finishes what her team has worn down.
Against Sedula, Blind Lust casts up to 20% Blind on nine enemies, which makes their Combo Attacks miss more often, including the ones that drain your Mana, and its area attack helps clear her Tentacles. Sedula changes Element every day, and Kera has Elemental Advantage on the days she is Light.
In the Dark Spire, Blind Lust and Sweet Death handle waves. Pair her with Invokers of a similar Rarity: Khrono the Timewinder, a Legendary Dark Support, speeds up your team's Skills, Ulsos the Dark Star, an Epic Dark Tank, casts Shields and ATK Down, and Zhine the Spark, an Epic Dark Support, casts Shields and DEF Down.
Awaken
Awakening boosts an Invoker's stats significantly. Bonuses from Relics, Accessories, the Trophy Room, Tactics and Titan leader bonuses apply to base stats and Awakening stats alike, so unlocking the Awakening nodes is critical to maximise Kera's potential.
Unlocking each Titan node at Star 2, 4 and 6 adds a second to Titan Invokation, taking the total from 12 seconds to 15.
