Tenso the Fixer guide: skills, build and team roles
Overview
Tenso the Fixer is an Epic Fire Melee Attacker from the Nocturna Faction in Invokers: Titan Legacy. He weakens a group and then hits it where it's weakest. Razor Cleave casts DEF Down, Hack Job casts RES Down, Drop Chop Pushes and Stuns a target, and Dragon Wings deals more damage for every debuff on each enemy it hits.
His damage scales from ATK. Fully Awakened and before Gear, Tenso has 810 ATK, 721 DEF and 8,035 HP, with 60 Accuracy. Those are ordinary numbers for an Epic, so he needs a Tank and a healer.
Dragon Wings hits nine enemies within 7m three times, and each enemy takes more damage for each debuff it carries, up to +300% at Max Level. That's why his own debuffs matter, and why he pairs well with Invokers who cast more on the same group. Only eight Invokers Push, and Drop Chop's Stun lasts seven seconds at Level 10.
He casts no Burn or Bleed, so he's not hurt by Bosses that resist those, but a Boss immune to Control Debuffs removes Drop Chop's Stun. He has no healing, Shields or Taunt, and his debuffs need Accuracy to land.
Skills To Prioritize
Dragon Wings, his Ultimate, hits nine enemies within 7m three times and deals more damage for each debuff on the target. The bonus per debuff is 20% at Level 1, 30% at Level 6, 38% at Level 10 and 40% at Max Level, and the cap is +150% at Level 1, +200% at Level 6, +250% at Level 9 and +300% at Max Level. Its cost falls from 900 Mana to 875 at Level 5, 850 at Level 8 and 800 at Max Level.
Razor Cleave hits nine enemies in a 6m semicircle in front of him and casts DEF Down: 22% for 12 seconds at Level 1, 24% at Level 4, 28% at Level 8 and 30% for 14 seconds at Level 10, lasting 16 seconds at Max Level. The cooldown falls from 29 seconds to 25 at Level 10 and 23 at Max Level. It needs Accuracy.
Drop Chop hits one enemy, Pushes it 7m away and Stuns it. The Stun lasts three seconds at Level 1, four at Level 4, five at Level 6, six at Level 8 and seven at Level 10. The cooldown falls from 28 seconds to 24 at Level 10 and 22 at Max Level. It needs Accuracy.
Hack Job hits one enemy and casts RES Down: 15% for four seconds at Level 1, 28% for six seconds at Level 10 and 30% at Max Level, on a ten-second cooldown. It needs Accuracy.
If you want Tenso to wipe out groups, upgrade Dragon Wings first, as its bonus per debuff and its cap both rise to +300% at Max Level. If you want him to boost your team's damage, upgrade Razor Cleave first, as DEF Down reaches 30% for 14 seconds at Level 10. If you want him to control a single threat, upgrade Drop Chop first, as Level 10 reaches a seven-second Stun.
Build And Team Support
Build Crit Rate to around 75–80%, then as much Crit DMG as the build allows. He casts debuffs, so put Accuracy on your Chestplate and Flask and keep stacking it. Mana Gen on your Talisman gets him to Dragon Wings sooner, and Skill RECOV on another piece brings back Razor Cleave.
For Relic Sets, Crit Rate and Crit Damage Relics make his hits land harder, and Predator suits a Crit build. Accuracy Relics help his debuffs land, Mana Relics help him reach Dragon Wings, and Fury Relics bring back Razor Cleave and Drop Chop sooner. His native Bloodrot and Mana Shock Tolerances already match Sakiel's Corruptions, so you don't need Tolerance sets there.
Pair him with a Tank and a healer, and with Invokers who cast debuffs on the same group, since each debuff adds to Dragon Wings.
Arena, Bosses And Spires
In Arena, Razor Cleave and Hack Job strip a team's defenses, Drop Chop removes a threat for seven seconds, and Dragon Wings punishes the whole group. Be wary of enemy Invokers with Immunity or Willpower, as they can block his debuffs and Stun.
Against Sakiel, Tenso's native Bloodrot and Mana Shock Tolerances match both of his Corruptions, and Razor Cleave's DEF Down and Hack Job's RES Down raise your team's damage and help its debuffs land. Against Earth Omnissi, his native Bloodrot Tolerance covers one of her Corruptions, and against Dark Omnissi and Koltmos his native Mana Shock Tolerance covers one of theirs. Ulgorim and Hyxxis are immune to Control Debuffs, so Drop Chop's Stun won't land there.
Against Sedula, Razor Cleave casts up to 30% DEF Down and Hack Job up to 30% RES Down on her, which raises your team's damage and helps its debuffs land against her high RES. Dragon Wings and Razor Cleave each hit nine enemies, which helps clear her Tentacles, and Dragon Wings hits harder for each debuff your team has cast. Sedula changes Element every day, and Tenso has Elemental Advantage on the days she is Earth.
In the Fire Spire, Razor Cleave and Dragon Wings handle waves. Pair him with Invokers of a similar Rarity: Lazenne, an Epic Fire Tank, casts Shields and Heal Reduction, Custodian Plumia, an Epic Fire Support, heals and casts Immunity, and Ozmol the Vulcanist, a Legendary Fire Ranged Attacker, casts ATK Down 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 Tenso'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.
