Commander's Tactical Evaluation

Reviewed by Don
¹ “Helsingen is an Sx28 Back-row Blackflame/Burning Archer carry designed to pair with Seraphina. His Skill 2 (Nightshadow Scorching Arrow, 70% chance) deals 285% burning damage to 2 squads and immediately settles 1 round of burn damage if the target is already On Fire. Every round when acting, Skill 5 (Dark Crossbow Brand) deals 213% burning damage to 1–3 enemy squads and applies Dark Crossbow Mark (which triggers an instant burn settlement when overlapping with Seraphina's Firearm Mark). Whenever any friendly Archer squad takes damage, Skill 8 (Blackflame Curse) cuts the attacker's damage dealt by -20% (up to 4 stacks / -80%) with a 50% chance to inflict +60% Flammable burning vulnerability (up to 5 stacks).”

Deployment Summary: Helsingen is a Ranged commander introduced in Sx28 (rated Highest Tier). Commands Archers in the Back row (with secondary flexibility in the Middle row), following an unlock priority of 8th - 6th - 7th.

² Special Mechanics & Formation Advisory

Synergizes directly with Seraphina (Sx28): overlapping Dark Crossbow Mark and Firearm Mark triggers instant Burning settlements + 2-round Null-Heal.
