Billy: skills, upgrades and Might

Billy is a UR warlock who plays as tank. Fully upgraded, he reaches 980,246 Might, rank 6 of 11 among the game's tanks. Unlocking him takes 10 shards ( Billy Shard), and the shards become available once the Warlock Statue reaches level 20. Billy does not appear in the hero list until server day 84.

Awakening and the Exclusive Weapon follow their own schedules, unrelated to when the hero appears. The awakening tab appears on day 141 of the season: it opens for the fifteen UR heroes one at a time, one every two weeks, with the last tab on day 197. The Exclusive Weapon becomes available on day 64 of the season.

Why he matters

Role: A tank whose damage reduction reaches allies, as Fate's Thread cuts 36% of the energy damage three of them take. Those are the three highest-attack allies, and no one in the game hands allies a larger reduction. His ultimate Truth and Lies hits an area for 2,916% and gives three allies a chance to shrug off stuns.

Worth investing: By maximum Might Billy is only sixth of eleven tanks (980,246), yet he comes right after Arthur in replaceability, since the best squad without him reaches 98 out of 100. He is worth levelling as soon as he is obtained, though the wait is long, as he appears in the hero list from server day 84.

Upgrade order

Skill priority: Fate's Thread comes first, because a 36% damage cut for allies is why Billy is taken into a squad at all. Truth and Lies is next, rank 2 of 9 among tank ultimates and a guard against stuns. Puppet follows, and the auto attack Wooden Frame comes last with the support skill: 747% at 50 stars, and it does nothing for allies.

Progression

Hero levels

The hero has 150 levels, and reaching the last one costs Antitoxin 5,248,471,500. The table shows the stats at reference levels:

Stars

Reaching 50 stars takes 975 shards ( Billy Shard). Besides stats, stars unlock stronger versions of the skills, which makes them matter more than levels:

Skill levels

Every skill goes up to level 40 with Skill Badge: one skill costs 436,700 of them. The higher the level, the more hero stars it requires:

Awakening

40 levels, 2,870 awakening shards in total (Billy Awaken Shard). At max it adds:

• HP +425,119, ATK +12,119, DEF +3,812
• DMG RES +5%

Exclusive Weapon

“Puppet Frame”, upgraded to 50 stars. At max it adds:

• HP +1,251,000, ATK +8,750, DEF +8,750
• Hero DEF +10%
• Hero HP +10%
• Hero ATK +10%
• Hero Energy DMG Taken +10%
• Hero Physical DMG Taken +10%
• Hero DMG Dealt +10%

Might at full progression

Gains from each progression system on its own. They show where to invest first:

How to play

Three tanks reduce the damage their allies take, and Billy's reduction is the largest: Fate's Thread cuts 36% of energy damage, Arthur's Earthshattering 35% of physical damage, and Ulfrid's Throat Bite 27% of any damage. By maximum Might Billy trails both of them: 980,246 against 1,052,453 for Arthur and 1,033,739 for Ulfrid.

The wait for him is long. Billy enters the hero list on server day 84, his guaranteed free shards number 4, the same as Nicole, and he is absent from the summon guarantee. Saving shards for him in advance is pointless, since the hero does not exist in the game before his day.

Stars are the bottleneck. The third ally under Fate's Thread arrives at ★35 and the full 36% at ★45, which takes 675 shards out of 975. Awakening adds 425,119 HP, four times less than the 1,826,381 from levels, so shards come first in the order of investment.

Billy stands in seven line-ups out of twelve. In the best squad of the game, with Arthur, Ulfrid, Annie and Joker, the five reach 131.1M effective HP, 3.2M damage per second and +15% for four warlocks, and in the tier S squad with Arthur, Marlena, Daskal and Ulfrid 147.2M. Without Billy the best squad drops to 98 out of 100.

Squad stats with faction bonus

23.1 M HP223,649 ATK179,351 DEF131.1 M survivability3.2 M damage/s4.9 M power

Synergy

• Faction bonus +15% to HP, ATK and DEF: 4 warlocks + 1 warrior.
• Incoming damage reduced by 75% for the squad: Billy 29%, Arthur 32%, Ulfrid 14%. The sum hits the model's 75% cap.
• Shields and healing add 9.7M survivability: Arthur.
• Roles: 3 tanks + 2 damage heroes.

Key skills

• Billy, Fate's Thread (every 5s): −36% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• Arthur, Earthshattering (every 7s): −35% damage taken by the squad for 5s
• Arthur, Strong Will (passive): −9% damage taken by tanks
• Ulfrid, Throat Bite (every 7s): −27% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• Ulfrid, Sharp Claw (auto attack): 996% ATK damage
• Annie, Candy (auto attack): 747% ATK damage
• Joker, Deal Cards (auto attack): 747% ATK damage

Why this is the best combination available

• Arthur's main contribution: 32% squad damage reduction, 8.4M of shields per fight. The best substitute among your heroes, Louis, does not match it: without Arthur the squad's result drops by 36%.
• Ulfrid's main contribution: 14% squad damage reduction. The best substitute among your heroes, Harper, does not match it: without Ulfrid the squad's result drops by 16%.
• Billy's main contribution: 29% squad damage reduction. The best substitute among your heroes, Louis, does not match it: without Billy the squad's result drops by 16%.

When to use it

• The best squad on the "Survivability" tab differs by the swap Billy, Ulfrid, Annie, Joker → Marlena, Daskal, Harper, Louis: it gains 15% more survivability but loses 2% effectiveness. Trade only when survivability is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max damage" tab differs by the swap Arthur → Red Lady: it gains 13% more damage per second but loses 68% effectiveness. Trade only when damage per second is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max power" tab differs by the swap Billy, Annie, Joker → Daskal, Shadow, Louis: it gains 7% more power but loses 32% effectiveness. Trade only when power is what matters. Power is a storefront sum that ignores synergy; it decides less in a real fight.

How this is calculated

Stats are taken at full investment (level and star template, personal growth ratio, awakening and exclusive gear). Over a 30-second fight every skill casts on its cooldown, the first cast at its initial delay. Survivability = (HP + shields + healing) / (1 − damage reduction, capped at 75%). Defense and troops are computed server-side and are outside the model. Index 100 = the best squad built from all heroes in the game.
