**Durant** is an SR warrior who plays as tank. Fully upgraded, he reaches 596,226 Might, rank 11 of 11 among the game's tanks. Unlocking him takes 10 shards (:item-shard-durant: [[hero-shards|Durant Shard]]), and the shards become available once the :building-warrior-statue: [[building-warrior-statue|Warrior Statue]] reaches level 20.

## Why he matters
**Role:** A starting warrior tank, Durant holds the front line on raw HP alone and has no damage reduction. That is what sets him apart from the other tanks. He hits decently for a starting hero, with :skill-durant-3: Leap Slash at 1,057.5% of ATK ranking fourth of seven among the active skills of the role.
**Worth investing:** Durant is last of eleven tanks by maximum Might (596,226) and sits in tier C. Even so he makes it into a budget warrior squad alongside Arthur and Marlena, so a modest investment before the SSR and UR tanks arrive is reasonable.
## Skills

### Stats

## Progression
### Hero levels
The hero has 150 levels, and reaching the last one costs :res-antidote: Antitoxin 5,248,471,500. The table shows the stats at reference levels:
| Level | HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2,565 | 11 | 14 |
| 50 | 89,398 | 398 | 504 |
| 100 | 526,019 | 2,349 | 2,976 |
| 150 | 1,252,377 | 5,591 | 7,082 |
### Stars
Reaching 50 stars takes 975 shards (:item-shard-durant: [[hero-shards|Durant Shard]]). Besides stats, stars unlock stronger versions of the skills, which makes them matter more than levels:
| Stars | HP | ATK | DEF | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 43,364 | 193 | 244 | 3 |
| 25 | 128,143 | 571 | 724 | 8 |
| 40 | 249,351 | 1,114 | 1,411 | 35 |
| 50 | 357,762 | 1,596 | 2,022 | 60 |
### Skill levels
Every skill goes up to level 30 with :item-skill-badge: [[skill-badges|Skill Badge]]: one skill costs 170,200 of them. The higher the level, the more hero stars it requires:
| Skill level | Stars | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 20 | 300 |
| 10 | 30 | 1,200 |
| 20 | 40 | 6,900 |
| 30 | 50 | 18,400 |
## Might at full progression
Gains from each progression system on its own. They show where to invest first:
| System | HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero levels | 1,252,377 | 5,591 | 7,082 |
| Stars | 357,762 | 1,596 | 2,022 |
| **Total** | **1,610,139** | **7,188** | **9,105** |
## How to play
Durant trails the SSR tanks by close to a third: 596,226 Might against 778,239 for Lucius and 750,047 for Hastar. He has four skills instead of five, no passive at all, and no damage reduction for anyone. His output is still decent, as Blade Fury lands two hits of 1,224% of ATK on a 7 second cooldown.
Durant unlocks for 10 shards and waits for neither a season day nor server age, yet Lucius, Bella and Arthur carry the same conditions, so he arrives no earlier than they do. Investment in him makes sense before the SSR heroes appear and only up to a point: hero level 30 and the 40 stars that open the support skill. After that the shards belong to Lucius or Arthur.
Durant is cheaper to upgrade than the SSR and UR heroes and costs the same as the other SR heroes: his skills stop at level 30 rather than 40 and cost 170,200 badges each, 510,600 for all three, against 1,746,800 for SSR and UR heroes. Stars claim 975 shards and add 357,762 HP against a limit of 1,610,139.
Durant is missing from the general squad tables, yet he fills the budget five with Arthur, Lucius, Claire and Marlena: the full +20% faction bonus, 38.2M of survivability and 15 points of effectiveness. From the bench he pays the squad +5% to ATK, HP and DEF, half of what an SSR hero gives.
