Profile

[Hero] Has a certain obsession with magic research. Acquire him after successful treatment at the clinic.

Why he matters

Role: A single-target DPS for warlock squads, as Heartbreaker Spell lands 1,841.4% of ATK every 5 seconds. That is rank 3 of 15 among the active skills of this role. His ultimate Soul Capture Spell picks up the damage on everyone around.

Worth investing: Grenwald ranks seventh of sixteen DPS heroes by maximum Might (690,773), the best figure among the SSR heroes of his role. In a warlock squad he stays the main source of damage until Annie or Joker becomes available, so early investment in him is not wasted.

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 ( Grenwald 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:

How to play

By attack Grenwald leads every SSR DPS hero: a growth ratio of 1.09 gives him 13,544 ATK at level 150 against 11,804 for Sivir and 11,431 for Ash. Heartbreaker Spell lands 1,841.4% of ATK every 5 seconds, while Ash's One Stone Two Birds gives 1,584% split across two targets.

An SSR hero carries no server age condition, and the 10 shards that unlock him come from the Warlock Statue at level 20. Grenwald is worth levelling until a warlock squad receives Annie on server day 14 or Joker, because until then the game holds no other warlock with attack of that size.

Skills are the bottleneck. Each of the four goes up to level 40 for 436,700 badges, and level 40 itself requires 50 stars, meaning all 975 shards. SSR heroes receive neither Awakening nor an Exclusive Weapon, so Grenwald stops at 782,707 HP and 17,411 ATK.

Grenwald stands in two of the best squads without a UR hero: with Lucius, Stellar, Bella and Hastar he gives 9.0M effective HP, and with Stellar, Griffith, Hastar and Ash 7.7M. The same squad with Billy in place of Bella raises that to 16.5M, and nothing better can be built around Grenwald with a single UR hero.

Squad stats with faction bonus

20.5 M HP193,040 ATK159,028 DEF120.8 M survivability2.6 M damage/s4.7 M power

Synergy

• Faction bonus +15% to HP, ATK and DEF: 4 warlocks + 1 warrior.
• Incoming damage reduced by 75% for the squad: Arthur 32%, Billy 29%, 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

• Arthur, Earthshattering (every 7s): −35% damage taken by the squad for 5s
• Arthur, Strong Will (passive): −9% damage taken by tanks
• Billy, Fate's Thread (every 5s): −36% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• 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
• Arthur, Battle Shield (auto attack): 900% 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 38%.
• Ulfrid's main contribution: 14% squad damage reduction. The best substitute among your heroes, Louis, does not match it: without Ulfrid the squad's result drops by 17%.
• 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 "Effectiveness" tab differs by the swap Grenwald → Joker: it gains 31% more effectiveness but loses 0% effectiveness. Trade only when effectiveness is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Survivability" tab differs by the swap Grenwald, Billy, Ulfrid, Annie → Marlena, Daskal, Harper, Louis: it gains 25% more survivability but loses 0% effectiveness. Trade only when survivability is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max damage" tab differs by the swap Grenwald, Arthur → Red Lady, Joker: it gains 37% more damage per second but loses 58% effectiveness. Trade only when damage per second is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max power" tab differs by the swap Grenwald, Billy, Annie → Daskal, Shadow, Louis: it gains 13% more power but loses 10% 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.
