Griffith is an SSR ranger who plays as tank. Fully upgraded, he reaches 764,263 Might, rank 9 of 11 among the game's tanks. Unlocking him takes 10 shards ( Griffith Shard), and the shards become available once the Ranger Statue reaches level 20.

Why he matters

Role: A ranger tank with the hardest-hitting skill of the role, as Venomous Bite lands 2,303.4% of ATK. It ranks first of seven among tank active skills. His ultimate Serpent Veil cuts monster damage by 39%, second only to Bella's Crimson Prayer at 45%.

Worth investing: Griffith ranks ninth of eleven tanks by maximum Might (764,263) and sits in tier B, and his damage reduction is tied to monsters, so it does less against other players. Early investment pays off on hunts and in a ranger squad, after which the front line goes to the UR tanks.

How to play

Among the four SSR tanks Griffith stands third by maximum Might at 764,263 against 778,239 for Lucius and 773,500 for Bella, with only Hastar below him at 750,047. His Venomous Bite, however, lands 2,303.4% of ATK and beats Lucius's Decapitation with its 1,874.4%, and the same skill returns every 5 seconds.

Griffith carries no server-age condition and is available from the earliest days, as soon as the Ranger Statue reaches level 20 and opens his shards. The UR ranger tanks arrive much later, Shadow on server day 7 and Louis on day 63, and until then the ranger front line belongs to Griffith, the only tank of his faction below UR rarity.

An SSR hero has neither Awakening nor an Exclusive Weapon, so Griffith's ceiling comes from two sources: levels give 1,478,501 HP and stars add 422,357, for 1,900,858 in total against 4,717,490 for Daskal. Skill Badges cost the same as for a UR hero, 436,700 per skill, and Venomous Bite only reaches 2,303.4% at 45 stars.

Griffith appears twice in the squad review, both times beside rangers. With Bestar, Hastar, Ash and Louis the squad gains +15% to its stats and withstands 16.8M damage before it falls. The faction works in his favor as well, since rangers take 20% less damage from warriors.

Synergy

• Faction bonus +10% to HP, ATK and DEF: 3 warriors + 2 rangers.
• Incoming damage reduced by 75% for the squad: Arthur 32%, Harper 16%, Louis 29%. The sum hits the model's 75% cap.
• Shields and healing add 12.8M survivability: Arthur, Daskal.
• Roles: 4 tanks + 1 support.

Key skills

• Arthur, Earthshattering (every 7s): −35% damage taken by the squad for 5s
• Arthur, Strong Will (passive): −9% damage taken by tanks
• Daskal, Bloodshed Defense (every 6.4s): 792% DEF shield
• Daskal, Resolute Fight (passive): 22.5% HP shield
• Harper, Vitality Bubble (every 5s): −20% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• Louis, Force Link (every 5s): −36% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• Louis, Shackles (auto attack): 996% ATK damage
• Daskal, Battle Will (auto attack): 996% ATK damage
• Harper, Bubble (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, Billy, does not match it: without Arthur the squad's result drops by 42%.
• Louis's main contribution: 29% squad damage reduction. The best substitute among your heroes, Billy, does not match it: without Louis the squad's result drops by 9%.
• Harper's main contribution: 16% squad damage reduction. The best substitute among your heroes, Ulfrid, does not match it: without Harper the squad's result drops by 8%.

When to use it

• The best squad on the "Effectiveness" tab differs by the swap Griffith, Daskal, Harper, Louis → Billy, Ulfrid, Annie, Joker: it gains 54% more effectiveness but loses 0% effectiveness. Trade only when effectiveness is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Survivability" tab differs by the swap Griffith → Marlena: it gains 11% 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 Griffith, Arthur, Daskal, Harper, Louis → Red Lady, Billy, Ulfrid, Annie, Joker: it gains 80% more damage per second but loses 50% effectiveness. Trade only when damage per second is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max power" tab differs by the swap Griffith, Harper → Shadow, Ulfrid: it gains 9% more power but loses 0% 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.
