Harper: skills, upgrades and Might

Harper is a UR warrior who plays as support. Fully upgraded, he reaches 920,570 Might, rank 1 of 5 among the game's support heroes. Unlocking him takes 10 shards ( Harper Shard), and the shards become available once the Warrior Statue reaches level 20. Harper does not appear in the hero list until server day 21.

Awakening and the Exclusive Weapon follow their own schedules, unrelated to when the hero appears. The awakening tab appears on day 85 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 134 of the season.

Why he matters

Role: A support who keeps the squad standing without healing, as Vitality Bubble cuts damage on the lowest-HP ally. No other support hero lowers the damage an ally takes, while his ultimate War Flute Sound raises the attack of every hero in the squad by 15.38% with no stars and 34.5% fully raised.

Worth investing: Harper ranks first of the five support heroes by maximum Might (920,570) and sits in tier A, and he stands in 21 of the top fifty line-ups, though the game's best squad goes without a support at all. He is worth levelling the moment he appears in the list, which happens on server day 21.

Upgrade order

Skill priority: Vitality Bubble comes first, the only skill that lowers the damage an ally takes and one that recharges in just 5 seconds. War Flute Sound is next for the squad-wide attack bonus. Warrior's Anthem follows, and the auto attack Bubble comes last with the support skill, as its 747% arrive only at 50 stars.

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 ( Harper 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 (Harper Awaken Shard). At max it adds:

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

Exclusive Weapon

“Bard's Horn”, 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%

How to play

Three UR support heroes reach the same 920,570 Might, and what they do in battle is all that separates them. Harper's ultimate recharges in 14 seconds like Bell's, Nicole needs 15, and War Flute Sound raises the attack of the whole squad by 34.5%. The SSR heroes of the role, Stellar and Celia, stop at 695,511 and 691,655.

Harper enters the hero list on server day 21, and his shards do not drop before that. Awakening opens on season day 85 and the Exclusive Weapon on day 134, so the first weeks go into levels, stars and skills, while the recruit pity pays him out from the second list onward.

Awakening costs him the most: 2,870 shards for 40 levels against 975 for 50 stars, returning 425,119 HP, 12,119 ATK and 3,812 DEF. Stars matter more for the fight itself, since the 45th gives Vitality Bubble a second target and the 50th lifts Warrior's Anthem to 18%.

Harper stands in 21 of the top 50 squads, and the game's best line-up goes without a support at all. In the strongest squad that fields him he joins Arthur, Marlena, Daskal and Louis for 150.7M of survivability at a +15% bonus and 98 points out of 100. In the warrior version with Zoya the damage reduction reaches 48%, because the 20% of Vitality Bubble stacks with the 35% of Earthshattering.

Squad stats with faction bonus

24.3 M HP216,750 ATK181,241 DEF150.7 M survivability2.7 M damage/s5.0 M power

Synergy

• Faction bonus +15% to HP, ATK and DEF: 4 warriors + 1 ranger.
• Incoming damage reduced by 75% for the squad: Harper 16%, Arthur 32%, Louis 29%. The sum hits the model's 75% cap.
• Shields and healing add 13.4M survivability: Arthur, Daskal.
• Roles: 3 tanks + 1 damage hero + 1 support.

Key skills

• Harper, Vitality Bubble (every 5s): −20% 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
• Daskal, Bloodshed Defense (every 6.4s): 792% DEF shield
• Daskal, Resolute Fight (passive): 22.5% HP shield
• Louis, Force Link (every 5s): −36% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• Marlena, Skybreaker Slash (auto attack): 783% ATK damage
• Louis, Shackles (auto attack): 996% ATK damage
• Daskal, Battle Will (auto attack): 996% 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 41%.
• Daskal's main contribution: 2.0M of shields per fight, 1.2M of healing per fight. The best substitute among your heroes, Zoya, does not match it: without Daskal the squad's result drops by 11%.
• 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 9%.

When to use it

• The same squad is also your best by survivability.
• The best squad on the "Effectiveness" tab differs by the swap Harper, Marlena, Daskal, Louis → Billy, Ulfrid, Annie, Joker: it gains 2% more effectiveness but loses 0% effectiveness. Trade only when effectiveness is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max damage" tab differs by the swap Harper, Arthur, Marlena, Daskal, Louis → Red Lady, Billy, Ulfrid, Annie, Joker: it gains 33% more damage per second but loses 67% effectiveness. Trade only when damage per second is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max power" tab differs by the swap Harper, Marlena → Shadow, Ulfrid: it gains 5% more power but loses 30% 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.
