Glass Cannon

Credits: Durdin (Discord: @durdin)

This Axie build goes around the concept of "glass cannon". Being a super week but super dangerous axie build. It is designed to deliver devastating damage in a single turn. It sacrifices its survivability for unparalleled speed and skill, ensuring it can act first and deliver maximum impact. Those kind of builds shine the more with Modifiers that give extra resources pool at the start of the game.

The build revolves around a synergy of high-damage skills and shield-breaking abilities, complemented by resource conversion to enable at least two casts per turn. Skills like Cupid+ and Gram’s Fan+ ensure massive damage output, while Kestrel guarantees Shieldbreak, allowing the Axie to bypass enemy defenses effectively no matter the amount of shield they have.

Despite its low HP, this Axie compensates with strong morale and accuracy, though the latter isn’t perfect. To mitigate potential misses, the build focuses on multiple consecutive casts, increasing the likelihood of landing critical hits and maximizing damage.

This Axie pairs exceptionally well with a double-support strategy. The first support should focus on stealing resources and generating Stars to fuel this Axie’s abilities, while the second support acts as a tank, providing HP, healing, and shielding to sustain the team. Together, they create an optimal setup for this glass cannon to unleash its potential.

Kestrel stands out as a key skill in this build, providing a unique synergy. Its shieldbreak trigger ensures that this Axie can deal full damage, even during other axie's turn. This makes it an ideal companion for other shield-breaking Axies, amplifying their effectiveness and ensuring the team can consistently dismantle enemy defenses.

Below you can see an example of a known team from previous season. It uses this axie together with a plant axie carrying babylonia to provide extra star generation when shieldbreak is triggered. It is followed by an aqua support stealer, with the small difference than instead of Unko (which would be the usual triple steal build) we use incisor to increase our Shieldbreak synergy.

Primals for this Axie are obviously damage. You always wanna finish the game as soon as possible, so any other primal would not really fit this build.
