Abbess Reference
Arena, Campaign, Clan Boss, Dungeons, Doom Tower, Faction Wars
Below is a reference of the artifacts equipped on Abbess used in all areas of the game. Abbess is equipped with Savage Set and Critical Rate Set to allow her to deal a high amount of damage by ignoring enemy defense with the aid of Savage Set, Helmsmasher (Tier 6 Offense Mastery) and 60% Decrease Defense debuff. These artifacts have high ATK%, C.RATE, C.DMG, SPD and ACC stats. The ATK%, C.RATE and C.DMG allows Abbess to deliver high amount of damage whereas ACC allows her to inflict her debuff on enemies without getting it resisted. SPD is crucial too to allow her to begin the round to inflict her Decrease Defense debuff before her allies perform the AoE nuking. The mastery and equipment setup goes well with Dragon’s Lair Dungeon Speed Run under 1 minute when teaming up Abbess with Seer, Mausoleum Mage, Renegade and a Poison champion.
Abbess Champion Lore Synopsis
The Eternal Citadel, a grand cathedral-fortress nestled in the mountains west of Kaerok, serves as the heart of the Sacred Order. This mighty stronghold is not just a place of worship but a powerful bastion for those who follow Lumaya, their goddess. From within its towering walls, the Sacred Order governs the continent of Anhelt, overseeing numerous spiritual and military establishments. The Citadel stands as a symbol of protection and faith, and while many handle the day-to-day affairs, the ultimate authority rests with the Abbess, the queen-like figure of this holy realm.
The first Abbess rose to prominence during the Age of Hellfire, when the Arbiter called for all who were loyal to Lumaya to take up arms. This Abbess, initially the leader of a convent of nuns, became one of the first to answer the call, transforming her convent into a band of fierce warriors. She herself fought in battle with a crossbow, striking down countless Demonspawn. Inspired by her courage, other convents followed her lead, and thus the Sister Militants were born. Through her leadership, she united the convents, laying the foundation for what would eventually become the Sacred Order.
As the Sacred Order grew in strength, tensions arose between the mortal followers of Lumaya and the goddess’s immortal servants, the Lightbringers. The Lightbringers were skilled in battle, but their rigidity and lack of tactical adaptability became a hindrance in the war against the dark forces of Siroth. Recognizing this, the Abbess and others voiced their concerns, urging the Lightbringers to step aside and allow more flexible leadership. Reluctantly, the Lightbringers relinquished control, and the Abbess seized the opportunity to consolidate her power, ensuring the Sacred Order’s future.
In the years that followed, the Sacred Order’s influence spread, though not without internal strife. Those who opposed the Abbess’s vision were gradually pushed to the fringes of the organization, often sent on distant missions far from the Eternal Citadel. This strategic isolation of her rivals allowed the Abbess to strengthen her authority and secure the Sacred Order’s dominance in both spiritual and military matters. Her successors would carry on this legacy, carefully balancing the Order’s religious and political power.
The current Abbess, Eufemia Corday, continues to lead with a sharp mind and a diplomatic touch. Skilled in both martial and political tactics, she uses her influence to expand the Order’s reach, particularly in areas where its presence is weak. Like her predecessors, she wields the enchanted crossbow, a symbol of Lumaya’s favor, and has mastered the art of persuasion, often employing it in place of brute force to achieve her goals. Through cunning and strength, Corday ensures the Sacred Order remains a force to be reckoned with.

The amount of love I have for abbess can not be explained! She’s literally one of the greatest arena nukers I have for my account, just build her and you will truly understand the love for her!
I have her in full cruel gear, around 85 crit rate/ 230+ crit damage and a little over 5k attack, focus on attack/crit damage/ attack for the jewelry, she doesn’t need accuracy
Doesn’t use her a3 on auto, very frustrating because seems like a potentially good champ (not great) especially for higher lvl waves/bosses with high def/atk stats. Guessing with team setup you can get her to use it but still overall makes her way less useable & makes no sense to me why a champ wouldn’t use their aoe a3 on auto.
I just need to clarify and request we not only let naming be in each language but also every nationality cause in Australia we call her mummy 😍
Pedro, if you think she’s a nasty slut – you are the biggest virgin of us all.
@Notus15
You are calculating something wrongly
Imagine that you face a DEF based champion in Doom Tower hard with 10000 DEF.
Placing 60% Decrease defence debuff makes this 4000 DEF that is still a lot.
Then, if you make Abbess (like I have) in savage and with Helmsmasher she will ignore additional 25% from Helmsmasher + 25% from Savage + 30% from A3 (higher defence)=80% of the defence of 4000, so it will mean that she will hit an opponent that have only 800 DEF and imagine how hard that will be 🙂
Is ignore def really that good on her? It really only fully applies on her initial Mass Impalement. After that, with DEF Down applied, savage set and helmsmasher only ignore an additional 10% each.
I guess if you’re using her for arena you want to max out her MI damage, but I’m wondering if it’s as effective as Warmaster anywhere else.
@Tom Chapman Barros-Wing: Yeah, it was a typo. You can utilize a Poison champion to tackle the Dragon boss to quickly put it down.
Is the double Seer a typo here?:
“The mastery and equipment setup goes well with Dragon’s Lair Dungeon Speed Run under 1 minute when teaming up Abbess with Seer, Mausoleum Mage, Seer and Renegade” [sic]
If it is, who did you mean to replace that second Seer? (Duchess?)
Pulled this nasty ass Slut today. She any good?
Does Savage gear with Ignore DEF reduce the damage from Abbess Divine Wrath skill?
I’m surprised you didn’t show two options for masteries and have one with warmaster. Having decrease defense on a 3 turn cooldown makes her one of the best options for an aoe decrease defense champs. I built for speed and accuracy first and then crit rate/crit damage/attack and she hits pretty hard without ignoring defense. She has worked great without masteries for a good while now but in doom tower I feel like almost everyone needs to have warmaster or giant slayer to kill the bosses. Now that they nerfed attacks that scale off max hp, warmaster and giant slayer seem more important than ever. Obviously if I think I need warmaster I can go warmaster because nobody’s forcing me but when you list one option for masteries and say it works in every area of the game, it make me think I should try helmsmasher and see if it will actually help with doom tower. Sorry for the rant lol.
@Chris
Yes she is worth it even without books. Books just add minor dmg to his a2 and a3
Is this character worth leveling up without Books?
It appears her A3 doesn’t trigger on auto against single targets. She’ll just spam her A1 until Decrease Defense drops off and then she’ll do her A2. Her A3 obviously hits considerably harder, so it’s a bit of a shame.
Why Sniper? It seems completely wasted on this champion?
When dragon uses his “Inhale” he’s getting significant ATK boost and her A3 deals increased damage compared to using the same ability outside of this short window of time
@Dagon, yes and no. if you ignore attack your a2 will be not powerful and also a3 will not hit any good characters that don’t have much def/atk.
@Simon, don’t hit arena in auto and you are safe 😀 As for dungeons, my abbess still goes through it easily and quickly
@ Lord Bronx, sleep option is removed with ascension of character. And if you want to see overpowered better take a closer look on Trunda 😉
She was my best damage dealer before buff and I love her even more after it 🙂 Now thinking to lower the attack from 5000 to somewhere 3000 and put the set savage on adding more accuracy as well.
I think this character’s A3 is ridiculously overpowered. I hope that the sleep buff remains as it is, the only way the average team can stand up to this character in arena is if she misses the occasional turn due to sleep. Only my Drokgul could survive because of extra turns.
I don’t know if anyone notice but since patch 2.20, Abbess is using her A3 first instead of her A2 on auto. It doesn’t make sense at all. In general her damage got up but her AI make this buff look like a nerf. It takes more time to clear dungeons on auto and my arena team took a hit too
Have you had a chance to look at her after the 2.2 buffs? Interested how the buff to A3 plays out.
If you have 2500 and the opponent has 3500 atk.
Does that mean Abbess would hit with 3500 atk + your crit damage? (Assuming crit rate = 100%)
If that’s the case, you should completely ignore atk and get your crit damage as high as possible.
I dont like that when you ascend her her sleep debuff just disappears, i think ist would be way cooler If she gets an extra turn when she gets hit while asleep and maybe guaranteed critical hit but eh
I`m so unlucky with shars so i dont have Gorgorab, Skullcrown or Arbiter. I maxspeed Shirimani -> Doompriest -> Stag Knight and then A2 Abbess comes. With 280 spped and 220 acc Shirimani freeze 9 times of 10 all enemy team and Mass Impalement annihilate everything. I jumped from 3000 to 3600 arena rating in a row. Still far away from platinum, but w/o speedbuffers it`s impossible.
6/5 Arena offence for me.
I am so sorry but I don’t see her value for Spiders?
Yes she has the Def down but thats really all she brings to the table or am I missing something?
par contre quand elle lance son courroux divin elle subit un sommeil un bug ? ou c’est normal ?
You have to ascend her
I have Abbess and she has a sleep debuff added Divine Wrath. So every time she casts Divine Wrath she falls asleep and loses one turn. So annoying, is this a bug and is actually supposed to place the debuff on the target and not herself?
@all: I have added a new Abbess champion guide by MurderInc Raid into this page!
Abbess is a monster in Arena, She takes out teams like hot knife through butter.
It was my first Legendary, currently the best one. With her A2 she hits very painful and her A3 is a death for tanks with high Defense as “proportional to either this Champion’s ATK or the target’s DEF or ATK stat, whichever is highest.”
With current 3800 ATT and 173% Crit Damage (which can be better) she often oneshots the whole team herself especially with Inc Att support by Seeker.
And moreover her basic Defense stat is pretty high so she survives well.
She does great for me in Arena, she is my farmer in 12-6, she cleans dungeons (especially first turns)
Interesting, she’s guarding my vault right now. I will gear her and see how she performs, thanks!
@GoTo: Her AoE attacks from A2 and A3 hits like a truck in Arena, Campaign, Dungeons and Faction Wars. Build her with heavy Critical Damage and Critical Rate and you will see her 1 shot KO enemies when your first champion lays down the Weaken and/or Decrease Defense debuff.
May I ask why Abbess is max stars for both Arena teams? Her chance to apply decrease defense is so low…
