Cardiel Overview

In the enchanting realm of Teleria, Cardiel stands as a prominent figure among the Lightbringers, immortal beings forged from the cosmic dances of Lumaya and Siroth. Introduced in Patch 3.30 on February 12th, 2021, as part of the Valentine fusion champions, Cardiel embodies the struggle between light and darkness. Unlike his fellow Lightbringers, who embraced their newfound existence free of darkness, Cardiel grapples with a profound sense of loss from his warrior days. This longing is rooted in his deep love for Sicia Flametongue, a fellow immortal whose allegiance to Siroth cast them apart. Their separation and ensuing battles transformed Cardiel, stripping him of his darkness yet leaving him haunted by the past. As the war drums echo across Teleria, he emerges as both a guardian of light and a beacon of support for his allies.

Cardiel’s abilities showcase his role as a support champion. His passive skill, Fiend Warden, significantly reduces damage from the Demonspawn, Undead Hordes, and Knight Revenant factions, making him essential against formidable foes in Arena defenses, particularly teams featuring champions like Skullcrown and Sinesha. This skill triggers an Ally Join Attack, allowing him to join allies in attacking the enemy whenever they strike. Additionally, Cardiel’s basic attack skill, Cow the Wicked (A1), heals all allies each time he attacks, enhancing team survivability. This ability shines when his passive is fully booked, significantly increasing its effectiveness. He also has a Speed Aura that boosts the base speed of all allies, solidifying his position as an invaluable leader in fast-paced Arena encounters.

Cardiel’s support skills include Heavenly Host (A3) and Angelsong (A2). With Heavenly Host, he empowers allies by increasing their Critical Rate and Critical Damage before initiating an Ally Join Attack on a targeted enemy. This ability is useful in Clan Boss setups, providing an alternative for players who lack Counter Attack champions. Meanwhile, Angelsong cleanses all debuffs from allies, applies a Block Debuff effect to prevent new debuffs, and grants an unremovable Revive on Death buff, showcasing his versatility as a support champion. Overall, Cardiel is a solid investment for players looking to enhance their effectiveness in Arena Speed Teams, Clan Boss, Dungeons, Faction Wars, and Doom Tower content. As he fights for the light, he also seeks to reconcile the past, forging a path that honors both his memories and his unbreakable bond with Sicia.

Cardiel Champion Lore Synopsis

In the magical world of Teleria, two powerful beings named Lumaya and Siroth created all life through special dances. These dances gave every creature a mix of light and darkness. Among these creations are the Lightbringers and Demons – immortal beings who’ve had either their darkness or light stripped away. Our story follows Cardiel, a Lightbringer who can’t let go of his past. Unlike his fellow Lightbringers who enjoy their new, perfect state, Cardiel clings to memories of his warrior days, feeling the loss of his darkness like an unhealing wound.

Long ago, Cardiel loved exploring Teleria. During his travels, he met Sicia, another immortal who shared his fascination with mortal races. As they wandered together, Cardiel and Sicia fell in love, a feeling that made them feel whole but also confused them. Their happiness was short-lived when Siroth betrayed Lumaya, forcing everyone to choose sides. Cardiel pledged himself to Lumaya, while Sicia sided with Siroth. Despite going separate ways, their love remained strong, and in the battles that followed, they refused to fight each other.

A world-changing event then banished the immortals from Teleria. Lumaya’s followers became shining Lightbringers, while Siroth’s turned into shadowy Demons. This cosmic shift stripped Cardiel of his inner darkness, reshaping him into a being of pure light. Even in this new form, he longed for Sicia. Cardiel resigned himself to eternal loneliness in the Halls of Eternity, finding comfort only in thinking Sicia was safe in the dark realm of Anathraad.

But the peace didn’t last. Siroth attacked Teleria, and Cardiel was called to fight once more. During a fierce battle, he noticed a familiar-looking Demon. As he got closer, he realized it was Sicia. Despite their transformations and the long separation, they recognized each other instantly. In the chaos of war, Cardiel and Sicia’s eyes met across the battlefield. Their souls reached out to one another, showing their bond had survived against all odds. As the fight raged on and war horns sounded, their unexpected reunion hinted at a connection that transcended time, change, and cosmic forces. The story ends with this moment of recognition, leaving their tale open-ended as the battle continues around them.

    Just imagine 5 Cardiels for Clan Boss.. 🙂
    A real immortal team..

  2. Alek

    How on Earth did you get those speed substats of the immunity artifacts to go to (3) or (4)?? I don’t think I’ve had a single artifact that did that for speed for me.
    I am excited to have Cardiel though! Recently pulled him up…

  3. Goldenman

    Just like his appearance, he is gold everywhere. Put him on relentless gear or speed gear, make him go as fast as possible. I think relentless has much better use on him, A1 heal then gain cool down for skills.

    @Steven Sherer: Cardiel full potential truly shines when he is fully booked, especially for his passive skills. Otherwise, you won’t feel much impact and the tremendous amount of healing capabilities he can bring forth for your team! Once his passive skill is fully booked, you will notice that he can keep the team alive much longer for every attack your ally does, he has a chance to heal them at the same time!

  5. Steven Sherer

    I have Cardiel, im only a F2p player but im doing well, only have cardiel and Kael 6 starred so far. I need advice on everything really

  6. Telenil

    @Soulclenz No. The Clan Boss is not a champion, so he is not flagged as any faction.

  7. Soulclenz

    Does Cardiel’s passive to reduce demonspawn damage work against clan boss?

    It just occurred to me. Cardiel IS Godseeker Aniri reborn. She eventually found her new destiny.

    Hello @Ayumilove ,

    First of all, thank you for the guide!

    I’ve observed that in the “Campaign, Clan Boss, Dungeons” masteries section, the picture shows Defense and Support trees selections, however the text beneath refer to Offense and Support trees

    Which ones should be better for that category of content?

    Thank you!

  11. Danzig533

    Anyone having a problem with him not using his ally attack on auto in CB?

  12. Ayumilove Post author

    @Spam: I have included MurderInc’s video on Cardiel into this page!

    @jOlko: I have corrected the mistake in Cardiel’s A3 skill description. Thanks!

  14. jOlko

    There is a mistake in a sentence in his A3. It says “…teams up will all…” “should be “”…teams up with all…”
    Anyway, thx for another guide.

  15. kiwiskimo

    Cardiel is amazing. I got unlucky with books and all 4 went into A1.

    In speed + LF gear, he helped me go from 33M damage max to 43M damage max into 1 key territory for NM CB.

    He’s carried me through FW and has a permanent spot in my tag and arena teams.

    I don’t use him in the dungeons since I have other teams and he isn’t great at speed farming but he will carry your team way further than ever before!
