   Rick, it still costs me 800 gems.

   my opinion: after getting this champ several times still have not changed my opinion, but with no 5* ratings and 15 tomes, way too much trouble to work with

   Pretty sure she could be paired with Helicath as much as with Maneater.
5. Rick July 19, 2022 at 7:03 AM

   Ayumi you said resetting skills cost 800 gems after the free one. That’s incorrect. It’s 150 gems.
   Painkeeper is an excellent champion and I think you underrate her.

   Hi very new to this but why so much speed for her. On Auto I keep seeing her use A2 or A3 off the bat and if she has high speed and goes first both are a waste? She needs to last in the team for A3 to work best. What am I?
7. jim June 28, 2022 at 11:18 AM

   Yes, two Pain Keepers reduce each others cooldowns.
8. Cpasfautpapou June 8, 2022 at 12:15 AM

   With 2 Pain Keppers. the A3 of the second works on the A3 of the first ?

   Just completed Doom Tower Secret Room 5 Normal with Scrapper, Dagger, Geargrinder, Coldheart, and Pain Keeper. The last one standing was Pain Keeper and cleared the last round all alone. Coldheart was not good, too squishy which was a surprise.

   Regarding Pain Keeper, leveled at 60, Fully Booked and Ascended, and wearing 2 sets Immortal and 1 set speed. Outstanding character.

    Really stupid that her skills all base differently, one from atk,hp and atk,def……lose, lose
11. Timbo23 November 30, 2021 at 11:09 AM

    @jim…. not “accidently” misleading……Im pretty sure it was on purpose
12. Keep September 24, 2021 at 9:51 PM

    Doing faction war. Pain Keeper could be super good in this. Dark elves are lack of healer, she could be the great option. I took her to level 21 with level 40, Build her fast and high HP. Super useful at end game.

    The subsequent mastery resets cost 150 gems.
    Purchasing all scrolls for gems costs 800 gems.
    I guessed you mixed those two up.
14. Ayumilove Post authorJuly 7, 2021 at 11:16 PM

    @Phillip Butler: Yes, you can reset the champion’s mastery in the Champion Mastery Window for free for the first time, and subsequent reset will cost 800 gems! The reset mastery button is located at the top of the mastery tree (e.g. The reset icon is located on the right side of the title “Defense”, if you have chosen some Defense masteries under that Defense Tree).
15. Phillip Butler July 7, 2021 at 9:38 PM

    so what if you had no idea of this site and setup was wrong with masteries can you remove them and start again
16. Ayumilove Post authorJune 15, 2021 at 10:43 PM

    @CFisher: I have added Painkeeper mastery used for Bateater Clan Boss team setup 🙂
17. CFisher April 24, 2021 at 9:20 PM

    Can you put up a BatEater masteries?
18. craig down April 8, 2021 at 10:39 PM

    @jim

    when a skill has Heal +x% in this case it’s worked out like this

    15+35% which is 5.25 so it comes out as 20.25% not 50%

    so 49310+20.25% is 9985.275 heal
19. Jim March 22, 2021 at 9:23 AM

    Thanks much for maintaining this site ! It is a great resource. Best one in my opinion.

    I am juicing this champion up with HP to use in FW but it seems that there are two provisos. First, the healing books don’t seem to change 15% to 20%, 25%, etc. Instead they only increase the 15% by 5% = .15 * 1.05=.1575 or 15.75%. This is also true of the shield books.

    The second proviso is that the final multiplier seems only to apply to the max HP of the stock champion, not including additional HP added by artifacts like a level 16 HP % chest plate, etc.

    My PK is fully booked and at lvl 53 at the moment. Total HP from the stock champion is 18,150. Total HP with artifacts is 49,310. With books, my heals should be 15+35=50% of 49,310 = 24,665.

    My actual heals are 10,484, which is only 21% of my total max HP.

    This makes sense if you figure .15 base * 1.35 Books = .21, or 21%.

    It is 57% of the stock HP of 18,150 – a difference probably accounted for by masteries. I am not sure if this is a glitch with the game but is instead an accidentally misleading description of the skill rules for the character skills in the game since it is a problem on other champions. The same is true of the shields for Scrapper for example.

    In videos for Pain Keeper it mentions that you can book the shields up to 50%, and I have seen this on other mentions and videos for other champions. This is not true for any I have run the numbers on. The books are only small additional multipliers of a multiplier, not additive to the multiplier. It would be nice if the descriptions gave you the actual additive effects instead of looking much bigger than the actual effect because of the method of calculation.

    I am a beginner. I’m in the process of forming an Unkillable party with one Maneater. Please tell me about the amount of recovery of skill A2. Is “up to 15% of everyone” the HP of each hero? Or will it evenly recover 15% of everyone’s total HP? I’m imitating ColdBrew’s video, but around the 20th turn of UNM, A2 recovers a little less than the hero who receives stun, and Painkeeper is killed. HP 51,587 ATK 2,173 DEF 1,609 Kael does not have Life Drinker. How can I increase the amount of Painkeeper’s recovery in A2?
21. Hobomachine January 13, 2021 at 4:20 AM

    @Ayumilove I’m sure you’re busy, but just wanted to follow up on my comment below. Thanks!
22. Hobomachine January 7, 2021 at 3:07 AM

    If pairing with Seer and Mage, would putting her in a reflex set be worth it? Her in reflex to proc either the heal OR the combat tactics skill with Mage in a shield set? Or would it be more worth it to put her in the shield set and put Mage in 3 speed sets?
23. Jackwagon December 26, 2020 at 6:01 AM

    what about using resilience or deflections sets with this one? or maybe even curing?
24. Ayumilove Post authorNovember 5, 2020 at 9:12 PM

    @Aldoant Moertianto: Champion Tier list can be found at https://ayumilove.net/raid-shadow-legends-list-of-champions-by-ranking/
    Champions that are Common and Uncommon can be use as fodder (sacrificed to rank up champions) without any issues.
    Champions that are Rare and F Rank can be sacrificed to rank up champions.
    Champions that are Epic and Legendary are not to be sacrificed unless you are a whale (P2W – Play to Win player).
    You can check from the Champions rating. If they have 4-5 star in a particular area that you have usage for them, then you can keep hold on them as they can help you in those areas.
25. Aldoant Moertianto November 5, 2020 at 5:51 PM

    Oh, i see…

    Is there any tier list for this game heroes?
    Like there is so much hero, some of 3* potential and others. I’m very confused when it comes to sacrificing some heroes 🙁
26. Ayumilove Post authorNovember 5, 2020 at 11:01 AM

    @Aldoant Moertianto: They are abbreviations to make it easy to identify the champion faction, rarity, role type and affinity. For example:
    1. DE-RHV = Dark Elves – Rare HP Void.
    2. BL-RAS = Banner Lords – Rare Attack Spirit.
    3. UH-RAM = Undead Hordes – Rare Attack Magic.
27. Aldoant Moertianto November 5, 2020 at 10:57 AM

    What is the meaning of DE-RHV, BL-RAS, UH-RAM, and etc.? is that explaining something?
28. LinePK October 11, 2020 at 1:58 AM

    Would Deflection Set work well on her?
29. Tom Chapman Barros-Wing September 24, 2020 at 12:13 AM

    @Dave C and Wiley Man: Agreed that it can be a buff, depending on the situation. For example, in the Budget Unkillable setup (one Maneater, one Painkeeper) the change in Painkeeper’s A2 makes this much setup easier to do, because the Clan Boss targets the champion with the lowest percentage of their Max hp at any given time–so you want the Painkeeper to be healing everybody, but healing the champion who has the highest Max hp the LEAST compared to their Max hp (they’ll be the slowest in this setup, so at the moment the CB’s stun arrives, they’re the only one who still has the Maneater’s Unkillable and Block Debuffs buffs on them–and even so, they’ll be targeted if they currently have the lowest % of Max hp at that moment. For most of the fight, the whole team is at 1 hp, but your stun soaker “slowboi” has the hightest Max hp, so that 1 hp is the lowest PERCENTAGE of Max hp on the team).

    Agreed, though, that if you just want to keep healing Hakkorhn Smashlord or Miscreated Monster or Mountain King or somebody beefy like that–yeah, you’re losing out here.
30. WileyMan July 30, 2020 at 7:09 AM

    @Dave C: The switch to using Painkeeper’s HP for healing is not a nerf; it is a buff. Painkeeper is an HP Champion with a very high base HP that you will also build with HP-focused gear. That will give significantly bigger heals than healing based on most other champions’ HP.
31. WileyMan July 30, 2020 at 7:03 AM

    @Bladehold: When ascended to 3* or greater, her A2 switches to healing “all allies”. Every page on this site lists the 3* ascended auras/skills when there is an ascension upgrade.
32. Bladehold July 16, 2020 at 10:57 PM

    pain keeper appears to have been changed, live a2 now reads

    “Attacks all enemies, then heals this champion by 15% of this champion’s Max HP”

    Damage based on [HP][ATK]

    with level 2-8, heal +5, heal+5, damage +5, Heal +10, Heal+15, Damage +15, Cooldown -1.
33. Begone! June 28, 2020 at 9:07 AM

    I have my Pain Keeper in a Reflex set, which triggers more often Combat tactics: a big help for the rest of the team.
34. Destroyer39 June 8, 2020 at 9:50 AM

    Ash did a great Pain Keeper guide yesterday (or the day before) that you might want to consider adding!
35. Dave C March 17, 2020 at 1:36 AM

    such bs that plarium keeps nerfing rares…
36. Ayumilove Post authorJanuary 25, 2020 at 10:35 AM

    @Ari Haaman: Thanks for posting the updated skill description for Pain Keeper’s Spectacular Sweep! I have updated her skill above.

    I have mine stacking hp and in a shield set. Really good champ
