Pyxniel Storyline
It is a matter of heated debate among the scholars whether the passing of seasons affects the balance between Light and Darkness in Teleria. Indeed, some claim that as the light of the sun wanes and nature dies, so too the warmth of Lumaya’s love is sapped from the world. Why else would the Arbiter go to such lengths to recruit mighty Champions to keep vigil over the frozen desert of Telerian North? Sir Nicholas is the most well-known among these heroes, but he is far from the only one. Amid the northmost peaks of the Mountains of Despair, where not even the Dwarves dare to tread, stands a tower of shimmering ice. A wizard sits upon her throne somewhere within, unto whom the authority to rule these inhospitable peaks had once been given by the grace of Lumaya. Yet her deeds are lost to myth, and only a few can remember her name – Pyxniel. Those mortals fortunate enough to have seen her described a being of aloof ethereal beauty, wreathed in an aura of eternal frost. Her footfalls were said to leave webs of rime creeping across the ground, her skin was cold to the touch, and an ancient, noble power burned in her eyes. Silver armor of awe-inspiring artifice protected Pyxniel from harm, its style and fashion echoing that of the High Elves of old. Some believe that Pyxniel was a Queen in an age long before the domain of Aravia rose to prominence. Others maintain she was a noble wizard of the Basileus’ court, whose research took her to the far north of the Elven Kingdom and whose life was saved by the Arbiter in exchange for service. Whatever the case may be, most sources agree that Pyxniel was a powerful servant of Lumaya, and her wrath was as terrible to behold as the blizzards that lash the snowy wastes of the Winterlands. For centuries she stood guard against the vile schemes of Siroth. It was by Pyxniel’s benediction that many Champions were able to cross the treacherous passes of the Mountains of Despair unharmed and at pace. At the same time, those serving the Dark One found themselves entrapped, led astray, or destroyed by her magic… But generations passed since Pyxniel was last seen, and evil grows ever-bolder. Legend has it that a deadly battle between Pyxniel and a Prince of the Demonspawn armies took place when Siroth had last attempted to crush the mortal realms of Teleria. Although she emerged victorious, the foe’s power was such that it took every ounce of magic Pyxniel could muster to defeat him. She lost control of the arcane energies she wielded, and her heart was frozen solid, then splintered into myriad shards that scattered across the world. And so she remains – a statue of ice slumped upon her throne. Only by finding the shards and putting them back together can this noble Champion be returned to life. And so, Summoner, the quest falls to you. Search the world, recover the fragments of Pyxniel’s soul, and gain a powerful ally to your cause!

Hey Ayumilove, Pyxniel skills needs to be updated to latest. Which is alot better than her previous, especially being able to remove freeze from her self 100%.
She needs a massive rework and maybe one day we’ll get lucky and Plarium will do that, but for now, she’s just not great. She’s all over the place and seems to fit best, if a bit awkwardly, in faction wars. I’m very happy to have her but I also know I’ll rarely use her except in my growing “Ice Team”.
It seems like her passive doesn’t really do anything if her teammates have sufficient resistance to avoid being frozen
Pyxniel now has 18 tomes, if I’m reading it right…
I like her – a no-brainer in FW, but also in Ice Golem in my opinion. Arena sometimes. The downside is that she really does need books
I am scared to invest more into her than having her all her gear at lvl 12. Ranking her to lvl 60. Masteries past the part where it is a commitment, rather than a trial.
You and Ayumi say she is worth investing in. That’s it.
I got her two weeks ago. She is the 1st legendary I got in this game. The ratings in the game suggest that she’s weak for a legendary but honestly she has served me very well so far. I use her pretty much everywhere, arena, dungeons, campaign.
@Ayumilove: Love the site, been lurking here for a while and your posts and ratings are pretty spot on. My only query is like with this champion, why are her ratings so low in the game but high here? I’ve used her a bit and she is quite good, so i don’t believe the ratings in-game for this champion, but why would she be ranked so low in-game? thanks.
This one is a strange beast.
When you see the ratings she gets in Raid, they are extremely disappointing andf almost didn’t do anything with her.
Fortunately I checked out Ayumilove’s ratings and kept her for Fraction Wars where she boosted my team (only lego on it) and made a big difference.
Only ascended and artifacts + accessories, but still does a great job.
Haven’t used her anywhere else as she is not booked for the extra rise in performance (may later if I have excess books) because she takes so many (18 in total) and not really needed either in my situation
I fused her and like her so far. I am pure F2P so far on day 100 and she was my second legendary. I even put almost all my legendary books into her (just trying to max out A2 but not very lucky).
I use her as arena offense lead against speed teams in gold 4. Warmaiden’s decrease defense now usually only land on 1-2 of my champions due to the massive resistance boost. Also her A3 always freezes at least 1 champion in opponent team because there is a guaranteed 2 hitter on a 4 champ team.
I use her along with rector drath in CB team (don’t have better champions!) and dungeons/doom tower as her A1’s veil means an extra heal with rector’s passive.
What I wish they change to buff her in terms of AI and skills to make her a truly A-rank leggo:
1. she needs to use her A3 in CB fight, much more damage than the A1. right now she prioritizes her A2 and never uses A3 on auto,
2. I wish the veil on the A1 is fixed on the Ally with lowest health rather than random, and it should be a perfect veil with higher chance to land. Right now I find her almost always do it on the ally that moves next immediately so the veil is no use at all in most of the cases unless you have rector on the same team.
I recently summoned this champ in the Sacred Shard X2, January(2021) event. Just going to say, the in-game reviews out of 1,543 reviews? The highest ratings is Arena Offense, Ice Golem and Faction Wars. And they are rated at 2.3. Everything else is rated lower than that.
But! Ayumilove thinks she is a Teir A Legendary. I don’t know if that is with all the books or without. My bet is that one can make her viable as much as possible without booking her. But if you do book her? You commit to booking her all the way. I say this as a F2P. (I am not booking her unless Biden gives me $1,400. And even then… I think I’d still save money subscribing to an Only Fans page instead.)
1.) I wouldn’t dream of using this champ as an Arena Offense. Arena Defense however…. I bet she can be paired in such a way, with other specific champs where she is the bomb with the right gear.
2.) I say focus less on ATK and focus more on Speed and Accuracy AND THEN HP%/Def% The balancing act will be a pain. But just my thoughts.
3.) Don’t bother using her in your CB team. I am currently on nightmare. I don’t recall CB ever freezing my champs… but I dunno. So when you do masteries, I’d stick with the first one on this guide. The one with the Green and Blue skill tree. The only Dungeon I’d use her with is Ice Golem. Don’t know about Doom Tower as of yet. For sure, Faction Wars.
4.) Arena. I only say Defense because my offense is a Solid Speed team. I am aware and comfortable with the fact that in arena gold IV. If I am not going first. I lose and I don’t intend on changing my set up with this champ. However, This champ does 5 random attacks. Each of them has a 30% of freezing enemy champs. So…. Yeah, I think this is my first champ that has a skill with 5 attacks? And with that being. That is half of the hits needed for Fire Knight to break down his shield with ONE champ. So, Pyxniel and Alure? 8 hits out of the 10 that is needed with only 2 out of 5 champs. Just a thought….
So Definitely a Niche Champ. But still Useful if you are like me. My only leggos on my only account after nearly a year is Tyrant, Visix, Kratos, Scyl and now Pyxniel. I through down a little money, but not enough. I still consider myself a F2Per.
Just to clarify, she does belong under Arena. I just checked.
You have Pyxniel listed in Resistance Auras under “All”, but when you click on the page, her Aura is listed as Arena
Scratch that. I’m an idiot, just happened to face 2 teams in a row that had the place leech trait as well leading me to believe incorrectly
Fair warning. The “place leech” when debuffing from defensive masteries applies leech on herself to benefit your enemies because she is self targeting with freeze. I wouldn’t recommend that trait
Her passive is stupid. Because Skullcrushers is way better skullcrusher removes any ddebuffs from himself at the start of each turn even stun or sleep or freeze. Pyxiel only removes freeze from herself which is a pretty rare ability
First I wanted to say thank you for all the work you put into this site, it has been a valuable resource for me. Second… how would the deflection set work with her passive, trying to decide if that would be useful
@Jack: I have tested Pyxniel in Arena against Tormin the Cold. Her passive skill “Frostweaver” will activate (based on the success rate) and when its successful, it will steal Freeze debuff from her allies to herself, and that Freeze debuff will not be applied on Pyxniel when she is geared with Immunity Set (Block Debuff buff for 2 turns at the start of each round).
Does anyone know what happens with her abilities if Pyxnial is in immunity gear? Does she “steal” a freeze debuff from an ally, place ir on herself then prevent the freeze because of the immunity set? Would it be worth it to gear her in immunity and frostbite?
@Dingebag: Pyxniel aura was 80 Resistance in All Battles. If you see this image that they have published at https://plarium-multimedia.s3.amazonaws.com/5F09E109-4B7A-4E9C-9974-69948C65156F , it shows that the aura applies to all battles rather than Arena. However, thanks for mentioning the differences you have seen in-game. I’ll update Pyxniel aura accordingly 🙂
Her aura is +80 resistance in arena, not all battles. 🙁
I also think you misunderstand the passive, if pyxniel is frozen, when it gets to her turn she has 35% base chance of that freeze debuff disappearing letting her have her turn and attack straight away, so its fairly decent.
It means when her turn starts, she removes freeze and attacks. Similar to skullcrusher.
@Tom Chapman Barros-Wing: I think Frostbite Set will help prevent Freeze debuff placed by enemies directly to Pyxniel but not Freeze debuff stolen from allies. If Frostbite Set is able to prevent Freeze debuff stolen from allies, that would be awesome.
I just realized that Pyxniel passive skill seems a little bit awkward where it mentions 35% chance of removing Freeze debuff at the start of each Pyxniel turn. Crowd control debuffs such as Stun, Freeze, Sleep, Provoke commonly have 1 duration. Hence, its not really a benefiting Pyxniel at all.
What do you think of equipping her in the new Frostbite set (from the Forge)? I think that’s what I’m going to do first off, once I get her. I have a few good pieces of those on hand.
There are 18 books needed, not 15. you forget passive upgrade 😉
Thank you for your work !
@Tom Chapman Barros-Wing: I have corrected the mastery text to follow according to the mastery image. Thanks!
Thanks for getting this one out so early! Mastery texts and graphics mismatched on Support tree, 7, 8 and 9. I’m dying to hear your ideas. I’ll fuse her tomorrow probably.
