Sebastian: Infantry Hero Guide

Strat Game Sloth Strategic Summary

Sebastian is the ultimate infantry hero for Expedition mode in the early game of Lordrush, defined by his status as the premier pay-to-win global health and lethality bonus as well as amazing skill kit. In addition, he has an amazing priority expedition skill with Battle Ready. It provides a massive 25% army-wide lethality buff identical to Rita’s and Hyeri's; however, you will almost never use him as a rally joiner in Bear. This is because he is the only infantry hero in the game for all hero generations released that has an offensive widget and 3 offensive damage-boosting skills. Due to the low proportion of infantry used in Bear Hunt formations, stat creep from newer heroes will not really have any impact. This makes him the premier Bear Hunt rally leader for the game, with Valky coming in distant second due to only 2 offensive abilities. On top of that, his high level of base troop stat contribution (260.2% infantry attack and defense) remains unchallenged until the arrival of later hero generations. While he is more easily replaced on defensive garrisons due to the lack of appropriate widget type, the reverse is also true. It is very hard for him to be replaced in offensive rallies by later generation heroes. It will not be until many hero generations later where the difference in hero base stats begins to fully offset the loss of Sebastian's offensive widget multiplicative bonus. (The exact inflection point is different for each player depending on how many stats from other domains like hero gear, governor gear and charms, etc. you have to receive that multiplicative bonus.) In any case, the developers made quite an effort to ensure Sebastian's longevity matches his price tag! For Conquest and Arena mode, Sebastian functions as a devastating melee DPS and tank hybrid, perhaps the only viable one in the game, who sets the competitive meta for high-spending players. Despite his infantry classification, his kit is optimized for massive damage output through Combo Slash and Arcane Swordship, which powerful area-of-effect (AoE) strikes. Strategic players should avoid the game's default front-line positioning for infantry and instead place Sebastian in the backline to leverage his Onslaught passive, which grants a significant attack buff as long as his health remains above 50%. When equipped with his exclusive gear, Double Parry further increases his survivability by reducing damage taken by up to 30%, allowing him to act as a formidable "meat shield" that can outlast nearly all other heroes. While he eventually faces competition from later generation infantry tanks on the frontline, Sebastian will remain a cornerstone of top tier formation damage-dealing well into later hero generations.
