Kawerik

About Kawerik

Nothing else in the meta pool posts a higher Total Score than Kawerik, who holds 1st of 133. He also wins more often than the median meta hero and is picked far more than the median. The record is large enough that neither fact is a small-sample accident.

Damage in, very little damage out

Against the other meta heroes he is 5th on Damage Dealt. His Damage Suffered is 129th, so he absorbs far less damage than almost any rival. His Total Score is roughly three times what a typical meta hero posts.

Banned before the draft, less so during it

Opponents preban him more often than the typical meta hero, yet once he is on a team they ban him in-draft less often than the typical meta hero. Tactical Archetype Coli and Uncharted Pioneer Politis stand clear of every other answer on his hard side. Tactical Archetype Coli is also his third-strongest partner, behind Lisette and Briar Witch Iseria.

His favourable matchups are led by Renoa, Hecate and Genesis Ras in a tight cluster, and Lisette is on both lists as a strong partner and a matchup he wins. His partners fall away after the first three, and the rest of the list sits well behind Lisette, Briar Witch Iseria and Tactical Archetype Coli.

One artifact, three gear sets

Every recorded build uses Tagehel's Ancient Book. Speed plus Torrent holds 44% of his builds, with Fervor plus Speed second and Critical plus Speed third. Critical plus Speed is the one combo that wins less often than the other two, and that gap rests on tens of thousands of battles.
