KIT INFO
Aquamman is an Legendary, Agile, Tank Hero who excels at defending, buffing and healing your team to keep them sustained in battle.
His Ultimate, Dolphin Foot Push, deals high physical damage to an enemy row while granting Aquaman Shelter. As this ability levels up it can also grant Shelter to allies and Exhaustion to your enemies, keeping your team buffed while punishing the enemy team with debuffs. Aquaman also shares a special bond with queen Mera, who can lend Aquaman any buff placed upon her, including her own Xebel Armor ability.
A Tidalwave of Tactical Options
- Basic Ability: Trident Lunge – Attacks an enemy for Physical Damage equal to 100% of Aquaman’s Attack and applies 1 stack of Frostbite
- Passive 1: School of Fish – When an ally is badly injured for the first time, a protective school of fish creates a barrier around them. Until their next turn, they are invulnerable and enemies who attack them are also inflicted with one stack of Frostbite. At higher levels, Aquaman also gains a School of Fish until the end of his next turn and when School of Fish is removed, it cleanses all debuffs on the target who had the buff.
- Passive 2: Merciful Sea – During battle whenever an ally’s health is Sacrificed, their health is immediately healed for 50% of the Sacrificed value. This effect can occur up to a maximum of 5 times per battle and does not affect the current HP level.
- Legendary Passive: King’s Blessing – At the start of Aquaman’s turn, any member of his team who has greater than 65% HP will gain 1 stack of Strong Attack for 2 Turns. Anyone with less than 65% HP will be healed for 15% of their max HP. In addition to this, if Aquaman is standing beside his Queen, Mera, all buffs she gains will be also applied to him, including Xebel Armor.
TACTICAL INFO
Aquaman is a great addition to any team needing a powerhouse Tank that excels at keeping his team on their feet. On the Sacrifice team, he can keep them healed up. Against the Evil Falls boss Deathstorm, the combination of Sacrifice and instantly-healing the HP back up, will help you take him down even faster! When paired with Mera, the king and queen can greatly benefit from each other’s abilities making for a fantastic duo that can compliment a number of team comps.
His Badge, Emblem of the Sea King buffs his School of Fish ability to grant additional buffs like Strong Attack and Recuperate. Additionally, the Emblem of the Sea King heals allies that have less health than Aquaman.
Squad Up: Team Aquaman
Aquaman works well with a variety of teams and can heal, buff and debuff while keeping his team alive with shelter and invulnerability.
- The Frostbite Team – Aquaman can add Frostbite to any ally’s attacks. Try teaming him up with the newly enhanced Mera, who now deals Frostbite with her Advanced and Ultimate abilities as well as Supergirl who holds the Frostbite Team Synergy. At higher levels, the Frostbite Synergy can cancel out Critical Hit Chance on her opponents.
- Sacrifice Squad – Try adding Aquaman to a Sacrifice team! His Legendary Passive, Merciful Sea, heals a large portion of Sacrificed Health meaning that you get less risk and more reward from characters such as Doctor Fate, Constantine, Pandora and his queen Mera
- Atlantis Block Team – Try pairing Aquaman with Queen Mera to take advantage of their special bond which gives Aquaman the same buffs given to Mera. If you’re looking for even more Atlantean Kings, add Ocean Master to the mix who grants additional buffs to block teams and happens to love bonuses to basic attacks when he is counter-attacking the enemy team!
