KordanInformation and Guide

Kordan is an S-Level Warrior that can deal heavy amounts of damage, last at the frontline and support allies, giving him exceptional potential.

His Ultimate, Dominance Ring, passively starts him at 1000 Energy, allowing him to immediately cast it. When activated, Kordan immobilizes a target enemy and initiates a duel by creating a Hunting Circle that deals damage to all enemies within its area while knocking other ranged enemies out of the field. 

The Hunting Circle lasts for 16 seconds, and any units—ally or enemy—inside it take 60% less damage and receive 60% less healing from characters outside the circle. Allied units within the circle also gain increased ATK, Life Drain and a damage boost. Kordan can only have one Hunting Circle active at any given time. At Supreme+, whenever Kordan assists or defeats a non-summoned enemy inside the circle, he leaps to a new target, dragging the Hunting Circle with him, extending its duration and granting allies within it Penetration.

While Kordan is inside the Hunting Circle, he can use Fury Slash and Sundering Strike. Fury Slash is a damaging skill that grants Kordan a shield proportional to the damage it deals, while Sundering Strike is another damaging ability that knocks enemies down on hit. Both skills have extremely high ATK scaling.

At Mythic+, Kordan unlocks Rage Unleashed: when he assists or defeats a non-summoned hero, or fights within the Hunting Circle for a total of 20 seconds (equivalent to at least two Ultimate casts or a kill that repositions the circle), Fury Slash and Sundering Strike are enhanced. Fury Slash gains bonus damage based on the target's missing HP, while Sundering Strike is upgraded to knock enemies into the air, providing longer Crowd Control and higher damage. At EX+10, whenever Kordan assists or defeats a non-summoned enemy inside the Hunting Circle, his Physical and Magic Defense permanently increase by a significant amount, stacking up to 3 times. Each assist or defeat also heals Kordan for 15% of his max HP per second for 3 seconds.

Performance in Various Game Modes

• Story and AFK Stages - Kordan is a decent frontliner, as his Ultimate provides Damage Reduction against ranged enemies outside the Hunting Circle, allowing him to lifesteal and sustain through the damage he takes.

• Dream Realm - The current Dream Realm meta favors buffers that can affect allies regardless of positioning, which is especially unfavorable for Kordan since his Ultimate has limited reach.

• PvP - He isn’t as strong as Pang, not that Pang is very good in the first place but since Kordan’s value mainly comes from his Ultimate - its relatively small radius limits his overall impact.

Investment

• Legendary+ increases Kordan’s ATK during battle.

• Mythic+ enhances Fury Slash and Sundering Strike after he assists or defeats a non-summoned enemy, or after spending 20 seconds fighting inside the Hunting Circle.

• EX+10 makes each assist or defeat of a non-summoned enemy inside the Hunting Circle permanently increase Kordan's Physical and Magic Defense and heal him.

• Supreme+ makes Kordan’s assisting or defeating a non-summoned enemy inside the Hunting Circle make him leap to a new target, move and extend the circle's duration and grant allies within it Penetration.

Conclusion

At the moment, there hasn't been much breakthrough regarding Kordan's performance across different game modes as the season is ending, but he currently shows strong potential as a frontliner. How impactful he truly is though, will be determined over time. Investment in Kordan starts at one copy, especially for Ravaged Realms. If you plan to use him in AFK Stages, his Mythic+ passive and EX Weapon at +10 are highly recommended. Finally, Supreme+ further maximizes his value by allowing him to leap to a new target while moving the Hunting Circle with him.
