Which starter Invoker to pick

4 October 2026 · written for game version 0.61.1516

Take Selisa if unsure. She ranks highest across our tier lists and her DEF Down helps every team.

  • All five are Rare, so they share one Tolerance at 50% and the same upgrade costs.
  • Pick by the job, not the damage: Selisa debuffs, Dannos and Silanth clear waves, Kalix burns, Malgar launches.
  • A built starter beats an unbuilt Legendary. Spend your first Codexes here.

What they do at max skill level

  • Selisa: Biting Shadow puts 35% DEF Down for 9s on one target. Phantom Claws slows 8 enemies by 60% for 14s. Her Ultimate stuns 8 enemies for 4s.
  • Dannos: Smitebringer places 10% Weaken for 9s. His Ultimate hits 8 enemies 8 times and gets stronger the more HP he has.
  • Silanth: Bloodpetal Harvest bleeds 8 enemies for 1.5% max HP every 2s for 8s (capped at 300% ATK a tick). Her Ultimate gains 15% per debuff on the target, up to +75%.
  • Kalix: Breath of the Drake burns 8 enemies for 1.25% max HP a tick for 6s. His Ultimate instantly ticks up to 3 Burns. Might of Constraint adds 30% ATK Down.
  • Malgar: The Stinger launches 8 enemies for 2s. His Ultimate gives him +20% Combo SPD for 10s.

Every debuff needs Accuracy to land. Ultimates start at 900 mana (Selisa and Kalix 1,100) and get cheaper as you upgrade them. Read How combat works before stage 10 of any boss.

Building them

  • Silanth, Kalix: ATK and ACC. Their Bleeds and Burns ignore DEF and scale with ATK, so skip Crit.
  • Selisa: ACC first so her debuffs land, then ATK.
  • Dannos, Malgar: Crit Rate to 75-80%, then Crit DMG and ACC.
  • Everyone: Awakening can’t go past an Invoker’s Ascension stars, so raise stars first (Ascension).
