Analysis
Review
Iron Man... ekhm. Curian is the third Awakened Sniper and the first Awakened Soldier in Counter Side. Compared to the other two Awakened Snipers, Amy and Queen, he specializes in summoning units and buffing them.
You will need 6 deployment resources to field him, but he appears together with a pair of elite Wardens by his side. Considering that Warden is also a separate employee that costs 2 deployment resources, Curian's 6 cost doesn't look that bad anymore. Keep in mind that the summoned Warden doesn't inherit Curian's gear.
For 6 deployment cost, his kit is very stacked. Curian's passive gives Confusion immunity to ally Soldiers which counters their biggest nemesis - Harab. During the deployment passive, Curian gains nearly unlimited range and is able to outrange almost everyone in the game, along with the stealth detection. His special can inflict a wide area stun and damage, giving him control abilities, and the damage is no joke - able take down most strikers in 1 special skill + passive attack. He also triggers Warden's enhanced attack on a separate cooldown, essentially buffing the Wardens' DPS.
In PVE, he out-damages any other DPS on single target bosses (i.e. Raids or Guild Coop). There, his own damage is almost on par with Kestrel Xiao Lin, but the Wardens he summons deal around 30-40% of his damage on top of that. Still, Kestrel Xiao Lin is 2 deployment resources cheaper, but Curian can also hit Air employees so it evens out.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- huge damage,
- can attack air units
- his summons can keep themselves alive pretty well and they also do a lot of damage.
Cons
- squishy, like really squishy,
- in PVP he dies if someone looks at him funny.
Gear Recommendation
PVE gear
Set: Attack Speed / Any Spectral Sets / Cooldown Reduction
Curian seems to scale with pure ATK and ASPD the best.
PVP gear
Set: Cooldown Reduction / Attack Speed
Ground DMG, Skill Haste substats. His kit is very strong in PVP and you want him to cast skills frequently.
