How Alcar works
Alcar is a 4-generation mythic Infantry built primarily as a frontline anchor. The kit centers on team mitigation, invulnerability, damage vulnerability, and self control immunity.
A Praetorian’s glory is his strength. Alcar enters an invulnerable state (unable to move or cast skills, immune to control effects) and reduces Damage Taken by 70% for nearby friendly squads for 2s.
Alcar spears a line of enemies, dealing Attack * 98% damage and increases the Damage Taken for enemies hit by 20% for 2s.
Alcar’s loyalty to the old ways gives him strength. “Glorious Mark” restores Attack * 42% Health every second for 5s.
Gameplay-observed tags
Alcar in Conquest
The hero remains present in successful late-stage testing through stage 490, showing relevance well beyond a narrow release window.
The current composite ranking weighs stage ceiling, trustworthy lower-power performance, role utility, position versatility, raw stats, and generation ceiling. Alcar is not ranked from raw win rate alone because heroes enter the dataset at different stages and are tested with different frequency.
The pattern is supported strongly enough to guide formation choices, while exact powers and private rows remain hidden.
Alcar in Arena
The Arena rating is preliminary. It combines Conquest evidence, raw stats, generation age, targeting value, and utility such as team mitigation, invulnerability, damage vulnerability, and self control immunity. A very small amount of direct Arena evidence exists, but it is not large enough to publish as a firm result.
In Arena, Alcar should be judged by whether the formation can use team mitigation, invulnerability, damage vulnerability, and self control immunity before the hero is removed or controlled. Newer-generation raw stats matter more in direct PvP, but specialized older heroes can remain useful three or four generations later when their development and utility still justify the slot.
Best position for Alcar
The strongest trusted position in the current dataset is Front left. Trusted wins also appear from Front right.
- Trusted winning positions: Front left and Front right.
The starting target map still applies: front left and back left pressure enemy front left, while front right, back middle, and back right pressure enemy front right. Retargeting then follows the closest valid target.
