Guide🔗

Overall: An even stronger but more fragile ultra-burst glass cannon. A more extreme upgrade of Christian: durability got even more frail while firepower got even stronger, and with a single skill click he can gain type advantage against all attributes/troop types, greatly increasing solo-all-kill potential. Depending on class choice he can be run as an extreme counter to buff-stacking parties, or actively apply debuffs for equivalent returns, allowing flexible operation. Achieving Manifestation 1+ lets him actively enter the "Entropy Ghost" state, projecting overwhelming firepower one-sidedly while invincible (even if only for 1 turn), which is extremely powerful. A high-Manifestation, high-awakening exclusive-weapon Heidelloon in the arena can Ghost -> Tactical Maneuver for TP 2 -> Blackhole to slash the whole party's HP, then sweep with follow-up Aftershock, and even if the opponent survives, he is in Entropy Ghost state so nothing can touch him unless it is another Entropy Ghost Heidelloon. Everything (awakening/manifestation, weapon awakening, exclusive armor) is designed so he grows honestly in proportion to money spent; judge the right line for yourself.

Passive: A passive that forces him to be a glass cannon. Heidelloon has enormous attack plus a Christian-era trait that attacks again on enemy kill, so the Entropy Ghost state (which secures survival and crit rate at once) is very strong. He can attack banished/Entropy Ghost enemies, so in PVP it is the only way to kill an enemy Entropy Ghost Heidelloon. Absolutely avoid raising his HP and defense. Manifestation adds attack boost and converts the Banish state into Entropy Ghost, letting him counter Diablo's Phantom Walk, Joan's bind, etc. In high-difficulty dungeons (challenges, late simulation training) where enemy gunners fire banish-bullets, a high-Manifestation Heidelloon becomes stronger when banished, so he counters banish-bullet gunners.

Classes: The Tier-3 options are Root Hacker (buff counter), Chaos Blinger (debuff counter), and L.T.K. Root Hacker is recommended as 1st-priority raise and endgame class: its Paradox Worm (buff-treated debuff, max 10 stacks) applies easily (2 stacks per hit, ~4 stacks in 1 turn with the exclusive weapon's double attack), and its damage-amp scales with buff count so Paradox Worm counts toward it too; its "penetration damage taken" increase also supports penetration-type allies (i.e. Joan). Warning: synergy with Black Prince's Atomic Blast (which wipes buffs and blocks new buff gain) is the worst, since Paradox Worm is a removable buff and cannot be applied to enemies under the Despair debuff; Isabel's exclusive Longinus can also wipe buffs from 5-awakening, and buff-steal units like Silver can steal this debuff, so combine carefully. Chaos Blinger is the debuff counter: actively applies many debuff types, fires Collapse Bullet for area dark damage, and its contagion spreads debuffs, so it excels vs Fierce-Battle Raid / World Boss Raid (debuff-heavy, buff-scarce) and synergizes well with Black Prince's Death Lord (which spreads Loss-of-Will debuffs). L.T.K. (max bullets 4, only class with base movement 4, most mobile) starts stages with the infinite "Perfect Shot" buff (+25% attack/crit at max) and gains 1 TP on kill, but the buff evaporates on taking any damage, so it is weak in raids like Cerberus/Diene where you cannot kill and cannot avoid damage; lowest raise priority since Root Hacker has better damage-amp and a separate class tree.

Core skills & Ultimate:

• Override Field: TP 1, gain the unremovable 2-turn buff granting type-advantage vs all enemies (+50% damage dealt, -50% damage taken), plus a follow-up action; cooldown 2. Called a "balance-breaking" skill.
• Terminal Protocol (main damage skill 1): TP 2, 1 bullet, 140% + 20% per enemy buff, ignores cover/escort, banishes if it fails to kill; cooldown 3. Great with Entropy Ghost (can follow up).
• Astral Blade: TP 3, 3x5 area, 90% electric damage + Shock + 1 random debuff; cooldown 3. Does not consume bullets (so no Magic-Bullet/Collapse-Bullet amp), random debuffs, but wide range helps his poor mobility; good class-passive synergy for Chaos Blinger (applies 2 debuffs).
• Null Spread (main damage skill 2): TP 2, empties all bullets and reloads Magic Bullets to max, then fires down a straight line at 30% per shot (each shot's real multiplier becomes 55% with Magic Bullet, so ~155% start), repeating until bullets run out or enemy dies; cooldown 3. With L.T.K. + exclusive weapon (6-bullet magazine, full awakening) the peak reaches 430%; but only ~220% on other classes with a stand-in weapon, sometimes weaker than Terminal Protocol. Cannot fire Collapse Bullets via Null Spread.
• Tactical Maneuver: TP 1, move to farthest empty cell within 4 front cells, steal TP from passed enemies (if 0 stolen, refunded and cooldown -1), plus follow-up action; cooldown 3. Useful for his slow (movement 3) main classes; with TP steal, a 1-turn instant Blackhole is possible if 3 enemies are lined up.
• Unreal Blackhole (Ultimate): dark area attack targeting within 4 cells; on use lose 50% of remaining HP and gain +15% attack until next turn start, then deal 100%~120% damage to enemies within 3 rings around the target and pull them to center (position control). Wide range, all passives apply, first-strike boost. Risky (halves HP, blocks passive-trigger condition), so normally use carefully; but firing while in Entropy Ghost is near no-risk since invincible, and after obtaining the manifestation skill he can fire it freely; full-manifestation drops the passive condition to 50% so HP loss barely matters. Grows in power/convenience the more you pay.
• Manifestation skill Entropy Ghost: no TP, pays 10% HP to grant self Entropy Ghost; triggers Sequence Break for a re-action. First enhance adds debuff removal, second enhance adds 1 TP charge; cooldown 4. Effectively pays HP for 1-turn invincible + crit rate, lasting until end of the next turn's action (up to 2 Ghost attacks) plus a re-action. In PVP (as of mid-2025) the only counter to a Manifestation-1+ Heidelloon is another Manifestation-1+ Heidelloon, so this skill is considered essential for active PVP players.

Exclusive weapon & recommended gear: Weapon is Ex Nihilo; extra stats attack + crit, max bullets +1~2.

• Kill Order: applied to a random hit enemy after attacking; received crit damage +10~20%; if that enemy takes lethal damage, the dealer gains 1 TP and Kill Order is removed; lasts 2 turns. 1 target, becomes 2 from 5-awakening.
• Aftershock (Heidelloon-exclusive): on action end, fire at the lowest-HP enemy in range for 50~80% damage; triggers even without bullets; if it kills, Aftershock triggers once more (no cap on repeats, theoretically can wipe all enemies in 1 turn). Essentially mandatory; awakening's crit-multiplier rise contributes greatly to firepower. Note: Aftershock is not an "extra attack," so whetstones are meaningless.
• Armor: Ignore survival entirely, go full-burst; unlike Christian there is no crit benefit and most is attack-multiplier, so pile everything into attack. Best Legendary armor is the Assassin 4-set; One-Man-Army 4-set + physical penetration can counter PVP crit-damage-reduction tank meta. Heroic: Chivalrous 4-set, or Chivalrous 2 + Slayer 2 for attack 20%. The self-themed "System Heretic" set (2-set: physical pen 15% + crit 15%; 4-set: attack +30% on enemy attack, plus once-per-turn 2-turn shield of 50% max HP on dealing lethal damage) is a broken paid-item set worth considering if wealthy.
• Accessories: attack-focused, so the standard Ancient Hero's Ring is recommended (though it slightly raises survival, making passive-trigger a bit harder). Arrowhead valid if crit + Terminal Protocol focus, but note it does not apply to Null Spread. Heroic: Wound-Worsening Charm for attack, or Golden Dice for crit. Fang usable for attack but physical pen applies only to combat attacks, so unsuitable if Astral Blade/Null Spread are main; whetstones meaningless since Aftershock is not an extra attack.
