Learn how to effectively use Jodariel, the Demon, in Pyre. Discover her strengths, weaknesses, abilities, and mastery paths for both offense and defense.
Jodariel, known as The Demon, is Pyre's first heavy unit, trading speed for significant power. She excels at area control, capable of blocking off sections of the battlefield with her large aura and quickly closing distances with her lunging dash to banish opponents. Her jump attack also serves a dual purpose, repelling enemies and briefly stunning them on impact, causing them to drop the Orb.
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Big aura, high pyre damage.
- Very slow with few ways to boost speed.
- Long respawn time.
Abilities:
- Cast: Basic aura cast, wider and slower traveling.
- Jump: Jumps up and slams down, knocking back nearby opponents.
- Sprint (Rush): A short, lunging dash that consumes a lot of stamina to fling her forward a short distance.
Masteries:
Sins of the Fallen Emperor
- Tier 1 - Long Stride: After using her Rush to lunge forward, Jodariel can Rush again right away.
- Tier 2 - Crushing Heel: When landing from a jump, Jodariel briefly stuns nearby adversaries, making them drop the Orb.
- Tier 2 - Brazen Manner: For 7 seconds after saluting her adversaries, Jodariel deals an additional 10 damage to the adversary’s Pyre.
- Tier 3 - Celestial Spike: Jodariel can banish adversaries by flinging the Orb into them.
Boons of the First Exile
- Tier 1 - Relentless Vigor: After banishing an adversary, Jodariel instantly recovers all her Stamina.
- Tier 2 - Fierce Presence: Jodariel permanently gains +4 Presence, raising the size of her Aura.
- Tier 2 - Enduring Flame: At the start of a Rite, Jodariel’s Pyre automatically gains +35 health.
- Tier 3 - Greater Banishment: Any adversaries banished by Jodariel take 30% longer than usual to return.
Strategy:
- Jodariel's primary weakness is her lack of speed, making her vulnerable to faster characters and aura blasts, particularly when she is carrying the Orb.
- Her lunging dash consumes significant stamina and cannot be used in rapid succession, limiting her overall mobility to slow walking.
- Despite her slowness, if Jodariel reaches the enemy Pyre, the damage she inflicts is substantial.
- Jodariel can be customized through masteries to focus on either defense or offense. A defensive build enhances her survivability and can provide a Pyre health boost, which can be crucial in challenging matches.
