Review
Review
Igor is an S-Level Warrior of the Graveborn faction. His kit focuses entirely on survivability, and he prides himself on being able to stay alive longer than even some tanks.
The primary aspect of his kit is his Ultimate "Funeral Ring". At the start of the battle and every time an enemy loses a certain amount of HP, Igor summons a tombstone. The active part of this Ultimate causes Igor to create a wave of AoE damage that hits the entire map.
"Ghastly Explosion" causes tombstones to 'activate' every few seconds. Igor then jumps to an activated tombstone and deals a burst of damage to all enemies adjacent to it. During this skill, he also gains Damage Immunity and untargetability.
His final skill "Soul Siphon" is also his most iconic (and most subtle). It basically states that, so long as Igor is on a tombstone, when he receives fatal damage, he instead drops to 1 HP, deactivates that tombstone, and jumps to the next one. Essentially, so long as there are tombstones on the field, Igor can't die. This is a large part of his survivability, and his constant jumping also has a habit of drawing aggro from AI unintentionally, further reducing damage taken by the team.
His Exclusive Weapon unlocks "Horror Strike", which extends the range of "Ghastly Explosion" and reduces the targets' healing received greatly if they're above a certain HP threshold. This is focused around winning the war of attrition, something Igor is quite good at.
Igor shines the most on PVP defense, as often he can just stall the battle long enough for the timer to hit zero, and in PVE content when paired with Niru who further amplifies his ability to never die.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great survivable off-tank that is hard to get rid of.
Super annoying to fight against in PVP and PVE.
Nice synergy with Niru that makes him even stronger.
Cons
Doesn't really do anything besides tanking hits and dealing damage - you're basically playing the battle of attrition with him.

EX Investment
The EX investment information were created with the help of Seas0n, the creator of the
AFK Analytica community that supports AFK Arena and AFK Journey.
You can find their website here and their discord here.
Since the
Temporal Essence
and
Twilight Essence
are very hard to obtain, you have to be really careful with the using them to upgrade the EX weapon. And in this guide we ordered all characters by the priority when it comes to how much they need investment in their EX weapon to work well and where should you stop to get the best bang for your buck.
Why does the +8 breakpoint appear so often?
Because the raw stats you get from upgrading the EX weapon help you more than the passive in some cases. Also, to upgrade the EX from +5 to +8 you need only 30x
Temporal Essence
, while the remaining two levels require additional 45x
Temporal Essence
. So you get the best bang for your buck stopping at +8.
Color explanation:
+0 - the base investment for the character,
+5/8 - the next step that you should do when investing into that character,
+10/15 - the final step you should do when investing into that character - you can go beyond that later though once you have the Essences to spare.
