Smokey is an S-Level Support of the Mauler faction. Their kit revolves around the passive healing aura that their kit provides, enhancing it and allies within it at the cost of essentially standing still for the entire fight.
This most iconic skill is the passive function of their Ultimate: "Special Aroma". Smokey projects a 2-tile radius aura that regenerates the HP of all allied units inside of it. Each active cast of the Ultimate grants a new effect to the aura, with the first cast increasing its range by 1 tile and the second providing a continuous Haste buff to allies inside. Unfortunately, the aura is considered a channel, and can thus be interrupted by crowd control.
Their other skills all revolve around the aura as well. The "Energizing Formula" passive naturally applies an ATK buff to allies within range while recovering Energy for Smokey per ally affected. Their "Quick Recovery" skill instead immediately applies a burst of healing to all allies within the aura, further enhancing Smokey's supportive capabilities.
Their Exclusive Weapon is a weird one and unlocks the "Withering Potion" skill. This skill grants a third upgrade tier to the "Special Aroma", one that is only active for a limited time upon cast, increases the aroma range by another tile, and deals HP% damage to all enemies within its area of effect. At +10, while this is active, enemies are also periodically stunned for a tiny duration, preventing them from properly channeling abilities.
Smokey is a solid Support, with their only lacking features being the fact that they're hard to get to move and that they don't have much in the way of actual burst healing. Though while their healing is done over time, they also provide great offensive buffs to allies within the aura, and can generate a lot of Energy for themselves to quickly upgrade their "Special Aroma".
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great healing over time especially after a few casts of "Special Aroma".
Excellent offensive buffs in the form of extra ATK and Haste.
Cons
Literally doesn't move from their spot so long as even one ally is in the aura, making him great only in ranged-focused teams,
Aura can get interrupted by CC.
Needs to cast their Ultimate quickly to get their "Special Aroma" upgrades.

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.
