Immortal Shiba

The ultimate Warden tank build. Stacks every defensive mythic for near-immortality. You simply don't die.

Overview

The Immortal Shiba has one goal: never die. Under the Warden expertise, it stacks Phoenix (revive), Iron Will (damage reduction), Sentinel (more damage reduction), and the new Reprisal capstone that turns absorbed damage into AoE. Siege Engine converts damage taken into offensive power.

Core Skills (Priority Order)

  1. Phoenix (Mythic, S+) - Revive once per adventure. Insurance policy.
  2. Iron Will (Mythic, S) - Damage reduction up, damage dealt down 20%.
  3. Sentinel (Mythic, S) - Stacking damage reduction each round.
  4. Reprisal (Mythic, S+) - Warden capstone. Blocked damage scatters as AoE to all enemies.
  5. Siege Engine (Mythic, S) - Absorbed damage charges next attack. +15% stored as bonus ATK.
  6. Barrier Bash (Legendary, A) - While shielded, bonus damage scales with shield. Cap +60%.
  7. Last Stand (Legendary, A) - Emergency shield at 30% HP.

Supporting Skills

  • Shield Strike (Common) - Chance to shield on attack.
  • Major DEF (Legendary) - Big DEF boost.
  • Major HP (Legendary) - Big HP boost.
  • Fortified Spirit (Legendary, A) - Overheal → shield conversion.
  • Preemptive Strike (Common) - 30% chance to strike each round.

Expertise Path

Stack Warden tags. Shield Strike, Counterstrike, Sentinel, Iron Will, and Boost DEF all give Warden. At 4+ tags, Reprisal becomes available.

Strategy Tips

  • Reprisal turns your tankiness into damage. The more you absorb, the more you deal back.
  • Siege Engine + Reprisal = you want to get hit. Absorb damage, scatter it as AoE, and charge your next attack.
  • Barrier Bash rewards maintaining shields. Fortified Spirit converts overheal to shields for Barrier Bash fuel.
  • This build won’t top DPS charts, but it will never die. In Raids, pair with DPS teammates.

Tier Rating: S+

The strongest build in 1.22. The Warden capstones (Reprisal + Siege Engine) completely changed this archetype — you’re not just surviving, you’re turning absorbed damage into devastating AoE and charged attacks. Reprisal scatters blocked damage to all enemies, Siege Engine charges your next hit, and Barrier Bash scales damage with shield strength. This build tanks everything and punishes enemies for attacking you. Near-mandatory for high-level Raids.
