Overview
Soros
Flaming Terror
Wreakers
First-Gen
AOE Damage
Tank
1: Front-row tank position for normal form. Soros draws attacks that generate devil energy via Aura of Fear (+50 devil energy + 20 Focus per ally attacked). Position 1 maximises hits absorbed during the transformation phase and enables front-row normal attack AOE in Devil Form.
3: First back-row slot for safer DPS positioning. Soros still generates devil energy from ally attacks via Aura of Fear and ally attacks via Demonic Power. Safer but slower energy generation than front-row.
4: Alternative back-row slot. Slightly slower devil energy generation but safer positioning. Viable when another tank occupies positions 1-2 and Soros is used purely as a carry.
Soros is a First-Gen Wreakers commando who transforms into Devil Form after accumulating 1000 devil energy through ally attacks and taking hits, gaining 100% DEF ignore on Doomsday Judgement and AOE normal attacks hitting all front-row enemies. His dual-mode kit provides +10% DMG Mitigation in normal form for early-round tanking, switching to +20% DMG Bonus in Devil Form for devastating offensive output. With Infinite Darkness adding +110% WPN DMG to Doomsday Judgement in Devil Form, Soros becomes the hardest-hitting AOE carry in the game once transformed.
Pros & Cons
- Doomsday Judgement ignores 100% DEF in Devil Form, bypassing the most important defensive stat and dealing 130% WPN DMG + 110% bonus (240% total) to ALL enemies.
- Demonic Power’s Devil Form normal attacks deal 100% WPN DMG to all front-row enemies, providing sustained AOE damage between focus skill casts.
- Demon Form grants +10% DMG Mitigation in normal form (early-round tanking) and +20% DMG Bonus in Devil Form (offensive burst), providing value in both phases.
- Aura of Fear generates +50 devil energy and +20 Focus per ally being attacked, enabling faster Devil Form transformation in tank-heavy lineups that draw many hits.
- First-Gen stats (STR 1029) are significantly higher than Advanced Elite stats, giving Soros raw WPN ATK advantage over most heroes.
- Requires significant real-money investment as a First-Gen hero from a premium event, gating him behind whale-level spending.
- Devil Form requires 1000 devil energy to activate — burst lineups that kill heroes before Soros transforms waste his entire carry potential.
- Wreakers faction currently has only Soros, providing minimal faction bonuses (+5% WPN DEF, +5% TAC DEF, +5% HP for a single stack only).
- Focus drain from Casino delays Doomsday Judgement casts and slows devil energy accumulation through reduced combat actions.
Skills
Deals 78/88/98/110/130% WPN DMG to all enemy targets, and when in Devil Form, the WPN DMG dealt ignores the targets’ 100% DEF.
Each time an allied hero attacks, gains 30/36/42/48/60 devil energy, and enters Devil Form when energy reaches 1000; When in Devil Form, deals 100% WPN DMG to front-row targets in normal attacks.
When not in Devil Form, the hero’s DMG Mitigation +5/6/7/8/10%; when in Devil Form, the hero’s DMG Bonus +10/12/14/16/20%.
For every hero being attacked in your lineup, gains 25/30/35/40/50 devil energy and 10/12/14/16/20 Focus.
When in Devil Form, "Doomsday Judgement" deals 55/66/76/88/110% extra WPN DMG.
Gear
Resolute is mandatory for surviving the transformation phase. Reaper is the best offensive pairing for Devil Form’s front-row AOE normal attacks. When Soros is in position 1 as front-row tank, swap Reaper for Castle to maximise survival during the pre-transformation rounds. Pair Resolute + Reaper for back-row DPS or Resolute + Castle for front-row tanking.
Standard survivability set. Death immunity with 30% HP restore is critical for surviving the transformation phase. +0.4% ATK per 1% HP lost scales Soros’s WPN ATK for larger Devil Form damage. Essential in both front-row tank and back-row carry positions.
#1 Best
+15% Crit Rate and +30% Crit Damage. Devil Form Doomsday Judgement already ignores 100% DEF — critting on this 240% WPN DMG all-enemy hit is devastating.
#2
+10% ATK and +35% DMG after defeating a target. Devil Form’s all-enemy Doomsday Judgement frequently secures kills, triggering the snowball DMG bonus.
#3
+15% WPN DMG and skill-based bonuses. Straightforward damage increase for Soros’s WPN-based kit. Fallback option when higher-ranked sets are occupied.
#4
+15% normal attack DMG and +25% DMG on attacks after defeating an enemy. Devil Form’s front-row AOE normal attacks benefit directly from Reaper’s normal attack bonus, and the kill chain bonus snowballs with AOE kills.
#5
Soros is a STR-based AOE carry with a tank phase. When in position 1, helmet and body should prioritise tank substats (HP%, VIT, DEF, DMG Mitigation). When in back-row positions 3-4, body can shift to offensive substats. Weapon and jewelry always prioritise DPS stats (DMG Bonus, STR, Crit Rate).
DMG Bonus, STR, Crit Rate
DMG Bonus multiplies all damage including Devil Form Doomsday Judgement. STR scales WPN ATK directly. Crit Rate amplifies the massive DEF-ignoring hits.
HP%, AGI, VIT
Survivability stats for surviving the transformation phase. HP% is the most efficient. AGI reduces incoming damage during the vulnerable pre-Devil Form rounds.
DEF, VIT, DMG Mitigation
Pure defense for position 1 front-row tanking. Higher DEF and DMG Mitigation extend survival during the transformation phase. If running Soros in back-row, offensive substats are viable.
DMG Bonus, STR, Skill Effect Enhancement
DMG Bonus multiplies everything. STR scales WPN ATK. Skill Effect Enhancement boosts Doomsday Judgement’s damage multiplier.

Dedicated healer sustaining the team through Buri’s distributed damage and the pre-transformation phase. Battlefield Treatment heals the lowest-HP hero each round.
Buri’s Link of Life distributes 50% of incoming damage across all heroes, protecting Soros during the vulnerable devil energy accumulation phase. The distributed damage across all heroes also generates devil energy via Aura of Fear (each ally being attacked grants +50 devil energy), accelerating Devil Form activation. Frosty Coffin’s +15% crit rate and +30% crit DMG amplify Soros’s massive DEF-ignoring Doomsday Judgement. Bolton provides secondary tanking, Benson adds AOE burning, and Mira sustains the team through distributed damage.
Beast
Dual-carry lineup transitions from defense to offense once Soros transforms. Crimson Predator’s ATK and Crit Rate maximise Devil Form damage output.
Front-row tank transitioning to AOE carry. Demon Form grants +10% DMG Mitigation during tank phase. Aura of Fear generates +50 devil energy per ally being attacked from position 1 targeting. Castle provides raw tankiness for survival. Devil Form normal attacks hit all front-row enemies.

Dedicated healer sustaining Soros during the front-row tank phase. Battlefield Treatment prioritises the lowest-HP hero, keeping Soros alive until Devil Form transformation.
Soros in position 1 as the primary tank during the transformation phase, switching to AOE carry in Devil Form. Demon Form’s +10% DMG Mitigation helps him survive early rounds while Aura of Fear generates devil energy from every hit he absorbs. Bolton provides secondary tanking with AC Shield. Benson applies burning for Heytex’s Blaze Shark. Mira sustains Soros through the tank phase. Once Soros transforms, the lineup shifts from defensive to overwhelmingly offensive.
Beast
Triple-carry lineup benefits maximally from Crimson Predator’s offensive stats. Soros, Heytex, and Victoria all scale with ATK, DMG Bonus, and Crit Rate.
Primary tank. AC Shield provides 200% max HP shield at battle start. Super Core accelerates focus generation from position 1. Alpha Bless grants team-wide shields feeding Victoria’s Energy Detection.
Shield support. Staunch Will shields all allies, feeding Victoria’s Energy Detection and Combat Master stacks. Chimera Anchor deals chip damage per shield event. Guardian INT scales shields with rounds elapsed.
AOE carry from back-row. Demonic Power generates +60 devil energy per ally attack. Devil Form Doomsday Judgement ignores 100% DEF for 240% WPN DMG AOE. Reaper’s normal attack bonus amplifies Devil Form front-row AOE hits.
Secondary carry. Pinpoint Aim marks targets for +8% damage taken, amplifying both Soros’s and Victoria’s damage. Blaze Shark adds sustained AOE pressure.
Single-target carry. Energy Detection copies shields from Harman and Bolton. Lightsword adds 250% of shield as damage. Soros’s DEF-ignoring AOE softens targets for Victoria’s single-target finishing.
Triple-carry lineup pairing Soros’s DEF-ignoring AOE with Victoria’s single-target burst and Heytex’s sustained rocket pressure. Bolton and Harman provide front-line tanking and shields that feed Victoria’s Energy Detection. Soros sits in position 3 as a pure carry, generating devil energy through Demonic Power (each ally attack = +60 devil energy) and Aura of Fear. Once transformed, the lineup deals both AOE and single-target damage simultaneously.
Synergies
Buri’s Link of Life distributes 50% of incoming damage across all heroes, preventing Soros from being burst down during the devil energy accumulation phase. Every distributed hit triggers Soros’s Aura of Fear (+50 devil energy per ally attacked), accelerating Devil Form activation. Frosty Coffin’s crit buffs amplify Devil Form’s massive AOE.
Bolton’s AC Shield (200% max HP) and Guardian of Justice (+5% DMG Mitigation) provide front- line durability that protects Soros during the transformation phase whether Soros is in position 1 or back-row. Alpha Bless’s round 1 shields buy time for devil energy accumulation.
Heytex’s sustained rocket AOE from Pursue barrages and Blaze Shark complement Soros’s Devil Form AOE for overwhelming multi-target pressure. Pinpoint Aim’s +8% damage taken debuff amplifies Devil Form Doomsday Judgement on marked enemies.
Benson’s Hellfire burns all enemies for sustained AOE damage that runs concurrently with Soros’s Devil Form AOE. The combined burning + Devil Form normal attacks + Doomsday Judgement create triple-layered AOE pressure that overwhelms enemy healing and shields.
Victoria’s single-target burst via Lightsword complements Soros’s AOE coverage. While Soros weakens all enemies with DEF-ignoring AOE, Victoria finishes priority targets. The combined threat of AOE and single-target damage forces opponents to split defensive resources.
Interactions with other heroes’ ultimate weapons.
Frosty Coffin grants +15% crit rate and +30% crit DMG to all linked allies while Link of Life is active. Devil Form Doomsday Judgement already deals 240% WPN DMG ignoring 100% DEF — adding consistent crit chance to this massive AOE creates devastating burst potential.
AC Shield provides 200% max HP shield at battle start. This shield absorbs early-round damage while Soros accumulates devil energy, buying critical transformation time. Guardian of Justice’s +5% DMG Mitigation stacks with Demon Form’s +10% DMG Mitigation for front-row Soros.
Blaze Shark fires additional bullets when enemies are burning. While Soros’s Devil Form AOE and Benson’s Hellfire apply pressure across all enemies, Blaze Shark bullets add sustained DPS between Doomsday Judgement casts. The combined multi-source AOE overwhelms enemy healing.

Counters
- Burst lineups (pre-Devil Form) (Hard Counter) — Soros needs 1000 devil energy to enter Devil Form. Burst lineups that eliminate heroes in rounds 1-2 before Soros accumulates enough energy waste his entire carry potential, leaving the team with an untransformed hero who provides minimal offensive value.
- Casino (Hard Counter) — Casino’s Double Down drains 200 Focus from all enemies, delaying Doomsday Judgement casts and reducing combat actions that generate devil energy. This extends the vulnerable pre- transformation phase and may prevent Devil Form activation entirely.
- Silence/CC lineups (Soft Counter) — Skills that prevent Soros from attacking or casting Doomsday Judgement slow devil energy accumulation through Demonic Power (requires ally attacks) and delay transformation.
- Tank-heavy lineups (Hard Counter) — Devil Form Doomsday Judgement ignores 100% DEF, completely bypassing the defensive stat that tank-heavy lineups rely on. Multi-tank compositions with Bolton, Buri, or similar high-DEF heroes take full damage as if they had zero DEF.
- Shield-heavy lineups (Soft Counter) — Doomsday Judgement’s 240% WPN DMG AOE to all enemies overwhelms shield generation when paired with 100% DEF ignore. Shield-based defenses that reduce incoming damage through DEF are completely nullified.
Rating
A Tier. Soros is an A-tier AOE carry whose Devil Form mechanic creates one of the highest damage ceilings in the game. Doomsday Judgement ignoring 100% DEF in Devil Form bypasses the defensive stat entirely, making Soros uniquely effective against tank-heavy and high-DEF lineups that other carries struggle against. His Wreaker faction currently has no other members, meaning the Wreaker bonus (+5% WPN DEF, +5% TAC DEF, +5% HP per Wreaker) only provides a single stack. As a First-Gen hero, he requires significant real-money investment to obtain, but his unique DEF- ignoring mechanic and massive AOE burst justify the investment against the right opponents.
