Tucker
Whisker Sentinel
Watchers
Advanced Elite
Support
Tank
2: Standard support slot. Fires shields and buffs early in the round, giving carries maximum uptime on +20% ATK and +20% Speed bonuses. Close enough to the front line for Drop Your Weapon! to target the enemy’s highest-ATK hero.
3: Mid-row position. Still fires buffs before most carries. Slightly safer than pos 2 in lineups where Tucker needs to survive longer for sustained shield generation.
1: Tank position. Friend in Need’s +20% HP cap and Play with Me!’s +8% HP make Tucker surprisingly durable. Viable when no dedicated tank is available, but sacrifices early buff timing for the rest of the lineup.
Tucker is a team-wide buffer and shielder who grants all allies a shield equal to 25% max HP plus +20% ATK and +20% Speed for 2 rounds via The Tucker Shield!, making him the strongest offensive support in the Watchers faction. His Drop Your Weapon! normal attack targets the highest-ATK enemy with -20% ATK and -10% Speed for 2 rounds, directly countering opposing carries. Cat Loves You UW extends his support reach by shielding both the highest and lowest HP allies with -20% DMG taken for 2 rounds while debuffing both the highest and lowest HP enemies with +30% DMG taken, creating a comprehensive buff-debuff swing every focus skill cast.
Pros & Cons
- The Tucker Shield! grants ALL allies a shield equal to 25% max HP plus +20% ATK and +20% Speed for 2 rounds, providing the strongest team-wide offensive buff in the game.
- Drop Your Weapon! normal attack targets the highest-ATK enemy with -20% ATK and -10% Speed for 2 rounds, directly neutralising the opposing team’s primary carry.
- Cat Loves You UW shields highest/lowest HP allies with -20% DMG taken plus makes highest/lowest HP enemies take +30% DMG taken for 2 rounds, creating a comprehensive swing every focus skill.
- Play with Me! grants all allies +8% HP and +8% DMG passively, with Watchers receiving +50% bonus for +12% HP and +12% DMG, amplifying the entire faction.
- Peekaboo! makes normal attacks deal +20% max HP DMG (capped at 800% ATK), giving Tucker meaningful damage output for a support hero.
- No exclusive gear limits Tucker’s scaling potential compared to heroes with dedicated gear sets. His kit relies entirely on base skills and Cat Loves You UW.
- Anti-shield mechanics (Diesel) neutralise The Tucker Shield!’s 25% max HP shield, removing the defensive component of his primary skill and leaving only the ATK/Speed buff.
- Burst damage can kill Tucker before his focus skill fires, eliminating his entire support contribution. With no death immunity from exclusive gear, he is vulnerable to early focus fire.
Skills
Your Side All acquire a Shield equal to 12.5%/15%/17.5%/20%/25% Max HP, and self receives an enhancement of 10%/12%/14%/16%/20% ATK and 10%/12%/14%/16%/20% Speed, lasting 2 rounds.
The normal attack prioritizes the Enemy Unit with the highest ATK, applying a Weakness Status that reduces the Target’s -10%/-12%/-14%/-16%/-20% ATK and -5%/-6%/-7%/-8%/-10% Speed, lasting 2 rounds.
After releasing the Focus Skill, enhance Your Side Teammates’ 5%/5%/7%/8%/10% ATK and 5%/6%/7%/8%/10% Speed, lasting 2 rounds.
The normal attack deals additional DMG equal to 10%/12%/14%/16%/20% Max HP (up to a maximum of 800% of self ATK).
Your Side All Heroes’ HP and DMG are enhanced by 4%/4.8%/5.6%/6.4%/8%, and Watchers Heroes additionally acquire a 50% enhancement Effect.
Gear
Tucker has no exclusive gear, so the best setup depends on the lineup’s needs. Resolute provides essential death immunity. Heal amplifies his shield output. Alpha Bless adds round-1 shielding and crit immunity. Pair Heal + Resolute for maximum shield/survival, or Heal + Alpha Bless for shield stacking in lineups where Resolute is on another hero.
Death immunity 4-piece ensures Tucker survives a burst kill attempt. Without Tucker the lineup loses all his team-wide buffs, shields, and ATK debuffs. +0.4% ATK per 1% HP lost also scales Peekaboo!’s damage output.
#1 Best
4-piece +45% Healing and Shield effect amplifies The Tucker Shield!’s 25% max HP shield and Cat Loves You UW’s shields on highest/lowest HP allies. Stronger shields mean better protection for carries and more Strangler triggers for Samantha.
#2
Provides team-wide round 1 shields and crit immunity. Stacks with The Tucker Shield! for massive combined shielding in round 1. Alpha Bless shields can trigger Samantha’s Hunter’s Instinct and Victoria’s Energy Detection.
#3
Accelerates focus bar fill from pos 1 or 2. Tucker’s value is front-loaded into The Tucker Shield! — faster focus skill means earlier +20% ATK and +20% Speed for all carries.
#4
At start of each round restores HP equal to 35% of Tucker’s ATK. Passive sustain keeps Tucker alive without dedicated healing, ensuring buffs and debuffs continue firing every round.
#5
Tucker is a support/tank hybrid. Weapon and jewelry prioritise INT and Skill Effect Enhancement for buff scaling; helmet and body prioritise HP/DEF/VIT for survival. Do not roll DMG Bonus, STR, or Crit Rate — Tucker’s value is in buff application and survivability, not personal damage output.
INT, HP%, DMG Mitigation
INT scales TAC ATK for Peekaboo!’s +20% max HP DMG normal attack. HP% increases the size of The Tucker Shield!’s 25% max HP shield applied to Tucker himself. DMG Mitigation reduces incoming damage to keep Tucker alive for sustained buff application.
HP%, VIT, AGI
HP% scales shield size from The Tucker Shield! and Cat Loves You UW. VIT directly increases HP pool. AGI reduces incoming damage and protects against AGI-targeting skills.
DEF, VIT, DMG Mitigation
Pure defense. Keeping Tucker alive is the priority — his entire value comes from sustained buff and debuff application every round. Higher DEF and DMG Mitigation extend his support duration.
Skill Effect Enhancement, INT, HP%
Skill Effect Enhancement directly boosts The Tucker Shield!’s shield size and ATK/Speed buff values. INT scales Peekaboo! damage. HP% increases shield output for the entire team.

Harman adds shield generation for Victoria’s Energy Detection. Samantha handles AOE with Strangler stacking from Tucker’s and Harman’s shields.
Synergies
Tucker’s The Tucker Shield! grants Victoria a 25% max HP shield that Energy Detection copies, feeding Lightsword burst. The +20% ATK and +20% Speed buffs amplify Victoria’s already massive single-target damage. Cat Loves You UW’s shields on the lowest-HP ally frequently target Victoria (299 VIT), providing additional Energy Detection fuel.
Tucker and Harman together create a shield-generation engine. Tucker provides 25% max HP team shields with offensive buffs; Harman provides scaling shields every cast with Chimera Anchor chip damage. Together they feed shield-dependent carries like Victoria and Samantha faster than either could alone.
Tucker’s +20% ATK and +20% Speed buffs compound with Ada’s God-Slaying Axe +10% DMG and +10% DMG Mitigation. Together they provide comprehensive offensive and defensive support that no single support hero can match. Ada’s Reviving keeps Tucker alive for sustained buff application.
Tucker’s The Tucker Shield!’s 25% max HP shield triggers Samantha’s Hunter’s Instinct for Strangler layers. The +20% ATK buff amplifies Samantha’s Sweeping Slash WPN DMG. The +20% Speed buff lets Samantha act faster to use accumulated Strangler layers before enemies react.
Tucker’s +20% ATK buff directly amplifies Macklin’s Executioner focus skill and Skilled Potshots damage. Higher base ATK means Macklin’s Blue Flame bullet stacking (+10% DMG each) applies to a larger number, and Executioner’s kill-reset chains are more likely when each hit deals more damage.
Interactions with other heroes’ ultimate weapons.
Tucker’s The Tucker Shield! grants Victoria a shield that Energy Detection copies for Lightsword burst. Thunder Blade’s +200 Focus lets Victoria fire early while Tucker’s +20% ATK buff is still active. Cat Loves You UW’s shields on the lowest-HP ally (often Victoria) provide additional Energy Detection fuel.
God-Slaying Axe grants +10% DMG and +10% DMG Mitigation for 2 rounds on each Raging Roar cast. Tucker’s +20% ATK and +20% Speed stack additively with Ada’s +10% DMG, creating a combined +30% offensive buff spread across all carries. Dual support amplification makes carries disproportionately powerful.
Tucker’s The Tucker Shield! generates 5 simultaneous shield events (one per ally). Each event triggers Chimera Anchor’s 50% TAC ATK chip damage on a random enemy. A single Tucker Shield cast can trigger up to 5 Chimera Anchor hits in one round, creating massive burst chip damage alongside Tucker’s buff application.

Counters
- Diesel (Hard Counter) — Diesel’s anti-shield mechanics strip The Tucker Shield!’s 25% max HP shield from all allies. The ATK and Speed buffs remain, but the defensive shield component and all shield-dependent synergies (Victoria’s Energy Detection, Samantha’s Hunter’s Instinct) are neutralised.
- Burst damage lineups (Hard Counter) — Tucker has no death immunity from exclusive gear and no self-sustain. Burst lineups that kill Tucker before his focus skill fires eliminate his entire support contribution — no shields, no +20% ATK/Speed, no Drop Your Weapon! debuffs.
- ATK-dependent carries (Hard Counter) — Drop Your Weapon! targets the highest-ATK enemy with -20% ATK and -10% Speed for 2 rounds. Carries whose entire value scales from ATK (Heytex, Galande, Kelly) lose 20% of their damage output and act 10% slower, dramatically reducing their threat level for 2 full rounds.
- Low-shield lineups (Soft Counter) — Lineups without shield generation cannot match Tucker’s team-wide 25% max HP shields. The resulting shield advantage feeds Victoria’s Lightsword and Samantha’s Strangler while the enemy receives no equivalent protection, creating an asymmetric durability gap.
Rating
S Tier. Tucker is an S-tier support from Season X10 onward. The Tucker Shield! provides the largest team-wide offensive buff in the game — +20% ATK and +20% Speed to all allies is a massive swing that amplifies every carry in the lineup. Drop Your Weapon!’s -20% ATK debuff on the highest-ATK enemy directly counters opposing carries. Cat Loves You UW’s dual shield/debuff mechanic on highest/lowest HP heroes creates comprehensive team support every focus skill cast. Play with Me!’s +8% HP and +8% DMG to all allies (with +50% bonus for Watchers, totaling +12%) makes him a passive faction amplifier. Despite lacking exclusive gear, his unmatched team-wide buff package elevates him to S-tier.
