Colossus
Hero Skill
Restores HP equal to 1000% of Colossus' ATK to 2 friendly Heroes and creates a shield that lasts for 5s around each of these targets. When this shield is in play, Colossus takes 50% of damage (amount before DMG Reduction effects) on behalf of the shielded target. (Cooldown: 8s. When this Hero has less than 70% of his HP, he cannot receive more than 50,000 DMG per hit and becomes immune to Stun, Silence, and conditions from Calamity.)
Best Build
Colossus build analysis
Colossus is an epic support hero. Compared with the other 28 epic support heroes in the database, Colossus leans durable, with base HP near the top of its class while ATK sits lower. Among top players, the most settled part of the build is trait (HP, 39.0%) and the least settled is pet (Frozen Axe Hurl, only 3.1%), so the pet slot is where you have the most freedom to adapt.
How settled is each slot?
The pick rate of the most popular option shows how much top players agree. Colossus's top talent, Sacred Light, is picked 26.8% of the time, which is about the same as the typical hero.
| Slot | Top pick | Runner-up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent | Sacred Light (26.8%) | Dragon's Cover (7.1%) | contested |
| Insignia | Empower Insignia (20.8%) | Sacred Light Insignia (19.1%) | contested |
| Square Insignia | Lawful Shield Insignia (31.8%) | Blood Barrier Insignia (11.1%) | clear favourite |
| Equipment | Holy Conviction (18.4%) | Healing Ritual (6.2%) | contested |
| Trait | HP (39.0%) | Dodge (23.3%) | clear favourite |
| Pet | Frozen Axe Hurl (3.1%) | Frozen Axe Hurl (M) (2.8%) | no consensus |
Near-universal is 50% or more, clear favourite 30–50%, contested 15–30%, no consensus under 15%. When a slot is contested, the runner-up is usually a reasonable substitute if you don't own the top pick.
