Review, runes and strategy

Darion (Light Vagabond) is a great defense tank in Summoners War.

Darion can defense break on first skill, he could deal very great damage if runed with high HP and has an amazing passive that reduces the amount of damage on all other allies by 15%

He can be used pretty much everywhere, both pvp and pve, you can use him also in Raid Battle.

You can farm his summon pieces in his Secret Dungeon unlockable on Sundays by farming the Hall of Light

How to get Light Vagabond (Darion)

During the Hall of Light, every sunday, do more run as possible even in low floors and always look for other players in the chat room, who may have found his secret dungeon, then ask politely a friendship. Use chatroom from 100 to 120 to maximize the probability or try SD farming chat rooms like 4444 or 777. Keep in mind that you will have 1 hour at maximum to collect all the pieces, so based on your monsters do lot of floor 1 runs or go for the harder one!

I can't believe how often I hear ppl say: "You don't need Darion any more, you've got Dias!" (from the HoH). If they mean solely for Raid, I agree- Dias IS the better choice for Raid. But not for PVP and definitely not for dungeons: Darion can DEF break every turn and has 100% activation (when fully skilled) vs. Dias debuff on S2 which breaks both ATK and DEF- but is only usable every 3T. Darion also has an ATK break on his 2nd ability which is usable every 2T. Their passives are virtually identical, with Dias having a little bonus CR protection for himself. And Dias has the edge for Heal Break on S1, however he is FAR more difficult to fully skill (Vagabonds are a dime a dozen). To me, they have different purposes. Dias is a late-game Raid frontliner and Darion is PVP and Dungeon Tank. I say, build both. They are both good for different reasons.

People dont even notice that a 3xRevenge Darion is much more dangerous than a 3xRevenge Dias, even in Raids!

I prefer to build him vampire revenge to have life drain by my Darion's turn or counter attack.

Mind the V.3.5.4 buff!
Now Darion have the damage of BOTH skills scaled by HP and the attack break debuff on S2 has a better chance to activate.

AND, now the damage reduction on the passive is 20% (just like Dias´s one). So more damage overall, better protection and better debuff chances. A real gift for this awesome unit.
