Water	Water	Fire	Light	Dark

Buffs & Debuffs:

Armor-piercing (effect):
The attack pierces Armor, that is, it ignores the Damage Reduction granted by the target's Armored trait and deals full damage.

ATK+ (buff):
Affected target has an increased boost to ATK stats, increasing its damage and healing output of its abilities.

Burn Immune (immunity):
Can't be burned and/or takes no damage from Burn debuffs. Damage Over Time caused by Burn debuffs doesn't occure but can take damage from Fire attacks. See also Fire Immune.

Chill Immune (immunity):
Can't be Chilled which would stop the regeneration of the energy to use special attacks.

CRIT+ (buff):
Affected target has a boost to CRIT, increasing their chances of successfully landing a critical hit on healing or damage attacks for three turns. CRIT boost is dependant on the level of the skill. Additional application of the effect refreshes its duration.

DEF+ (buff):
Affected target has a boost to DEF stat, reducing the amount of damage they take for the next 3 turns. Additional application of the effect refreshes its duration. The amount DEF boosted is based on the level of the skill.

Disease Immune (immunity):
Can't be Diseased.

Extra attacks (effect):
The target or allies have the chance to do an extra basic attack. This can be a result of a buff (like Haste), or granted by a trait (like Valkin's Lead By Example). There are also a few rare runes that have a passive/4th stat (20% chance for an extra attack). An extra basic attack can trigger an Epic effect (with a few exceptions like Hog Wild). Note: There is no icon for this effect. It's used on this wiki page only.

Feared (debuff):
Feared targets take 2x more damage from all sources of damage for two turns. In addition, there is a chance that they run away defeated at 20% or less health. Subsequent applications of the effect refreshes its duration.

Freeze immune (immunity):
Can't be Frozen.

Frozen (debuff):
Target can't move, can't dodge attacks and can't attack. Their turn is skipped until the status effect expires. Lasts for one turn. Subsequent application of the effect increases the duration of Frozen by one additional turn.

Haste (buff):
Affected target takes a second chance on their turn and has an increased Dodge chance until the end of the next turn. The Dodge chance is based on the level of the skill.

Poison Immune (immunity):
Can't be Poisoned. (See also Venom Immune.)

Possession Immune (immunity):
The dead body of this hero cannot be possessed.

Shock Immune (immunity):
Shocked debuff cannot be applied, and doesn't take damage from Shocked allies.

Unbreakable Heart (buff):
Avoids death from a death blow, health will stay at 1 HP.

Undodgeable (effect):
All or specific attacks of this hero cannot be dodged. The attack always hits the target.

Usage In PvP

Currently, on September 11, 2018, High King Valkin is popular in PvP, used with 2 dwarves, interchangable between Hagrim Felhorn, Therand Fiddlestrom, and Dagrund Blacksmoke. Then, the remaining hero is Archangel Emily, as her ability to revive is very good within this meta. In high level range (around level 65 to 80) these dwarfs and Emily often have Unbreakable Heart, Healer and Tank Runes on them, making them a strong defense for My Dungeon.

Valkin is immune to several debuffs due his Impervious trait. His Lead By Example lets all allies follow his attack on his target.

Dwarfs, with their Dwarven Resolve , deal extra damage to opponents who have a high dodge ability ( Evading) like Rogues, Yokozuna, and Lily Blossom's when she used her Pollen Cloud buff.

Notes and Tips

The legendary High King Valkin appeared the first very time on September 15, 2016 for 4 days in Heroic Portal Summons. He is the 65th Hero in Dungeon Boss.

High King Valkin gets a 30% ATK + DEF self buff from his Dwarven High King on top of his excellent attack and defence stats when fully ascended. His Epic Hugin and Munin replaces this trait by Epic Dwarven High King which passively buffs his attack and defense by 50%.

Hero Updates

Since this recent Dwarf update Valkin was not only Fear Immune but immune to all debuffs due his Invulnerable trait.

The update on December 18, 2018 replaced Invulnerable with Impervious . That is, Valkin cannot be Poisoned, Burned, Frozen, Chilled, envenomed by Venom, Shocked, nor Diseased. But he can be Feared now, and debuffed again.
