Esme the Dancer Skills and Abilities

Esme the Dancer is a legendary champion from the Barbarians faction, categorized as a Support type. Her kit boasts a wide array of buffs and debuffs, making her particularly effective against Hydra and Chimera monsters. While she may be seen as a less potent version of Uugo, Esme brings unique enhancements to the table.

Her standout ability is to boost the turn meter of your highest ATK champion by 50% each turn, which can be game-changing if you tailor your strategy around it. Consider equipping her with a Provoke set to attract more enemy attacks during waves, or deploy her against foes that rely heavily on AOE attacks. However, her buffs suffer from less than optimal uptime, so pairing her with a Buff Extension champion can significantly improve her effectiveness.
