Hakaar the Destroyer

In life, the name of Hakaar the Destroyer was synonymous with dealing death. Exalted for his countless mighty deeds, this bloody ancestor once more joins his ruthless people on the battlefield. A terrifying construct fueled by spectral energy, Hakaar wields his twin great swords with terrible skill, drinking in the life energy of those that fall beneath their heavy onyx blades.

Thoughts on Hakaar the Destroyer

Hakaar the Destroyer in a nutshell

Hakaar is an upgraded Ancestral Guardian. More expensive - but far harder hitting with the Combo Smite, tougher due to the Soul Shield, and faster (especially when you need it) due to Righteous Vengeance. And as expensive as a light warbeast although harder hitting than most.

Combos & Synergies

• Supreme Aptimus Zaal - Best pals since Soul Converter was corrected in an infernal ruling. And his Veteran Leader really helps. Finally he can be taken in any theme force by Zaal, and is generally the most expensive solo Zaal can get for free.
• Zaal the Ancestral Advocate - a feat to buff the ARM of constructs can be amazing and allows Hakaar to hit ARM 26 (!) on Feat turn. Veteran Leadering Zaal himself is just nice.
• Supreme Archdomina Makeda - Storm Rager on Hakaar can be terrifying.
• Immortals and Ancestral Guardian - Veteran Leader is nice.
• Abidan the Keeper can be returned to play by Hakaar.
• Extoller Novititate can both repair Hakaar and give him a damage buff. With five attacks in his activation Hakaar is arguably the best damage buff recipient/
• Immortal Vessel - +1 to hit with the Spirit Eye is cute.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Low DEF
• Soul dependent.
• Pricy, for a solo.
  • He can no longer be a requisition option.

Tricks & Tips

• Zaal2's Aura of Power does wonders with him while he is fully loaded, as he can then both buy more attacks with his own souls, and fully boost them with Zaal's. Five boosted pow13, or three pow13 and a pow18 is a huge damage potential for a solo.
