Iso-8

Steel Serpent will passively gain Assist Now on every Immortal Weapon ally turn. Because of this, it’s beneficial for the team if he is assigned the Skirmisher Iso-8 class. This way, both his damage when assisting and the overall team’s damage (especially if there are Strikers who can follow up on the Vulnerable he applies with his assist) will be increased.

Besides Skirmisher, Raider is also a good Iso-8 class for him, since most of his attacks hit multiple enemies. This would further boost his potential damage output.

T4 Priority

P – Passive ability

U – Ultimate ability

S – Special ability

B – Basic ability

Passive – Steel Serpent will make the Immortal Weapon team immune to Vulnerable in Raids. In other words, the Vulnerable effect cannot be applied to Immortal Weapon characters during Raids.

Ultimate – He will deal increased damage and, in Raids, reduce the Speed Bar of all enemies by 25% on kill. This upgrade gives you much better control in Raids, making it easier to manage enemy turns and secure victories.

Special – Increase the damage dealt to both primary and secondary targets. In Raids, it will also reduce the Speed Bar by 25%. This is an excellent upgrade for the functionality of the Immortal Weapon team in Raids, as the Speed Bar reduction will prevent enemies from taking their turns as quickly, giving your team an advantage.

Basic – Deal increased damage and apply Trauma to targets that have Offense Down, Defense Down, and Slow if we max it. While this isn’t an essential upgrade since you won’t be using Steel Serpent’s Basic very often, it can still be useful in certain situations.

About Character

Steel Serpent, known by his real name Davos, is one of the most complex and enduring characters from the mystical city of K’un-Lun. The son of Lei Kung, the Thunderer, Davos was raised in an environment that valued strength, discipline, and honor. He trained relentlessly and was considered a natural candidate to become the next Iron Fist. However, when the sacred power was instead bestowed upon Danny Rand, Davos was consumed by disappointment, jealousy, and a burning desire to prove himself worthy.

Embracing the identity of Steel Serpent, Davos developed his own formidable martial arts skills and learned to harness and manipulate chi with incredible effectiveness. Unlike other warriors, he possesses the unique ability to drain chi from others—temporarily stealing their powers, weakening them, and making himself even stronger. This ability, combined with his relentless determination and combat expertise, makes him a dangerous adversary and a powerful ally.

Throughout his history, Steel Serpent has often been portrayed as an antagonist to Iron Fist, driven by personal rivalry and a quest for recognition. Yet, his story is also one of inner conflict, as he frequently wrestles with issues of pride, legacy, and redemption. Despite his often antagonistic role, Davos’s actions are not always purely villainous; he is shaped by a deep sense of honor and the traditions of K’un-Lun, sometimes stepping into the role of an anti-hero.

As a member of the Immortal Weapon team, Steel Serpent brings unmatched martial prowess, deep knowledge of mystical arts, and a fierce will to overcome any obstacle. His presence adds a layer of tension and complexity to the group, especially in interactions with Iron Fist. Nonetheless, when united against common threats, Steel Serpent’s skills and experience become invaluable assets, helping the team protect both K’un-Lun and the wider world from mystical dangers.

Steel Serpent is a Controller who combines strong damage output with powerful crowd control. He excels at applying negative effects to enemies and reducing their positive effects, making it difficult for opponents to maintain their buffs or recover during battle. Additionally, Steel Serpent can assist his Immortal Weapon allies, providing support that enhances the team’s overall effectiveness.

One of his key strengths is his ability to passively prevent enemies from reducing the Speed Bar of Immortal Weapon characters, ensuring his team maintains their momentum. In Raids, he goes even further by stopping enemies from applying Vulnerable to the Immortal Weapon team, adding another layer of protection.

Steel Serpent is especially dangerous to enemies afflicted with Slow—a debuff he frequently applies with all of his abilities. When Slowed enemies are attacked, he passively reduces the attacked enemy’s Speed Bar (in Raids, he reduces the Speed Bar of all enemies). His Ultimate ability is a heavy-hitting move that first clears Barrier from his foes, then deals increasing damage based on the number of negative effects the target has and positive effects he has. This makes him an essential part of the Immortal Weapon team, combining offensive power, control, and team support.
