Headless Horsemen ★★★
"Hatred makes me fearless. Make this a better world, young kid."
Introduction
Headless Horseman is a horrible creature born from people's hatred. When he is around, there is nothing but hatred.
Chronicle
Chapter 7: Screams from the Hollow
Once a noble knight, he suffered a gruesome death when his head was cut clean from his shoulders during a fierce battle. At the moment of death, hatred and anguish consumed him and his soul became a spectre. He now has an undying hatred for the living and roams the night spreading death and destruction.
Strange Disappearance
Valley of Sleep was an ancient battlefield, people later built a village over it because it was peaceful. Until one day people started to disappear. It seemed everytime it happened people heard sound of hooves in the night.
Legend of Valley of Sleep
The elders of the village tremble as they tell this story: When the night is dark, the Headless Horseman will show up at the Village of Sleep. Everytime his horse neighs, someone dies. Legend says he is only looking for his head, but the elders don't think so
Deathly Village
“We need the help of the Night Sentinel！”，“I can't take this anymore！”，“Let's just abandon this place and run for our lives.”……The people's fear kept growing, whenever night comes, it gets deathly quiet, not a sound was heard.
Night Sentinel
The Night Sentinel gazed into the forest full of mist, hand on the bow, face blank of expression. The real battle is about to begin, should be a strong adversary.
Show Down
A shriek broke the silence of the Valley of Sleep, with it, out of the mist came a rider clad with armor on an undead horse. Except the horseman was not headless, but with a burning blue skull.
Use on Your Team
Headless Horseman's ultimate skill can cause damage on all his enemies and get the chance to silence a rival at the same time. His second skill can absorb HP and Rage. Epic skill can increase his attack. Headless Horseman is good at controlling and causing lots of damage. It is a good idea to use him as an assistant tank. You can get the Headless Horseman from Ancient Arena with 1000 ancient arena tokens and from Mystic Divination.
You may want to use him at Wharf boss fights to silence the boss - so there is no "Arcane in your face" - or in PvP, where you got nothing good against a strong tank. However, while Headless isn't maxed all the way, he can miss quite a lot. So, maybe it is a good idea to assign a hero to the team who can increase hit and crit - otherwise his high attack might not be as useful as it seems.
Hence he is not a real tank - at least there are much better ones out there -, you may want to spare his life and place him behind someone. Unless you are doing boss fights where the boss and the minions got low attack: In that case place him front for faster rage gathering.
While Exorcist can also silence enemies and can silence more than two heroes, Headless Horseman got higher skill chance and you can aim a whole row. He can be rather good against heroes whose values depends on skill usage (e.g. Jack Hallow).
HH is more like a "use when needed" hero, than a "use all the time" type. Unless there's a high level and defense difference, he won't op the battlefield.
