Wodryn - Hero Wars Dominion Era

Hungry Roots spreads roots under the enemy team that hit them every second and drain their main stat, turning it into extra Strength for Wodryn. Wrath of Thorns wraps him in bark and throws a thorn back at every attacker, and the passive Will of Shoots knocks enemies into the air on critical basic attacks and heals him on critical hits from his other skills, so Crit Hit Chance matters more for him than for most tanks. K'arkh fits well next to him, since enemies thrown into the air are easy targets for K'arkh's Deadly Tendrils.

The Strength glyph comes first, as Strength is Wodryn's main stat and raises both his Health and his damage. Health is second, helping him hold the front line. Crit Hit Chance is third, since every critical hit triggers Will of Shoots for a knock-up or a heal. Physical Attack follows for more damage, and Armor is the lowest priority because his artifacts already give him a lot of it.

The Default Skin should be upgraded first, as its Strength bonus raises Wodryn's main stat. The Sakura Skin follows and adds Magic Defense, which helps against mages since Canopy Grace does not reduce magic damage.

The Ring of Strength comes first, since Strength is Wodryn's main stat. Rootbreaker, his weapon, is second and gives a large Armor bonus when it activates. Defender's Covenant, his book, is third and adds both Armor and Magic Defense.

Axel is the default patron for Wodryn and adds to his survivability as the team's tank.

Oliver adds Health and Armor, and his Eternal Bloom restores Wodryn's health when he takes physical damage below 50% Health. It stacks well with Wodryn's own healing, but both are weakened by healing denial.

Fenris adds Physical Attack and Armor Penetration for a more offensive Wodryn, and gives his basic attacks a chance to blind enemies.

Biscuit adds Armor, and Wodryn's attacks reduce the healing the enemy receives, which helps against teams with strong healers.
