Deliana is amazing for progression, she isn’t so much an end game speed run champ, but she can be utilized in decent end game teams. In this guide we will cover the main stats surrounding this champion, a list of deliana’s skills and how to use the champion in an end game guide.
This champion has a block buff which can be vital against opponents such as Siphi the Lost Bride or Duchess Lilitu. Furthermore, Deliana has a passive effect that will see her accuracy increase by 2 for every 1000 HP she has. With good gear setups it is possible to reach as high as 200 extra accuracy. Her active effect will apply strengthen to all allies when Deliana is below 50% hp. This can be particularly effective if paired with the right champions such as Kyoku or Seeker in the Arena.

Deliana Mid Game Guide
This guide we will focus on Deliana as a progression oriented champ at the mid to late game stage. Because of this, the guide will have a couple of caveats. She won’t be booked in this guide to show her abilities on a budget. It is highly recommended to book her if you do have the books though. The value of her books is massive to increase the debuff chances and decrease the skill cooldowns, however she does need a lot of them, and they can be hard to acquire.
Deliana Aura is 33% HP in All Battles. This also factors into her Passive. She has 20k base health, 33% of that is 6756 Health and 2 accuracy per 1,000 gives her another 12 Accuracy. AOE leech on A1 allows you superior wave clear and healing for the whole team. Decrease Resistance on A2 can allow you to lower the Accuracy requirements for the team a bit. A3 is excellent not only due to Block Buffs but also because it can heal your team.
Masteries
We mainly focus on the Offense and Support trees for masteries. If you are later game, the Defense tree would be recommended over Support since you won’t need Sniper or Master Hexer and counter attack chance will help in a lot for content such as Hydra.
In the Offense tree, we take traditional Clan Boss masteries, although she isn’t really a Clan Boss champion. Warmaster is amazing for extra damage on pretty much all PvE content as the T6 mastery. Pretty much every other mastery we take in the Offense tree just increases to her damage, although she doesn’t hit very hard herself, it will help her more since she has Leech on her A1 which will help keep her topped off.
In the Support tree we initially take the Accuracy nodes. The reason for this is because even though she has a passive which gives her more Accuracy, gearing at this stage can be difficult, and this will make it a bit easier to reach the required stats. Following this, we take Cycle of Magic, Sniper and Master Hexer that allows higher chance to land debuffs and lower cooldowns. When booked, these masteries lose a part of their value, especially Sniper.
Gearing Deliana
Deliana has a lot of Debuffs and they are vital to making her work, so it’s a MUST to have Accuracy on her. We also need to make sure she is using her skills to keep as much uptime on these Debuffs as possible. Due to this we need to make sure she has plenty of Speed. Finally, her passive gives us some Accuracy for extra Health, and she has pretty good base Health and it helps keep her alive, so that’s our final stat to focus on.
Recommended Main Stats:
- Gloves: HP%
- Chest: HP% or Accuracy
- Boots: Speed
- Ring: Health
- Amulet: Health
- Banner: Accuracy
You want approximately 10 times Speed and Accuracy for each level of content you are doing. For example, if you are doing Dragon 20, aim for 200+ Speed and 200 Accuracy. Do not be scared of getting more Speed, but you need to make sure you have no less Accuracy than the 10:1 rule explained just before.
Recommended Sets
- Perception (or Accuracy) and Speed
- Reflex or Relentless
- Immortal or Shield sets – This is more niche if you want her to be very tanky, prioritize the above sets first.
For Dungeon level 20s, aim for 210 Speed, 200-220 Accuracy, and decent Health, 33k is a good start point. Make sure to prioritise those stats over sets especially in the early and midgame.
Deliana Late Game Guide
Deliana in useful in Late game as well. Because of how her skill kit is oriented, this guide will be highlighting her AoE capabilities by using her in a Stun Set for wave control, similar to Psylar, however, Deliana is much closer to Scyl who is one of the most versatile Legendaries.
Deliana has tremendous book value and doesn’t require as many as some Legendaries, however, she is capable of doing her job without being booked. The main exception to this is Hydra where you really don’t want to be relying on randomness to place her Block Buffs vs the Head of Mischief.
Masteries
For this guide you can take any tree, one of the rare cases where any tree combination would work. However, we will be focusing on the Offense and Defense trees.
For the Offense tree, the main reason we take it is Warmaster. Because we primarily use her in PvE content, the extra damage can help make things a little faster. Additionally this works well with her Leech Debuff, so she is naturally able to maintain herself much better anyway.
We take the Defense tree for a few reasons. The first is, Masteries like Blast Proof and Delay Death help keep her alive, especially in places like Hydra. We also take the Counter Attack Masteries, this gives us a surprising amount of utility due to Deliana’s A1. For normal wave content such as Dungeons and FW it allows us to place Stuns more often with our set. For more boss oriented stuff like Hydra and Clan Boss it allows us to sustain through Warmaster procs on our Leech, while also reapplying Leech to make sure it doesn’t fall off.
In this build a Stun Set is used on Deliana for Crowd Control, as she is primarily a Support champion rather than a damage dealer. We want to maximize her ability to Support our team, especially in wave based content we want to take advantage of the AoE’s. We still need to be able to maintain her stats as well. We want to be rotating her turns at a relatively quick pace, and its vital she has the Accuracy to be landing her Debuffs, both the Leech and Block Buffs are important in different content. Following this, we just want to make her tanky, lucky for us, she’s got good base Health and her Accuracy scales off it.
Recommended Sets
- Stun; For this guide we use the Stun Set for the 4 piece, however, you can use Provoke to achieve a similar outcome (you can also Provoke the the Head of Decay.)
- Perception or Speed
- Immortal
Recommended Main Stats
- Gloves: HP%
- Body: HP% or Accuracy
- Boots: Speed
- Ring: HP
- Amulet: HP
- Banner: Accuracy
