Taras the Fierce, the Ukrainian Nightmare, is an absolute force to be reckoned with in Raid: Shadow Legends. I believe he is a unique character to the game that has some basis of semblance to the Ukrainian folklore hero Taras Shevchenko and some inspiration from Ivan Sirko, the great ataman of the Zaporizhian Sich Cossacks. Both of which had legendary mustaches.
He was introduced into the game in as a partner duo with Marichka the Unbreakable, another stellar Ukrainian inspired champion. Together they are quite formidable and a force to be reckoned with in the high end arena. His kit has some unique abilities in it.
Starting with his passive skills. Poise is quite tanky, giving Taras 50% damage reduction on incoming attacks. Which also destroys his max HP in the process. Fierce Battler will reduce the ATK of attack based champion's and also will place a Fear at the start of each turn on select factions.
His A3 can be incredibly devastating in the arena and other areas of the game. He is great for the Hydra and Demon Lord clan bosses. His A3 can extend buffs as well. His attacks are based off of HP, making him a tanky nuker from the start.
His A2 has a partner bonus with Marichka the Unbreakable, so that he will counterattack any time she is hit by an attack while he is alive on the team. This A2 can place a Stun debuff for two turns, which is rare. It also does double damage to champion's with higher attack than Taras.
He seems aimed at destroying attacking targets in the arena. His A1 even decreases the attack of the opponent he hits. He presents quite a few challenges in the arena and for that reason, he is one of the best champions in the game.
