Stop! Hammer Time. Gharol Bloodmaul was introduced in the first "wave" of Mythical Champions in RAID: Shadow Legends and to her, every problem looks like a nail.

BASE FORM

Starting battle as Gharol-base, a HP Mythical focusing on suppressing the enemy while defending her team, while most players associate Gharol with switching forms and proceeding to go Mallet Mode on opposition, there's plenty to work with even if you can't locate the Metamorph button on your screen. Gharol-base A2 "Hammerquake" Provokes all enemies while making her [Unkillable] for THREE turns, which means the opponent may be worse than just wasting time hitting her out of anger, due to the Passive "Kill or Cure" that not only reduces enemy buff duration (remember, reducing buff duration does not run Polymorph checks!) but also heals her team as she's struck - similar to the Undead Hordes Epic Champion Vogoth. Granted, this is not the only time the enemy may find their turns being largely wasted around Gharol-base...

A3 "Bonded by Blood" is not the most complex skill in the world, but it again takes pressure off your team with defensive buffs and feeds back into "Kill or Cure" to keep everyone else alive until Gharol Bloodmaul has had enough of sitting back and pretending to be the world's most expensive Vogoth. Unlike "Hammerquake" Mythical Books will reduce the cooldown of "Bonded by Blood" from a 5-turn cooldown to a 3-turn cooldown, while Hammerquake remains on a 4-turn cooldown so that Gharol-base can't quite act like Paragon in being perpetually Unkillable. Once you've explored both of Gharol-base's Active skills and have done what you can with the A1 "Foecrusher" you'll probably finally locate the Metamorph button which was at the bottom right of your screen the whole time. It is a good find.

Stop! Hammer Time. Gharol Bloodmaul was introduced in the first "wave" of Mythical Champions in RAID: Shadow Legends and to her, every problem looks like a nail.

ALTERNATE FORM

When using Gharol-alt, you have two choices - the skill that hits everything really hard (Calamitious Maul) or the skill that doesn't hit quite as hard but might hit them again for good measure, and again and again if you're really lucky (Magma Slam) - starting with A2 "Calamitious Maul" it scales with the amount of buffs on Gharol and ignores 30% enemy DEF, making it similar in damage to that of Taras the Fierce and his A3 "Constant Pressure" although there's no evidence that Gharol was born in Ukraine. Compared to "Constant Pressure" "Calamitious Maul" is on a turn shorter cooldown but since Gharol isn't Void affinity it can weak hit on Magic affinity Champions.

A1 "Magma Slam" has a 20% chance of repeating itself when used, and this chance rolls every time it hits, which at that point makes it look like Gharol is absolutely making sure the mouse she squashed underneath her maul is definitely dead. Even if the mouse isn't, the enemy team probably is. Then comes the Passive "Crimson Haze" which not only gives Gharol an extra 1% damage for every 1% HP she's missing, identical to the Skinwalkers Legendary Leorius the Proud, but she has similar to Ronda's "In Your Corner" Passive where she'll randomly also attack the enemy whenever another ally does - again using Magma Slam and rolling the 20% to repeat the move. This means that if opponents are going to attack Gharol-alt, they'd better not leave her on low HP otherwise they'll be dealing with only-the-Arbiter-knows how many hits from Magma Slam before they can finish the job. Of course, one thing you're able to do (and you'll see quite commonly) is Gharol Bloodmaul starting the battle using "Hammerquake" for the 3-turn Unkillable and then Metamorph into Gharol-alt to retain the Unkillable on the Attack-based form, seeing how Gharol-alt has no self defence against attack otherwise, only the attack deterrent of harshly punishing indecisive strikes.

Obviously, the AI doesn't understand this like how another player hopefully would, and has made Gharol Bloodmaul an incredibly popular pick in Hydra, with more allies to give chances at Crimson Haze attacks with and also synergy with Inquisitor Shamael against Head of Torment - given how everything Gharol-alt does is AoE and will therefore feed your team leader Turn Meter repeatedly to continue the assault. With the relatively new Slayer gear set, it can get to an almost silly amount of attacks that Gharol-alt is performing, but what better reward for summoning and building a Mythical Champion than seeing them go berserk with a colossal volcanic hammer?
