Malka
Kit Overview
Summary
Between ample survivability and Pride of the Forge, Malka is a solid support Adventurer. Although his own outbound damage is average, Pride of the Forge improves DPS for the rest of the team and has a low SP cost relative to similar team buffs.
Why This Tier?
- Poison res is scarce among the Light roster, making him a valuable pick for Shadow IO.
- Although its uptime can be improved with regen, Full HP Defense is likely to be wasted on a glancing blow, leaving Malka without a useful passive for the majority of battle.

| About | |
|---|---|
A master craftsman who adorns himself in gold armor. Some think he did so to show off his wealth, but there's a deeper reason for it. His fervor for armor burns hotter than a furnace, and his need to save lives is stronger than steel. |

Character Stats
Overview
Malka the Golden Armorer is a support-focused Light Lance user. Blaze of Gold is an AoE whirlwind attack good for damaging a large numbers of enemies, while Pride of the Forge, his second Skill, offers a respectable 10% Strength boost for 15 seconds. His Full HP Defense passive is spotty at best, but thanks to 75% Poison Res, he's a great pick for Shadow IO, especially alongside a regen healer.
Strengths
Good Team Support
With a good Strength buff and the popular HP Co-Ability, Malka provides both offensive and defensive buffs for his team.
Well Suited for IO
Thanks to Poison Resistance and his AoE Skill, Malka is a great pick for Shadow IO.Â
Weaknesses
Needs Team Support
Being an offensive support means Malka will still need teammates to cover healing.Â
Low-Average Stats
Being a natural 3★ Adventurer, Malka’s stats are already lower, but he is also balanced with no specialty. With neither high strength or HP, his ability as a tank or DPS is rather reduced compared to other choices.
Dragon Recommendations
- Cupid: Offering an excellent Strength boost and some much needed recovery for Malka, this is the best choice.
- Liger: A mixed dragon best helps Malka bolster his middle of the road stats into more of a tank role.
- Lindworm: The superior budget choice for Light DPS units thanks to her pure STR boost.
Weapon Recommendations
Thunder King’s Greatspear: The top Light Lance with high stats and an excellent active skill. Rather overkill for Malka's current content.Â
Lonesome Wish: This Void lance has Dull res, allowing Malka to perform adequately in Obsidian Golem, but it is also an effective budget choice elsewhere.
Jack-o’-Lance: A decent budget choice for those who acquired it. The active skill is very welcome.
Wyrmprint Recommendations
Pair 1
Pair 2
With middling stats, Malka’s damage is in need of some help, making Skill Damage the best path. Skill Haste also helps accelerate his buffs for slightly more uptime.
The best damage option for Malka is Dragon and Tamer, with Jewels of the Sun being a great support option.
