Overview
String Demon (Awakened) is the widest-ranging unit a new account can actually get. On the official community tier list it appears in three separate categories — 8th in DPS, 3rd in Utility and 5th in Crowd-Control — which only Shadow and Puppet also manage, and both of those are Top 5 units. Its kit is built around a Cocoon that deals strong damage and crowd-controls what it catches, plus a synergy that amplifies the damage of units placed near it. That second half is the part people underuse: String Demon is worth more standing beside your carry than off in its own lane.
Why A tier: A. Three-category coverage from a Beginner's Banner Mythic is exceptional value, but it does not top any single category — it is the unit that makes the rest of your board better rather than the one that carries it.
How to get String Demon
- 1Beginner's Banner at 12.5% — one of the eight fixed Mythics there.
- 2Finishing the Beginner's Quest event grants enough Beginner's Tickets to reach guaranteed Mythic pity, which is the free route to this unit.
- 3Standard and Mini banners at the 0.25% Mythic rate; Mythic pity is 400 summons (20,000 Gems, or 16,000 with VIP).
