Weapon MasterQuantum's Take
The Riddler is a Mythic + Supporter Champion who does Physical damage. The Riddler is best used in PvP.
They can be obtained in The Bleed (Limited).
You should focus on the following transmutes for The Riddler: Energy Gain Bonus, Healing Bonus, ATK.
The Riddler certainly shook up the meta when he appeared in the bleed for early servers. Once he shows up, your server will likely already be in a pretty substantial shield meta. Any supporter that has a shield is going to be favored over raw healing, and with Conundrum Cane The Riddler can actually do both! What we love about Riddler's kit is that he can also debuff your enemy. While early in a fight the debuffs are randomized, if you can last through a few of his ultimates, you'll actually be able to max out the stacks of ALL the debuffs he lands. He's an auto include in many top meta PvP lineups.
Strategy Guide
A powerful Supporter and disruptor, The Riddler excels at shielding allies and stacking debuffs on enemies with [Enigma]. He also has the unique ability to hide your lineup from preview in certain modes.
Recommended Legacy Pieces
Conundrum CaneSignature
The Riddler's signature gear. Continuously increases all allies' Attack and pairs perfectly with his shields. Also provides steady healing to shielded allies, plus bonus recovery when shields expire, greatly boosting your squad's survivability.
Starheart Staff
Increases nearby allies' Attack and Physical and Spiritual Defense when The Riddler casts his Ultimate. Since his Ultimate grants shields to all allies, this staff lets the squad gain shields, Attack, Physical Defense, and Spiritual Defense bonuses all at once.
Coluan Force Field Belt
Increases HP, Physical Defense, and Crit Resistance. The Riddler needs to continuously inflict [Enigma], and high survivability lets him stay in the fight longer to keep weakening foes.
Pied Piper Flute
Improves healing abilities. The Riddler's Legacy Piece heals shielded allies, so this healing bonus enhances his versatility as a shield-focused Supporter.
