Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Dredrin — Hero Guide

Shield is Dredrin's flagship path and the reason to build him. Shield Field grants a Barrier equal to 50% of his Defense and makes him immune to Reactions while the stance is held; the stance lasts up to 10 sec and ends when the Barrier is removed. Crucially, every time he is hit while the stance is up, all allied heroes gain +5% Defense for 40 sec, stacking up to five times — a +25% team Defense buff he builds simply by tanking. Shield Crush deals 70% of Attack and adds bonus damage equal to 30% of his Defense per hit, so even his offense scales off the defensive stat you are already stacking.

His Ultimate, Pure Garden, increases all allied heroes' Defense by 20% and grants Max HP equal to 100% of his own Defense for 20 sec — a large team survivability swing. The passive Strong Determination is the safety net: each time he is hit while at 30% HP or lower, the whole team gains a Barrier worth 18% of Max HP for 20 sec, on a 60 sec cooldown. This is a complete, self-contained defensive package from a free SR.

Axe turns Dredrin into a crowd-control enabler. Power Crash is a chargeable hit dealing 71% at low charge and 119% fully charged, and a fully charged attack Stuns the enemy for 5 seconds — his own hard CC. Battle Cry deals 121% and restores 300 Tag Gauge whenever it hits an enemy already affected by Petrify, Freeze, Stun, or Paralysis, so it feeds your rotation while a status is up. Note this is the non-elemental path — it deals raw Attack-based damage rather than an element.

The payoff is the Ultimate and passive working off the same condition. Giant's Cry deals 186% and increases damage dealt to enemies affected by Petrify / Freeze / Stun / Paralysis by 30%, and the passive Battle Sense decreases a status-locked enemy's Defense by 10% for 30 seconds. The whole path is gated on a status being active, so it shines when your team already applies hard CC — pair it with a reliable Petrify/Freeze/Stun source.

Rapier is Dredrin's resource-support path. Light Pulse deals 76% of Attack and increases his own Magic Charging Efficiency by 10% for 40 seconds, while Divine Will deals 136% and restores 50 Magic Gauge on each hit — keeping his (and his rotation's) resources topped up. The passive Dueling Spirit adds a further +15% Magic Charging Efficiency whenever he is at 3 or fewer Magic Points, so the path self-sustains when low on resources.

His Ultimate, Divine Combat, increases the Attack of allies in range by 10% for 15 seconds — a modest but unconditional team damage buff. Rapier is the weakest path for personal output and the support effect is small, so treat it as a budget resource/Attack enabler rather than a primary pick; Shield is the stronger support choice for most teams.

The pattern matches every hero: odd levels (1, 3, 8) are flat Attack / Defense / Max HP — smaller values here because Dredrin is an SR — and even levels are the meaningful skill amplifiers. Prioritise reaching the amp levels for whichever path you committed to.

Dredrin's universal pick is Black Flame Wings (activating a Burst → +28% Attack and +6% Crit Chance for 10 sec), available across his weapon types. On a budget SR, Crimson Flame (Burst → +28% Attack) and Jet-black (Ultimate → 20% chance of +50% Crit Chance for 7 sec) are accessible options. For the Shield Warden path specifically, Unyielding Spirit (Sword & Shield) increases Barrier Efficiency by 12% — a direct multiplier on Shield Field and Strong Determination's Barriers. Note Gluttonous Soul on Axe grants Fire damage and on Sword & Shield grants Earth damage, which mostly matters for damage-focused builds, not his support role.

Which Dredrin weapon should I build first?

Shield for most accounts — it is the cheapest way to add a real defensive anchor: a Barrier worth 50% of Defense, +5% team Defense per hit (max 5 times), Pure Garden's +20% Defense and Max-HP grant, and the Strong Determination team Barrier at low HP. Build Axe if your team reliably applies Petrify / Freeze / Stun / Paralysis for the +30% Giant's Cry damage and Battle Sense Defense shred, and Rapier only if you specifically need Magic-regen sustain plus the +10% ally Attack.

Is Dredrin worth building as an SR?

Yes for his defensive-team value. He is free and cheap to ascend, and the Shield path's Barriers, stacking team Defense and Max-HP Ultimate scale your whole core's survivability while you build toward premium SSRs. He has almost no personal damage — he is a support, not a carry, and not an endgame damage headliner.

What does the Shield path's Pure Garden do?

Pure Garden is Dredrin's Shield Ultimate: it increases all allied heroes' Defense by 20% and grants them Max HP equal to 100% of his own Defense for 20 sec. Combined with Shield Field's Barrier (50% of Defense) and the +5%-per-hit team Defense stack, the Shield path turns his Defense stat into a team-wide survivability buff.

Does Dredrin have Combined-Attack partners?

No. His in-game data ships no 2-hero Combined-Attack entries and no fixed 3-hero combos, and no team-bonus text — there is no listed combo pairing to recommend, so nothing is invented here. Use the live community teams below to see how players actually run him.

What does his world passive do?

Garden of Vitality temporarily restores and increases the Stamina of Dredrin and his party for a set duration — a traversal/exploration utility. It has no combat effect and does not change his damage.
