Blacksmith

Standard Evolutions:
Blacksmith I, II, III"'Their hammers helped forge the Dawn of Steel, pounding skulls like anvils while mending their allies.'"

Elite Evolution:
Anvil"'Anvil has a hammer forged in the heavens and a mustache crafted by the Ancient Gods themselves.'"

Strategy:
Evolve to add life steal effects to his Vital Hammer, providing even more passive healing. Evolve to Blacksmith III to guarantee a Cleanse when using Repair. The Cleanse effect is incredibly powerful, as it can eliminate or negate your opponents’ strategies: remove a stun from an ally; remove a weaken stack before an ally attacks; remove Poison.

Items:
Try a Protect item to make your Blacksmith extra tough to take down, then add  an Invigorate item for super health generation! Use an Unstoppable item to prevent enemies from disabling your Blacksmith and negating his powerful Cleanse.

Team:
Since the Blacksmith only has one attack, it’s imperative to team him up with some damage dealers. He’s great with the versatile Dwarf. Or match him up with some low-health high-powered characters like a Hellkite, Bandit Girl, or Stone Warlock.
