Claim it — it's free
The Priest is a free DLC: open the store and add it at no cost. Do this as soon as you can field a second hero. In an idle game where the party fights for hours without you, a healer that also buffs your damage is worth far more than another damage dealer that lets the team die while you're away. It's the single highest-value free decision you can make.
Stat & affix priority
| Priority | Stats | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cooldown Reduction | Heal and buff more often — the Priest's whole job. |
| 2 | Healing Power | Bigger heals keep the party alive on harder stages. |
| 3 | HP / Survivability | A dead healer heals nothing — don't let it die first. |
| 4 | Attack | Minor; only after the above are covered. |
The Rune of Awakening trick
The Rune of Awakening gives a second skill slot. On the Priest that means it can run a heal and a buff at the same time instead of picking one. It's the highest-impact rune for this class — prioritise it once your core team is set.
How to play it
Slot the Priest behind your tank and let it work — it auto-casts. Build it for uptime (cooldown) and keep it alive, and it quietly multiplies the rest of your party's effectiveness. Because it keeps everyone standing, the Priest is what makes long AFK sessions safe.
Best teams for the Priest
The Priest is the support slot in essentially every good comp:
See the best team guide for full reasoning. If you ever skip the Priest, you'll need to over-invest in defensive gear and lifesteal to compensate — usually not worth it.
FAQ
Is the Priest free?
Yes — a free DLC. Claim it in the store; it's the best free pickup in the game.
What stats should I build?
Cooldown reduction and healing first, then survivability. Damage is a non-priority.
Why Awakening on the Priest?
The second skill slot lets it heal and buff at once — a big upgrade for an idle support.
Do I need a healer?
For a hands-off idle game, almost always yes — a healer beats a second DPS for keeping the team alive while you're away.
