Backstory

The rift between the Grrik Federation, which had a deep relationship with humans, and humans widened after the fracture incident due to the deviations of some human magicians. Enraged by their atrocities committed during the time of destruction, the Grrik king ended the friendship with humans that had lasted thousands of years, and eventually, the Grriks vowed to find salvation in their own way.
However, not all Grriks agreed with this. The ruler of Kar Mencar, Kilon, argued that there was no need to sever relations with all humans because of the deviations of some, claiming it was not true fidelity. Banished to the Great Wilderness, the border with humans, by the Grrik king who had even lost a prince, Kilon silently fought in the wilderness for the marginalized humans and Grriks.
It is not clear how Kilon safely escaped to Earth. However, once on Earth, he naturally fought for everyone and believes that saving more people is his responsibility as a ruler and a swordsman.

Kilon is an excellent tank character, capable of drawing aggro with a wide-area taunt while weakening enemies by reducing their attack power—making them great for increasing her's and your team's survivability. On top of that, Kilon can regenerate up to 40% of their max HP by defeating enemies with their Ultimate. So Be sure to target low-HP enemies or small mobs to benefit from the healing effect.
What makes Kilon even more formidable is their ability to boost her crit rate and enter an infinite counterattack state after using an active skill—turning defense into offense with her counter attacks and also helping your teammates especially against those shooter mole robots.
When it comes to building Kilon, there are two main builds:

Full Tank Build: Focus on HP% main stats to maximize survivability. A solid option is combining a 2-piece The Knight of Seven Petals with a 2-piece Harmony Set, allowing you to benefit from both Physical and All-Type DEF through set bonuses—perfectly complementing Kilon’s defensive kit.
Tank-DPS Hybrid Build: This build mixes durability with offensive power. While not recommended without a signature weapon, it becomes viable if you have Iness’s signature to support it.
You can run a full The Thousand Mile Weaver set for melee attack bonuses, or pair it with:
- 2-piece The Four Horsemen – for bonus Crit Damage
- 2-piece Wind that Wanders the World Set – for increased movement Speed
Choose based on your preferred playstyle and the stats you need you're free to pick whatever 2pc bonus stats you need.

For Sub Stats: Max HP > Melee Attack > AP recovery = Crit > Anything else.

Recommended Teams

Kilon is an incredibly versatile tank who can slot into nearly any team composition where a durable frontline is needed. Whether you're lacking Mahari or another top-tier tank for Dopamine content, she's a reliable replacement thanks to her wide-range taunt, attack debuffs, and self-sustain.
