There are some ways to build Init right in Watcher of Realms but you can also make some crucial mistakes if you don’t focus on the correct stats that will not only cost you a lot of Gold, they can also keep Init performing at the best. So, below you find all the gear, stats and artefacts that you should focus on if you plan on running Init in Watcher of Realms correctly.
Important! Check out my Hero Tier List that I just updated to see how Init performs among all heroes in the game.
Best Gear & Stats for Init
When we’re talking about the best gear for Init in Watcher of Realms, there are several important things to keep in mind. How important are basic attacks and attack speed, does this hero focus on triggering the ultimate skill often and frequently and what stats really scale the performance? For that reason there are sets that you should focus on for the set bonus that goes well with the kit of the hero, but also – and many players don’t mind that enough – even more important are the stats on the set. What is it worth if I get a set bonus that gives something like +10% DMG or +10% HP when I miss out on much more useful substats that can give you a ton of crit chance and damage instead? NEW! our new update now shows you not jsut the stats and sets you should use, but also how strong the substats need to be:
Best Sets for Init

Awaken Priorities
In order to decide if you want to use Universal Awakening Stones instead of hero copies for Awakening levels I have also every Awakening ranked so you will see if you should get them. If an Awakneing is ranked S or S+ your really can aim to spend Universal Awakening Stones in awakening, the other ones are not that much worth it. How does it help? Well, let’s say you’re at Awakening I and see that Awakening II or III are not that great but Awakening IV is, you should not spend Universal Awakening Stones for that hero unless you have 3 of them so you can bring the hero to Awakening IV.
Please mind, these rankings are the evaluation for the hero and the kit and help you IF you build this hero, not a general priority. Some heroes are not worth building and even some of their Awakenings are good for their kit doesn’t mean you should invest Universal Awakening Stones!
Artifact Recommendations for Init
Let’s talk about the Artifacts that will suit Init overall kit and role in Watcher of Realms. I have here an adapted tier list individually for this hero that is slightly different from the general artifact ier list that you can find here:
