Septimus can help with late-game boss encounters, but the supplied details do not support treating him as a carry for every mode. Consider building him if your team needs boss damage or longer debuff uptime; if your main problem is wave clearing or survival, he does not address that gap.
Where Septimus fits
The draft describes Septimus as a single-target damage dealer whose damage benefits against enemies with large health pools. It also says he can extend debuffs already on a target. Together, those functions make him a possible fit for boss teams that depend on damage and debuff uptime.
That value depends on your other Champions: allies must land the debuffs before Septimus can extend them. If they do not, the extension provides no benefit. The supplied information does not establish that he will improve every boss run or outperform another damage dealer.
Where he may not solve your problem
The draft identifies wave clearing and Arena defense as weaker fits, describing Septimus as focused on single-target damage and lacking defensive tools. If your bottleneck is clearing groups of enemies or keeping a team alive, building him is not a direct answer to it.
The draft also warns that bosses that remove or block debuffs can limit the value of debuff extension. Check whether the encounter allows your debuffs to remain in place before relying on Septimus for that function.
Decide whether to invest
Build Septimus if boss damage or maintaining debuffs is a specific gap in your roster, and you already have Champions who can reliably apply those debuffs. If your team is instead failing to survive or clear waves, prioritize that problem rather than expecting Septimus to carry those parts of progression.
