The Seven Deadly Sins New Heimdall Pull and Stall Team Guide

Summon New Heimdall in The Seven Deadly Sins only if your roster already features dedicated defensive supports or Ragnarok and Unknown heroes. Heimdall is an attrition-focused frontline tank designed to blunt early-turn cleave teams in PvP. He does not function as a standalone offensive carry, so pulling him without defensive partners or adequate gear will leave your team lacking damage and vulnerable to sustained pressure.

Evaluate your current roster and Diamond reserves before spending resources on Heimdall's banner:

Roster Archetype: Skip the banner if your account relies on aggressive Human or Demon burst compositions. Heimdall provides zero synergy for fast-paced offensive teams.
Support Availability: Summon only if you have built partners who convert sustained defense into offensive pressure or provide reliable healing and debuff cleansing.
Diamond Reserves: Hold your Diamonds if you need upcoming festival characters or universal carries. Niche stall anchors require specialized teams to yield competitive results.

Best Team Composition

Heimdall performs best when surrounded by units that punish attackers for targeting defensive buffs, supply active recovery, or grant passive backline mitigation.

Hero Slot	Recommended Character	Strategic Role
Primary Tank	New Heimdall	Absorbs burst attacks, stacks defensive buffs, and anchors the frontline.
Counter / Threat	Baldr or Thor	Supplies retaliatory damage and offensive pressure behind defensive shields.
Sustain / Support	LR Liz or Freyja	Cleanses debuffs, recovers HP, and scales baseline team stats.
Sub Slot (Backline)	Nanashi or Ragnarok Ban	Boosts team defensive stats unconditionally and provides passive ultimate gauge control.

This setup forces opponents to choose between hitting into counter-attacks and defensive stat triggers or ignoring your frontline while your team builds Ultimate Move gauges.

Equipment and Substat Priority

Heimdall's performance scales through battlefield longevity and Combat Class (CC), not offensive critical hits.

Equipment Set: Equip a four-piece HP (Life) set and a two-piece Defense (Iron Wall) set.
Top Pieces (Bracer and Ring): Roll base Attack percentage substats.
Middle Pieces (Necklace and Earrings): Roll standard Defense percentage substats. Avoid Crit Resistance or Crit Defense rolls unless base Defense values are already maxed out.
Bottom Pieces (Belt and Rune): Roll pure HP percentage substats to maximize team CC and total survivability.

Matchup Strategy and Tactical Counters

Play defensively on early turns to build momentum:

Prioritize Defense Over Damage: Use opening turns to cycle Heimdall's defensive cards, stance abilities, and ally sustain skills. Establishing defensive layers before the opponent unloads burst cards prevents first-turn eliminations.
Countering Infection: Severe anti-heal effects shut down your recovery engine. Hold debuff cleansing cards or immunity skills to remove Infection immediately before your frontline collapses.
Baiting Buff Removal and Stance Cancels: Opponents running buff-wiping skills can strip Heimdall's survivability. Play secondary buff or utility cards first to draw out stance cancellations before committing core survival skills.
Handling Pierce and True Damage: High-penetration attacks bypass standard defense stacking. Against pierce teams, rely on backline damage reduction passives and continuous HP recovery to endure prolonged trades.
