Jester in Last Asylum: Plague
Jester is a UR Warlock damage dealer who earns A from 2 of 2 ranking lists. The game itself shows him as Joker, which is the same hero. He throws cards from the back row at the enemies with the lowest HP, so he finishes wounded targets while the Tanks hold the line. Jester becomes available when the server reaches day 13, the same day as Annie, and he pays off most after his star upgrades.
Joker Stats
Joker is a UR Warlock damage dealer. At level 1 Joker has 57 ATK, 3,208 HP and 36 DEF, and a Command (CMD) of 52, the number of troops the hero leads. With level 150 and 50 star steps (10 full stars) done, Joker climbs to 23,158 ATK, 1,341,781 HP and 14,534 DEF, with 350 CMD. That puts Joker 4th of 31 heroes in ATK, 16th in HP and 11th in DEF. ATK is the best of the three, inside the top five of 31.
The numbers above come from level and star upgrades alone. In battle the exclusive weapon, awakening, gear, base buildings and Ravens add more, so the full build reaches 913,583 power. In power at full build, Joker is 14th of 31. Without a single star, level 150 alone already gives 18,014 ATK, 1,043,647 HP and 11,305 DEF. Joker needs 10 shards to unlock and 975 more for the 50 star steps. One UR Hero Omni Shard counts as 1 hero shard. Once a hero has full stars, it can enter the Hall of Honor; the honor level goes up to 600 there.

Jester Skills
Jester attacks from long range, one throw every 0.83 seconds, and his auto attack and top skill both go for the weakest enemy in sight. Skill levels run from 1 to 40 in the table, with the hero star behind each upgrade. Stars are steps here too, as the heroes list describes.

Unlocks at hero level 30 and star 40
|
Joker Ace recharges every 15 seconds and throws two joker cards at the two lowest-HP enemies for 706.65% to 2,019% ATK. Star 10 adds 40% damage, star 30 lifts the bonus to 150% and star 50 gives him a third target. The full skill reaches 5,047.5% ATK. Hearthunt Red Card fires every 5 seconds at two random targets for 283.5% to 810% ATK, and star 45 sets the target on fire for 400% ATK per second over 3 seconds. Frenzied Emotion adds 8.2% to 16% Crit Rate, and Deal Cards hits the lowest-HP target for up to 747% ATK.
Skill Priority
Guides that order Jester's skills put the top skill first and the active skill second.
- Joker Ace. It has the biggest numbers of any skill he owns, and its full damage arrives by star 30.
- Hearthunt Red Card. A short cooldown makes it his most frequent skill, and stars 15, 35 and 45 add damage and the burn.
- Frenzied Emotion. More crits help every card he throws, and stars 20, 45 and 50 push the bonus to 24%.
- Deal Cards. The auto attack closes the list, and Tenacity is not upgraded with badges.
The upgrade guide prices every skill level. If your squad has no front row yet, fix that first: a damage dealer who targets the weakest enemy needs time, and the Tanks buy it.
How to Get Jester
Day 13 is when Jester shows up, on the same day as Annie, and 10 Jester Shards unlock him. No premium pack stands between a free account and him. Tickets, pity and Omni Shards are explained on the heroes list.
The other Warlocks arrive later. Billy unlocks on day 83 and Nicole on day 97, so the early Warlock squad runs with Annie, Ulfrid and Arthur.
Jester or Annie
The two arrive together and share a faction, so players ask which one to build first. Annie leads on the tier list and on full-build power (916,394 against 913,583), and she burns enemies with Energy DMG. Jester deals Physical DMG and picks the weakest targets. The video below compares the two.
Build Annie first if you can only pick one, and add Jester when you want a second damage dealer that finishes low-HP enemies. Annie's page has the full comparison table with skills, power and awakening side by side.
Gear and Awakening
Neither the weapon Illusion Card nor awakening changes his skills, so for Jester both tracks are about raw stats. The awakening bonuses will appear when his window opens in Era of Revival. The awakening page has the shard details, and the gear page explains the regular upgrades. All of his skill growth comes from stars and skill levels.
| Track | Illusion Card | Awakening |
|---|---|---|
| To start | 30 weapon shards | 50 Awaken Shards |
| Top of the track | Star 50, 975 more shards | Level 40, 2,870 Awaken Shards in total |
| HP | 1,251,000 | Not open yet |
| ATK | 8,750 | Not open yet |
| DEF | 8,750 | Not open yet |
| Skill changes | None | None |
The star that matters most is star 30, where the top skill reaches its full 5,047.5% ATK. The climb to it costs 175 shards, out of 975 for the complete 50 stars, and star 50 then adds the third target.
Best Team for Jester
Jester sits in the back row, and the squads around him pair Tanks with other Warlocks or with a strong damage dealer. The rows follow lineup advice and the faction bonus steps.
| Squad | Heroes | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Warlock squad | Ulfrid, Billy, Nicole, Annie, Jester | The full 20 percent faction bonus, once Billy and Nicole unlock |
| Four Warlocks and Arthur | Arthur, Ulfrid, Billy, Annie, Jester | A 15 percent bonus and two damage dealers behind three Tanks |
| Warrior-led squad | Arthur, Daskal, Harper, Billy, Jester | Three Warriors and two Warlocks for a 10 percent bonus |
| Hybrid finisher | Arthur, Louis, Marlena, Jester, Red Lady | Accounts with these heroes already built and a taste for finishing weak targets |
The first row is the long-term plan, and the second works before Nicole arrives. Further lineups appear on the best team page; every partner above can be checked on the tier list as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Annie or Jester better?
Annie, both by tier and by power. She holds A+ against A for Jester, and she reaches 916,394 power against 913,583. Jester is the better finisher, because his main skills pick the lowest-HP enemies. Annie's page holds the full side-by-side table.
How do I get Jester?
Jester becomes available on day 13 of a server, the same day as Annie, and 10 Jester Shards unlock him. A free account can reach him by saving shards for him alone, since no premium pack gates him. He shares his unlock day with Annie, so the two compete for the same early shards.
Which Jester skill should I level first?
Level Joker Ace first, then Hearthunt Red Card, then Frenzied Emotion. Joker Ace throws two cards at the lowest-HP enemies and grows to 5,047.5% ATK with all stars. Hearthunt Red Card recharges every 5 seconds, so it fires three times between casts of Joker Ace. Deal Cards comes last, and the support skill is not upgraded with badges.
Is Jester worth building?
Jester is worth it in a Warlock squad or as a finisher beside Marlena. The tier list gives him A. His damage comes from stars, so he pays back slowly, and Red Lady matches his full-build power. Build the front row first.
What does Jester do in a squad?
Jester is a ranged Warlock damage dealer who hits the enemies with the lowest HP. His auto attack and Joker Ace pick the weakest target, so he removes wounded heroes while the Tanks hold the line. He loses value if your squad does not wound the enemy quickly, so pair him with Tanks and a strong main damage dealer.
