Overall Hero Rating

How scoring works
3.61 / 10 Rank 98

Can hunt isolated threats, but limited crowd clearing and boss value restrict his usefulness.

Guild Raid 1.0 / 10

Historical Neurothrope and Dorn suggestions provide possible niches, but little current confirmation supports choosing him over established raid specialists.

Guild War 5.0 / 10

Teams featuring Deathleaper clear 63.8% of Meds Up attacks across equally weighted battlefields, providing the stronger supported role.

Horde 5.5 / 10

Charging self heals and threat control provide useful independence, but single target pressure limits how quickly Deathleaper can clear waves.

Popularity 2.94 / 10

Planner records show 2,590 players at Gold I or higher, 426 at Diamond I or higher and 5 at Adamantine II or higher. Five equally weighted milestones determine this investment-based Popularity score.
