Overall Hero Rating

How scoring works
5.76 / 10 Rank 41

Useful ranged firepower and disruption, though fragile defences and limited repeated clearing require protection.

Guild Raid 5.0 / 10

Provides useful Winged Prime damage and ranged-team support, with lineup competition and narrower main-boss applications limiting his overall raid position.

Guild War 6.5 / 10

Defenses featuring Thaddeus hold in 34.1% of Meds Up battles across equally weighted battlefields, providing the stronger supported role.

Horde 5.0 / 10

Long range suppression and damage support help protected firing teams, but fragility and limited repeatable multi-kills reduce broader Horde value.

Popularity 5.53 / 10

Planner records show 6,623 players at Gold I or higher, 1,063 at Diamond I or higher and 2 at Adamantine II or higher. Five equally weighted milestones determine this investment-based Popularity score.

Abilities

active ability

Basilisk Barrage

If Thaddeus Noble has not moved, unleashes a barrage of 5 shells on any target on the battlefield, each dealing 2x 3916-4176 Blast Damage. 3 randomly hit the target hex or surrounding hexes and the remaining 2 hit the hexes surrounding those. For each round that has ended, 1 more of the shells hits the target hex, starting with the shells hitting the outer hexes. The Suppressive Fire trait applies also to this ability. This ability's Damage ignores all of the attacker bonuses and modifiers (including elevation), and cannot Crit.

passive ability
