Stats at Max Level (4)

  • Magic Damage: 4
  • Speed: 4
  • Armor: 2
  • Health: 10

Abilities

  1. Amplify – Boosts all reflected magic, thorns, and return-fire damage by +1, making counterattacks lethal.
  2. Scavenger – Gains +1 health whenever a unit dies, turning battles into an endurance war.
  3. Rust – Strips enemies of 2 armor, making them vulnerable to both magic and melee attacks.

Strategic Analysis

Lord Thanalor is a late-game dominator. His high mana cost makes him ideal for battles with higher caps, where his resilience and support abilities can truly shine. Placing him strategically can weaken enemy defenses, ensure your team outlasts opponents, and make counterattacks deadlier.

  • Best Positioning: Mid to backline for safety while maximizing Magic Damage.
  • Best Pairings:
    • Magic Reflect units (to abuse Amplify)
    • Tanky frontliners (so he can ramp up with Scavenger)
    • Melee attackers (to benefit from Rust)

Weaknesses

  • Slow Start: Needs enemy casualties to boost health.
  • Susceptible to Silence: If his Magic Damage is negated, he loses value.
  • Vulnerable to Speed-based Dodging: Needs supporting abilities like True Strike to consistently land hits.

Strengths

  • High Damage Output: Can shred through weakened teams.
  • Armor Removal: Strips down enemy defenses, making him an excellent team player.
  • Scaling Potential: Becomes an unbreakable force in longer fights.

Final Thoughts

Lord Thanalor is a true powerhouse in extended battles, capable of breaking down enemy defenses while growing stronger over time. While he requires the right setup to maximize his potential, in high-mana matches, he can single-handedly dictate the battlefield. If you love grinding down opponents with magic and endurance, this Legendary Earth Mage is a must-have!
