Swordmaster

Swordmaster is a Legendary Horde Tank hero with Sustained and Multi-target capabilities. He combines front-line durability with a scaling Final Attack mechanic that grows stronger the more damage he takes, making him uniquely dangerous at low HP and a reliable anchor for legendary-tier Horde teams.

Swordmaster has 2 Skins and 1 Bond. The Bond grants the current team Damage Reduction +10%. His exclusive gear is the Crimson Storm (gear score 112,800), which provides Hero Attack, Hero HP, and soldier stat bonuses.

Crimson Storm — Exclusive Skill: Crimson Battle Cry

At the start of combat, the Swordmaster gains Final Attack equal to 20% of the Attack, lasting permanently. In battle, when a single hero loses HP, reducing their carried soldiers, their Attack proportionally decreases. Final Attack is unaffected by this.
