Bradley

Bradley is a Generation 7 Legendary Marksman who combines area artillery with offensive troop support. A veteran of the fallen Solaris Empire, he now serves with Gina while searching for answers about a lost expedition and his missing memories. The mystery shapes his story; his battlefield role is easier to identify from his cannon, burning ground and distinct Attack and damage bonuses.

Shell impact and burning ground

Destructor is Bradley’s large area-damage attack, reaching 420% of his Attack at skill level 5. Incendiary Shell has two parts: an initial area hit and a burning crater. At level 5, the hit is 84% of Attack, followed by 25% of Attack every half-second against enemies in the crater over its two-second duration.

Those coefficients describe different damage events. The initial shell does not guarantee that every affected enemy remains in the burning area for its full duration. Treating the whole skill as one unavoidable burst would overstate what the description promises.

Audacious increases Bradley’s Attack, reaching 26% at level 5. It should not be described as a bonus that only switches on near defeat.

Editorial recommendation: in Arena or Exploration, compare how many enemies the shells actually reach and whether Bradley survives to fire. A high area-damage coefficient loses practical value when few targets are covered or the hero falls before his skill is used.

Expedition: broad support with target restrictions

Bradley is a Marksman, but all three Expedition skills benefit more than just Marksmen. Power Shot’s class names refer to the enemy targets: it does not mean only friendly Lancers and Infantry receive a bonus. No additional Power Shot bonus against enemy Marksmen is listed.

Veteran’s Might changes Attack, while the other two skills modify damage dealt. Tactical Assistance also has a timed window. Adding the three displayed percentages into a single permanent damage increase would ignore both the different attributes and the target or timing conditions.

Thunder Cannon

Onslaught adds a team-support effect to Destructor. At weapon skill level 5, using Destructor increases friendly heroes’ and escorts’ Attack Speed by 14% for five seconds. This is Attack Speed, not a 14% Attack-stat increase, and the buff is tied to the named skill rather than every normal shot.

Siege Insight raises Defender Troops’ Attack by 15% at skill level 5. The siege-themed name can be misleading if read without its condition: the listed Expedition benefit is for defenders. The weapon’s reference stats are shown separately below the regular skills.

Acquisition and development

Lucky Wheel is Bradley’s listed acquisition route. Check the hero currently featured in your state before using resources. Recruitment requires 10 shards, and the five promotion stages require another 1,065, giving a locked-to-five-star total of 1,075.

His displayed Marksman Attack and Defense are 650.52% each. The hero and weapon numbers are reference values. For an upgrade decision, compare your attainable skill levels and actual shell coverage, rather than assuming those reference figures describe a newly recruited Bradley.
