Rufus

Rufus is a Generation 11 Legendary Marksman who layers explosive impacts, burning damage and troop-wide offensive support. Once a rebel against the old kingdom’s injustices, he became a mercenary commander whose principles drew warriors such as Gina to his side. A secret expedition left him stranded underground for years; on returning, he found his company thriving under her leadership.

Two fire effects with different intervals

Starfall Impact starts with area damage, then leaves burning ground for two seconds. At skill level 5, the initial hit deals 280% of Rufus’s Attack, and targets remaining in the area take 30% of Attack every half-second. Those are separate damage events rather than one guaranteed total against every enemy.

Splinter Blast hits its main target and damages nearby enemies with fragments. Its level-5 coefficients are 140% of Attack for the target and 70% for nearby enemies. The two values should not automatically be added together as guaranteed damage to the primary target.

Raging Fury increases Rufus’s Crit Rate, reaching 20% at level 5. That is a chance-related attribute, not a stated 20% increase to all final damage. The description does not supply a critical-damage multiplier.

Editorial recommendation: test how well Rufus’s damage reaches clustered opponents and how long they remain in the burning area. Then compare several fights, since critical hits can change a single result. Distinguishing the initial burst from later fire damage makes the comparison more useful.

Expedition: Marksman pressure and enemy Lethality

Armor Crush’s target vulnerability is increased damage taken, not a Defense-stat reduction despite the name. Its level-5 extra-damage coefficient remains unconfirmed here, so check that value in-game before relying on a precise damage comparison. The verified earlier levels are listed in the skill card.

Wrathful Quake keeps a fixed 20% activation chance across levels. Skill upgrades increase the enemy Lethality reduction, not the chance of triggering it. A two-turn effect is not automatically permanent, and no stacking or refresh rule is assumed.

Inferno Regiment boosts friendly Attack; Wrathful Quake lowers enemy Lethality. Those attributes belong to different sides of the battle and should not be collapsed into one net-damage percentage. Rufus’s Exploration fire effects do not become extra Expedition burn triggers.

Meteor Blaster

Ember of Conflict makes normal attacks burn their target for two seconds. At weapon skill level 5, the burn deals 30% of Rufus’s Attack each second. This one-second interval differs from Starfall Impact’s half-second burning-ground ticks. No rule for stacking burns from repeated shots is asserted.

Blazing Legion increases Rally Troops’ Attack by 15% at skill level 5. This Expedition rally benefit is separate from the normal-attack burn in hero battles. Meteor Blaster’s reference stat bonuses are listed below with the two weapon effects.

Acquisition and development

Hall of Heroes and Foundry Shop are listed routes, subject to current state progression and available rewards. Mythic General Hero Shards can develop Rufus after he has been summoned. Verify the offered hero before spending resources.

Recruitment takes 10 shards, followed by 1,065 across five promotion stages, for 1,075 from locked to five stars. His displayed Marksman Attack and Defense are 1,281.02% each. Hero and weapon numbers are reference values with development conditions not fully specified, rather than a new recruit’s immediate stats.
