Description
Vulcanus is a Generation 13 Legendary Marksman who combines heavy crossbow attacks, Bleed and enemy troop weakening. The harsh ruler of the underground city of Thaleira is also a weapons specialist. His interest in the nearby Forbidden Zone brought him into contact with Rufus, whose lost memories might hold answers about its ruins. Their cooperation against Phaethon gave that initially practical relationship a stronger bond.
Direct hits, control and lingering damage
Siege Bolts fires three heavy bolts and applies Bleed. Its listed direct-damage coefficient reaches 280% of Vulcanus’s Attack at level 5. The ordinary Bleed effect separately deals 10% of Attack every half-second for three seconds.
Chainlinked targets an enemy hero, deals damage reaching 140% of Attack at level 5 and stuns the target for two seconds.
Fire of Hope improves his Escorts rather than Vulcanus himself or every allied hero. At level 5, their Attack and Defense each rise by 30%. These are the accompanying units in hero battles, separate from Expedition troop bonuses.
Editorial recommendation: compare Vulcanus’s immediate damage with the damage that arrives during the following Bleed window. Also watch whether Chainlinked interrupts a threatening enemy hero. A target that survives the initial hit can still be under pressure from Bleed.
Troop attacks create openings
| Expedition skill | Level-5 effects |
|---|---|
| Raging Storm | All enemy troops lose 20% Attack |
| Breaker Steel | A five-attack trigger gives all friendly troops access to 100% extra damage and makes the target take 15% more damage on its next received attack |
| True Strike | Enemy Infantry and Lancer Defense reduced by 60%; friendly Marksman Attack increased by 60% |
Breaker Steel couples an extra-damage attack with a vulnerability for the target’s next received attack. It is not a permanent 15% vulnerability.
True Strike’s target groups are important: the Defense penalty applies to opposing Infantry and Lancers, while the Attack increase belongs to your Marksmen. The Marksman Attack increase is listed for one turn.
Doom Sigil
Laceration broadens Bleed application to Vulcanus’s damage and strengthens the Bleed effect. At weapon skill level 5, it deals 20% of Attack every half-second for three seconds. That strengthened effect is not presented as a separate extra 20% on top of the ordinary 10% tick.
Born King increases Rally Troops’ Attack by 15% at skill level 5. This is the weapon’s Expedition rally effect, separate from Exploration Bleed and Escort improvements.
