Charles: Infantry Hero Guide

from the reference library

In Expedition mode, Charles is the Generation 7 mythic infantry hero and continues the long-standing trend of Kingshot infantry units equipped with a defensive widget. His kit is initially disappointing to theorycrafters because his first two abilities are capped at just 20%, making them technically "sub-par" compared to the usual 25% benchmark. A critical flaw in his design is that his 20% damage reduction does not function as a true multiplier; instead, because the game's combat formula places defensive skills in the denominator, it effectively acts the same as a simple 20% health increase. That said, his joiner ability of opponent's lethality down is an unusual skill code, which means the more likely multiplicative relationship with other skills can help offset the 20% cap (think Fahd or Eric). Early testing between Charles and Triton has yielded conflicting results; while Charles appears to be an upgrade in 60/40 formations using Thrud and Saul, Triton still showed superior synergy in setups featuring Wee & Woo. Despite these weak abilities, his massive Generation 7 power leap (offering a 110% improvement to infantry stats) is often enough to offset his mechanical shortcomings.
