Classic Family

Heroes become stronger when teamed up with unique heroes of the same family.

Classic Family Heroes need to be fully ascended to receive the Family Bonus.

Bonus for 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 Heroes:

• +1% / +3% / +5% / +7% attack.
• +1% / +3% / +5% / +7% defense.
• +1% / +3% / +5% / +7% healing.

Balance Updates

@EmpiresPuzzles

Our much-beloved Classic (Season I) Heroes will finally be forming a Family — and on top of that, they’re getting exclusive access to Superior Talents!

• Classic Family Bonus
  • When 2/3/4/5 fully ascended Classic Heroes are teamed up, they get +1%/+3%/+5%/+7% Attack, Defense, and Healing
• Superior Talents (activated when a Classic Hero’s final Talent Node is taken)

I have Thorne & the costume… Can i swap all the feeders to gaillard? No…fine… Burn in Hell.

[EarlVerdant]

He’s great - someone circa 2017

[Jack.O.Kent]

Best hero in the game

[TohOutar]

I have him costumed and 20 nodes
His sword is kinda weak but he is a very solid s1 hero
I like his costume
He deals a very good damage
But i wont LB him
I hope his 2nd costume will be an upgrade

[NoRecesso]

I’m hoping that his second costume comes with an Ice EDD. It would be awesome

[2puttshaqur]

Nordri stinks… But he’s good enough that i don’t want to use feeders on 5* Arthur or frida…

[NoRecesso]

I love Nordri but it’s tough keeping him alive against good defenses and titans

[Noble_Weasel]

If anyone is wondering about his top-end potential, here you go:

This is all attack, LB, with costume bonus. Yes, I did this on purpose, and I use him all the time in my blue stack. No, he’s not a meta hero, but I still like him.

[CL_Fire]

@NoRecesso

I’m hoping that his second costume comes with an Ice EDD

Doubt it, blue already have two EDD in “premium 5*” heroes - Frida and King Arthur.
Yes, Marjana and Leonidas got EDD, but I don’t remember any alternatives from 5*s in this color before their costumes release.

[NoRecesso]

That’s why I would love Thorne with an Ice EDD just like Marjana and Leo have fire and holy

New costume Domitia will also have dark EDD. So I think it’s time to give the Ice for a secondary S1 hero and Thorne would be a great choice since his special skills have ice related names

But it’s more wishful thinking than reality

[ProfessorPenguin]

An interesting find while raiding

[Noble_Weasel]

And this is without the costume bonus. You got me kinda thinking about it now…

EDIT: If I did the math right, his stats with the costume bonus would be 929 / 1123 / 1989. 929 attack at 490% should be a decent wallop. And +30% if it’s in the first 6 turns, with his aether power.

Gotta see how common these aethers are gonna be. Also, dude should have a second costume coming…

[Andrewbook]

@Noble_Weasel

490% should be a decent wallop

He might finish someone with his icecold finisher! I’m not ready to drop 11 aethers on it yet though.

[Noble_Weasel]

Agree. Not until we see how common they might be. But sadly, he is still one of my better hitters in blue. I do hope to get his second costume, and then we will see.

[Andrewbook]

I recently got ccMagni and the pair land quite a punch. The speed is enough different though that sometimes they don’t line up. ccMagni is probably going to be my first five star 2LB, but I have already used six of my alpha aethers on 4 stars (I have gotten one more), so it won’t be soon.

[Noble_Weasel]

@Andrewbook

I recently got ccMagni and the pair land quite a punch. The speed is enough different though that sometimes they don’t line up.

I use Krampus (attack up), C. Kiril (defense down), and Thorne so the speeds work better, but I have to think C. Kiril + ccMagni + Thorne would have to be an insta-kill for almost any hero and a decent whack to those nearby.

[Andrewbook]

@Noble_Weasel

I have to think C. Kiril + ccMagni + Thorne would have to be an insta-kill for almost any hero and a decent whack to those nearby.

If only I could land CKiril I would be happy to research this for you!

[Noble_Weasel]

Best of luck getting him. Dude is a workhorse on my roster.
