Commander's Tactical Evaluation

Reviewed by Don
¹ “Thorven is an Sx29 Cavalry stat-draining support and formation engine. His Skill 2 (Drumbeat Command, 100% chance) drains 70% Resistance from 2 enemy squads and transfers it to your Front-row tank (stackable up to 6 times / 420% Resistance until combat ends). After a normal attack, Skill 5 (Lightning Sequence, 100% chance) drains 70% Might from 2 enemy squads and transfers it to your Back-row carry (up to 6 layers / 420% Might)—and any enemy hit by both drains in the same round takes +100% damage. Skill 8 (Spiral Edge) grants -30% damage taken + Taunt to the Front row on prep skills, +50% skill damage + Targeted Attack to the Back row on additional attacks, and a 100% teamwide heal every 2 Cavalry combat skills.”

Deployment Summary: Thorven is a Support commander introduced in Sx29 (rated Highest Tier). Commands Cavalries in the Middle row (with secondary flexibility in the Front row), following an unlock priority of 8th - 6th - 7th.
