Nate Dragon is the last of the original crusaders to be unlocked, with the highest base DPS of these characters. For early runs he is frequently used as a primary DPS, but his formation skills also make him a buffer for other characters.

When Nate reaches his sixth upgrade, he gains the ability to reset the world. When a reset is performed, any active buffs, XP, and gold are lost (though gear, trinkets, buffs collected, and idols are not affected). The Crusaders start to march again at level one, now with more idols gained for increased Gold and DPS bonuses.

Hapless
Available in Jeweled Chests or with a one-time token purchase from The Ruby Exchange, Nate can change his appearance.
(This is a cosmetic change only.)

Strategies[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

• As the last crusader in the roster, Nate should not be quickly judged as one who can always dish out the most damage throughout the levels. In fact, even with a conditional buff, Double Dragon, Nate has the worst damage-to-cost ratio in the whole roster, making him an unviable candidate for the main damage-dealer role in the long run. 
• Nate could be used as your main damage-dealer, though only for a maximum of only 40-50 levels. After that, the likely scenario is that the cheaper crusaders will start to deal more damage than him once you level them along. After all, Nate only has two self-DPS buff and a conditional buff.
  • You may place Natalie in your formation for the first few levels after getting Nate and the Double Dragon buff to boost his DPS.
  • Use Nate to buff Natalie's DPS if you're using the latter as your main damage-dealer.
• Nate, however, can be relied on as a buffer since he has two all-DPS buffs. His placement in your formation should be top priority after you have placed your main damage-dealer, DPS buffers and gold bonus buffers.
