Thalia, the Thunder King makes an excellent tank, as he draws enemies to him, and reduces much of the damage he receives.

Additionally, Thalia can enable the Storm Rider ability: each activation gives a stacking 10% DPS boost which lasts until reset, and can be increased with Magnify, gear, and Talents; this effect has a lengthy cooldown, but Talents can reduce this time significantly. Note that while Thalia must be in formation to execute Storm Rider, the reward persists even when Thalia is on the bench or sent on a mission.

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

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

• Besides being a temporary main damage-dealer, a monster magnet and having Storm Rider, Thalia is one that you would want to consider to use as the formation's tank.

• Storm Rider deserves a special mention. Since it increases formation dps permanently without even needing him in the formation, it is recommended that you activate a Magnified Storm Rider (yes, Storm Rider can be Magnified) every time it is available. Even though boosting only a small value, it is cumulative throughout the run and stacking several charges of Storm Rider could make a difference.
  • Also keep in mind, that any time from a Warp will also reduce the cool down of Storm Rider by the same amount. You could use the ability, use a 4 or 8 hour warp and be ready to use Storm Rider again right away, depending on how much cool down reduction you already have.
  • However, it should be noted that Storm Rider bonuses do not carry over resets.
• Thalia's legendary amulet adds gold bonus to each Storm Rider usage. Unlike Storm Rider's DPS bonus, this gold bonus is not affected by Magnify. Although this increases gold bonus, it does not increase the "Gold Bonus From Crusaders" in Other Stats (which is what the Golden Age talent uses).
• In the majority of cases, the gold bonus from the legendary amulet will make Thalia's Storm Rider superior to all others. It would only lose value if you have or will cap your gold bonus, but by this point the increased damage that some other Storm Rider users can have will be negligible.

• Avoid placing Thalia in the frontline if you have other Tank Crusaders in that column, since it would diminish the potential of some of their Formation Abilities.
  • Or just don't buy/disable the Lightning Rod upgrade, and let the monsters attack him and the other tanks equally.
• Thalia's 5th Rune upgrades his Lightning Ore (Increases the DPS of all Crusaders by 15%.) upgrade and his Treaties Ability from his Legendary Orb (Increase the base DPS of Royal Crusaders by 100%)
