Review

Thanatos
Profile Update

Thanatos was the best DPS in the game for many years, and even today he is still one of the best units when it comes to dealing damage. He was one of the first to move out of turn to deal true area damage. His attack also breaks defenses, making him lethal to units that move many times in a round. He is the best counter to Frozen-type teams and is very easy to assemble, requiring no speed cosmos.

In terms of damage, Thanatos may not be as effective as before, as units have significantly increased their HP and the damage multiplier may fall short. However, with more passive area attacks, Thanatos can be activated more often. In short, he is a great unit, and even though he has been in the game for a few years, it is impossible not to recommend him.

Pros

  • Really easy to use.
  • Does tons of true damage.
  • Counter of almost all control units.
  • Easy to build.
  • Can be build as a tank, DPS or debuffer.

Cons

  • Damage can't be enought against a strong defense lineup.

Skill Descriptions

Skill 1

Divine Punishment

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Deals 120% P.DMG to an enemy and grants Thanatos 2 anger. [Anger] Each point of Anger grants Thanatos 1% ATK and 0.3% damage reduction. Thanatos starts with 30 Anger and may have a maximum of 100. He gains 5 Anger when he and allies are attacked.

Skill 2

Terrifying Fate

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Attacks an enemy 5 times, each time dealing 50% P.DMG and increasing Thanatos' anger by 10. If his anger is less than 40, then further increases his anger by 5. For each ally that dies before using this skill, anger is increased by 10.

Skill 3

Final Might

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

When Thanatos' anger is full, he consumes all anger and casts Final Might, dealing 60% true damage (along with 100% increased ATK from [Anger], and shattering all enemies. [Anger] Each point of Anger grants Thanatos 1% ATK and 0.3% damage reduction. Thanatos starts with 30 Anger and may have a maximum of 100. He gains 5 Anger when he and allies are attacked. [Shatter] Enemies with this debuff will lose their Cosmo effects for 1 action turn. Their P.DEF and C.DEF are reduced by 5% permanently (cannot be reversed). When casting [Final Might], if Thanatos is under control effects, the effects will be removed from him (with the exception of Devour, Exile and Fight to the Death).

Skill 4

Gaze of Death - Awakening

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Thanatos gains 10% Life Steal and Reflect DMG each. The first 2 main targets attacked by Thanatos will be gazed upon. If they remain alive after 4 action rounds, the first target will take P.DMG equal to 1000% of Thanatos' P.ATK, whereas the second target will take half the damage. If Thanatos has more than 60 Anger, the damage he deals will increase by 20%. Gaze of Death will not target the same unit twice, and the effect cannot be stacked. Each time targets who are gazed upon take action, Thanatos' Anger will increase by 6. Every time Final Might is cast, its damage multiplier will increase by 10% (can be stacked 3 times).
