Blog post coming soon. What is below comes from our tier-list notes until the full write-up is published.
Strengths
- Nearly unstoppable if ignored — he gets stronger every minute, and an opponent who waits too long simply cannot deal with him.
- Boundless Fury and Boundless Siphon — the Siphon works out of combat despite what 343 said it would do.
- A mini-Eradication on the hero — the Warlord's Y ability does the job of a nuke without costing a wheel slot.
Weaknesses
- No nukes and no active heals — unlike most leaders he has neither, so a fight that goes badly stays bad.
- A real early-game window — he is weaker before the scaling kicks in, and that is when he has to be punished.

Cast frequency — how often players actually pick each power — needs the meta-stats powers query, which is the one tab with no Supabase rollup behind it. Left off deliberately so a leader page costs no D1 reads.
