Hordin Guide

Epic

Attack
Banner Lords

Hordin earns a 3.1/5.0 rating because he is a specialist who excels in a vacuum but struggles in complex, high-tier environments. His strength lies in his incredible self-buffing capabilities and the ability to chain extra turns, which makes him an elite Campaign farmer and a solid Arena cleanup tool. However, his score is held back by his complete lack of utility in endgame PvE content like Hydra or high-level Clan Boss, where his 'kill-to-reset' mechanic is irrelevant. Compared to other Attack Epics like Whisper or Fenax, he lacks the raw scaling or utility needed to push into the 'S-Tier.'
