High Elves

Royal Huntsman earns a 3.7/5.0 rating because he is a 'specialist' rather than a 'generalist.' His score is heavily bolstered by his A3, which remains one of the few true 100% Ignore DEF skills in the game, making him an elite tool for Arena Offense and specific high-defense encounters. However, his rating is held back by his lack of utility in prolonged fights like Clan Boss or Hydra, where his single-target focus and squishiness become liabilities. Compared to S-Tier nukers like Georgid the Breaker, he lacks the extra 'turns' or 'ignore unkillable' mechanics that define the modern top-tier.
