Eddie Overview

Eddie is an Infantry hero built around shielding himself and punishing enemies who dare to hit back. His Rage Skill slams the target for heavy damage while wrapping Eddie in a shield, letting him soak up incoming hits right after his burst.

His passive kit is all about turning defense into offense: bonus DEF and HP for his Infantry Troop, a Counter-Attack damage boost that gets even stronger once his troop size drops below 30%, and an extra Counter-Attack bonus for running an all-Infantry lineup. During Sieges, his basic attacks can also chip away at enemy Rage, making him a nuisance to enemies who rely on their own Rage Skills.

His Awakening ties the kit together: whenever his shield breaks or runs out, nearby enemy troops get hit with a temporary HP reduction, punishing enemies for finally breaking through his defenses.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths
  • Strong direct damage combined with a self-shield for immediate survivability.
  • Counter-Attack damage scales up further the more his troop takes damage (below 30% troop size).
  • Extra Counter-Attack bonus when leading a pure Infantry lineup.
  • Useful Siege utility by chipping away at enemy Rage on normal attacks.
  • Awakening punishes enemies for breaking his shield with an AoE HP reduction.
Weaknesses
  • Much of his value depends on his shield actually being hit and broken.
  • Counter-Attack focus means he is less effective if the enemy avoids engaging his troop directly.
  • Best bonuses require a pure Infantry lineup, limiting squad flexibility.

Hero Story

Eddie, the Starving Butcher, is a prominent figure in the post-apocalyptic world. Despite the food shortages of this bleak world, he always manages to procure mysterious supplies, ranging from ingredients to meat. His resourcefulness makes him popular and earns him a place among the survivors. Even when he is inexplicably driven out by the leader of the first shelter, another shelter eagerly welcomes him.

However, as Eddie settles into the shelter, his hidden ambitions come to light. Little by little he takes control, replaces the shelter's leader, and manipulates the survivors. As residents mysteriously disappear, a chilling rumor spreads among them: the meat Eddie supplies might actually be human, or even Zombie, flesh.

This unsettling rumor casts Eddie in an increasingly repulsive light. Still, he remains popular and enjoys the best treatment wherever he goes. For some people, it doesn't matter where their food comes from, as long as they get fed.
