Jacob Overview

Jacob is a Legendary Ranged hero built around fan-shaped AoE damage, counter-damage buffs and garrison pressure. His rage skill can hit up to 3 enemies and becomes especially valuable when several enemy troops are grouped in front of him.

His defensive tree and garrison-focused passives make him a solid ranged garrison option, while his awakening improves his main AoE damage profile. Recommended skill priority: 1 → 3 → 2 → 4.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths
  • Fan-shaped AoE rage skill hits up to 3 enemies.
  • Strong counter-damage buff after using his rage skill.
  • Useful ranged garrison bonuses through HP and garrison damage scaling.
  • Additional damage and enemy attack reduction from passive effects.
  • Awakening improves his main AoE damage pattern.
Weaknesses
  • Not a Core Hero and has lower long-term ceiling than newer premium ranged heroes.
  • Needs multiple enemies in range to get full value from his AoE profile.
  • Several defensive bonuses are most valuable in garrison situations.
  • Less attractive as a main investment for accounts already focused on Nova or Ethan.

Skills

Rage Skill

Bird of Prey

Deals damage to up to 3 enemies in a fan-shaped area in front of Jacob and increases his own counter-damage for 3 seconds. Damage taken by each enemy is reduced by 15% for each additional enemy target.

Rage: 1000Damage Factor: 12500Counter Damage: +23%Targets: Up to 3
R3ED Note: This is Jacob's core skill. It gives him his main AoE pressure and makes him better when enemies are grouped in front of his march or garrison.
Passive Skill

Champion of Earth

Increases Ranged Troop HP and increases damage dealt by garrison troops.

Ranged HP: +20%Garrison Troop Damage: +7.5%
R3ED Note: This passive is the main reason Jacob belongs in defensive ranged setups. It gives both durability and direct garrison damage value.
Passive Skill

Dance with the Eagle

Deals damage to nearby enemies every 8 seconds. While in garrison, reduces the Attack of the affected enemy troop for 2 seconds.

Damage Factor: 2000Enemy ATK: -17%Trigger: Every 8 seconds
R3ED Note: This adds steady pressure during longer fights and gives Jacob extra defensive utility when stationed in garrison.
Passive Skill

Son of the Wind

Increases all damage when remaining troop size is below 50%. The bonus becomes stronger when remaining troop size falls below 30%.

All Damage: +16%Low Troop Bonus: Up to +20%Condition: Below 50% / 30% troops
R3ED Note: Jacob becomes more dangerous as the fight progresses. This is useful in long defensive fights, but it also means the bonus appears only after taking losses.

Awakening

Eagle Strike

Eagle Strike improves Jacob's rage-skill profile. Before activation, it deals damage to up to 3 enemies in a fan-shaped area and increases Jacob's counter-damage for 3 seconds. Damage taken by each enemy is reduced by 15% for each additional enemy target.

Hero Story

Jacob's parents were foresters. After they were killed by poachers, young Jacob survived alone in the jungle for several days before villagers rescued and raised him.

He later lived close to wild animals and formed a special bond with an eagle that became both his companion and his eye. This experience made it difficult for Jacob to adapt to human society.

When the zombie outbreak began, Jacob's eagle discovered the undead early and warned him. Relying on the eagle's wide vision and sharp awareness, Jacob repeatedly led survivors away from zombie hordes and became a respected leader.

Jacob is proud and fierce like an eagle. His recklessness often causes trouble, but he strongly believes in the power of nature and that nature will always prevail.
