← Ulfrid: skills, upgrades and Might
**Ulfrid** is a UR warlock who plays as tank. Fully upgraded, he reaches 1,033,739 Might, rank 5 of 11 among the game's tanks. Unlocking him takes 10 shards (:item-shard-ulfrid: [[hero-shards|Ulfrid Shard]]), and the shards become available once the :building-warlock-statue: [[building-warlock-statue|Warlock Statue]] reaches level 20. Ulfrid does not appear in the hero list until server day 42.

Awakening and the Exclusive Weapon follow their own schedules, unrelated to when the hero appears. The awakening tab appears on day 113 of the season: it opens for the fifteen UR heroes one at a time, one every two weeks, with the last tab on day 197. The Exclusive Weapon becomes available on day 36 of the season.
## Why he matters
**Role:** A warlock tank who answers blow for blow, as :skill-ulfrid-3: Lunar Howl returns 162% of incoming damage for four seconds. No other hero has anything like it. His ultimate :skill-ulfrid-2: Throat Bite lands 1,806% and lowers damage for every allied hero, while the passive :skill-ulfrid-4: Wolf Bloodline holds another 24% reduction permanently, or 29% with the Exclusive Weapon.
**Worth investing:** Ulfrid ranks fifth of eleven tanks by maximum Might (1,033,739) and sits in tier S, standing in the best squad of the game alongside Arthur, Billy, Annie and Joker. He follows Arthur and Billy in the investment queue, and he appears in the hero list from server day 42.

## How to play
Ulfrid carries 1,033,739 Might, 53,493 more than Billy and 18,714 less than Arthur. Their damage reduction skills tell them apart: Throat Bite removes 20% from every allied hero for four seconds on a 7 second cooldown, and 27% with the Exclusive Weapon at ★50. Billy's Fate's Thread removes 36% of energy damage from the three highest-attack allies, and Arthur's Earthshattering 35% of physical damage from the allies in range. In exchange, Wolf Bloodline keeps another 24% on Ulfrid himself, and the full 29% with the Exclusive Weapon at ★30.
Ulfrid enters the hero list on server day 42, between Daskal on day 28 and Louis on day 63. The recruit guarantee never hands out his shards, but his Exclusive Weapon opens on season day 36, earlier than it does for most UR heroes.
Stars are the bottleneck for him. Lunar Howl reflects the full 162% only past the forty-fifth of them, the reduction on Throat Bite reaches 20% at the fiftieth, and the whole scale costs 975 shards. Stars also give him less than any other tier S tank: 631,052 HP against 710,554 for Shadow.
The squad table places Ulfrid in six line-ups out of twelve. The best squad of the game, with Arthur, Billy, Annie and Joker, scores 100 effectiveness at 131.1M survivability, and the tier S one with Arthur, Marlena, Daskal and Billy scores 98 at 147.2M. Three warlocks stand beside him in the best squad, Billy, Annie and Joker, and the four of them bring the squad +15% to its stats.
