Drake is a Season 4 Shooter. Use Drake when you defend or garrison: the War skill Break Out gives all troops +16% Lethality at Lv.5.
Exclusive skills: Arrest Pulse Upgrade, War Break Out.
Where this comes from: Drake’s hero and Exclusive Equipment screens, captured by MORÖX on S216 (Sep–Oct 2026).
Also from the game: all 6 hero skills (3 Arrest, 3 War) with Lv.1 to Lv.5 values, from Drake’s Skills screens (Oct 2026). Jump to skills.
Not yet measured: star upgrades.
What would change this: a game update to Hellbane or to Drake’s skills.
When to use Drake
Drake’s War skill switches on only when you defend or garrison. In any other battle it does nothing, so a trio built for a different battle leaves Drake idle. Read the pick-by-battle table to see who else boosts defending battles.
As a joiner, Drake brings only the 1st War skill: Charged Barrage (When the round number is a multiple of 3, our Shooters launch an extra tactical attack at the end of the round, dealing 110% tactical DMG to the target. Shooters only, every 3rd round). That counts in Cage. MIRÖX’s call: join a rally with Drake, A-tier.
Source: in-game skill screen. Read the Cage guide.
Exclusive Equipment: Hellbane
Shooter HP and Lethality +97% at Lv.10.
Season 4 equipment adds +9.7% troop HP and Lethality per level, up to +97% at Lv.10 (499,500 power). Maxing it takes 550 parts. In most heroes the rate is set by season, not by the hero: see the Season Rule. Known exceptions: Tyronn and Phoenix.
Odd levels raise the Arrest skill, even levels the War skill

Hero skills
