How Amadeus works

Amadeus is a 1-generation mythic Infantry built primarily as a frontline damage tank. The kit centers on area damage, burst damage, escort cleave, and multi-hit pressure.

Conquest skill 1

Amadeus casts enemies in the target area upward followed by three powerful slashes, each dealing Attack * 224% damage.

Conquest skill 2

Amadeus releases a burst of arcane energy with each sword slash, dealing Attack * 23% damage to frontal foes.

Conquest skill 3

Amadeus is a master at pressing his advantage, increasing Attack by 48% when Health is below 50%.

Amadeus in Conquest

The hero has successful evidence through stage 478, which supports later-generation specialist use.

The current composite ranking weighs stage ceiling, trustworthy lower-power performance, role utility, position versatility, raw stats, and generation ceiling. Amadeus is not ranked from raw win rate alone because heroes enter the dataset at different stages and are tested with different frequency.

The current pattern is useful for testing but still sensitive to lineup and account context.

Amadeus in Arena

Preliminary Arena projection

The Arena rating is preliminary. It combines Conquest evidence, raw stats, generation age, targeting value, and utility such as area damage, burst damage, escort cleave, and multi-hit pressure. A very small amount of direct Arena evidence exists, but it is not large enough to publish as a firm result.

In Arena, Amadeus should be judged by whether the formation can use area damage, burst damage, escort cleave, and multi-hit pressure before the hero is removed or controlled. Newer-generation raw stats matter more in direct PvP, but specialized older heroes can remain useful three or four generations later when their development and utility still justify the slot.

Best position for Amadeus

The strongest trusted position in the current dataset is Back right. This is an advanced anchor use: the Infantry is protecting the rear or changing normal targeting rather than following the default frontline tendency.

Trusted winning positions: Back right.

The starting target map still applies: front left and back left pressure enemy front left, while front right, back middle, and back right pressure enemy front right. Retargeting then follows the closest valid target.
