Corpulent Cadaver

Rare · Spirit · HP · Undead Hordes

Corpulent Cadaver is a Rare HP champion from the Undead Hordes faction, unremarkable on paper but capable of becoming one of the hardest-hitting champions in the game when built around the right synergies, most notably alongside Underpriest Brogni.

Core Strengths & Abilities

Shield-Scaling Damage: His A1, Crushing Mass, deals bonus damage equal to 30% of his current Shield value when attacking. Paired with exponential shield growth from champions like Brogni and buff-extension support such as Lanakis, this default attack can snowball into devastating hits, especially when repeated through Ally Attack champions.

Self-Shield and Extra Turn: His A2, Disgusting Display, places a Shield on himself worth 20% of his MAX HP for 3 turns on a 4-turn cooldown, and grants an Extra Turn — letting him immediately follow up with his shield-boosted basic attack.

Reliable Control: His A3, Baleful Tenacity, attacks a single enemy with an 80% chance (guaranteed once booked) to place Provoke for 1 turn, useful for controlling threats like the Magma Dragon or Head of Decay in progression.

Key Weaknesses

Mastery-Dependent Niche: Outside his shield-stacking Clan Boss and Hydra composition, which is genuinely difficult to build and execute correctly, he offers little else — his ratings elsewhere (Arena, Chimera, Iron Twins, Dragon) are low across the board.

Corpulent Cadaver is a specialist: built around Brogni-style shield synergy he becomes a top-tier Clan Boss and Hydra damage dealer, but otherwise sees only niche Faction Wars and progression use.
