Richtoff the Bold is a Legendary Spirit-affinity Attack champion of the Bannerlords, long overlooked by players until a September 2020 buff gave him genuine relevance. His thesis is Poison-stacked critical damage, turning stacked debuffs into a growing damage multiplier.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Poison-Scaling Damage: His A3, Cursehold, increases Critical Damage by 20% for each Poison debuff on the target, stacking up to 100%, which pairs naturally with his A2, Bloodletting, a triple hit that applies a 5% Poison to the whole enemy team for 2 turns — letting him ramp up his own damage output turn over turn.
Max HP Damage & Shield Breaking: His A1, Ruination, is an AoE that cuts enemy Max HP by 30% of the damage dealt, giving him rare positive-affinity value against Borgoth the Scarab King by breaking his shield, alongside strong general Dragon and Faction Wars performance.
Key Weaknesses
No Control or Utility: His kit is entirely offensive, with no debuffs beyond Poison and no team support, so he contributes nothing to crowd control or survivability outside of raw damage output.
With a maxed Dragon rating and excellent Ice Golem and Iron Twins scores, Richtoff the Bold shines in Poison-based wave-clearing compositions, especially paired with a Poison Exploder for some of the fastest, hardest-hitting Doom Tower teams in the game.
