Thomas Andre is a Light Attribute Fighter hunter and can be classified as a pure DPS specialist.

Without relying on additional buffs, he focuses solely on raw damage output while maintaining exceptional survivability through defense scaling and a shield mechanism. Notably, his Team Fight Mode damage increase buff makes him an essential choice for Guild Boss Battles and the Power of Destruction.

Simplicity Perfected with Tank-Like Stability – Basic Information

• Thomas Andre’s skill rotation does not rely heavily on complex chaining, allowing players to use skills as they come off cooldown.
• His skill scaling is based on Defense, and most of his core skills generate shields, providing exceptional stability during battles.
• Using Q, E, Core Attacks, or QTE skills builds stacks of Overwhelming Power. Each stack increases Defense by 10% and Shield Generation by 2%, leading to significant stat enhancements.
• His ultimate skill is not based on gauge accumulation but instead becomes available upon reaching 5 stacks of Overwhelming Power.
• The default ultimate is a Transformation Skill. Upon transformation, it boosts both base damage and survivability. The ultimate skill then evolves into a secondary ultimate capable of delivering massive burst damage.

Stack Shields Post-Transformation and Unleash Explosive Damage with the Ultimate 'Black Hole Crash' – Simple Play Guide

• The basic playstyle for Thomas Andre involves stacking Overwhelming Power through skill usage to quickly activate his ultimate skill (transformation).
• After transformation, utilize the cooldown-reset skills Q, E, and Core Attacks to accumulate shields while dealing sustained damage.
• Within 10 seconds, before the shields dissipate, finish the rotation with the transformed ultimate skill, Black Hole Crash, to unleash massive burst damage.
• In short, the optimal sequence is R (Transformation Ultimate) → Q → Basic Attack → E → Basic Attack → R (Black Hole Crash).
• Considering the duration of buffs provided by other characters, it is not recommended to repeat multiple Q and E cycles within the same rotation.

Optimal Advancement for Thomas Andre – Efficient Upgrades at 1–2 Tier, More is Always Better!

• Tier 1 Advancement: Increases Overwhelming Power stacks when shields are applied. Skills like Q and E now grant 2 stacks at once, speeding up stack accumulation.
• Tier 2 Advancement: Boosts shield generation by 8% and increases Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage by 10% each, significantly enhancing Thomas’s overall power level.
• Tier 3 Advancement: Earns the Overgrowth stack, which accumulates whenever shields are formed. After transformation, using E triggers additional damage proportional to shield.
• Tier 5 Advancement: Amplifies the damage of the transformed ultimate skill, Black Hole Crash, by an additional 125%, delivering devastating burst damage.
• Thomas Andre’s advancements are designed to enhance his overall stats and performance rather than altering his rotation or playstyle. While none of the evolutions are strictly mandatory, each upgrade provides straightforward and significant power increases.

Burning Curse 4 + Obsidian 4 as the Standard – Artifact Setup

• Armor: Fixed as the Burning Curse 4-piece set.
• Accessories: Default to the Obsidian 4-piece set, though the Behemoth 4-piece set is also viable.
• Both Obsidian and Behemoth sets now offer up to a 60% increase in damage, making the previously lackluster Burning Curse 8-piece set less appealing.
• As Thomas Andre relies on Defense Scaling, the Beast set is not compatible with his build.

Teamfights as the Main Stage – Party Composition and Recommended Content

• Team Composition: The optimal setup follows a standard Light Attribute team, with Thomas Andre (DPS), Go Gunhee (Breaker), and Min Byung-Gu (Support).
• Go Gunhee: Provides buffs to party members depending on his advancement, making this setup viable even against enemies without a Break Gauge.
• Comparison with Cha Hae-In: While Thomas competes with Cha Hae-In for a party slot, his Teamfight Damage mode gives him a significant advantage in contents like Power of Destruction and Guild Boss Battles, where sustained damage output is key.
