Verdict: A fill-in option when you lack this troop class entirely — legendary heroes are the core of every march — if this one matches your kingdom generation, shards here are rarely wasted.

Upgrade Strategy
Thrud sits in B Tier — two generations back: a fill-in option when you lack this troop class entirely, not a long-term carry. Legendary heroes are the core of every march — but only when matched to your kingdom generation.
- Star priority: unlock at 10 shards, then push stars while each tier still costs under ~100 shards; slow down at 4★–5★ and keep this hero matched to your current-era roster.
- Skill order: level the damage skill first, then the survival skill — check the upgrade tables above and feed whichever skill scales hardest per level.
- Class fit: Cavalry punishes archer-heavy marches and wins burst trades — time engagements instead of tanking hits.
- Stop signal: Redirect shards to a Gen 6 or Gen 7 hero of the same class as soon as you can field them.
Fully starring any hero takes 1,065 shards (+10 to unlock). That is months of event income — spend it where the tier list says it compounds, not on older-generation carries.
