Thuls

hero C-tier

Class ScoutRole Stealth / Poison burst assassin

Not unlocked by default — recruit him through an in-game quest.

In Act 1, go to the Water Mill "Whispers In the Shadow" node on the northern path and accept Thuls' quest to find a very strong venom.
Take the Aquarfall Marsh obelisk. Bring at least 800 gold (or Reginald) to get the boat materials, and take the boat south to the Spider Lair map node.
Clear the sub-dungeon to the mini-boss fight against Tulah.
Defeat Tulah and take the Queen's Venom — Thuls unlocks.

Passive · Nightstalker — gain 2 Stealth at combat start (Stealth empowers the next attack and can make him untargetable).

Two builds: turn-1 burst from Stealth (Ambush, Fan of Knives), or grind enemies down with heavy Poison stacks.

Best cards›

Starting deck›

Key perks›

Stealth-scaling perks for burst, or Poison perks for the DoT route — commit to one.

Popular builds community›

Poison — Envenom (lvl 3) piles on Poison; most bosses can't cleanse it, so it just ticks them down.
Stealth control — Smoke Bomb stealths the whole party → enemies can't use offensive abilities, nullifying boss turns.

Synergies community›

Poison pairs with Dark supporters (Malukah/Zek). The Stealth build trivializes hard fights next to a tank.

Co-op tip 2-player›

High burst but needs setup; pair with a tank to hold aggro off him. Unlocked via the spider-venom path.

Plays well with community›

Heiner — Heiner's wall lets Thuls safely open with Stealth burst then stack lethal Poison behind the front line. [6][1]
Ottis — Ottis converts Thuls's poison into Poison+Wet (Dilute/The Polluter) and dispels, turning steady poison into burst. [6]
