Identity on the wiki

Thorns is filed as a 6-star Lord Guard. Faction label: Iberia. Class bucket: Guard.

This is a recruitable operator. Skill multipliers, module bonuses, and trust thresholds change with patches, so they are not reprinted as if they were frozen.

How I would use the page

If I were slotting Thorns tomorrow, I would start from the branch (Lord Guard) and then open the tier list for our editorial rank. That rank is our judgment, not a Hypergryph score.

Module unlock, when it applies to 4-star and higher operators, is documented on the modules page: two missions, an elite and level gate, then Module Data Blocks, materials, and LMD. I am not assigning a personal priority order.

  • Rarity or status: 6
  • Branch: Lord Guard
  • Faction: Iberia
