Description[ | ]
Wheeling forwards atop the storied Anvil of Doom, the legendary Runelord Thorek Ironbrow works amidst the roar of battle, hammering powerful magic into the ancient runes of the Dwarfs.

Talent Tree[ | ]
Strategy[ | ]
An armour-piercing Runelord with a map wide melee attack boost and shorter cooldowns on his Runes. On the Anvil of Doom, he becomes a tanky combatant that is an anchor piece for the Dawi that can also go toe to toe with enemy Lords and heroes. His unique hammer weapon allows him to call down lightning, affording him a degree of crowd clearing/pinpoint damage on a large target. Overall, a very useful Lord that is the best choice if you want to make use of Runes.
