Game of Thrones: Dragonfire
Thunderstrike
Physical pressure and Bleed setup
Thunderstrike starts with odd-round Physical attacks, then adds even-round attacks and Bleed at six Stars. Later enemy exposure and Stagger offer team value, but his kit remains more clearly offensive than protective.

Sources and uncertainty

They are reviewed community mechanics, not publisher confirmation of every effect. Tactical roles, placement and partner guidance are Wyrmwise inferences from those mechanics.
