Game of Thrones: Dragonfire

Venator

Physical damage carry

Venator is a focused Physical damage option whose extra attacks and later Habits reward matching Physical support. He brings pressure more clearly than sustain, so the other two slots must cover what the formation lacks.

Sources and uncertainty

Skills, rarity, breed, affinities and Habit unlocks use Wyrmwise's reviewed catalogue records, including Dragonfire Lab 0.23.5. They are reviewed community mechanics, not publisher confirmation of every effect. Tactical roles, placement and partner guidance are Wyrmwise inferences from those mechanics.
