Lord of House Velaryon, Corlys is part of a Valyrian bloodline as old as House Targaryen, though it has never sat the Iron Throne.
Known through the Seven Kingdoms as “the Sea Snake” for the voyages that made his name, Corlys commands the largest fleet in the known world, and has built his house into a seat of such wealth that even the lords of Casterly Rock are said to envy it.
Corlys can be unlocked by participating in Daily Login Events during Heirs of the Dragon. After your first reign, Corlys can be unlocked through the Alliance Market.
Gameplay Details
Corlys is a strategic commander who wins fights through setup and sustained pressure. He unsettles the enemy from the opening round by steadying his own army against Physical and Tactical damage as the fight develops. He does this by singling out one enemy Dragon for a slow, escalating squeeze that worsens the more that Dragon fights back.
He rewards armies built around his own Cunning and Relentless nature, growing more disruptive and more resilient. Bringing a Relentless Dragon lets him single out and suppress an enemy Tactical Damage dealer, while a Cunning Dragon lets him do the same against an enemy Physical Damage dealer.
He performs capably in any matchup, but he is at his sharpest against enemies who rely on attacking often, predictably, or who lean hard on Physical or Tactical damage.
When playing with Corlys
- Open with Cunning or Relentless allies in mind
- Either strengthens his Round 1 disruption, and having both gives him his strongest possible opening.
- Play for the long fight, not the early trade
- His defensive and timing support are built to hold the line while his mark on a single enemy compounds over time.
- Let his targeting do the work.
- He automatically prioritizes marking whichever enemy relies on repeated attacks, so no manual setup is needed to find his best target.
