Alcar is the ultimate infantry tank of Kingshot — a Gen 4 Legendary with the highest base Health of any documented hero (61604, with another +12487 from exclusive gear bringing his raw HP pool to 74091 before multipliers). His kit is built around a unique invulnerability-plus-heal-plus-team-buff combo. Glorious Mark enters an invulnerable state (immune to damage and control) while reducing damage taken for nearby squads by up to 70% for 2 seconds. Second Wind triggers during that window, healing him for up to 42% of his Attack every second for 5 seconds — meaning he doesn't just survive the invulnerability window, he comes out stronger. His exclusive gear Praetorian Guard unlocks Flagbearer, which adds +42% Attack to all friendly squads during Glorious Mark — turning his defensive cooldown into a simultaneous offensive power spike for his team. His Expedition tree (Rescuing Hands, Praetorian Will, Carpe Diem) heavily favors Infantry compositions: Praetorian Will alone grants up to +100% damage to Infantry while only giving Cavalry and Archer units +10%. This makes him the defining hero of any all-Infantry rally comp. His exclusive gear Praetorian Guard adds +12487 Health (new record), +92.50% Lethality, +92.50% Health, plus +638 Attack and +832 Defense. Tier: S-tier Garrison, A-tier Bear Hunt, B-tier Rally. heroes.js marks him premium despite 6 F2P access methods — community consensus is that shard accumulation is too slow for F2P. Lore: a Flagbearer of the Praetorian Guard whose brutal campaign broke his faith in causes bigger than himself. His current creed — 'I've long given up on changing the world. Now, I only strive to stay true to myself' — puts him in a distinct philosophical lane from the other Legendaries: neither outlaw like Amadeus, nor idealist like Jabel, nor defiant like Helga. He just fights because he knows how.

Garrison — S. Premium garrison infantry defender. Highest HP of all documented heroes plus Glorious Mark invulnerability window plus Second Wind self-regen makes him the most durable garrison anchor possible.

Alcar was a Flagbearer of the Praetorian Guard — an elite rank signifying absolute strength and unwavering loyalty. He endured a brutal campaign that cost many of his comrades their lives, leaving him scarred both physically and spiritually. Where once he carried the banner for glory, he has since abandoned the pursuit. His creed now: 'I've long given up on changing the world. Now, I only strive to stay true to myself.' Where Amadeus fights for principle, where Jabel fights for faith, Alcar fights because fighting is what he knows — and no longer expects victory to mean anything beyond survival.
