Spoiler Alert!
Character Bio: Dragons should never be underestimated, and those who do so usually don¹t live long enough to regret it. This sentimentis doubly true of Charos. Approaching him is dangerous, and one should think twice before attacking him. His great wings can buffet any attack and counter it, striking the unsuspecting assailant. Of course General Ullar knows the value of Dragons; that nothing is quite as terrifying as a huge armor plated flying monster. Charos, however, is not all brawn and no brains. He is as valiant as he is intelligent, and a king in his own right. (Hasbro)
_________________________________________________________________COUNTER STRIKE
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from an adjacent figure, all excess shields count as unblockable hits on the attacking figure.
FLYING
When counting spaces for Charos's movement, ignore elevation. Charos may fly over water without stopping. Charos may pass over figures without becoming engaged. Charos may fly over obstacles such as ruins. When Charos starts to fly, if he is engaged he will take any leaving engagement attacks.

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-
Strategy Notes:
- If your opponent doesn't like the Izumi Samurai, just wait till their faces drop when you bring out Charos. At 210 points, drafting him takes a chunk out of your army, but he fills the void well. His attack of 5 allows him to mow through squad figures and his defense of 5 with Counter Strike makes him just as deadly as the Samurai. However, with his ability to take 9 wounds before he falls, he is a force to be reckoned with on any board! Charos can be used in almost any situation; however, he is best used on the front lines. Don't be afraid to throw him out there, he can hold his own in any fight. Here's another tactic that can be used with Charos. Try to take out all your opponent's figures with range first. Don't use Charos to do this, use the other figures you have drafted. Charos is most deadly when he is facing non-ranged characters. (Hasbro FAQ)
Who else could I draft with Charos?
- 4th Massachusetts Line
Once Charos becomes engaged to any number of figures, they will be stuck adjacent to him for a bit. To support Charos, make sure you have plenty of ranged figures. The 4th Massachusetts Line is perfect for this task because of their Wait Then Fire ability. The longer Charos can stand engaged against an attacking army; the longer the 4th Massachusetts Line can add that extra attack die. Charos, being valiant, can also help the 4th Massachusetts Line's defense. (Hasbro FAQ)
- Kelda the Kyrie Warrior
Absolutely nothing will irritate your opponents more than when they get Charos up to 7 or 8 wounds and Kelda flies over and can completely heal him. They are almost unstoppable together as long as you can keep Kelda safe while Charos takes the bulk of the attack. This plan will probably only work once though. Your opponents will start to target Kelda as soon as they figure out what your plan is. (Hasbro FAQ)

- Melee Figures
Any figures with a range of 1 that must get adjacent to attack another figure is subject to his Counter Strike ability. At some point, your opponents will have to fight Charos while engaged. He will ultimately be their undoing. (Hasbro FAQ)
- Minions of Utgar
Charos eats Minions for breakfast. He can withstand enough of their deadly strike hits and will eventually land his killing blows either with Counter Strike, or with his base attack of 5. (Hasbro FAQ)
