11 The Thrall is the cheap body at the bottom of the Legion of Truth army, a Tier 1 light ranged infantry unit that comes out of the Legion Barracks three at a time. Fifty hexite buys the whole batch, which works out at 16.67 hexite a body, and each body costs one supply and carries 70 health behind Light armour. Seven damage on a 1.5 second cycle at range 7 is unremarkable on its own. What makes the unit matter is that it shoots both ground and air, that it arrives in threes, and that the faction has two separate mechanics that consume Thralls on purpose.

33 Figures below describe the September 2026 Early Access build, the one carrying the identifier ZS.c36778, and they move with the weekly patch cadence. Roughly half the versus roster had a stat touched in the fortnight before that build was captured, so treat every number here as dated rather than permanent.

1111 The absence of an armour bonus is worth stating plainly, because most of the Legion roster has one. A Thrall deals its flat 7 against Light, Medium, Heavy, Building, Hero and None alike, so the unit never spikes and never falls off.

2020 Battle Frenzy is published exactly as written above and the record does not say which stat the +15 applies to, only that it stacks per attack up to 75%. Read alongside the Steelsworn upgrade Alloy Armor, which grants an attack speed ramp in the same shape, attack speed is the likely reading, but the catalogue does not state it and this page will not assert it.

2222 Conversion Costs
2323  
2424 Reanimate is the Legion conversion mechanic, paid out of the same top bar power pool as the Grell Infuse and the Xol Replicate. While the unit lives it attacks and moves 30% faster. When it dies it gets back up, 30% slower than the original, and keeps fighting.
2525  
2626 The Thrall is eligible for all three conversions at an identical 0.8335 power each, the cheapest price anywhere in the Legion roster. A single Reanimate on a Thrall is close to free, which is the point: it is the one unit where the second life costs less than the first body did.

2828 Role
2929  
3030 Thralls are a tempo unit rather than a fight winning one. Three arrive per order for one build time, they cover both domains, and at 525 move speed they keep up with a Legion push. With a supply cost of one each they also convert cleanly into army count, which matters for a faction whose expensive units sit at 15 supply apiece.
3131  
3232 The second half of the unit's job is to die usefully. Every supply of Thralls sacrificed inside a Ritual Site, up to a ceiling of 30 supply, adds +50 health and +5 attack damage to the Emperor Projection it summons, so one Thrall is worth exactly +50 health and +5 damage to the Emperor. Sacrificing a Thrall on the Citadel also cuts that structure's research time, and Galavax can spend one with Sacrificial Spear to leave a Sacrificial Site healing nearby biological units.
3333  
3434 Riding is the third use. A Thrall mounted on a Mammoth grants it +125 movement speed, which is the fastest the beast gets.

3636 Faction Context
3737  
3838 The Thrall is one of three units carrying the data tag that marks Legion thrall bodies, the other two being the Steelsworn at 2 supply and the Dark Disciple at 4. The Storm Bringer does not carry it. That tag is what separates a body that can be fed to the Emperor from one that cannot, and it is the mechanical spine of the faction identity described on the faction page: powerful customizable tanks paired with swarms of cheap troops.

4040 Tier and Armour Interactions
4141  
4242 Light armour with an armour value of 0 is the most exposed combination in the game. Armor is also a number held separately from the type. It subtracts flat damage from every hit with a floor of 1 damage, so it blunts fast weak attacks far more than single heavy ones. A Thrall has none of that protection, so every point of incoming damage lands. It is also the armour type most bonuses key off: anything carrying a bonus against Light doubles or better into a Thrall ball.

5959 The Battle Frenzy upgrade text does not name the stat it modifies. That gap is in the source, not in this page.
6060  
6161 Per unit numbers are drawn from a community maintained entity catalogue that the studio links from each of its own faction pages. It is the only place the full stat block is published, and it is not a studio document, so the figures are best read as careful community documentation of a build rather than as an official specification. Dated balance notes, by contrast, come straight from the studio patch posts.
