VRA ATLAS · Reference
Laird — Deer Head. Inspect skills, talent effects and progression, then compare a starter march with the upgrades you intend to use.
Start with the listed troop and specialty tags, then read the skill triggers below. A gathering condition, commander-position condition or status requirement changes when an effect applies. Compare a complete march rather than ranking the hero by one factor.
Choose a different second commander in the planner, keep both upgrade states explicit and inspect the bonus sources. Atlas does not simulate full combat damage or prove that a pairing is best for every account.
Two reference variants are shown for each listed skill. Use the planner to inspect available level and star choices. An awakened skill replaces the corresponding original skill where supported; these effects are not all active together.

On a dark, moonless night, the Niflungs attacked Laird's village. The villagers tried their best to fend them off, but couldn't escape a tragic end. Laird is the only survivor in his clan. When the divine servants found him, he was laying among the dead, enduring the pain of the underworld fire by his lonesome. The fire disfigured him, and attempted to steal his consciousness. To save the young and fragile Laird, the divine servants rushed him to the shrine, and a long treatment began. With the divine servants' persevering efforts, the underworld fire in Laird's body was gradually quelled, and his innate divinity also granted him the ability to manipulate fire. Unfortunately, Laird remains disfigured. Thus, he wears a deer mask to hide his ghastly looks. After Laird was healed, he chose to remain at the shrine. He practices with the divine servants to save more people from their suffering. "The underworld fire may have destroyed Laird's face, but it will never destroy the nobility in his heart."
These heroes share at least one roster tag. Shared tags are a starting point for research, not proof of combat synergy.
