If you kill him on the battlefield, he can revive himself with his ultimate skill. The tank releases a devastating explosion. Terminus is the first champ in Paladins to use a melee weapon. The tank swings a powerful battle axe that you do not want to get too close to.

Terminus Skills & Legendary Cards – Necromantic energy makes the tank immortal
Terminus has 4,900 health points and is thus one of the robust tanks that can take a lot of damage. With his massacre axe, Terminus also deals significant area damage, so you should keep your distance.
Terminus is a static champ and has no mobility traits.
These are Terminus’ abilities:
- Massacre Axe: Swing your axe every 1.1 seconds in a large arc. Enemies hit receive 700 damage. (Area damage)
- Wretched Detonation: Fire a projectile that deals 250 damage. Fire an extra projectile for each Wretched charge you have. (Direct damage)
- Crumbling Fall: Jump into the air and slam your axe down to deal 500 damage to enemies in front of you and slow them by 60% for 2 seconds. (Area damage)
- Power Drain: Create a powerful stream that absorbs enemy projectiles. For every 1200 damage you absorb, you generate a Wretched charge. You can store up to 4 Wretched charges.
- Reanimation: If you die, you revive after 2.2 seconds in an explosion of necromantic energy that deals 4000 damage to enemies in range. (Area damage)
