Red Hulk is a Science Champion. Being a Science Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Mystic Champions, but is weak to Skill Champions.
Bio[]
General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross has done the unthinkable in his unending mission to hunt down and destroy the Incredible Hulk. Using a combination of radiations, Ross has turned himself into what he hated for so long: a walking weapon of mass destruction. Now, equipped with super strength, durability and the ability to absorb radiation and energy, Thunderbolt Ross struggles with his desire to end the Hulk without succumbing to his own monstrous impulses.
Mechanics[]
Red Hulk is an absolute beast of a Champion that excels against all Champions that are of the Mystic Class, use Energy Attacks, or inflict Poison/Incinerate. Build up your Heat Charges and SMASH any opponent that stands in your way with a barrage of Passive Physical Damage.

Abilities[]
Passive
- Whenever Red Hulk loses 10% of his Max Health, he gains 1 Heat Charge. For each Heat Charge he has, his attacks deal an additional 18% of the damage dealt as a burst of Physical Damage. Max Stacks: 10.
- Whenever Red Hulk is inflicted with a Poison or Incinerate Debuff, his altered state Removes it and has a 100% chance to convert it to a Heat Charge.
Dev Notes: While not technically Immune to these Debuffs, Red Hulk is going to be a top option for any node that you find yourself gaining a Poison or an Incinerate – like Hazard Shift, seen in Alliance War!
Blocking
- Blocking has a 60% chance to convert Energy Attacks into Heat Charges. All attacks from Mystic Champions are considered as Energy Attacks towards this ability.
Dev Notes: Before Human Torch entered The Contest, Red Hulk was the Science Champion used to take advantage of Energy Attacks and Mystic Champions – these will be his best matchups!

Strengths[]
- Secondary Damage
- For each Heat Charge he has, his attacks deal an additional 18% of the damage dealt as a burst of Physical Damage.

- While technically not Immune to the Debuffs, Red Hulk has a 100% chance to convert any Poison or Incinerate Debuff into a Heat Charge.
Weaknesses[]

Recommended Masteries[]
- Double Edge & Liquid Courage
- The Poison from Liquid Courage will help Red Hulk ramp up even faster regardless of the opponent in front of him!
- Recovery
- Red Hulk has a decent heal on his Special 2, take this even further with the Recovery Mastery.
Trivia[]
