Wulfgar Basic Information

Character Info
Wulfgar
Preferred Weapon Warhammer
Voice Actor Jamieson Price
After five years of imprisonment, Wulfgar learned there's more to life than the conflict of the elk tribe. With his colossal hammer and thirst for adventure, the Reghed barbarian will now venture headlong into danger and crush any foes who dare threaten his home.

Which Attributes to Priotize

Heavy damage is where Wulfgar shines his brightest. We recommend that you prioritize upgrading his Strength and Dexterity to maximize his damage output. If you plan on equipping him with a Warhammer that grants Elemental Damage, your third priority should be Intelligence.
