Role, availability & values
It has 900 hit points. It moves at 5 speed. Attack profile: Hand attack deals 14 damage. Ranged attack deals 20 damage. Siege attack deals 14 damage.

Matchup & timing
Use Drake only within the Historical Battle Raid on the Caribbean rules: he combines a ranged hero profile with Treasure and Trading Post utility. Scout the island route, protect him from concentrated fire and follow the scenario objective before spending time on optional map control. His special availability does not add him to the regular British roster.
A ranged hero for the Caribbean scenario
Drake’s profile lists 900 hit points, 40% hand resistance, 5 speed and 24 Line of Sight. His ranged attack deals 20 damage at range 16 every three seconds; his hand attack deals 14 damage every 1.5 seconds, and his siege attack deals 14 damage every three seconds at range 6. The attack modes let him contribute from range and handle nearby objectives, but his survival still depends on support when an enemy army closes.
Treasure utility and recovery
Drake can claim Treasures, build Trading Posts and regenerate health. When reduced to zero hit points he collapses; once he has regenerated 100 hit points, a friendly unit or building nearby can revive him. Keep him with the force that can clear Treasure guardians and defend Trading Post construction, then withdraw while his health recovers instead of risking the hero for a small gain. His role belongs to the Historical Battle and should not be assumed to replace the standard British Explorer in every match.
