In Hypixel Mega Walls, Dreadlord is a class with four named mechanics: Shadow Burst, Soul Eater, Soul Siphon, and Dark Matter. Together they provide a three-skull projectile, melee-hit sustain, kill-triggered effects, and iron-gathering utility. Hypixel’s 2019 update notes document changes to several triggers and values, but do not establish the class’s complete live balance in 2026.

Which Dreadlord does this refer to?

This article covers the Dreadlord class in Hypixel’s Mega Walls, not every Minecraft entity or item with that name. Hypixel SkyBlock also has a Dreadlord Sword and a Crypt Dreadlord dungeon mob; they are separate from the Mega Walls class. Hypixel’s Mega Walls update notes and the 2016 forum guide discuss the class.

What are Dreadlord’s four powers?

Shadow Burst: a three-skull projectile

Shadow Burst sends three wither skulls toward opponents. The community-maintained Hypixel Wiki entry for Dreadlord describes one skull traveling along the aim direction, with two spreading to either side. That pattern can make the attack useful against groups or obstacles, though the wiki is not an official balance record. Hypixel’s 2019 notes specifically say, “Skulls now have a hitbox.” Exact damage figures are not stated consistently enough in the sources to present as current.

Soul Eater: sustain from melee hits

Soul Eater restores hunger and health through melee combat. Hypixel’s 2019 update notes record a change from chance-based activation to a fixed trigger: every 7/6/5 melee hits across the listed tiers. The notes do not specify the amount restored, so the trigger should not be mistaken for a full account of the ability’s current values.

Soul Siphon: effects after a kill

Soul Siphon activates on a kill, granting a temporary damage increase and Regeneration I. Hypixel’s 2019 notes list damage-increase values of 55%/70%/85%. A 2016 guide also describes temporary strength and regeneration, but its older level structure and values should be treated as historical rather than combined with the later update figures.

Dark Matter: iron-gathering utility

Dark Matter assists with collecting iron. Hypixel’s 2019 notes record an iron ingot for every 3/2/1 iron ore blocks mined and an armor piece for every 30/25/20 blocks across the listed tiers. These are the triggers documented in that update, not a guarantee that the same thresholds remain live now.

How the powers work together

The abilities serve different moments in a match: Shadow Burst supplies ranged pressure, Soul Eater rewards sustained melee, Soul Siphon adds a post-kill benefit, and Dark Matter supports iron collection. This makes Dreadlord’s kit relevant both in combat and while gathering resources. The available sources do not establish a definitive current damage total, cooldown, class price, or complete level-by-level stat table.

Why older Dreadlord stat lists may disagree

The 2016 forum guide and the community wiki present values that do not consistently match each other or Hypixel’s later 2019 change notes. For triggers and thresholds, the 2019 notes provide a dated record of what changed; they should not be read as proof of the exact live balance in 2026. Avoid combining figures from different versions into one supposedly current stat table.
