- "Up the steps after him leaped a Dwarf with a red axe. It was Dáin Ironfoot, Náin's son. Right before the doors he caught Azog, and there he slew him, and hewed off his head. That was held a great feat, for Dáin was then only a stripling in the reckoning of the Dwarves."
- —Appendix A, Annals of the Kings and Rulers: "Durin's Folk"

Abilities
Level 1: Rising Rage - Dain's rage increases with every attack against an enemy unit or hero. After five attacks, he deals damage in an area and gains +30% armor. After 10 attacks, his strikes throw enemies to the ground and he can't be knocked back. Rage fades after 20 seconds if Dain stops attacking. (Passive ability)
Level 3: Rupturing Strike - Dain attacks a target spot with such strength that he cracks open the ground around him, knocking all nearby enemies off their feet. This leaves behind an area of ruptured territory, slowing enemies by 30%. Slow is doubled at full rage.
Level 6: Mount/Dismount - While Dain is at full rage he can mount his boar for 30 seconds. The boar is not as fast as other steed but deals more trample damage. If Dain trample on ruptured territory he doesn't slow down.
Level 10: Army of the Iron Hills - Dain temporarily summons several battalions of Ironbreakers depending on his rage. On his boar, he summons Ram Riders instead. By default, Dain summons 2 battalions of reinforcements, at full rage, he summons 6 battalions.
Ring Mechanics

Level 7: Scorched Earth - In his blind hatred of enemy, Dain bombards an area without any regard for friendly fire. Deals high damage to allies and enemies. The bombardment sets the earth on fire.
Level 10: Vendetta - Driven by the One Ring, Dain becomes completely blind with anger. He focuses all his hatred on a single enemy and takes all precautions to destroy him. Marks an enemy.

If the enemy is killed, all enemies nearby cower in fear and Dain and allied heroes are fully healed.
