August HOTM

How does he compare to Musashi?

He looks very sad…

Oh, wow, Dragon Lee? That makes so much more sense. “Drake” can mean that, but drake usually points to a male duck. Didn’t seem very heroic to name a hero after a duck.

Tell that to @Mr_Daniel_Duck! :joy::joy:

I’m sorry but a Bruce Lee inspired card should have a base attack of 1400 and then just don’t even bother with a special skill.

The man is the weapon!

Creative / balance team gone done screwed this one up. They’re stuck in their creative box :stuck_out_tongue: (or, couldn’t figure out how to balance it. Whatever. Swing and a miss as far as I’m concerned! )

I’m not a fan, I’m sorry to say. It breaks the willing suspension of disbelief for me… doesn’t fit the canon at all imho.

And Tekken beat them to it about 20 years ago…

Marhsall Law’s double flip kick always annoyed me.

Yer, my brother unlocked every character in about an hour just kick flipping all the way to Kazuya and then changing character.

Eddie Gordo from Tekken 3 onwards was an even worse button masher!

This Bruce Lee card seems ok rules wise…I just don’t see him as a fantasy character

Sorry but, is this true?
HOTM of Aug?

That’s what’s anticipated by the community. The usual HotM color cycle would be due for a yellow hero in August, and this one was what they tested in the last beta. It’s still possible SG could still do something unexpected though.

Bruce lee should be a water hero…

“Be water, my friend!”

A drake is a mythological creature. Essentially a dragon but without wings.
The Hydra is basically a drake with multiple heads.

Sure, sure, and in the context of a Welsh saga, that’s how it would be understood. But pick up any English dictionary, and the first definition will be “male duck”. It’s also a not too uncommon given name. So as a hero name, it simply doesn’t register—at least to this mind—as referencing dragons. That’s why the French translation was such an “ah ha” moment.

I tended to think of the draconic connections of the name Drake, due to the significance of dragons in Eastern mythology, and because the first thing that springs to my mind when thinking of Bruce Lee is the movie ‘Enter the Dragon’.

I think of Bruce Lee and I think of dragons, but I hear drake and I think that dude who always got beef on with someone and Rhi rhi doesn’t love him, or a male duck…

I reckon dragon lee is better than drake lee, but I think Bruce woulda been a better name…

Even if it meant no lee… just Bruce!

Drake made me think of dragons myself.

I’ve played muds/RPGs off and on since the BBS days from the early 90s. More than one game always had a fire drake or something similar as a monster.

Raiding this thread with a question, about the current HotM, but basically all of this canon:

The +5% for Attack and Defense of same element heros:
Is it compatible to the buffs of Boldtusk and Kiril (I know, the two are not compatible to each other)?
Or is this actually a very effective self debuff ???


Sorry i play in french version
I have green link bonus and kiril bonus and more gregorion aeron wu kong (all compatibles)

@Mariamne: Thank you very much for the answer!!
And love the pic showing all compatibles.
Many thanks!!!
