Several interesting recent defensive-ability heroes have made me wonder about their utility vs Treevil (especially in 3* Rush tourneys, of course), as well as generally…
Jolly (xmas):
- overheals to all
- small minion to all
- % based damage reduction to all (6 turns)
- +mana gen to all (6 turns)
Paiea (owl):
- ~flat damage reduction vs Specials to all(6 turns)
- +attack to all (6 turns)
- +mana gen to all (6 turns)
- family bonus: mana ailment instead becomes mana gen buff
Swan Maiden (opera):
- to self: heal-over time, dodge damaging Specials (3 turns)
- to all other allies: dodge attacks and Specials, chance to do Hippo/Ginger/etc type damage when allied Special fires, immunity to status effects (3 turns)
- passives: resist DD, heals when ailment removed/expires
Besides color, a big difference is that Jolly and Paiea are Very Slow, hence their effects’ longer durations, whereas Swan Maiden is Average (and possibly more handy outside Rush tourneys etc).
What do folks think of these more recent 3* defenders, both generally and as Rush Tree-counters (say, for instance, compared to standby Faiez, when green is allowed)?
