I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later. :slight_smile:

The utility of this hero is severely lacking in value. The either or when the enemy could have just one buff or your lineup could have just one ailment and end up doing very little at all just isn’t worth the EHTs to me.

Yeah, I completely agree.

I think a more interesting (and useful) mechanic would have been to make this hero essentially Bizarro Snow White.

  • Combine both parts of the special and have the damage start out at 400%.
  • Each buff stolen or ailment distributed lowers the damage dealt by something like 20%.
  • Cap the damage reduction, so you always do some damage (maybe a minimum of 140%, which would mean you stole/distributed at least 13 buffs/ailments).

As it is, this hero isn’t guaranteed to do much of anything.

Made it here before the poll again. I’ll be back.

looks terrible

either cleanse/dispel (only 1 status affect) or deals 400% max

most of the time he’ll dispel and do 200% which is terrible
shouldn’t be limited like this especially with the lift/steal part

1 Like

But you have the potential to do 400% damage to all at fast. Requires some tactical play

1 Like

From my understanding it wont be 400% damage but 200% twice which will do quite low damage.

Tactical hero, modern stats. Much better than wayne.

Im interested to see how this one works in action, because of the wording. The 1st part sounds useless, like… even if 1 hero has their alpha talent still on, just steals that one deff up or so and no damage to anyone. But the 2nd part sounds bettermm. An ailment will be taken from allies yes, but if they are given to toons/someone with buff resist, it will not be succesfully given, so that should make both parts activate. So clense + 200% damage for the 2nd part.

Would be interesting, if there was a fast speed yellow Anna-Belle lol. At least a fast speed dispeller… As it is there will always be some alpha power to dispel limiting the damage to 200%. And with all those passives and whatnot flying around there´s even a good chance that you catch some ailment or other and then he does nothing at all…
And if you wait out the alpha powers then you most certainly also triggered some special or other and you have ailments… Can´t see the fooling around you have to do for this one being worth it. Of course as always the stats alone make it interesting for the poor people. Since I am one of those, I´d consider it, but since I am not going to waste EHTs on this portal I won´t have to think about it. I go back to waiting for SG to make a mistake and accidentally putting a useful hero into a seasonal portal some time (That lack in quality control has to work in our favor some time lol)

Yeah, pairing with Anna-Belle and for War equalizer, this guy could be very good. For the rest, he’s meh

Would be nice if he stole growth and wither. Or eliminated wither from allies. Or stole minions and mega minions. Doesn’t take cartoons shield either

I pulled him and probably will not level him.
He has a few problems:

  1. There are just to many heroes that have undispellable buffs or status ailments.
    So what does this mean then? No removal includes no damage?
    Why not give him the ability do take them anyway safely and cannot be
    missed by dodge or dance effects?
    That would make him actually usable and desired.

  2. His passive should also effect Mega Minions “abilities” and reduce there attacks.

And his stats are kind of to low.

For me he is completely broken like Wulfstan.
Am I missing anything?

So fully leveled Baishu. I must say very disappointed. Doesn’t steal everything. His skill set doesn’t seem to help much at all. His stats are high which is the only help. The skill needs something a steal all no matter if it mega minions growth wither minions on my allies and so forth. That would make him better but as is he will probably sit. Fully leveled and limit broke twice. He will hopefully help in wars……. And……. That’s it!

You seriously LB2 heroes before reading the text on them? It does exactly what it says… And yes it´s garbage.

Well that is way more than I would expect, that is if you really just LB2 every hero you get…

Haha yeah I don’t have many yellows and have a ton of material so I said why not! Agree not the best idea but have seriously bad luck when it comes to holy/yellow hero’s. Maybe they will buff him……?!

His best use is equalizer war. He hit very hart after equalization. Otherwise he looks mediocre

Sorry to say waste of mats. He would need a few changes to be impact full.
Like with so many heroes, they will stay this way until you might get lucky on consume version that fixes him.
