šŸ“Æ Baldur ā€“ Season 3 Hero ā€“ 5* Fire/Red: Thoughts, Discussion & Summon Results with Feedback

1,326 is low, compared to a lot of other heroes. Also doesnā€™t account for troop boost to health, or emblems, etc.

At first I was wow a featured 5*!! He must be awesomeā€¦ then he started talking to meā€¦

Baldur: Hi dude, I am a really great heroe. You know Tyr? We are buddies, always hang out together. I have this cool protection against direct Mana reductionā€¦
Me: Why would Tyr hang out with you?? Mana reductionā€¦? Which heroes does that?
Baldur: Well we play this game with him - last man standing, really fun! Oh many heroes has itā€¦ like this Leonidas guyā€¦
Me: Nobody uses Leonidas, he is only better than Justiceā€¦ any green 5*s? You know if I decide to use you on offense I am using you against greensā€¦
Baldur: Sure, there is thisā€¦ umā€¦ not really noā€¦ but once I get my skill going, I am unstoppable!
Me: Mhm 110% dmgā€¦ do you have any good synergies on defense?
Baldur: Of course! You know I can be used as a flank to blue tanks for a color protection! I do great with Aegir and this Rafael guy who is coming next month. Our thinking is, since we are so sturdy, we just stall the time till it ends and woho, Victory!
Me: :man_facepalming: look I think I can use you with one chick on offenseā€¦
Baldur: oh I love ladies, we invite Margaret and Inari Once we do defense with Aegir and Tyr.
Me:ā€¦ Elena gives Riposte to side heroes and since you are able to increase your max HP, could make a nice synergy.
Baldur: Sure just give me thous 6 rings, oh and Elena is still at 3/70. So 12 rings in total. It wonā€™t take long to collect a new setā€¦
Me: locking and putting him on a bench

Yes, his attack is only worrisome in a long battle. But isnā€™t that exactly what he is designed to produce? Iā€™m wondering how a Heimdall tank with Baldur at the flank would perform. He might have boosted health most of the match, in which case his attack could be problematic, especially if youā€™re hoping to ignore him and kill him last.

she probably will be ā€œrebalancedā€, but only after SG makes enough money off people trying to get her :wink:

a 1000 HP boost, not even heal, at average mana speed is totally OP. Heimdal has 500 at very slow speed. I know, I know, he gives it to all, but really if you cant take him out, it doesnt really matter.

0.3 % ??? If i draw next month the chance get Baldur r higher? 1.3%

I just got him from 30-pull, but Iā€™m not really sure what to think about him. Heā€™s my first S3 legendary too. I guess the best I can say about him so far, is, he came out with 2 Clarissas :wink:

Edit: Added screenshot.

Thanks, @amrath and @Muchacho

Awesome pulls @Argon!

Congrats on the pull!

Pulled him, Iā€™m sure he will like the bench until his purpose comes out or they buff him.

Yea, I have to agree he is barely usable. I donā€™t know how anyone sees him as OP. Heā€™s only OP if you focus on him and no one else. His special does not do much damage, mostly helps himself and doesnā€™t do anything until his health is actually boosted. I mean when he is boosted I think he is about average, but until then heā€™s prettyā€¦lame really.

I feel like your math is off or you mis-typed something hereā€¦

I was lucky with my coin pulls and got both Baldur and Tyr. Not sure what to do now :joy:

Said a prayer and did a 30 pull this morningā€¦
got Baldur, Sartana, and Fenrir! Best pull ever!

So now Iā€™m trying to figure out how to use Baldur. Iā€™m wondering he might be a nice new tank with his specials. Any thoughts on good flanks?

Good attack stat for titans, once boosted health is in there will be a steady stream of damage from Baldur but only if health is above 100% so as you lose the battle the effectiveness decreases. Maybe better for map/event scenarios with various waves to allow HP to build up.

Enough Rings for 1 Red 5*:
Mitsuko or Baldur (also have Azlar and Santa at 3-70 but they are not in contention for rings now).

Mits is at 3-68 Baldur is newborn at 1-1.
She effs up Finley wings which is very, very helpful.

Baldur has the new hero sparkle that no one else has right now.

Emblems: Mitsuko may be able to have some, Baldur probably wonā€™t.

Does anyone from Beta have experience with Baldur AND love (or hate) the functionality? Really interested in strong opinions.

Again, a fire hero far behind i.e. the plenty useful purple legendariesā€¦ We really need stronger red heroes, it is weakest element in 5 star sectorā€¦ got him on second pull, sitting on 6 rings he will not getā€¦

So a hero with excellent tile damage that actually has survivability potential? It sounds a tad niche, but Iā€™m gameā€¦

Iā€™ve got a deep enough red bench already (BK, PiBs, 2x Kong, JF all maxed and a +19 Wilbur) so it doesnā€™t matter too much if I donā€™t use him constantly.

Soā€¦ Heā€™ll get pushed towards 3.70. Will see how I feel about him there before deciding between him and QoH (parked at 3.70 temporarily) who has sickening synergy with le Puss.

Mitsuko all the way she is great hero you wont regret rings on her
