šŸ° Bearnadette ā€“ 5* Fire / Red from Clash of Knights

The closest comparable SS I can think of is Marie-Therese and her zombies, except this isnā€™t caused by death and is not permanent.

Example (used in PvP attack)

  1. She changes defenders to Cursed Paintings. (Not sure what this does to stacks and elemental links)
  2. Each Cursed Painting has 70% attack and 70% def of original hero. The lower defense will make them easier to kill.
  3. In the next 5 turns, each Cursed Painting gains mana at VF speed.
  4. If the mana bar is full while in Cursed Painting form, defender will snipe one of the attackers for 250% damage, and have 60% chance of changing back to original hero.

Interesting interaction would be with mistra. Would mistra be able to deal maximum damage to all cursed paintings since they turned to v fast speed?

Interesting synergy. I guess it should work.
But if you were able to charge 2 slow and very slow heroes in two different colours you are probably winning the battle regardlessā€¦

Edit: nvm, I take it all back, faced her in a ā€˜normal speedā€™ raid and got crushed. The bar seems to charge quick for very slowā€¦

woof

I am calling it without testingā€¦

She probably makes you into painting from which you cannot escape if you have mindless attack applied afterā€¦

Not every hero is made for all modes. She will be devastating in very fast environments. In war where everything already is very fast of course I want to nullify every special my opponent has if they canā€™t resist this. I rather take a weak 250% single hit than a Nautica Heal or 400% AoE to all.

Iā€™m actually struggling to understand how everyone says sheā€™s underpowered, when sheā€™s Alfrike on steroids.

She is going to be a nightmare in Rush wars and tourneys because you donā€™t get to play the game ever again if she fires (unless you resist the debuff, of course).

It cannot remove dodge, and can be uneffective when it meets toonā€™s passive skill. I will stop level up her in 3/70

Dodge has always had the chance to dodge the dispel, nothing new here. And as for Toons, choose a different War target? There are lots of heroes I donā€™t use against Toon heavy teams.

I think itā€™s closer to AoE Mindless, because thatā€™s what it essentially is, except it lasts either 5 turns or when successfully released from paining upon Special Skill execution, and that the Special Skill is beneficial (though not by much obviously) instead of outright hindering. She has dispel before, so nothing barring Aramis, Dancers, Grilka (needs 9 yellow tiles) or Taunt + Debuff Blocker combo, Taunt behind Dispel Preventer and passives (mainly Toons) will stop her. Depending on how the skill is programmed, the passive from heroes such as Cupido and co. may or may not prevent it (I say not because itā€™s not Special Skill blocking debuff). Of course targetā€™s attack and defense is dropped to 70%, making them easier to kill and making those 250% from placeholder Special Skill not really 250% in the first place.

I think sheā€™s better Alfrike that also lowers stats for quite a bit longer and has priority dispel. I think sheā€™s okay, at least for VF format. Plus she looks fun to play.

Aw man, sheā€™s not even a bear!

Here I was all excited about maybe an actual bear hero that I could look forward to swapping my Graymane avatar for but nooooooo ā€¦ still stuck as the faux-bear werewolf Shardik.

Oh well.

Special looks, um, interesting. With my luck I will get her and then have no clue how to figure out best use for her.

I was hoping someone would pull her and share her special animation ā€¦ but I found this, and to be honestā€¦ ā€œThatā€™ll do bear, thatā€™ll do!ā€

I do say the cursed painting are at least well designed. The negative effects are stat drops instead of status effect drops. Because if itā€™s only DD/AD. Any hero with passives that resists DD/AD will be able to resist the entire effect. Now itā€™s only limited to monk resist and undispellable ailment shields. And also ahmose with his red reflect

Was trying a few single pulls to see if I am lucky with getting the Secret Hero, but I got the following. Guess I cannot complain, even though Cecilia is a duplicate for me.

Not sure how good this Very Slow old lady is.

Iā€™m guessing Owls are benefited for this 70% defense, because itā€™s like a new target with a different stat instead of a DD.

Bearnadette looks like an Ekeko (I know Ekekos from Peru but Bolivia has them as well) although they are usually depicted as men.

I sense a buff coming and on the bright side she probably wonā€™t be nerfed!
