Belladonna - 5* Dark / Purple from Challenge Festival 2

I have started to hide polls before release just recetly as Staff started to completly rework heroes after Beta.
And some members are mentioned maybe some member’s vote would be different if they are vote, after the hero is released with the adjustments.

I was looking for Ogima, but found this old lady.
Initially I would have preferred Phenexa to her, but still, with yellow tanks starting to dominate, she looks nice. Could always do with another dark healer, and her secondary are much better then Xnolphods at the moment.

Average fiend absorb is currently at 32%, where a lot of newer fiends doing 35%. This means that at 4 or more “average” fiends her heal will benefit from healing rather than removing. One fiend on one hero… better for the rest (will get the bonus) worse for that hero (bonus healing is less than fiend). Its a trade-off, but still a nice add on.

Buff dispel immunity is very handy in the right situations. Buffs becoming more and more common, but still, don’t see her as a defender, only attacker

Originally thought she cleanses. But she doesn’t. Not worth it.

From testing, healers are better when faster that cleanse and/or add mana.

Hi @PlayForFun, you are doing a great job! Perhaps it is time to add a question to the polls about 2nd limit breaks? Best regards, Robert

I don’t think she cleanses? She just provides buff dispel immunity for her allies :thinking:

Good, idea, I will do it for the next hero card topics.

Correct - she doesn’t. And tbh the buff dispell immunity is kinda meh. I have Zicron and I literally never use him. One of my biggest LB regrets :confused:

Heroes like this mean you can’t put any fiend giving hero on defense. 42% heal PLUS 8% per fiend? 5 fiends equals 82% healing for all? GTFO. I get that it is niche, but don’t screw all fiend summoners completely! So now the pool of defense heroes is smaller and forces more defensive uniformity.

Ya, saw the word dispel and thought she cleansed. Revised my opinion of her.

Not worthy of summoning.

Lol, a world where Zircon is unusable is a special kind of place :smiley:

I love him, he is very versatile, but he is second to C.Ariel.

He works great vs def downers, if you wish to protect your heavy buffs (like taunt) and he is a Vf hp booster to all!

All his skills are still very relevant in todays meta, even has stats to keep up, so he wont be trash for a while :wink:

I wonder how this mana passive works on Ludwig? Does she effectively reduce Ludwig 100% mana given by the end of the turn? If so, she’d be a great offensive counter to Ludwig especially with the double Lb I’ve been seeing in raids. Anyone test this out?

Belladonna’s passive is only relevant for mana increase by special skill (cSif, Xnol, Topaz, Grimble, etc.). Ludwig’s special is casting a buff and not increasing mana. The mana is generated by the buff and not his special. So it’s not reduced by Belladonna.

Got it!! Thanks!! So easy to mix those ups. Appreciate the clarification.

Somehow I thought Belladonna would match her name and be a beautiful piece of art. :thinking:

Guess I was wrong

Amazing Hero and healer at that, especially considering an extra 8% healing *per fiend which would easily remove them and essentially is a fiend destroy in and of itself. 8% x 5 = 40% extra heal on all party members on top of a 42% base. Few fiends absorb more than 40% health…

Also provides dispel immunity and when paired with Ferdinand or a counter attack class - watch out :drooling_face:. What other heroes provide dispel immunity… let’s not forget her 54% attack boost on ALL party members too.

Also a bard class so the 5% Mana boost is huge. Oh ya and Rogue class for passive 20% evasion and one of the first healers I’ve seen whose LB2 passive is actually useful and not attack up… but rather +20% overall defense for 6 turns

Easily top 10 healer. Will be using her as a flank

She is 1 tile away from fast speed with Mana troops and her passive… hence top 10 but DYOR… anything faster would’ve been crazy OP. What other hero provides immunity to dispel… in addition to a fiend repellent.

I have most of those heroes you listed and have used them on offense and defense; I’d still take her on defense over a number of those in your list. The fact that Ferdinand isn’t in the top 10 already made you lose credibility with me. Best of luck :v:

Immunity to dispell is not one of the best skills for top class healers

The strongest healers need to be either fast or clean or create mana or overheal or block status- the more of those skills combined together the better

On offense sure I’d agree with you, but her overall utility is crazy. How many healers are rogue class for a passive 20% evade… again her dispel immunity I’m linking to group synergy; not it alone - why I said paired with Ferdinand (cleanse with ailment reflect)
