Seconded. I’ve been checking the rankings periodically for this same reason. Seems like the Guine, Panther, Zeline meta has been in effect for awhile now. The only silver lining to my Wolf draw, was drawing two Gravemakers in the process.
I say shake things up! Nerf Guine, buff Wolf, dismantle the meta, everyone’s(?) happy!
Just make the wolf playable, so we can have a wider choice of heroes to mix up and strategize more in wars / titan battles / special events!
Come on devs are you hearing us???
I’m getting slaughtered since I put BW at tank. I even have Alby and Ariel in there with him to help speed him up. I have him at 4/80 with 2 emblems and a lvl 18 crit troop…I don’t know how it’s possible that he is not harder to kill. Any advice on what heroes might work well with him on a rainbow defense?
I feel like the Zeline nerf had about as much effect as her added garment.
Where Boss’s nerf put a pair of the same garments on him also! At least we can’t see his, phew…
Ive paid close attention to Boss Wolf after I pulled him a while back. I still jump on groups that use him, but it’s not because I think they will be easy, but because I want to see how well he does.
I still think he is a top tank. I would say top purple, but Ursena is just so evil. Then again, I run mono and she is the most anti-mono hero out there. I will still put him over Kunchen who is a non-issue to me.
However, the reality is that Kunchen and Ursena are better heroes all around. Boss Wolf is virtually impossible to use outside a tank. Ive had him sitting at 70 forever and I just cant bring myself to sacrifice valuable mats for a hero that would only be dedicated to war tank.
Zeline, Drake, Kingston and Neith would be some of the best flanks for him. Their ATT down or blind would help him survive.
Mostly he just needs more emblems. The Druid tanks start to get really powerful the more often their minions proc.
@DaveSonnenberg I have Kingston on his last ascension and the mats for Nieth’s final ascension. I’ve been hesitant to use my darts on Neith because I have tried flanking BW with Justice +7 nodes and that is not very effective. Maybe Neith’s mana speed will help? Kingston is a beast, but It’s really nice having Alby’s revive ability…Although, swapping out Alby with Kingston would solve my problems of having two druids on my main defense depleting my emblems.
Yeah Neith is a much, much stronger flank than Justice. The mana speed and the mana cut make her doubly better.
I’m using Kingston to flank my Owl this war. Owl is much weaker than Boss Wolf but at +12 he’s starting to get scary even though he’s got some flaws.
I’d be using Boss Wolf myself as I much prefer him to Owl but it made more sense for our alliance to go yellow as we’ve got a few Guins and Onatel’s.
I really like Neith. I was gonna replace Owl with her as my war tank but couldn’t get her unfortunately. Seshat is happy though, she gets to keep her Ranger emblems 
@DaveSonnenberg Thanks for the insight on Neith. I’m going to go ahead and max her. In the mean time I’ll try Li Xiu. I have her and her costume maxed with 19 nodes…fingers crossed.
Don’t you think, it’s a bit too much healing and not enough fire power?
Your team is pretty slow with 3 average, one slow and one very slow hero.
You got any fast blue 5* which you could use instead of Ariel?
If you e.g. got a magni, alasie, Misandra or Alice, they would be the better choice, instead of Ariel.
Boss Wolf is NOT weak…but yay! Fables is here so it is BOSS WOLF WEEK! Like any tank, his success depends on putting the right team around him and properly outfitting him. Properly done he is, IMO a top 3 tank in the game behind Ursena, but they are quite different. Ursena will eat you up and spit you out, Boss at 1100 defense and 1900 health will stiff arm you while his team loads up to pick you apart. And like any tank, good luck doing it six times in war. #BossIsBoss
I have Athena, Thorne, Richard, and Miki, but Miki is the only one leveled and none them are fast. I do have Kingston almost maxed, but it’s hard to pull Alby out. I have Grimm maxed with 20 nodes…still average though. If Ariel comes out I lose a cleanser and 34% mana increase which in addition to Boss’s 34% boost, which can’t be dispelled, makes it almost unneccessary for another attacker. Teams basically kill themselves hitting the middle three. I would definitely try Misandra in there if I had her to see though.
It’s not economical to leave Alby in though. I can’t emblem up 2 5* druids anytime soon. That’s why I am toying with replacing him with Kingston to give me that fast attack I’m lacking now.
