With a maxed damage of 244% to all and attack stat of 920 (fully LB+20), Odin his hit is simply way under the average of newer heroes. I do not have the costume (is it even out already?), but even with it, his performance in today’s meta is simply not on par.
His damage should be increased to 220% plus 18% per holy tile (max 8) - this would result in still a mediocre 364% to all. This is still rather low compared with the newer heroes but will make him appealing again.
The mana increase should start at +12% and can remain maxed out at 28% when 8 tiles are present.
After all, he is the God of all Gods… the All-Father… and The God of War!
I was always under the impression that in Norse mythology the “God of War” was Tyr… So lets buff all the supposed “Gods of War”… Ares, Tyr and Guan Yu!
From Wikipedia (Odin - Wikipedia): Odin (/ˈoʊdɪn/;[1] from Old Norse: Óðinn ) is a widely revered god in Germanic paganism. Norse mythology, the source of most surviving information about him, associates him with wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, war, battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet, and depicts him as the husband of the goddess Frigg.
Tyr (Týr - Wikipedia): Týr (/tɪər/;[1]Old Norse: Týr, pronounced [tyːr]) is a god in Germanic mythology, a valorous and powerful member of the Æsir and patron of warriors and mythological heroes. In Norse mythology, which provides most of the surviving narratives about gods among the Germanic peoples, Týr sacrifices his hand to the monstrous wolf Fenrir, who bites it off when he realizes the gods have bound him.
So it seems Odin is the God of War, but Tyr is the ‘saint’ of the warriors.
Odin is the God of Everything as he is the King of Gods for the Greek Mythology.
Just pointing out that Odin is the Big Man, also associated with war, but is now designed as a 3rd class hero dressed up for some costumed party.
To be clear, I have Odin at LB+20 and still use him a lot in a yellow stack to boost Eloise and Viv C2’s mana, but I do not count on his damage.
It’s like creating a hero called ZEUS or JUPITER and then just let him hit all with 80% and heal for 10% of dealt damage. Makes no sense. That’s all I’m indicating here. The King of the Gods should do some real useful stuff; unconditionally.
I remember when I started playing E&P and everyone was “Let’s nerf Odin and Frigg”. I was thinking Odin was quite a catch. Got him a few month ago, he will be waiting quite a bit for levelling
