šŸ”Ŗ Cathal ā€“ 5* Ice/ Blue from Slayers of Fell Shadows

Once I get tome of tactics Iā€™ll max him. Iā€™m not saying heā€™s the best unit for scopes, but in my situation my rainbow defense has Rumple, but I really want to stip his emblems to put towards Director Zuri and Lepiota who I pretty much use everywhere. Barbarian emblems are the ones I have the most of, so heā€™ll go to 20 almost immediately and allow me to place him on defense team instead of Rumple.

I donā€™t have either, but I wonder how he compares with his closest parallel in Costumed Thorne. While Cathal has better stats across the board and hits harder, Thorne is faster (at least initially) and can easily be made to fire in 9 tiles.

Both also can increase their speed to be effectively fast though Thorne does this more quickly.

For the 19th note Iā€™m wondering if I should go Mana or defense. I donā€™t know how big of a difference the mana will make since he gets so much extra during the fight

Def is better since heā€™ll get 50% mana gen quite quickly!

Anyone know if he still stacks while used with Gazelle. Gazelle removes all buffs and Iā€™ve just got Cathal as my first slayer

Congratulations!! Not sure how he goes with Gazelle, but know thisā€¦ Cathal hits really hard. Pair him up with Gazelleā€™s attack up, and the defense down on your target, and that enemy will die.

Gazelle does not remove his stacks.

Thanks mate, ideal! He will go in above Thorne in my blue stack I think.

Now, do I take him defense route or attack?

What have others done with him?

I went attack path


Ooft nice, what do you think of him?

I like him a lot, he was on my defense with senan for awhile and did very well. Switched him out for morel recently. Strong sniper that can take a hit or two and not die.

Pair him up with a defense down dealer and an attack up buffer, and game over.

You havenā€™t played with him. Once his stacks are up he charges in the exact same tiles as Magni, but does almost double the damage.

Lol by the time you reach the 10 stacks the combat is already over. This hero sucks even in VFā€¦

For me he is a very solid hero, he is on my best raiding team, his bypass chance and heal over time count for me more then starting speed. When he get almost fast, he cleans all the board. Slayers all have big Def stat, they donā€™t die that easy until they reach near fast speed

He gets better as time goes by, no doubt, but heā€™s the worst slayer of the bunch. Just big snipe damage to one heroā€¦and itā€™s not THAT big because his attack stat is low. Is he better than Magni? Maybe. Thatā€™s not a big ringing endorsement.

Iā€™ve been tracking how many turns it takes for his 50% mana boost to fully stack. Itā€™s less than 12 turns. Go ahead and tell us that you kill everyone in less than 12 turns, then weā€™ll know youā€™re a liar.

Even though I have 3 other slayers maxed with emblems (saoirse, Senan, Caitlin) regret giving this one trick pony scopes.

If I can get even a couple of mats refunded to trade/feed him off, Iā€™d do it without regret.

Maybe my biggest 5* regret along with lady loki and fenrir.
