There appear to be no changes to Costumed Azlar from last-seen Beta stats, skill, and design.
(The Burn damage is depending on attack stat. So it can be different with x2 costume bonus)

Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later.

C. Tyr is two speeds faster, does 50% less direct dmg, but more DOT and has additional revive skill…

And C. Tyr is above average but not amongst best of heroes…

C. Azlar is underpowered if thats his release form.
I would buff his DOT dmg and 20% more to 3 (330%).

[Nightmare2048]

Yeah, both C2-Alzar and C2-Justice. I am probably going to skip costume pulls, especially since I managed to land C2-Obakan last time (who is definitely among the best C2 costumes. Who would think that Obakan would be desired one day? Same for Quintus?).

Alzar has at least decent first costume, so power boost can be handy. All forms of Justice are meh though.

[Tidyup]

Just pretend these are his grandsons. And yes these cubs are zimkitha’s in my lore

[Kenzo]

Omg the art is so adorable, I can’t deal. I need him for that Even the bows in his hair.

[Tidyup]

Can you imagine how badass this is, bringing your grandchildren into war?

[Keven]

The worst costume what the hell is this art child hero child game yeah i may have to stop playing

[Shyam]

Wow … Love to see that art. Two cute kittens … Loveable… I need him for that and my kid will surely enjoy this .!!!

[Tidyup]

It’s zimkitty’s babies and he’s playing with them like a supportive grandparent

[Vidya128]

Awwww!! They are so cute are they twin .
Let’s talk about there name.

I think Nala and Simba will be cool names for babies I want your opinion.

I want Azlar just for babies

@PlayForFun

What do you think Costumed Azlar’s Primary Purpose is?

@PlayForFun Please add a option with ‘to make player happy with his babies’

And please add a option for his artwork

[IgH]

Rather disappointed that they released him like this. Once again, SG has failed to make the healing from DoT mechanic actually worthwhile. 190 HP/turn assuming 3 targets are still alive isn’t great. Particularly when Azlar is not built for bulk and is so slow. To make this skill actually work requires a strong blend of speed, high DoT or a higher healing percentage, and range (either to affect more enemies or to heal more allies). 3 other heroes that I can recall have this mechanic and none are what most people would consider good: Morgan Le Fay, Klaern, and c2Kelile.

[Tidyup]

This is like what, klaern 5.0 now?

[Kenzo]

I did notice they buffed his DoT slightly from 400 to 636, not sure how much difference that makes but at least the costume bonus makes his first costume better? Just a shame second costume isn’t better because who wouldn’t want to go into war with the kids

[Fenix9119]

Just got to remember that a lot of these costumes are geared towards F2P & newer players in an attempt to bring their S1 Heroes up a bit to try to compete with the more experienced players & players with larger stables of premium heroes… Veteran Players might skip these costumes but all the bonuses & additional costumes give newer players more heroes to use, essentially 3 different heroes with a single summons… Veteran Players might not need or use them but newer players do & will…

[Fenix9119]

I for one will use my keys to try for 2cQuintus but he’s the only one… I do have 2cJoon fully maxed (all costumes & +20) and that 2nd costume version has really helped my Gold Team immensely despite being S1…

Well, if this would be the case, there would be no need to hide S1 improvements behind a paywall …

Version 55 Beta 3 - New Classic Hero Costume Feedback: Azlar

Players really liked the artwork. Players had greater expectations given the slow speed of the Hero and a suggestion was made to have the heal affect all allies and not just the caster. Some players would prefer a different secondary effect rather than burn. Another suggestion was made to have his skill more defensive in nature to match with the artwork theme.

Suggestions:

• Deals 300% damage to the target and nearby enemies; The target and nearby enemies get -44% attack for 4 turns; All allies reduce all received damage by -50% for 4 turns.
• Deals 280% damage to all enemies; Summons 1 “Baby Lion” minion for the caster and nearby allies with 30% HP and 20% Attack from the caster. Each hit from the Baby Lion minions applies the following effect: The hit target receives 200 burn damage over 2 turns.

@Petri very disappointed. you never listen to feedback from beta player.

Azlar’s C2 skill right now is really ridiculous.

[Tellybelly]

He should def summon baby lions hahaha and they apply the burn? Too perfect

[Vidya128]

Or maybe they’ll do enemies diaper dirty. Everytime baby lion make enemies diaper dirty. The enemy will get 100 damage
O’course enemy will get a dirty diaper sign in his face
