The fact that nobody replies here says enough. He was my first upgraded hero but now he keeps the bench warm and is too weak. Even with costume ( which I don’t have) he is still weak.

Ludwig will be happy to eat him

4

You compare a 4* Season 1 hero with a 5* Event hero. Not fair.

Cyprian is a good 3* hero #joke

All I was saying that I fed him to Ludwig not comparing.
S1 heroes without costumes are mostly useless now.

I tried a similar strategy on one of the floors, forgetting that Cobalt bypasses defensive buffs.

Totally! Because I totally do those tower events.

yes, I had to try that floor twice because I forgot about Cobalt. Unfortunately, I have no better strategy. I made it on 2nd try by loading up on healers, and bringing Titanium shields and a Miracle scroll. My Celidana survived Cobalt’s hit, I was able to revive everyone, and in the end it was still riposte/reflect that killed Cobalt. I just had to keep my team alive long enough for luck to fall on my side.

Question on his 2LB ability. If I trigger his special during a mob wave, beat the mob two turns later, and then go onto a new mob wave does he:

  • Use the 3 remaining turns of his special?

  • The 60% 2LB ability overrides his special?

  • Something else? Maybe after the 3 remaining turns if his special he gets 3 turns of 2LB power?

IDK, but a fair question. Same would be true of any riposte hero with a riposte 2LB ability.

No one knows? I am not going to 2LB mine just to see, but you’d think someone would know.

Interesting. If, for example, LB2 is Fury, then it accumulates with special skill Fury (there are two Fury icons, they are independent). I think that should be the same here (185% riposte?). Will be looking for him in raids to check.

I’ve just found team with LB2 Li Xiu (counterattack) and Elena.
Counterattacks don’t stack. Elena’s riposte overwrites LB2 Li Xiu aether power

There is riposte from LB2

3 turns left and then Elena is firing…

So, during waves, they probably will overwrite each other. I can’t check more. I won’t risk LB2 him, if he really overwrites his riposte.

PS. I think, the same could be also with LB2 Wu Kong :slight_smile:

Wow, fantastic @Ei-Dunn thank you taking time to do that! 185% riposte seemed too good to be true! :laughing:

Here is my reply, 1st hero I fully leveled up and LB… He is a beast, especially with the 50% chance to recover over 200 hp along with those beside him recovering 10%.

His 60% riposte trumps his special, its best to save using his special until the next wave starts and that will override the 60%

19

The same skill overwrites the last one. Different skills add, but most have a limit, ie %160 max

20

I use the 2nd costume, he can’t hel his friend, but hé reduce damage of 35%, and he makes constantly huge minions of 560HP

With thé minions he can get to >3800 HP
