I was targeting red because itās the color where Iām missing the most 3s and 4s. FTP donāt usually target 5s. But the special heroes in red - in case I did luck into one - were underwhelming as was the HotM, and Gefjon showed up in FS, meaning I would soon have another good red project, so I passed. Purple holds some appeal, as I still need a three-star purple healer (Para or Aderyn), and I really would like 4-star Sergei. Add in a (really, really small) chance at these monsters, and I think Iām sold.
Thanks. I like to find a use for every hero, and I just knew Iād end up with Balur after everyone said how bad he was. Considering Iām legit using Thorne as a hitter in blue, maybe Balur could even be a step up for me!
Really? I thought folks werenāt saying much about him, and I thought Phenexa or Hathor would be preferred, not that the odds of getting either of them are much better.
with hathor i think cleaning is much better than status immunity - at least on offense!
but hathor got that mana boost plus overheal which might make her slightly better
I donĀ“t understand why people go bonkers about them, like in most colors there is one good one and one not so good oneā¦
The sniper is rather uninteresting. Snipers in general are the least interesting type of hero, unless they have some real big bonus. The fast speed is only on paper as she does zero damage at fast speed. Fast is already the slowest speed used at high end play and this one does nothing at all, you have to wait for the fiend to do some damage, which can be prevented by a healer, potentially turned into dot (even more waiting) just to be cleansed (if it doesnĀ“t happen in the same special). So really you get a very slow sniper and not even guaranteed damageā¦
The slow one is an interesting hero, but he does zero damage and zero heal at this slow speed. So while he has a very interesting effect. I am not sure how powerful it will be. I would guess mainly a rush alternative to Alf, but given that just about anybody can have a LB2 Shrubbear, I am not sure I would replace Alf. At least Alf will kill the bear. while this guys does absolutely nothing at allā¦
On offense, Griffex could be Ludwigās best friend (as his flank). By the time Ludwigās mana effect stops Ludwig should be close to cast his special again. And with Purple mono you can in theory destroy everything even without any purple tiles other than those you need to get started. Say Griffex + Ludwa + Alfrike + Lu Bu + Diaochan = RIP.
Aconiaās 250% damage fiend sounds broken, but she does literally nothing else, and to single target (more if yellow heroes are present and not targeted). Probably could be adjusted a bit down, but not on level of other fiends. Say 150% - 200% could be ok. But anyway hereās when Arco and Esme come handy.
I think the super elemental heros are very interesting and useful. I think I am leaning towards the male 5* mana control hero even if he is a slow hero he can still be very useful. I like the heros that make things interesting
Will Griffex give themself 15% or will they get no mana? Also maybe itās me, but odd choice to have the dagger do bleed AFTER itās been removed and not while itās stabbing its owner.
Evil idea, make it reduce healing after itās been destroyed. Bleed while itās attached.
The answer is yes, anyone without priority cleanse should work. The cleanse has to come after the heal to get rid of both fiend and bleed in one shot. (So costume Rigard, with heal over time, wonāt work but regular Rigard, with heal then cleanse, does work.)
From my tests in beta, even a smaller heal is good enough. Milenaās first charge removes both the fiend and the bleed just fine. And because it doesnāt take many tiles to charge her, anyone that has Milena will be able to deal with Aconia without breaking a sweat. And there are plenty of other counters, too.
Aconia is decent as an offensive hero, to bring against teams without healers or cleansers, but in my opinion not a good choice for a defense. While the fiend looks nasty because of the high damage it can dish out, as long as you get rid of it quickly, it isnāt a problem in practice.
