Carol’s delayed DOT

If I remember correctly you both play Puzzle Combat with a similar mechanic. Any thoughts on delayed DOT in Empires?

Another discussion of delayed DOT

A very good friend of mine:

One problem is that if she casts her special on someone who already has a gift box, the timer is reset which makes things worse!

I agree ( see notes on Jack’s delayed DOT ).

Most games I play usually solve this by letting delayed DOT stack like minions instead of overwriting like defense debuffs.

Overtime Devs usually add more powerful version. So the 4* version would be non cleansable and the 5* version would be non removable.

I like Jack.

Basically an anti Kailani ( DOT bypasses defense buff )

Since the delayed DOT ( a popular version of DOT in several other games I play like BoH ) does zero damage if the fight ends before the delayed DOT fires, can be cleansed early by costume Tyrum, can be stopped by Gato’s special skill and loses half its effectiveness if the target is killed early ( including the initial direct damage ), I would buff the nearby damage from 142 to 285.

A LOT of my favorite games use delayed DOT and have for decades.

Additionally, Delayed DOT usually overwrites itself. Which in many situations means it effectively CLEANSES itself.

When there is a single boss ( looking at you rare tier challenge events ), or 1-2 remaining opponents, this heavily nerfs delayed DOT.

Especially if the A.I. is running Delayed DOT.
