All Information from Beta is Subject to Change!
Don’t get attached
Details from beta, especially brand-new beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual feature release.
It’s incredibly common that features are changed during beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of beta testing.
So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of skills to be removed or reworked.
Element Link addons
I am writing the changes in groups.
In the Beta application the actual element is written instead of (same element)
Hel, Athena, Ares, Musashi and Alberich
Elemental Lnk gives all (same element) allies +15% attack and +15% defense for 6 turns. This effect can’t be dispelled.
Thoth-Amun, Perseus, Natalya, Zeline and Delilah
Elemental Link gives +10% mana generation for all (same element) allies for 4 turns. This effect can’t be dispelled.
Element Link updates
Malicna, Frosth, Yang Mai, Elradir and Devana
Elemental Link gives all (same element) allies small amount of mana at the end of each turn for 4 turns. This effect can’t be dispelled.
Side note:
The Elemental Links are affecting all elements for heroes earlier than 2021 due to the Family bonus change:
This is the thing that gets me. We knew this was a good elemental link. And it’s gone.
The extra attack/defense for the first batch of HOTM is very strong and now is one of hte better ones. 10% for 4 turns seems good enough. 15% for 6 turns is pretty solid.
10% mana generation is better than the 4% elemental link that already exists! 10% can actually make a difference.
@PlayForFun elemental link mana slightly reduced for recent hotm’s yang mai, Devana , frosth … can you please add it in the post. I don’t see it’s mentioned here in post that it’s reduced.
Yes it was small. But in reality small ≠small.
Grimble gives small mana. 0,8 mana
Hotm element link (old) gives small mana. 0,5 mana
Hotm element link (new) gives small mana. Less than 0,5 mana.
So the wording was from the beginning. They should just write a number and forget small, moderate or what else they write now…
I do not understand, the words does not change, and we do not know what changed.
Where do you know? I agree it should just write by number instead of small/moderate.
From this. As I’m not in beta I can’t verify it. But I’m pretty sure it’s true, otherwise it wouldn’t make any sense as the wording from the link is the same,so the change must be something different.
