This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on inital release of Opera heroes

Don’t get too attached

Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual 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 features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.

:tophat: Opera Heroes

*There are a total of two (2) new heroes added to Beta for testing.

*The names of the new heroes are:

  • +5% / +10% defense.

For Phantom, you forgot to update his family after copy/pasting :wink:

I guess those are the Solstice Summon exclusive heroes for this year.

though we also have the Construct heroes… unless, we get two families/4 heroes introduced in Summer Solstice?

well why not, the more heroes/families the merrier (sarcasm fully intended)

Yuppp. Hold your breath until the re-balancing is finished though.

Fast speed, both Inari AND Gazelle are still a bit jealous.

Can be. Last time just 2 heroes from the same family were not enough and they had to include super-elusive Bonus Draw hero. How to trump that? Well, by including two families.

Woohoo even more ridiculous, overpowered heroes. These $G clowns continue spewing out these broken cashgrabs. Time to quit

Dear Zynga,

Just be open and honest when you want players to chase after a new hero.

Why do you need to nerf Gazelle for Odette ?

She’s fast while Gazelle is average.
Gazelle reduces damage and boosts attack.
Odette offers dodge, 75% chance for Hippo-attack.
Those 2 buffs will help keep Allies alive longer.

The competitive players will gravitate to Odette because she’s fast and gives Dodge. She’s a blue alternative to C Kadilen.

If you still want to release Odette as is, please don’t nerf her within 6 months or at all.

Think carefully at least thrice before releasing Odette as is cos you lose more players with each consequent nerf.

Your money-focused Balance strategy is clearly not working as intended.

6 months? They shouldnt release a hero having a nerfing prospect in mind regardless of the timeline.
Its what got us into this situation in the first place.

These 2 heroes are absolutely madness and should not be released like this. Regardless of how they tweak the numbers, Odette does too many things and will be omnipresent in defenses. Its a timebomb waiting to happen.
These 2, the 2 from journey too… a lot of stupidly strong heroes while they cry about how heroes are reaching a cap on how strong they can be.
Which can only be translated as “these heroes in the game are too strong that people wont pull for our new heroes that are intended to be stronger”

The words I would like to use are not permitted on the forum.

Shame that there is an edict from above to drain the player base of as much $$$ as possible in the shortest period of time. Overall they could get more money in total by taking our money more slowly.

WHY:
By taking it as quickly as possible SG is forced to release heroes too enticing to ignore which is essentially something monstrously unbalanced. This forces things like the mega update (nerf) which is incensing the player base and making the entire game less enjoyable.
With a more measured approach SG could release more balanced heroes, focus a bit more on QoL issues and have a happier player base, fewer players leaving with new players joining means a larger player base willing to chip in with a steady stream of purchases.

There is no way that this game is not minting a fortune for the parent company, even at the lower but longer spend level. Any desperate “need” for cash from above is because of corporate excesses (aka mismanagement of financial resources).

They have a product that is utterly addictive and enjoyable for the players and yet they are hellbent on destroying it. Why??

I will only say that : a Healing Gazelle (both versions) is a top answer to the dancing specials of the Opera Heroes… especially the :imp: Phantom’s ailments :slight_smile:

All that can be easily understood from reading the Opera Hero specials !

I didn’t realize that this was a new family and only two heros in a portal with anemic odds to pull one and I WANT BOTH! Not chasing but will try a few pulls and see what happens …
Good luck everyone!!

The special seems a bit complicated. I hope to pull them so I can try and get the most out of these heros.

This is 75% for each hero to launch 425% Hippo attack for each consecutive special skill cast. That is like having 4 Hippos doing double damage

Even 150% would be too much, I think

Do you think these heroes will be featured in the upcoming Solstice Summons or the Constructs? Or both?
