🧪 Early Information on Round 2 of Beach Party Heroes [Part of The Beta Beat v67]

What I’m seeing here looks like

  • updated-stats Prof Lindenbrock (trades cleanse-first for buffs, light water DoT, overall faster speed; cLindenbrock has a better upfront heal, of course)

  • updated-stats (c)White Rabbit

  • one actual kinda-new combination of abilities… that would be more interesting if not Slow or at least affected all

The last, Slow hero feels like it could really use a fix, sure.

The other two don’t seem so much “garbage” as just “not very new,” which maybe is disappointing for folks who already have like everything but… might still be useful either to folks who don’t have Lindenbrock or WR, or folks who do have them but have been uncertain about leveling up those older heroes due to stat decay (especially for folks who have the older heroes and not their costumes, but possibly even with costume).

Also, Kalevala is a pretty good seasonal, I’d say?

  • Aino is a solid cleanse-first healer (and, if costumed, switchable between two relevant useful defensive classes) — and the Sisu “omg low hp” passive can be especially useful on a main healer

  • Ukkonen headlines with “undispellable buffs” but does a useful raft of stuff, and the family bonus says “actually tanky” if you want

  • Kullervo is still reasonably popular given the berjillion :crazy_face: heroes released since him: Mindless is useful, uncleansable (even to one color) Mindless even better

  • Louhi is dispel-first to all plus DD (even if the latter is a bit light, undispellable to some)

  • the other 5* are mostly at least decent, and Mielikki and Joukahainen are pretty nice for their weight classes
