This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the Round 2 of the Journey 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: Journey Heroes

*There are a total of four (4) new heroes added to Beta for testing.

*The names of the new heroes are:

SG & Zynga are making a type of magnet which attract whales and repel for F2P.

Can’t say anything. She’s too much OP.

Same thing for her.

Xiong is a bear, and probably male since its special is “Fury of the Mountain Lord”.

Foks but you know that you can’t compare this to Xeno. For Xeno you didn’t have any counter action. Here you can simple clear status before it will give any mana to allays.

What does Vengeance do ? Is it like Counter ?

You do that and will take 350 HP AoE Damage. But still better than reloading entire enemy team, I guess. And manageable with overheal.

no you were not. I legit thought it was another event :rofl:

It’s pretty useless to even say it, those two legendaries are nuts. Queen, at average, is very punishing whatever you choose to do. Don’t use special skill? You’ll probably get wrecked during those 4 turns. Use special skill? You charge your enemy faster and, the way rng works, your special will most likely miss altogether. Try to dispel? If blind doesn’t wreck you, you receive yet more damage. If blind wrecks you, again you charged your enemies faster than normal. The only ideal scenario is having a cleanser ready and a combo that annihilates the most out of the enemy team. I think at least blind should be removed entirely from that special.

You know, I can’t believe that i’m thinking this, but actually… these don’t seem that unreasonable?

I mean, sure, the numbers are high… the vengeance is a really fun concept actually! Although, I do think that the mana gain number could be lowered from +10% on every special. To be honest, as was mentioned - you can probably just prepare for it and then dispel it off and job done. Snow White would have a particularly fun time with dispelling and cleansing everyone … Ana-Belle just became a lot more relevant too… for a massive heal :stuck_out_tongue:

As fro Xiong… eh… no direct damage which is interesting… and sure, the heal for 3 is substantial, but again, dispellable!

The 4* and the 3* are just always nice additions to any roster, regardless of how much weaker they look compared to their 5* counterparts though :heart:

More OP heroes to keep whales splurging, nothing new. $G’s greed and complete disregard for balance continues to astound me. This game will be dead by the year’s end

15

I agree, the Queen really doesn’t feel that OP since she’s average, and every line is dispellable/cleansable.

Or use a vfast ailment blocker like Vanda/Emllio/Garnet or even Grazul and not even worry about the blind. I’d probably use Garnet in this case since boosted health is always useful. Then focus on getting your main stack rolling and take out as many heroes as possible.

I think 5% is better.

I’m sorry, but these two heroes are insane. Imagine both of these on the same team as the Hippo.

Doesn’t matter, I have hatter and diaochan. Can’t dispel, just steal everything in plain sight

cPanther, El Nad, Onyx, and even cSabina and Ana-Belle say hi.

Keep in mind that this only covers dispel upon special skills. Which means Cao Cao and xiahou dun’s minions can still dispel it without triggering that damage
