đŸ§Ș Early Information on Round 2 of Lunar New Year Heroes [Part of The Beta Beat v64]

Love the art for these heroes. For some reason I thought the ox would be more buffed.

Nor have I, but maybe just in jest between siblings and cousins at a young age.

I think for the purpose of this game, it’s more or less representation of the actual zodiac animals themselves, but each of the animals are animatronic / personified versions of the said animals, kind of like their aspects or avatars. So I can see that all 12 of these, once all released, should all be 5* (making this the only event in the game where all the heroes are legendary).

Had they actually went with the perceived strength of the animals (real or myth), I’d expect the smaller sized ones like rat, rabbit, rooster, monkey, sheep, dog to be 3*, ox, snake, horse, pig to be 4*, making tiger and dragon the only 5*.

Of course, if they plan on running this event year after year, they could always start releasing the minor or lesser versions of the legendary heroes, and make them 3* and 4* heroes.

ah yes, like I said in another thread, my cousin used to act as though him - being a Dragon - was superior. (I am a Rabbit). Grandma and I set him straight very soon :wink:

that sounds like a very Zynga plan :stuck_out_tongue: 
 except they care mainly about 5* , so not sure if they would bother with 3* and 4* for this, though on the other hand, I wonder what they would do once they complete the cycle. start the cycle again, with more 5*?

Don’t like the slow speed at all :confused: make it average and adjust skill accordingly. Too many slow yellow consecutively

The dragons art is amazing. I really think they should buff the former Lunar new years hero and the dragon needs more of a buff with all these insane heros coming out.

The attack per removed buff for 2 turns is disappointing and will be irrelevant majority of the time. Would love to see it be a stack or remove the last 2 buffs or grant some type of immunity or cleanse. This hero has so much potential to be amazing don’t settle for where it’s at. It needs a little love.

The dragon looks amazing. Might be the first time I would roll for a hero purely because of the design.

Agreed we should petition to make heroes more powerful based on how good they look!

1 170% damage make this hero following the path of Myztero
2 this hero max attack boost is 40%, this bonus is ok but dependant.
3 this hero is ignorable in this family, i predict

I agree @ahbombim

They need to adjust him. Also only have the minion passive is sad too.

With much amazing art I reallllllly hope they don’t drop the ball in this and leave him as is, just not enough IMO.

Tye Attack for removed buff is kinda Meh. Especially at 2 turns.

IMO should boost damage to ATLEAST 210% to all

Would love to see more utility with the Special. Granting Aligment immunity or even a priority cleanse before dmg/buff steal.

Another thought is instead of just attack it’d be cool to have a reverse type of Ceto/Anne

Each buff removed give the 8% Attack/8% defense and 5% mana regen for 3 turns.

I’m sure people can come up with better options but really hope they adjust him some how

The damage cap for 6 tiles is 200 % if I am not mistaken so asking for 210 % is a stretch given his high stats.

Also buff steal is essentialy a better dispel so that very handy for 6 tiles, atk boost is a nice bonus. If they up the damage a bit towards the 200 % mark he will be a very good hero. Right now he is already decent.

That’s a fair analysis and you’re right about the cap I just checked. He also has special boost alpha.

Yes the dispelling the last buff is nice. Would love if it was last 2 and if it wasn’t just increased attack.

Just saying a lot of potential for this hero and believe they can tweak him (and should)

Just realised he has special boost alpha power so its essentially 200 % damage. With 1001 standard atk. Which should be close to 1400 with LB2

Yup will have high attack and special boost helps I guess. Really wish they’d do something to his special besides just giving a vanilla Attack increase but prob won’t happen :frowning:

How do you use gongniu? Slow healer, after he fires its three more turns before a heal
 usually in raids you want, err need, a heal a lot sooner and you wouldn’t want wait three more turns afterwards.

I see an an equilizer opportunity, but again, he is slow so he may not even fire. He is a better version of Jasper, but that’s not saying much.

Probably you use it together with gazelle to proc his effects
If it’s boosted health he would be better

I’m the same way. I am pulling for it strictly for the artwork, don’t care if underpowered or not, just personally think the card is beautiful

I think the element of the dragon hero is not correct

The Dragon is living in the WATER
 (Water is strong against Fire), so it should be a ICE element. (Yes, it feels quite strange the Rabbit belongs to Fire too)


Yeah, I agree. I feel that nature is the least fitting element for the dragon. Dragons are mostly water or fire in chinese culture. Should have been ice or fire

Though one could argue it’s rather fitting since 2024 is year of the wood dragon (aka nature/earth) as opposed to fire or water :rofl:

And Xiaotu is perfect for me because my birth year is a fire rabbit :sweat_smile:
