This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the initial release of the Round 6 of Season 5 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: Season 5 Heroes

There are a total of two (2) new heroes added to Beta for testing; these have been indicated to be for Season 5.

Does this mean healers can only affect the one with greed and minion summoners can only summon for the one with greed, Buffs are only for the one with greed etc? This is an interesting special. First actually interesting hero in this portal that needs thinking for usage rather than just being an OP powerhouse.

What i understand from Anubis he silences all for 3 turns at average? Thats niche if not wrong and has some usability.

Eset unfortunately is mr.nothing nothing to be mad and slow??? Unless for titans

I have a feeling your opinion will change about Eset. Thats a slap to all which is a tad less than Sobek than another 180. I dont find Malin mrs nothing at all

Ä°f the initial damage was to all would definitely agree with you and that would be a new mechanic half you now what your special does and half the randomness. We will see

Hmm. I’ve been waiting for Anubis since day 1 of S5 and now I don’t know what to think to be honest. I was expecting a Loki & Xnolphod-like character (regarding usefulness).
Let’s try to focus on the facts.
Interesting new kind of mechanism which is good and I’m always happy to see something creative, something innovative. But (and there is a big BUT).
As I understand his special skill correctly he is VERY MUCH a situational character which is not good. Mainly because even in those situations he is not really a game changer (it’s relative though I know).

  1. Defenses are highly built around offensive skills & characters. In all those cases this greed doesn’t seem very appealing. (Basically useless.)
  2. “Enemies immune to new status effects” is something similar but faster in cases of Hypnos, cPanther etc.
  3. He does no direct damage nor any kind of heal (minion) on average speed.
  4. He does poison enemies which is quite frequent nowadays - meaning it is bad synergy with everything else poisonous (including Set who seems much more fun to be honest (also a new S5 hero, just like Matilda).
  5. He does -34% defense on average speed while there are very fast & fast heroes with -20% & -24% defense not to mention fast cPanther and average cDomitia
 with sick elemental defense down.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not necessarily waiting for an imbalanced character and I am absolutely positive about innovation but in this current state I feel like: poor Anubis. He deserves much better & conscious execution.

I feel like he’s trying to be kinda’ counter of Zuri, Cleopatra, Bennu & counter strikers maybe. I wouldn’t want to chase for him at all. I find 90-95% of S5 heroes much stronger and more appealing.

I think a Quintin-like debuff would be much more fitting for Anubis. Or a status effect which focuses on / prevents / reflects / accumulates negative buffs in some way.

Eset I find pretty poor too. Again, 90% of times Khufu does 2250% damage sitting in defense and has a super useful stacking debuff. Eset does half amount.

I just don’t understand. What do you think? Do I miss something important?

At the first glance, I thought the Greed status prevents all allies except the caster from using their special skills, but it was not what I thought. Can we have that instead?

The Special Skills can be used by heroes, but the effects are not applied:

Eg: no buffs are added, no minions summoned, etc
 for non “Greed” heroes.

This means you don’t want to target different enemies if charged fast enough. As a sort of “silencer”, i’ll stick with Lepiota.

Anubis - Can someone coherently explain the value of this hero. Hit three and limits buffs/benefits from allies to those that are impacted. That is 60% of the enemy team, not a big handicap and the DoT is mild.

Eset is our Titan specialist tile enhancer for Holy. Enough said. If you max 5* for titans you’ll want her, if you don’t do that yet then hope you get her, save her until you do.

Greed is a sort of reverse taunt. That is, taunt that works with allie’s skills.
So you heal → only greed target gets the heals.
You use a HoTM → only greed target gets elemental link.
You cleanse → only greed target gets cleansed.
It doesn’t matter if the caster has greed or not, effects are filtered and only affect greed targets.

Must have been a very popular new skill among SG execs

Perhaps even their idea, and creative contribution to the development :smiley:

And no cleansing, except for the person with Greed? It’s almost like a reverse taunt in that respect, and so even if you cleanse that, the rest of the party is stuck with poison and defence down.

The greed only applies to a single target.

Correct, the cleansing will only work the “Greed” enemy only.
