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.

Costume bonus is extremely poor, even after costume bonus, difficult to survive in current era.

Costume bonus will probably be buffed later to increase interest in the portal.

Only for 5*, not surprised. If they aren’t going to improve the 3* and 4*, can they start putting them into HA5 and HA8 like the classic CF1? Put the latter CF1 3* and 4* additions in there while you are at it.

can they make them atleast a bit more interesting?

Zuri gets a dispell instead cleanse, Eilora can destroy megaminion and Emilio boosts HP per round instead normal regen and buff block for enemies instead ailment block…

Just tiny differences, that makes them a bit more appealing

The costume bonus is certainly a placeholder / copy-pasted from classic (first) costume bonus for now. CF1 costume bonus got buffed THREE times up to this now:

It would make no business sense to release CF2 costumes with those stats in today’s E&P so it will certainly be buffed before release.

Regarding CF2 costumes in general, I was hoping for Slayers costumes first as it’s the family I have the most heroes from so was hoping to get my chance to pull them soon. I have been saving my Challenge Coins since the last CF1 event so I guess I can wait and save a bit more until Slayers costumes come out :smiley:

My opinion
1 Their stats are below par, hope will catch up soon
2 Director Zuri should heals other with minimum 40%
3 Eiora & Fluffy should increase their attack and health stats (and damage *edit 1).
4 Emilio burn and heal regeneration are very low in today game, perhaps shall increase figures or the figures increased if these skills are active while casting, otherwise this hero is considered Wayne II.

I mean, many of us have been cynically getting used to the “the costume doesn’t really do anything other than change the class, give a tiny tweak to one number up, another number down, and stat boost bonus” lazy un-effort… but so far this doesn’t even (yet) have a significant stat boost bonus.

If the costumes at least get pumped up stats… even then, is (say) updated Eiora going to turn many heads compared to the latest green Slime monster or what have you?

Hmm might not be worth leveling em, even if you have the original hero leveled is probably stripped from emblems and not broken. So massive investment for weak outcome. Just buff the stats directly don’t bother with the costume wall anymore.

I’m still using my LB2 + master emblemed Dr. Zuri for war attacks, but it looks like the costume bonus is not good enough to ever consider her on defense in any situation. Eiora & Fluffy will continue to sit on the bench with so poor stats.

Aside from the fact that the costume bonuses will be increased later (like literally every other costume bonus has been, multiple times), the passive works well with the family bonus. The famili bonus grants a 50%+ chance of cleansing status ailments every turn. Zuri in particular can soak a bunch of ailments and redistribute them on enemies with her special.
