šŸ§Ŗ Early Information on Superior Talents for Season 1 heroes [Part of The Beta Beat v51]

Thats a misunderstanding. The talent nodes will not change , the new super talent only activates if the 20th talent node is emblemed.

Happy gaming

No, this is just some extra benefit for free which overrides the class specific Talent node effects. (Jinx, etcā€¦)

Sorcerer is only one that didnā€™t get secondary effect. I think they should add -5% Mana too on target

Druid minion had 504 health (I think) in Beta when spawned. So, no, not exactly.

On a normal Horghall it was almost 600 with +20 emblems without LB.

Yeah, amazing. Devana has, what, a minion of 550ish health, Noorā€™s minions go to 450ish. Iā€™d say it is an improvement.

Basically it ensures my melendor could survive longer and he isnā€™t a liability against skadi. Although I wished the empowered thorn has an additional effect, maybe dispel like from XHDā€™s minions

i hope these Superior Talents do not come to non S1 heroes(which we all know, will happen eventually)

At most itā€™s only given to the season heroes and not event heroes. That I can accept and itā€™s fair

True, when it does come to the non S1 heroes, Khufu in rush is insane. Adding in the ability to reflect damage, and then he fires, essentially sets him up to basically end the match with his team the winner.

I hope they consider giving barbs at least extra 10% bleed. So from 60% to 70%

Iā€™m actually very excited for isarnia. Sheā€™s one of the heroes whose QOL will benefit a lot once this is in game. 50% chance to dispel all enemies, on top of the 44% DD. I might even consider bleming her soon

Her special is written different, the way I read it is she will dispel after attacking regardless of if Jinx activates. We will have to see once people test.

Example others all say ā€œif effect is triggeredā€ this is worded ā€œall hit enemiesā€

I got excited too. Until I read the fine print.

Her upgraded talent kicks only after her specials fire.

So I will still need a dispeller to remove ailment blockers.

Iā€™m baffled how everyone is really happy about this. To me, this is like someone starving for a week and then someone tossing a cheezit to satisfy the hunger. The fact still remains the S1 heroes need a buff sitting at 80 points below what is being released. Joon without the costume at 20 nodes is just a tad more than what is being released at 852. Think about it. Does the super talent make up the difference???

This is a step in the right direction but its miles away from what needs to be done.

IDK what you are looking at but there are some very noticeable gameplay improvements with what is above. Take for example fighting Alrike in Rush war. You can have vivica 60% chance to resist & reflect, with Leo and Joon 50% chance to resist and off healer Rigard with a 60% chance to resist and reflect. Then maybe 1 premium hero in the mix, say Devana to remove taunts. Your chances of winning if Alfrike fires are greatly improved by this single buff alone, there is a high chance she will mindless herself and you have a high chance one of your cleansers is free to help anyone who did not resist.

TBH I think too much is made of stat differences. For me the real impact is the power of new special skills and the speed difference they go off at.

For players still relying on using a lot of S1 heroes these enhanced skills are really useful and may lead to me rethinking the cost/reward aspect for heroes Iā€™ve stopped at node 18/19 on instead of going full 20

The vast majority of players donā€™t worry about their S1 heroes being able to raid in high Diamond, or war against 5000+ TP teams.

Anything that helps make easier to get S1 5*s perform better in maps, events, towers, trials, etc, is a good thing for them.

I donĀ“t believe jinx will work on defdown etc. I believe it only works on dealing damage? It says ā€œafter damage is dealtā€. Not sure though.
If 0 damage is also damage then maybe 0 buffs on the enemies is also buffs? Of course that is rather unimportant, because 0 buffs means there is nothing to dispel in the first place haha.

Iā€™m almost certainly giving Khagan his 20th node. That bypass will be super useful against the bosses in Events and Towers. Will probably do the same for Leonidas, Joon, and Elena.
