This is actually not a bad idea. Give him 15-20% resurrect chance after the 50% hp restore comes up and he is a mini blue Alby. Definitely might take away from all those Telly / Vela pairings

Yeah, youâre missing the whole point. Two heroes can be compared despite being of different elements. Itâs really not that big of a deal to do so, nor is it difficult to understand.
They donât want another overpowered disaster. Throw a mana pot at Wilbur too and your heroes can survive a titan slash attack.
This hero has been all over the place and still feel like he needs work.
I do not understand why you would want a resistance to attack ailments on this hero. The resistance is a complete mismatch to the heroes role. Furthermore as a monk he already has a mini resistance to ailments. This hero is more in need of a more synergetic resistance that would complement his speed and skill. Examples are immune to mana cut, mana reduction, silence etc. One of those.
The numbers of the heal are there. Dispels are also great to have so I think a tweak to make the skill harder to mana control would be the push this hero needs to become worth ascending.

Could be.
But green is already many peopleâs default mode against Telluria / Vela (mine included). This would only make it stronger.

Generally, yes. But King_Kyree77âs point was, that they wouldnât make HotMs too strong so people would spend less on event summons. And literally nobody would ever think: Nah, I already got Evelyn so I donât really need to summon for Panther this month âŠor the other way around, no matter who of them might be slightly better. Youâre really missing the whole point and itâs not difficult to understand 
Yeah, I read that and thoughtâŠ
âOkay. So itâs a 5* healer.â
Cool, I guess? But kind of underwhelming for a HotM.

I donât get the argument that SG are trying to avoid duplicating old heroesâ skill sets in order to protect the older heroes. Surely the point is to provide something different because what is the point of a bunch of heroes who look different but are effectively identical to existing characters, sometimes even the same element? I donât see it as protecting Ariel so people still buy Ariel, but avoiding being like Ariel because she already exists. If they can tempt us with both theyâre truly quids in.
I think the change from masses of heals at very slow to not so many heals at slow is probably in the right direction overall, as a very slow healer will surely charge so seldom that youâre better off bringing an extra damage dealer instead. However, youâre probably right that they have overdone the trimming down again, and given him stuff he doesnât need to make up for it.
The challenge in development is to find a unique skill or combination that actually works but isnât so perfect that all other options fall by the wayside. Opinions differ, of course, as to how successful theyâve been: from Telluria, unique and almost undefeatable (properly levelled and with the right supporting cast), to Margaret, unique but, well, pretty much pointless; and all shades in between. A healer who resists debuffs on something he isnât expected to do in the first place is unique all right but⊠eh what?

Why would it become a threat, diverse healers are always welcome. Healers with dispel, cleanse, minion, direct or DoT, reviver. All kind is needed.
I will be happy if I got this HotM, even though he might be bad he is still a healer and I will max him. Of course I hope he get buff.
Guys we are not making us any favors by railing this thread offtopic. Create a new thread and discuss other issues there.
As for Raffaeleâs dissapointed attack resistance passive, sure itâs far from good not even average. But after seeing JFâs life steal passive we canât say that Raffaele has the worst one in the game.

this hero would be better used with medium mana like this now is useless because until he takes away the mana the whole team is dead
I wouldnât use him for defense but bring him along with my blue stacks against Tellie (including Ariel). Maxed mana troop helps Ariel charge for 9 tiles, then she would give Raffaele +24% mana boost (I wonât mention my Snow White here since sheâs super rare). Raffaele could help salvage your red guys from âthe floodâ and turn the table around in a heartbeat. Right after that, the +30% defense (WHY NOT still +64%???) against Special Skills (undispellable) would make the likes of Seshat, Joon, Finley, Jabberwockâs skills mediocre at best.
Damn I wanted to comment something snarky on that but you guys already did it. But yeah, even without pathetic attack his resist would be near useless given his purely defensive special.
He might be useful to those who donât have any 5* healer. But even for me, who has two 5* slow healers he does not look that appealing. He can heal nearly dead heroes to full in few turns, but otherwise does not do much. I rather stick with my Costume Viv who can be also made average speed or Marie-ThĂ©rĂšse who is very cool to play because she has SNAKE! And ZOMBIES!

Special defense buffs are a much weaker version of a normal defense buff. So Seshat, Joon others snipers are still hitting you like a truck. Iâm not saying is a usless buff, just pointing out that the Truck is still running you over, only difference now is that you will be wearing a helmet.
Iâm very interested in this Hotm mainly becuase I do not have any 5* pure healer heroes. But if he stays this way, I dont see any reason to use my resources to pull him. When you have heroes like Tell, Clarisse comming out (in the sense that the devs still crunk out OP or really good heroes). I much rather wait another 5/6 months for the next Hotm healer to come.

I liked his previous version better, but this version still seems OK?
Would people be inclined to like him if the top line read:
Heals all allies who have less than 50% HP left to 60% health.
Or do people just want Kiril buffs
Would be interested to hear an analysis as to why the hating is strong here
