Didnāt checked for awhile thought I might get surprised but, lolāed, another underwhelming HOTM.
Start at 400% average speed. Assume you fire off a minions summoner before him, so +5 minions. Thatās +125%?
So now we have a āaverage speedā āsingle targetā hitter that only hit 525%. And thatās only if he gets helped by another hero. Otherwise he will hardly ever hit that hard by himself. Great idea for another useless HOTM, SG are killing it!
This hero feels like SG focused on āRuntā and said āWe can do thatā.
Not only does āBo and Runtā not synergize well with the team, he doesnāt really synergize with himself. Only one minion (a good one, but still, just one) and his conditional improvements depend on his team having minions. The attack buff is also, only for himself and not helping the team. Was thinking that this may have been ok in 2017 but my mind wanders back to Hel, Athena and I realize not even back then.

What is childās name?
B&R
Ok, for now on, his name is B&R
Iām giving you this name in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. #52rarequestesayear
So for now one everyone calls them B&R
I could really use a green project and so Iām very disappointed in this hotm. There so many minion removers, not to mention strong, fast red snipers who can ensure this guy is just mediocre. There are some good suggestions above for improvement, I hope one of them happens.
I see a number of suggestions and I feel like this hero isā¦ close to something. Perhaps if the passive prevented all minion removal? That would be a new and interesting mechanic.
At the moment, the big selling point here will be the HotM raw stats creep. Otherwise, Iād say Eiora & Fluffy (Average sniper, removes minions from one, deals 600%, punishes other minion-ed heroes with max health reduction) looks betterā¦
but, of course
Eiora & Fluffy 4/80 has stats 786/751/1400
Bo & Runt 4/80 listed with stats 1021/887/1528
So maybe Eiora has better Special, but is kinda like a 4* hero by base stats comparisonā¦ and maybe B&R donāt look so bad when you take the base numbers into consideration.
(Yeah, sure, B&R arenāt going to compete with the latest ConstructOwlElfOpera whatever, but thatās arguably not the job of HotM anyway.)
These days, at least for some players, HotM might seem to fill a role of āif you have a roster full of old heroes, you maybe want a bunch of current HotM even with kinda rando Specials, because the stats are getting hilariously better than the 2-3yr old heroes you have built up.ā
Just because he resists minion removal? Silvaria does as well, and she at least adds something to the team. Telluria has the same passive too, by the way.
I said that because Guan Yu gives defense down to those with minions, then Bo brings the pain. Nothing to do with minion removal, because thatās where Liu Bei would greatly benefit Bo. and this makes my Ekanite exchange even better.
He gets 5% per summoned Minion so him being average means nothing and playing him with average minion summoners seems like a bad idea when you can play him with fast/very fast minion summoners who significantly speed him up. Looks like a very cool Hotm.
We were testing dragonspire last beta and they had said during that first phase of testing they planned on going through several more beta releases so they can iron out all issues and release the dragons when they feel its perfectā¦ its going to be several more months i think before we see DoD
If it makes you feel any betterā¦ it feels like you build a team around him for zarga to be goodā¦ but sheās not special enough to warrant building a team around herā¦
