right, but the fact that heās a sniper and not a hit-all or even hit-three (especially at 350%) and at average speed, i think these facets of Russell mitigate the fact that he can gain 50% free mana in two turns or 75% in three. at 75% mana, you only need a single match, and at 50% mana, you need five tiles; a 25% mana boost drops that to four tiles. the fact that heās not super punishing by himself, i think, makes him a good candidate for an innate ability like this one.
i think 5% is a good number for that ability. 10% would definitely be broken, and anything below 3% would be pointless. even with Emilio being a three-turn burn, three turns is an eternity to get hit by opposing defenses, to have enemies buff themselves with further ailment protection or minion shields, to cleanse the burn ailments, to overheal (or cleanse AND overheal in the case of Prof. Lidenbrock), or do a host of other things that can mitigate Russellās ability to gain free mana off burn ticks and risk your offense being killed or timed out.
Nah. Slayers get mana and health every turn by doing nothing. S4 heroes skills are most insane + passive skills.
5% mana only if IN CASE thereās an enemy burning is not that big deal. Frigg and Odin may kill your team in 3 turns even before Russel loads his mana for first time.
tangent: can we please normalize stating how much mana is gained from hero specials and passives? no more of this āsmallā or āmoderateā amount of mana stuff? even saying something like āhalf a tile unitā is so much more helpful than āsmallā or āmoderateā amount of mana because at least we can easily put a number to something like that.
I think the Burn mana bonus could be a significant factor, with the right stack. The Realm bonus isnāt reliable but 25% is still a nice boost. I wonder if there is a reliable stack because 50% would be awesome. I wrote a full review for Russell here. Thank you!
Did enemy have two burns ? As in burn from Asteruis and Emilio stacking .
Or did Emilio burn replace Asteriius corrosive burn (which would be odd cos corrosive burn ranks higher compared to normal burn, and should not be displaced by normal burn ) ?
It actually says āreceive burn damageā so of the opponent receive any time of burn damage, then Russell gets mana gain.
If there is a burn status ailment by Emilio, Azlar, etcā¦ + the Realm effect, then each enemy will get 2 burn damages / turns so Russell get +10% mana gain per each alive enemies.
Itās just double the mana, so was interested. It might have meant, if you got him it was worth trying to get another hero, you otherwise wouldāve ignored -that sort of thing.
What about synergizing with BT for the elemental link Iād probably run him with BT, Wilbur, Anzogh, and [insert x hero] for a fun team. Maybe with cAzlar (a finisher/hit all)
So does he counter C Kadilen or not? I hear from beta testers 2 answers some say it does and some it doesnāt?
Can someone confirm?
Only beta testers reply please
