🧪 Early Information on the September 2019 HOTM (Grazul, formerly Nadnog)

[Keisuk3honda]

Yes, that seems to be a good strategy, I mean to throw everything at the center (in case he’s tank) to load the fast snipers. A blue fast dispeller (who could be called Sonya) could be of much help

[HeWillFindUs]

I may be off, but I believe Nadnog is a lady orc.

[zephyr1]

Yep.

[Sternman]

Oops, hope SHE isn’t mad at me and still joins my team later this year!

[FrenziedEye]

I was dreaming of a very fast healer with small healing the other day, I’m glad it’s coming and hope I pull her…

[FrenziedEye]

It’s going to be a struggle amassing 2500 gems in 2.5 months though as a FTP, so I might need to rely on eht

[Sternman]

Painful, no special even in September so just elemental pulls…that is dedication

[Texas1970]

Yeah one or two heals getting off might but all you need in raids to win.

[Merry_me]

I’m starting to get interested in this hero because the game loves to give me mystic rings (where’s my telescope ).
any news?

[zephyr1]

Nothing new to report. The new HOTM aren’t currently being tested in Beta.

[Mr_Style_Points]

What was the beta consensus? My suspicion was that 10% might be just a smidge too low on offense, but I’m curious how it played in reality.

[zephyr1]

There were a fair number of suggestions for increasing the percentage a bit, but the opinions on whether that was needed or how much to adjust it were a bit mixed.

[Scarecrow]

Don’t need increasing; he’s very fast. Put him tank at war, with a Triton lvl18 left flank. Good luck in defeating such team. Perhaps 1-3 attacks may succed, while still u have the blues. Has great defense for any other colour. And being very fast, he will keep it. If Triton activates, u may chose flee already

BTW, my Triton stats at lvl 18: Attack 846, Defense 655, HP 1121. A hero like Nadnog completes him. True love unbeatable story… +49% healing, and that without the percent given by the troops. And very fast… Jesus…

[Bruno82]

Her.

“Put him tank at war, with a Triton lvl18 left flank.”

[Scarecrow]

Is a she? Didn’t know. Ty

[DaveCozy]

There’s others who want more? I think that very fast 10% healing sounds fine… lol. Anything more may be broken and overwhelming.

I’m glad opinions were mixed.

[Mr_Style_Points]

I think Nog will indisputably not be a tank. You’re welcome to try, but a tank with just pure heal and no pressure applied to the offense is objectively bad and will serve as a tile repository while opponents charge specials.

[Mr_Style_Points]

I had guessed that might be the case. We had theorycrafted fun hero specials in my previous alliance, and I think the heal number we had floated was about 15% with a moderate or situational secondary (which I consider blocking status ailments to be) or 10% with a stronger secondary effect (e.g. Def up 25% or additional heal over time). 10% without a better secondary effect just didn’t sound like enough, as that works out to like 150ish HP for most heroes on attack

[Olmor]

Let’s start a thread to buff Naddy.

[Mr_Style_Points]

Yeah, you’re right. They shouldn’t ever adjust heroes from beta. That’s not what a beta is for. A beta is just intended as an advance showcase of the new HotM as is for an elite select few.
