Quite a few people have said they wouldnāt max him if they got him, which I donāt understand. I think heās going to be very good.

I agree with you. Very fast heroes go off so often and its pretty common for my Gravemaker to fire at LEAST 3 times in a battle. El Duques decent hit plus the defense down stacks look great to me. I think hes definitely more of an attack/titan hero, but thats just fine with me.
I got him on a single pull. So he is in my lucky hero category. Although he only has one round of stoneshield, it is still going to make up for his relatively week defense. In addition, his DD will stack with normal DD which is more than 8% on the paper. Great titan hero for sure. Very good offense hero in my opinion. I am definitely leveling him up and emblem as much as I can and decide if he is deserve LB later.

Iāve got him today as well, was in the process of getting Baldur maxed; can LB +20 either of them, but I think for now will continue with Baldur. Have Malosi LB+20 with similar hit damadge, only use him in offense mono.

I think someone should try this
- -80% Def from 10 stack of El Duque skill
- -70% Def from the maximum of Guan Yu ailment
- -48% Def from 3th turn of Asterius ailment
And see how much Def the target have left 
Anyone have an attack path yet to show?
@u2371 In raids, that may not be possible, but on stages that have high health bosses, it could work

i got him & maxed him out but i duno how useful he is. looks pale compared to the unreleased Hohenwerf. how to tell how many stacks he has reached? I dun see like a no. 10 on his mana bar so i duno when to fire him maxed out
The stacks can be seen on his targets after he cast his move, every hero he hits will gain a stack.
oh so the stack figures are shown on the targets then. i seeā¦ thanks much 
I canāt be the only one thinking very fast stoneskin with maxed Ninja troop on attack path and Limit Break might be extreme sports here! Some of these heros seem designed for top tier levels and troop stacks. Yowza!

I donāt rate him very highly because I donāt place much value on stacking debuffs. The problem with those are they are not useful in most raid fights. A hero goes off once, maybe twice, and thatās it. They need to something significant in that special and requiring you to fire a special repeatedly to get something worthwhile means that is irrelevant in most raid fights.
Maybe for farming or titans or challenges heās good. But for raids, I wouldnāt put resources into leveling him.

Heās pretty much meant for mythic only
He was in the opposite in my last match and he was able to put 2 stacks (-16%) in my heroes.
Gazelle couldnāt cleanse it
So I carried the def down until the end of the match.
I managed to get the win but it was a close call

Is EL Duque worth of emblem & LB? If so, which talent path is best for him if I want to use him on my defense team.
Personally, I am leaning towards balance path but I saw many with attack path, any thoughts?
Thanks
Very fast Hero; I went attack Path.
I run her combo with other VF heroes.
Happy gaming
I went balance, but attack probably isnāt bad either. I put him at tank with different formations, and the best was reverse. However, now iām running back with Hulda as tank on my defense and him in right flank. I think I will go back to him as tank as reverse because that has yielded the best results. Fires very fast and if he keeps firing heāll keep getting stoneskin.
Full attack. His main assets are his speed and punching power. If given a chance to ghost tiles he can punch many times.

I have seen several top 100 players use him on defense. Red is my weakest color especially on defense. I am thinking of pairing him with Milena because Milenaās very fast heal/cleanse will help his survivability. Any comment?
