FROM OUT of the DaRkNeSs & INTO the LIGHT!

You screamed - I answered…
Hero “Special Skills” are back with a Vengeance!
Clear as Day, no more single Card pop ups in another WinDow so you can truly make it out!

Yes RaZoR’s EDge! Is here to stay.

FAMILY LINK IDENTIFICATION (EXCERPT)

Note: The Hero Utility was developed to be used ideally on a PC while you are playing the game! I have done my best to make it Browser and SmartPhone friendly. The format adopted from the DaRk VeRsIoN should allow you to flip your phone sideways and get a full view (zoom and scroll with your fingers).

RaZoR's EDge

RaZoR’s EDge is 1 of the 4 methods the Hero Utility provides it’s users to evaluate Hero’s with the primary goal to assist the user in decision support. I know from my travels in the E&P universe that there are many of us that take time to use mathematics/statistics to attempt to better understand our Heroes performance capabilities - in particular between Heroes. Thus the reason I’m breaking this particular method out into it’s own thread for discussion. My hope is that it will be positively…

Many thanks! Bookmarked!

[Wharflord]

Very cool! I’d be interested to know how you calculate the GPA, but I can tell that the grades are from our 7DD guide

[Razor]

You can click on the link once it displays your results ‘Grading Scale’ and it clearly defines it (well I hope it does lol)

[Razor]

Your welcome! It was very exciting to put it together, more so to see the results

[Razor]

There is also the ‘latest report’ link that gives detailed information on the defensive statistics. It includes some great information not found in the card based results.

[Kerridoc]

Interesting tool; thanks, @Razor . One caution I’d place: some of the best defensive heroes (Hel, Alberich, Ares) are also old HotM. A relatively small fraction of the player base has them, so I’m not sure how much confidence I’d place in relative frequency of these heroes in the top 100 teams. The flip of this problem will occur when a new hero is released–say, Aegir in October. Even if it turns out that Aegir is the new meta-defining defensive tank (which is a distinct possibility), his appearance in top defenses will be delayed for most players by the need to train him up.

million thanks Razor ! so does it mean it’ll replace the tables/guides put up by 7dd previously from their website?

[Razor]

Certainly NOT! Anchor and the fellas at 7DD keep a live document - they make changes real-time and when you pull up that document, you know it’s up to date. The last time I sync with them will always be posted. I don’t think there are a ton of changes in-between my data pulls (and I document those that there are) but theirs is still the best Source for Up to the minute Hero Grading.

[Razor]

Totally hear you loud and clear and great fricken points @Kerridoc. I will be putting together a FAQ document and be addressing this and many other questions. Understand that data collection has just recently started - over time I will make adjustments. I have a lot of ideas and what I want most is to be as accurate as possible. One of the great things about the top 100 - there are 2 kinds of people in that group - players from the start and those that bounce in a couple times a month. The first group tend to have some way of leveling new heroes up within a couple days of release and test them… and if they are great in Defense - they stay, if their not they go. And this same group has all the HOTM (or most of them). Like me I started when Hel was released and she is one of my favorites - she just isn’t defensively the best fit into the top 5 combo of current I suppose (she is pretty solid in all 3 roles - Rear/Flank and Center). Well thanks for the feedback and trust me I will address your points as time goes on and data collection continues.

Last point, if a new hero starts showing up in the - CURRENT DEFENSIVE - then that means they are growing in popularity - so you will be able to see when this starts to happen. It will even out over-time. Again, I’m going to do my best to address. Thanks buddy.

[Kerridoc]

The first group tend to have some way of leveling new heroes up within a couple days of release and test them… and if they are great in Defense - they stay, if their not they go.

1. Players with deep rosters just build up feedstock in the TCs, rather than training lesser heroes during the month. Then when a new HotM or Event hero is released, they can pull out all those feeders and power-level them up. They may even be running one camp at TC20 to stockpile food.

2. By and large the top players are also in beta, giving them the opportunity to test lineups in advance. I think you’ll see some new heroes show up early in defensive squads not because they’re great in defense but because the player wanted to flaunt the new 4/80 hero (or, more kindly, to confirm impressions from beta).

[Razor]

@Kerridoc thanks for the feedback! That makes a lot of sense! Are you potentially one of the players in 1. or 2.? Awesome to get a beta opportunity. Love this game! Much appreciated. Raz

[Kerridoc]

I’m definitely in #2. I’m just doing my last crop of 4* heroes, but I hope to have some new heroes from Season 2 in the next 48 hours.

[Razor]

That is great Kerridoc! Ok, 48 hours - you will do it! Really cool that your in the beta!

Heads up on a new mod for the Hero Utility!

Unique look @ Top 100 Defensive Hero Usage now Available!

@LucasDaoc, @Oblivion, @Mananabas, @Kelz I’m writing a routine that is going to basically give every character a ranking that appeared in the import - Limiting it the TOP 5 for current import and TOP 10 for Cumulative - well it kinda sucks pulling up your heroes and they have a couple appearances, but no idea how it compares… So I changed my mind - everyone that showed up 1 or more times is going to get a ranking… Even if its #40 at least its a better indicator than showing 1 appearance. Th…

[Kerridoc]

91 pulls later, I have none of the new 5*, nor Drake, nor Hel. Of the other heroes, I’m still missing Wilbur.

[tsoukalos]

sorry if am slow. couple questions.

wat’s the diff between current & cumulative defense? & what’s totappear?

[Razor]

Ah man @Kerridoc that flat out bites it. Sorry man. Ok so you didn’t pick up any of the big guns, however, some of those 4*'s from Atlantis I’ve heard are really powerful?
