🏰 Ferant – 4* Fire / Red from Clash of Knights

[sleepyhead]

yup, thanks I’ve already earmarked my stash of Druid emblems for Ferant to bring him to +20 - this way, I can save my level 23 mana troop for someone else (though the choices are Zagrog and Russell, so… Zagrog hits pretty decently at least!)

[sleepyhead]

Just emblemed and LBed today. Already super pleased. That mana cut helps, and a great way to use enemy minions against them.

Won this one even with a bad starting board and Mother North reviving the middle 3 once. Ferant’s special helped ensure the enemy heroes didn’t fire all at once.

Thanks to all who gave tips on using him - really happy!

[Gwniver]

Niiiice red team you got there

[sleepyhead]

Thank you I’m happy with it

Just thinking about your troops: If you have a lvl 1 mana troop somewhere, that would be enough for Boldtusk, Ferant only needs the lvl 11 for both to get to 9 tiles. That would leave the 23 free for somebody else to speed up

[sleepyhead]

thanks, is that true though? my Ferant does not have his mana node activated, so I think he still needs the level 23 mana troop?

[Gargon]

Definitely needs mana node for lvl 11 troop, sorry, same with Boldtusk.

[sleepyhead]

thanks and no worries, appreciate it thank for helping me optimize my team.

I’ve now activated the mana node for Ferant, so I can give him a level 11 troop and save the Level 23 for someone else, like Zagrog

• The caster and nearby allies decrease -10% mana from the attacker on each counterattack for 5 turns. The effect gets diminished for consecutive activations during the same turn.

I just found that the mana cut will gone after 5 counterattack per each buff in each hero (reset every turn).

I think the mana cut is 10% → 8% → 6% → 4% → 2% → 0%(no mana cut).

The old mana cut before nerf might be 10% → 9% → 8% → … → 2% → 1% → 0%.

@u2371

In 5th, I have opportunity to see Ferant vs minion. Ferant is only enemy left. Minion can trigger Ferant’s mana cut buff. I found that the Ferant’s mana cut buff will mana cut one 5 first counter attack. The minion hit after that get only counter attack but no mana cut. I think the mana cut is 10% → 8% → 6% → 4% → 2% → 0%(no mana cut).

Sadly, I don’t have a video. It will be great if someone make a video.

[BlackZed]

Interesting info. Thank you for this.

[sleepyhead]

Well, I pulled the trigger on him as I use hi. A lot in both PvE and PvP!

[Sternman]

2k HP! A real attack stat…monster! Congrats

[sleepyhead]

Thank you looking forward to using him in the upcoming Tower events

[Brummelbaer]

Have you used him in your Def since then and if so, what are your thoughts? I’m thinking about LB2 him to use him in my Def together with Ludwig.

[sleepyhead]

hey! I haven’t used him n my normal defense much, only in 4* tourney defense. mainly because I tank with Bera, and usually flank with a Yellow and C-Krampus, so there’s no place for a Ferant flank anymore.

I have LB2-ed him though for offense, and here’s his card:

his aether power is a great fit too!

[Shades]

What do you think, is Ferant still good and worth LB? Does his mana cut also work when he gets tile damage?

[sleepyhead]

his mana cut works even against slash damage, for sure.

depends who else you got, for me I still use him a lot (though he does not always make my first Red stack, but he still sees tons of use)
