Giving emblems to Lady Locke

I am choosing her over Natalya.

Nat is fast vs LL’s average speed and Nat’s special is not dispellable where Locke’s is; however, Lady Locke’s special three opponents equally with higher DOT.

The thing that made my decision was Zimkitha. Kitty dispels LL, yes, but she does not show up enough to be an impediment rather than an irritant. When Zim is in the defense, a +0 Nat can handle her. No Zim lets LL at +3 and higher do massive damage.

Have I missed something?

Lady Lockes dot is dispellable. If she casts again before her dots are done it’s over ridden. It takes 4 turns before maximum damage. I like LL but the concern is her dot is dispellable.

Zim is only hero I worry about doing that. At high diamond, few others are seen. That is why Nat is ussd vs Kitty.

I still think that in Sorcerer zone you can pretty much pick anything, there’s no obvious choice.

You can choose Quintus for massive damage.
Natalya for mana control.
Locke for great tile damage.
Mitsuko for obliterate blue opponents.
Thoth for raids and events.
Morgan for raids and wars.

Really, just go with the flow and don’t look back.

I found Locke’s special is fun against an opponent who has Aegir or other spirit links active.

Attack path makes LL’s DoT stronger, right?

Right

Only a concern on defence, really - so few people set a cleanse in their defence that she can run riot there.

Locke is a classic case of a hero that isn’t good in defence but really good in attack.

Indeed.

Plus Locke benefits from a little extra beef that’s inevitable along the emblem path.

Attacking cleansers are gold :slight_smile:

(PS. Remember Zim isn’t the only red attacking cleanser now, but very few people are gonna put GK on defence).

Anybody got a picture of their Lady Locke with emblems? I’m maxing mine now and curious what the DOT becomes if you start bumping up her attack. Thanks!

Bump :slight_smile: increasing GM’s attack by 96 pts only gave me 38 extra burn damage (per target) so I was thinking of going with a balanced or def/health approach to her since she’s a bit fragile. Curious to get opinions though.

So I have one attack node on mine (out of five total) which increased DoT by 16 to 885 from 869 at 4.80. If her DoT increases in equal measure (like JF and other DoT heroes) and you went all sword path with her that would increase her total DoT from 869 to approximately 985-990. I approximate it because the last attack talent node for sorcerer is increase of attck by 24 points as opposed to the previous six attack nodes which all increase attack in increments of 15 points. The last node which bumps attack 24 points would increase the DoT more than 16 but not sure of exact number but it’s close.

I plan on going sword path the whole way with mine as her attack/tile damage is high as is (and I want that to be even higher), but then to top it off with close to 1000 DoT on three enemies each seals the deal for me (and that’s without figuring troop attck into DoT which increases DoT quite a bit as well). I don’t ever intend to use her for def so going aggressive with her and improving what she’s already good at. I am considering pulling some emblems off Morgan Le Fay for Locke but don’t know yet as I really love Morgan too. Her stats in photo reflect one node each for def, hp, and attck. However you go with her @JAWS_3D she will be great imo.

I have seen Lady Locke with high emblems / troop reach 1,300 DoT for 3 enemies and I am astounded at how much damage that is. I have quite a few 5* heroes and I still crave getting Lady Locke for that much damage. Yes, it can be dispelled, but LL is not a defensive hero. She is an offensive hero and when you are on offense it is too easy to neuter an enemy cleanser. I wish I had her so bad. I am currently maxing Natalya to be my Telly counter but damn do I wish I had LL over Natalya.

Here’s mine with a few more emblems… Also along the attacking path :slight_smile:

So, so useful - my favourite green and a beast in attack (I take her with Ratatoskr quite a bit, boost her tiles even more and between them they give heal and cleanse).

I am so jealous! What is her DoT when in battle?

Over 1100 each enemy :slight_smile: (level 15 mana troop)
