(Update Note:As of February 21, 2019, various members of the 7d family have taken over maintaining this wonderful sheet Anchor created.)
Seven Days Departed Leader, @Anchor, crunches insane amount of data to give us full hero grades for raid offense, defense, and Titans in Empires and Puzzles:
Been reading the forum for months but actually signed up to the forum purely to post a comment to say thanks! Serious effort went into this! I’ll def be using the spreadsheet.
At the same time…in true forum style…how could I not moan about something…
I think Thoth deserves an A for defensive raids (I very obviously have him)
Thanks for all the effort that went into this. You did a great job. Unfortunately, for most of us, we are stuck with whatever random hero that shows up on our doorstep. Picking and choosing isn’t possible. Still, hope is nice.
One minor correction - tile damage for Vivica is B (attack power 714) and Leonidas is C (attack power 731). I know poor Leonidas gets a lot of hate but I like him
This may be beyond the scope of the spreadsheet, but it would help to have a grade for how useful the hero is at level 70, since many 5* stay un-ascended for many months
Very interesting purple ranks. I’ve never had the chance to play with Hel, but I’ve always ranked her as the best purple and sad to see Panther wasn’t an A+ (mah favorite). All and all very in depth and we’ll done. Keep the good stuff coming and I’m sure this is gonna help lots of newbies and vets for a long time to come.
Very clear and easy to understand, a great work that probably all people must read at least once.
New players can benefit the most out of this, and i really wished that was something like this some months ago.
I only see a defect: it not gives rating from events.
Some heroes probably get a better score (like Grimm, Little John or Quintus) taking that in consideration.
Hm I assumed Google Spreadsheets would be built-in responsive design Rook, but I did freeze that first column on the left which could be causing the issue. They are repeated on the far right as well, so hopefully that helps a little bit - I can’t really change the underlying mechanics of the thing unfortunately
Tremendous work here; many thanks! It confirms my thinking that my Peters needs to get underway, and that Merlin was a keeper out of this event (particularly with an eye towards the rerun of Guardians of Telok).
I agree with an earlier point that an assessment of event effectiveness would be a useful dimension. The mana control heroes, e.g. LJ, LX and Chao, shine brighter (if perhaps still not brightly) in dealing with the event bosses. Mana speed is less important because of the charge time with the minions.
I appreciate that there is some subjectivity here, but I do think you could have used some more pluses and minuses to add some texture. For example, you give a well-deserved C to both Elkanen and Kadilen, but looking across the detailed ratings, perhaps Elkanen merits a C+?
This should go without saying, but players need to consider the team interactions when assembling a good team, not just the individual scores of their heroes.
