šŸ† Hawthorn ā€“ 5* Dark / Purple from Plain Hunters

Personally I never prioritize defensive heroes. I donā€™t get to play with those and once they get replaced on your D, they tend to collect dust.
Butā€¦ offline cupsā€¦
Those are the defense to take note of!
Telluria did that for months.

From a defensive viewpoint, Hawthornā€™s hp/mana boost would be troubling, whereas the reflect is easy enough to deal with. Donā€™t take ailmentsā€¦

I agree with you, looks like they are working at ridding Xnol, and further agree, a buff maybe incoming.
But manā€¦
I wish theyā€™d pick a different colorā€¦
The Dark Reign is pretty ridiculous
How about a Fire mana booster?
These days you have to dig in the dirt and look for Red tank fossils.
Give it a passive that has 40% def against ice and equivalent squidface mana boost.
Problem solved :joy:

Been raiding with Hawthorn for fun and heā€™s definitely quite strong. Though Iā€™m not sure how heā€™ll do on tank given you can simply dispel his special. Iā€™m still going to test him out in war once I get him maxed.

But otherwise, damn. My measly 4K TP beating 4800+ is quite ridiculous. I blacked out their names out of respect lol. Safe to say I wonā€™t be able to beat the top teams with thisā€¦

Or can Iā€¦? :crazy_face:

Update to my crazy attempt at a top team! Hawthorn was the real MVP. Heā€™s just wildly good on offense.

Just to clarify, unfortunately, Hawthorn reflect ability doesnā€™t reflect status ailments caused by Fiends.

Updated: Hawthorn reflects status ailments from minions. e.x. he completely neuters Bera.

Not covered yet though! At this stage itā€™s been reported that S5 passive ailments arenā€™t being reflected but itā€™s currently under investigation :sweat_smile:

How is it not, itā€™s a status ailment. Itā€™s a bug anyways if it doesnā€™t reflect the S5 passive ailments

hawthorn s5 reflects passive annoyances. Iā€™ve had a few tries with this and it reflects passive annoyances.

Just sharing his LB stats for anyone who is curious! This isnā€™t mine, I found him in a top 100 defense team :slight_smile:

So was blessed enough to pull Hawthorn and also just pulled Diaochan, unfortunately only have enough to to do one or the other, thoughts?

Thatā€™s tricky as they are both great heroes, I personally feel like Diaochan is a good contender if you have other W3K heroes for the family bonus and/or if you need minion makers in your team - otherwise Hawthorn wins it for me.

1 Vs 1 diaochan has the complete advantage. But Hawthorn is very good with his support. I would say hawthorn, as long as he isnā€™t fighting diaochan

Hawthorn for sure 20 characters

Hereā€™s Hawthorn VS Bera:

As you can see, all poison and minion prevention debuffs were reflected back to the enemy. This completely neuters Bera. Edit: it completely turns Bera against her own team.

This guy is also pretty much lady Loki on steroids

Be happy he didnā€™t had Nemesis in his team, that would partially neutralize your Hawthorn, your while team would take damage because of the mana they get every turn. At least as I understand Nemesis.

Happy gaming
