Poll

• I think Dreadstar is reasonably well-balanced overall
• I think Dreadstar is excessively weak, and needs a buff (increase of their strength)
• I think Dreadstar is excessively strong, and needs a nerf (decrease of their strength)
• I’m not sure yet

---

Discussion

• If you think Dreadstar is well-balanced, too strong, or too weak — why?

• Are there specific, concrete suggestions you’d make to the game designers to alter Dreadstar ? Or are there specific reasons you think they should remain unchanged?

Purpose of this thread:

To provide an aggregate place for the topic here on the forum; thus preventing there being a million threads popping up. And to provide an actual set of impartial votes rather than a Ideas & Feature Requests which has no real voting.

In short, to neaten the forum and to give players and outlet for their thoughts on his balance without bogging down the rest of the forum or the other Dreadstar thread.

I like her, but in my opinion she’s a little bit to weak.

With lb2 and a 5* troop she deals 750 damage. (Compared to pophit)

She’s also easily to handle with a hero like phorcys.

Her specials are also easy to remove (when got impact from her)

For a beautiful queen from a portal such like that… with average mana speed?

Whomever thinks that this particular hero is weak needs to stop spending on this game.

That would be me!

Again:
even thinking that a hero is “excessively weak” =/= thinking that the hero needs a buff AND thinking that a hero is “excessively strong” =/= thinking that the hero needs a nerf. Sometimes that’s what you get.

We all get pulls and, if we are pulling over time, we will get some weaker heroes and some stronger heroes.

It is also unfair for a player who has invested saved/bought gems
or tokens for chances to get a new featured hero who was known to be better than heroes who had come before, to go into raids with the hero they had invested in and to face heroes who may have been buffed.

I’ll start by saying she’s not weak or under talented. I think she’s effective in what she’s designed to do. The issue I have with her is in the balance of her stats in the existing meta. Hard to find the ideal compromise under sorcerer class as she needs a significant health buff. Probably going to reset her but I’ll wait to see if they apply any buff updates to her first

[13thWarrior]

I really wish we had the ability to reset our lb2 heroes to reallocate if we desire. But alas, I know they don’t want us to be able to do this for monetary reasons….

[Echo11]

Make them legendary loot like tomes or add them to one of their summons portals like that awful ascension summon

[Jesse1992]

I think that its clear enough if i see the stats as expected
