:speaking_head: Discussion

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

  • Are there specific, concrete suggestions you’d make to the game designers to alter Guffa ? 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 Guffa thread.

I have him and I thought he will be great in my D team but actually he’s just too slow for a taunter. It’s too easy to kill him before he fire for the first time. Comparing to Mena or Pophit he’s a joke.

I’d like to see some metrics from the game devs about this guy’s usage. He really doesn’t do much and is too slow.

Just too slow. Weakest of all the softskins. No use to counter insanity in new War mode. And why no taunt at LB2?

His construction is just off. Brand new and he can’t hang in the end game? No point in releasing him then.

I agree with the others. He’d be viable if he wasn’t so slow.

Diaagree with most of the comments. In attack he is one of the very best taunters, able to absorb more hits from meta heroes than any other taunter in most scenarios. The heal is useful particularly if you can get 9 tiles early.

A shame he doesnt have pre-taunt, that would have been nice.

In defense decent if not great
