Jean-François – 5* Fire/ Red - February 2020 HOTM (Hero of the Month)

That is if you took zero troops. Try level 23 mana troop.

Yeah, at times I found JF to not give me any problems during raid at all. But there’s time he’s causing wrecking havoc to my team. All depending on your heroes that you’ve got as I’ve mentioned earlier.

Like I said, JF as standalone nothing to be excited at.

Try taking a lv30 mana troop, the result wouldn’t still be good enough to justify going the attack route.

So 500+ DoT over 2 turn still isn’t enough? Okay

You clearly aren’t thinking that not going to embleming him on attack would make him deal 0 damage, right?

500 damage isn’t low, it’s the amount of increased damage from emblems that is low.

oh the big mount now push all the faults to SGG :yum:

How about this setup:
Sniper - G Kong - Telluria - Vela - Sniper

Better or worse than above?

Not exactly a fan of G. Kong, underwhelming really… That’s just my opinion though, although he makes it up for being average mana compared to Azlar.

JF being fast; that means within 2 turn the enemy is depleted by 300 HP (or more depending on emblem and troop). It’s not easy to counter this as 2 turn is really a short window for enemy to cleanse (I’ve faced this problem. Not always, but definitely a consideration)

Yes, imagine his ability automatically recast itself as soon as it expires for a second Jean special at zero additional mana cost.

Yeah, 2 turns is fair for a v.fast hero, fast needs to have 3 turns, and if it was avg/slow, 4 turns would be ok too.

I let him fire off and bear the full burn of all turns… not much damage done anyway. Nothing that any healer won’t fix. Even Grazul healing level patch that up pretty quickly.
Proteus level type of damage simply doesn’t deal enough damage to be a threat.
The lack of initial damage really looks lame to the attacker. A simple cleanse negate his special to nothing.

my question is “Better or worse than above?”

If I have to pick? Worse.

vela is unquestionably great, i tried for her to the point i can’t anymore within my budget and she avoided me. then JF showed up twice without spending and i am barely convinced to max him even with 12 spare rings

great advice, thanks!

Sure, but many people have cleansers or healers which would mitigate that damage. That is why 4 turns isn’t that big a deal, if it can be cleansed within the first 2 turns.
