Winifred is standing tall laughing at Khufu crying in the corner !!! What a joke !!! Hence why all the Khufu haters said he needed to give EDD to ‘ALL HIT ENEMIES’ & what do SG do, release a paywall hero that is what Khufu was supposed to be !!! Not only does her ailments affect ALL HIT ENEMIES but she has 2 of them !!! TBH, have we come to expect any less of SG nowadays !!!
Winifred does minor damage and provides different status effects. Two different heroes who do different but similar things.
Lianna v marjana v sartana v magni is similar. All are fast snipers. All come with a different secondary effect (with Lianna having none)
Sorry my bad. Didn’t read it properly myself !!! Even so !!! The fact that all hit enemies get both of the ailments is soo annoying !!! Especially when 1 of the ailments is immunity to new buffs !!! Huge ailment !!
Who cares. In some weeks we’ll have a fast hero doing much more than that in a lower odd portal.
You can get into the top 100 with a combined 3*/4* team or a rainbow team of slow older HOTMs for the most part. So to say one of the most powerful heroes in the game is out of date is ridiculous and laughable. Newer heroes will come out, some will be stronger, there will always be power creep. But a decent new hero will be usable and useful for many years as long as you don’t have the attitude that you can’t win without the latest and greatest.
Specifically in regards to Khufu vs Winifred: Both are super powerful (OP) and I would lover to have either one. Khufu is more powerful in defenses whereas Winifred is probably more useful in offense. A special from Khufu is often enough to devastate you to the point where there is no recovery. Winifred won’t do that to you - a cleanser/healer like Ariel will basically negate her entire special. On offense however you can make great use of those secondary abilities.
Interesting challenge, start at ~2500/2600 cups, use a 3*/4* team, get into the top 100.
There would be some cases where I’d say, “well, if you reroll enough, go through stacks of raid potions, etc”, but not on this one.
As for the OP, who cares. Winifred is laughing at Khufu who’s laughing at Octros, who’s laughing at Elizabeth, who’s laughing at Anzogh, who’s laughing at Elena. In 3 to 6 months there’ll be a new hero laughing at Winifred.
I’ve done it a few times. Top 8 is my best, after that it has proven too difficult for me to advance.
Takes about 2 raid flasks. I reroll teams that are too aggressive - passive or semi-passive tank(s) teams are usually OK regardless of TP and flanking and wing heroes
And to clarify tree is the only 3*. Rest are 4*
Here’s the team he uses:
Here’s a vid for it:
You don’t have to watch long to get the gist.
First match treeevil dies and he loses.
2nd match treevil fires and he wins.
And so on.
Treevil… the 3*
completely neuters ANY team it fires on.
after Archaic Dread you could use 2* tile damage to finish the job.
You know… after rerolling enough
There’s plenty more treevil content out there.
I have some of my own demonstrating treevil’s effect on your supply of fresh blood.
As far as the topic…
I think a deeper look at costumes would shed some light. Turning them loose from the chamber means you can ramp-up creep production.
When Winifred gets laughed at, they can release her a costume. No more troublesome Balance Updates unless a new portal is financially underperforming.
The “net” result is a whole lotta laughter!
Another thing you can monitor, is how fast the costumes come. Within a year?
Crampus was exactly 1 year, His 2nd showing.
The effect isn’t complicated. Of course, creep usage will get shorter and shorter…
Does that sound exhausting?
How about…
E X P E N S I V E
I have Khufu maxed out and partially emblemed. He is a game changer on Offense too. I’ve not seen Winifred yet so I cannot speak to that hero but with the right team and troops I can usually get him off twice in a raid, usually the first one before the tank dies. I have lost with him on both offense and defense though so he’s no superhero either. Of course I am getting challenged a lot less in raids these days.
This year, most heroes released are outdated soon after. I understand the frustration. What I find helps is just hovering around 1800 cups to avoid all the overpowered heroes that just got released yesterday. But I know that’s not for everyone of course.
Still though - Khufu is still miles better than Marjana at least.
It’s always best to avoid comparison. But if you most compare, compare with older heroes, not newer. New heroes have to be more desirable than old, to keep the enormous amount of money flowing in.
Nope, khufu is so much more powerful than Winifred. Why bother with attack down and buff inhibition when khufu can just nuke anything in his path. And also 70% of the time he can deal 520% to all, with additional sand damage.
I am a little confused by your post…
This seems to indicate you spend quite some money on this game because from an ftp point of view ( mine ) this seems not to be true.
To me this seems to be wrong ( I never liked cup droping although I can understand why it is done ) because this way it takes a lot longer for you to learn how to fight and sometimes win against these overpowered new heros.
Just my opinion because at the end of the day you play the game to have fun and if this the best way for you I hope you enjoy the game for a long time to come.
Hm, you’ll excuse me if I live up to my screen name a bit, but my two most powerful red heroes are Gravemaker (without costume) and Khagan (with costume), but sure, please, go on about how Khufu is even slightly out of date.
I faced this team this morning
I had no chance
They heal superfast
They hit so hard
And mana generation is like a blink
The bard family bonus uppon the pie
And yet you find some people saying the game isnt pay to win lol
Name me one player who reached the 1st place in tourneys/events/raid and wasnt a whale?
0 niet nada niente none
Yeh right
If you understand how Bard mana works, your story would sound different.
Happy gaming
I didnt really get the chance to fully understand it tbh lol
I died so fast and got a crappy board
But you seem upset i complained about them i think
If it makes you feel better i found the bard family very weak and the game is so free to play friendly and the developpers dont give a dang about money not a once
Happy?
Jeez!
I do not spend on the game, no - that’s why I’m still in the 1800 range probably. Most of my heroes are still 4 *s. I can reach the Diamond league, but it’s just not fun. There is a limit on how underpowered I wish to be in a game.
But even so, I can still observe from a distance and see the recent releases and changes to the game.
What I mean when I say that heroes are outdated as soon as they are released is, that heroes we see released today are beat by heroes released tomorrow. Up there, that is. Not down where I am, of course.
But the power creep is happening. It’s just how the game works in order to generate the biggest income for the 30 people that work on E & P. (And others, of course)
However, yes, some heroes released remain relevant for a long time, since they fill a void, so to say. Like Sergei - or heroes with very unique abilities that boosts ones entire team, like Xnol…(oh, can’t even spell his name )
Not every hero loses their glitter and glamor. Some age well, fortunately Others, not so much.
Each portal has those golden heroes worth chasing for, for maximum gain to the gaming companies behind such gacha mechanics.
And some of us are content with just being where we are, not willing to participate in the gambling.
You too - Have fun
Even if you have 2 exact same heroes who have the same or similar powers and abilities, maybe different elements, and different seasons or events… i may get the one from one season and not the other, as I have better luck in some portals than I do in others… so who cares anyway if some are similar. I am all for it
Khufu is out of date? Having a hero who may be slightly better than him (which I don’t think is the case) doesn’t make him out of date. I get complaining about some stuff in the game but this specific complaint is just bizarre and incorrect
I fought vs Winifred at 3.70 and at this lvl she do her job. I have good rosters and Khufu. When Winifred used her spell my team was devastated.
But do not cry. They SG, Zynga, Take 2 do her bussines job. They want earn the money and that is all. In the next months Winifred will be cry in the corner. I do not care.
