His allies donāt get taunt. Only the Black Knight gets taunt. This is what Tauntās buff looks like:
Black Knight buffs his allies with a berserk attack buff The same as Brienne, Namahage, and Khionaās buff. Thatās what isnāt dispelled, even from his nearby allies if taunt was active
Correct, as no one else besides him ever had tauntā¦ however, the other heroes will still have the attack up but thatās expected with kage, less expected with a target 3 dispeller, but it works the same as Queen with a minion, no one else is hit / dispelled if taunt is active.
Oh! I am mixing him again with QoH whose minions give taunt to allies. Imagine if he gives taunt to all allies just as how QoHās minions give taunt to its owner
If QoH fires first then BKās taunt doesnāt matter because the minion takes over. However, if the minion dies on the first turn does BKās taunt stay? Hmmā¦
Mad Hatterās skill only works against Black Knight if Taunt is active. However! That also means he steals Taunt! So it kinda sucks in the sense that Hatter canāt steal all the other berserk attack buffs if Taunt is active, but itās kinda neat thatā¦ Taunt can be stolen!
B. Knight is close with Queen of Hearts in the sense they both get Taunt, but the way you deal with them is completely different
Positive on this? I donāt see any reason why hatter wouldnāt steal all effects as his steal isnāt subject to who he hits and all of these effects are dispellable. He would only hit BK, butā¦ I could see him stealing everything, including taunt. (could be missing something here).
Well I donāt have Hatter, but his ābuff stealā part of his skill works like a dispel. The reasoning behind this is pretty well founded, because he canāt steal anything that is marked as undispellable (including the attack buff in wars). Margaret herself actually resists Hatterās steal
So based on that:
Taunt from B.K. protects allies from special skills, including dispels
Taunt from B.K. can be dispelled though
Mad Hatter must be able to steal Taunt, but based on Tauntās protection it would only steal buffs from B.K.
Thatās my reasoning anyways. Iād be surprised if thereās a special rule on Mad Hatterās skill that lets him ignore Taunt
I guess my understanding of taunt was a bit more linear, assumed it only stopped other heroes from being targeted (which for most dispellers is enoughā¦ but Hatter works differently) ā¦ interested to hear more on this from anyone that happens to use Hatter on BK in the event. (If I donāt see anything from anyone else, after I complete legend, Iāll bring my 3/70 hatter in for a test).
The one hero that most interested me of the new heroes was Black Knight after I read someoneās comment about his deadly pairing with Aegir. The attack buff only lasts three turns but should easily make the slash attacks vicious (20% boost for each hit, the spirit link means any hit on any hero triggers a 20% for each hero. This also means the healing from Aegir should be phenomenal (or much, much better than under normal circumstances). BK is also the ārightā element for this tank/flank pairing.
The taunt almost makes this OP in that specials wonāt be able to target the tank while BKās taunt is active (I am assuming that Aegir tanks, as that maximizes the elemental benefits if someone were to stack against the tank). As said above, Debuffers are going to be key against BK.
Add GM to the mix and the enemy must also have a cleanser or burn to death.
Not sure an additional healer helps because that exacerbates the one glaring weakness, neither Aegir nor BK deal direct damage via specials nor pose a menace on tiles or slash attack so a healer means the last two much be very special indeed.
I feel he could be quite deadly with a Kunchen tank as wellā¦ anything that brings defense down with him in the mix is going to be pretty dangerous Iād assumeā¦ Defensively he makes sense to me for sureā¦ offensively Iām still a bit unsure but would love to hear from folks.
Now having Aegir and Kunchen (so not chasing after Guin), Frida (not chasing Arthur) and maxed Morgan (not chasing Morgan), he is the only reason for me to pull on Avalon. Great defense red, which I unfortunately lack. I will likely never get him, same as I never got Guin when I needed her. Love his special though.
Aegir tank, BK flank. This way BK can protect against specials and Aegir protects against tiles. Itās also better colour-wise. I fthey stack green against Aegir they wonāt do much damage vs BK
I think heās too powerful, and if youāre not a āpay to winā gamer, then you will have like 0.1% chance to get him, I think itās not fair against the free to play playersā¦
1500 HP paired with that talent and armorā¦ Too OP, or maybe Iām just wrong
Heās definitely very powerful, and aside from defense heās also very good for offense, mainly for the attack boost. Youāre not wrong.
Itās also worth noting that trainable options like Sonya and Richard exist to deal with him as a tank though. Firing them in that order would let you dispel taunt and then overwrite the Berserk buff with atk- on two of his allies.
