well well well… at least it will help S1 heroes a bit… especially for those of us with limited rosters that mainly have S1s… some incentive to use more emblems on them! (looks at my 600+ sorcerer emblems)

Is this for all S1 heroes, or only 5* S1 heroes?

it should be for all 3* 4* and 5* who are S1

It is for every Season 1 hero and costume, including secondary costumes too.

I welcome this change, absolutely. Just a bit afraid of it too, as it makes heroes like C-Kadilen (and other strong costumes) even scarier to face :scream:

Nice… So my Vivica C2 will get +35% chance to revive, with 50% additional mana… This could really become a real game changer if she was already around 50% charged…

S1 heroes will kinda have some love until some whales complain that poor people are having more fun than usual and devs make these super duper talents for all heroes starting with events heroes right after s1

C Kad is now 45% chance to dodge.

If the Superior Talent kicks in : +35% chance of remaining 55% => +19% => adjusted total 64%. :flushed:

I hope my math is wrong. Will wait for someone to correct me. :joy::rofl:

Is there a list anywhere of all S1 heroes?
Just makes it easier to look at if there is a list to see rather than trying to find them in the roster.

If you want I can add a list of Season 1 heroes by class to the OP.

@notyou87 @PlayForFun this might be helpful, it already includes the original S1 costumes too

@sleepyhead
Thx. I have added the list of Season 1 heroes by class anyway so that we can review them easily.
My list includes secondary costumes too.

Everyone please let me know if I miss some hero or something is in the wrong class.

Thx, I have added this, and gone over the list.
There were several missing 3 star costumes, and 1-2 from 4 and 5 star costumes.

I hope the list is final (until new secondary costumes are released)

Thanks for the list! Who are you all excited about?

For me, my ccKhagan, who already has almost 2100 health, will be summoning a 500+ hp minion half the time.
Clerics in general will be great against teams with lots of mana control. I could see bringing a green-holy team with cb Elkanen, C Lianna, Viv and two others against heavy mana ailment teams (maybe Alfrike?)

C Kadilen is a Sorcerer, so her superior talent is +60% chance to drop the mana generation of the enemy by -50% for 2 turns after dealing damage.
