Bobās Brief Bizarro Budget Breakdownā¦ the Third! (Feb 2025 edition)
A lot of attention gets focused on the high-end choices, especially for folks who want to clear a whole bunch of roster space even first and foremost, but once again Iām looking to the 10-soul choices, offering a few thoughts about each of them: why folks on a budget and trying to decide ātake a cheap optionā or āpassā might lean toward the formerā¦ or the latter.
hahahahahahahahahahaha Ahem.
- take: you donāt have a 5* Goblin at all and youād really like that āunavoidably blinds everyone with a āpassiveā plus removes boosted health for free with a Goblin āfamily bonusāā shenanigans; you kinda like ārandom effectā heroes that can hit or heal, even at Slow
- pass: itās Kettle ā if the Slow random thing isnāt for you, and you donāt want/need the Goblin āsidecardā abilities that bad
- take: you get some free mana every time a foeās Special goes off; hits all at Average and punishes foes for dispelling you
- pass: hit-all at Average is okay, butā¦ check her stats (only Heimdallās costume is older, and thatās been hit with several rounds of buffs since release!) and even the damage on dispel. Can be useful, but not nearly as much as when she came out.
- take: you want a red fiender (obviously) with respectable-sized fiends (note that you may well need 2LB to get full benefit, since fiends have a 1000hp limit before 2LB, 2000hp limit after) who hits all at Averageā¦ or, of course, you want her headline ability of āblocks Tauntā and āhits/fiends through Tauntā
- pass: you already have her (obviously), or you have other abilities that you prefer (like general buff-blocking, dispel, etc) in order to deal with Taunt
- take: silence-3 at Average speed
- pass: if like me, you literally didnāt remember who this guy was; immunity to Special blocking to 3 is nice, but much nicer as a passive; some damage, but itās a SE hero and probably not what you want to depend on that way
- take: pretty significant upgrade to base Heimdall, both in size (though the costume is an old release, the stats have been juiced significantly multiple times since release) and in becoming a ārealā reviver; if you donāt already have Heimdall, this could be a reviver quite a bit bigger than base Mother North, and if you DO already have Heimdall, it means you can get his costume running pretty fast
- pass: if you have base Heimdall, his costume should be available through Visiting Outfitter, which is way cheaper than 10 souls
On cHeimdall, the VO question is how many other heroes you have who could also really really use their costumes, especially given that VO seems pretty infrequent so far, i.e., how long do you want to wait to take Heimdallās costume?
