Bobā€™s 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 Iā€™m looking to the 10-soul choices, offering a few thoughts about each of them: why folks on a budget and trying to decide ā€œtake a cheap optionā€ or ā€œpassā€ might lean toward the formerā€¦ or the latter.

:blue_square: Kettle

hahahahahahahahahahaha Ahem.

  • take: you donā€™t have a 5* Goblin at all and youā€™d really like that ā€œunavoidably blinds everyone with a ā€˜passiveā€™ plus removes boosted health for free with a Goblin ā€˜family bonusā€™ā€ shenanigans; you kinda like ā€œrandom effectā€ heroes that can hit or heal, even at Slow
  • pass: itā€™s Kettle ā€“ if the Slow random thing isnā€™t for you, and you donā€™t want/need the Goblin ā€œsidecardā€ abilities that bad

:yellow_square: Queen Guowang

  • take: you get some free mana every time a foeā€™s 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 Heimdallā€™s costume is older, and thatā€™s 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.

:red_square: Neema

:purple_square: Mortimer

  • take: silence-3 at Average speed
  • pass: if like me, you literally didnā€™t remember who this guy was; immunity to Special blocking to 3 is nice, but much nicer as a passive; some damage, but itā€™s a SE hero and probably not what you want to depend on that way

:green_square: cHeimdall

  • 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 ā€œrealā€ reviver; if you donā€™t 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 Heimdallā€™s costume?
