Interesting mechanic, but i’d rather have the fast scorpion lady [uncleansable poison and priority dispell]

Meg Giry doesnt stand out at all

5

They can’t possibly release her as is. She does very little

6

Now recovers 60% health for all allies which is awesome! Cleopatra is probably even better but it’s definitely a big step forward

Definitely more desirable now for sure, maybe not tops, but I would not be upset in the slightest. Plus a paladin healer seems to be rare

First 5* opera hero I get… I think I’m a tad disappointed but a healing cleanser is a healing cleanser I guess

Just one gamer’s opinion

Game Well :sunglasses: :mechanical_arm:

On top of the 60% heal, I know it’s not a full cleanse but a status ailment reallocation, cleanse prevention and 60% defense to all does make her a pretty good support hero!

First of all you can’t never have too many healers. Second of all, besides the toon passive, I believe her special is stronger than Vivica’s “AND” she is average speed. Alone she is probably not a game changer, but you pair her with a mana gen hero or with a DOT hero and she is an amazing supportive specialist. That deep heal with her increased survivability stats will make her problematic as a tank/flank. She may not be the strongest in the portal but the main reason I’m happy with her is because the only color I don’t have projects in the moment was yellow, so I can start working on her right the way. :yellow_heart::star::yellow_heart::star::yellow_heart:

How do you compare her to Cleopatra, another average speed healer who heals 5% more with a different utility?

Excellent question. In theory, I think Cleopatra is slightly better, but thanks to power creep, Meg is probably the more relevant. Plus the stats get even better paired with other Opera heroes. I am always lacking cleric emblems, so I’d go with Meg anyways. I like her. Not blown away by her, but when I need a strong healer, she’ll be making the teams. I tend to use mana boosting heroes anyways, so the average speed doesn’t concern me that much

WIth the way things have been going, I’m starting to think maybe they just forgot to include that heal when they introduced it to Beta lol :rofl:

IMO reallocating the latest status ailment back to a random enemy is better than a full cleanse. It gives her the ability to inflict pain to the enemy instead of being a 100% passive hero. The deep heal and defense up are in line with Cleo/Vivica. But the best part of her special is the ability to make status ailments uncleansable. Daroga, Verus and Rocket are just a few of the new wave of DOT heroes released and their DOT are devastating. You pair Meg with them and coordinate their attack, and you will have a very good chance to destroy any defense line up.

I would think that G Gazelle and the like would still be able to cleanse, right? but still agree that rocket and her would be a very good combo in most cases

I got her on the third summon, I saved because of fated, i am f2p. I had Director Zuri, lb1, as my strongest healer on yellow, other than vivica, without any costume, so yeah this lady for sure is amazing to me.

Having faced a toon Vivica, I compared them and I think she can be close to it. Being average speed is a good advantage nowadays, I don’t know if I will LB2 her, but she fits really well on my team. I got Lodius, I am lucky this year, so I replaced my hathor for Lodius and was using Zuri.

I also think both together can be quiet deadly, since he will keep using counterattack and she will be healing kinda fast and a lot. I also have Ferrus, so being unable to cleanse is a very strong habilitiy

I have a question, if the latest ailment is uncleansable will it still cleanse the next cleansable one? Or does it not cleanse anything at that point?
