I’ve been testing Neith since day one and this is what I found:
Defense: She’s not a tank by any stretch of the word. Her base stats are simply way too low and her average mana will only work against you. Even with high emblems (I took mine to +13) her new stats are nice but not anything to brag about. RF is where she’s best suited for, and even then I noticed she wasn’t any major factor on my wins on any of the videos I saw against my defense. She never charged in a few instances. I used both lvl29mana and lvl30crit troops. Neither standing out more than the other.
Her 10% mana drain is only good enough to thwart a single turn of special attacks. But I found that heroes can usually recharge their special(s) on the same turn due to the drain being so low.
Her attack is next to non-existent only making any difference when paired with an attack boost. Her damage might be more noticeable at lower levels in the game against 4*s or unemblemed heroes but its nearly imperceptible the higher level you play at. Certain death if used against riposte. Looking at your Boss Wolf.
Blind is her biggest asset and really the single peripheral that stood out most of the time on any videos I saw. Mainly since it persists for 4 turns, which is not the best but also not the worst. Basically acts as a safety net once the weak 10% mana drain has lost its effect, which is nearly immediately after it’s been fired.
Element Link mana boost is yet another tool taunting us to color stack, so those of you who think SG might be discouraging color stacking, think again, all if not most new heroes will have a an elemental link going forward. Not just to allow us to build better team chemistry but also boost our attack against these new emblemed heroes with high base stats. I would imagine that Neith’s would be most valuable when paired with other average mana heroes. I only used her with other fast mana heroes so there was no noticeable benefit to the mana boost.
Offense: Expect everything I just mentioned from defense with the only added benefit that you can use her mana drain more strategically. I found her to be pretty fun to play with, often time clearing all the mostly dead heroes with an attack boost applied to her special and then setting you up for a further damage and at times event helping your offense stay alive longer with her blind applied.
Titans*: Don’t even bother, unless you have nothing better. Someone else may be able to build a case for her in this area, not me.
I think I’m done playing with her in any serious raiding, she’ll likely never be back on my defense unless she gets buffed and all her emblems will go back to Seshat asap. I don’t regret maxing her and giving her emblems since I do enjoy using her, but as of now she’s just another halfassed hero by SG… I’m almost positive she’ll get buffed in the future, she has to because as it stands she’s by no means a must have. Definitely not worth pursuing in my opinion. Luxury hero at best that most can’t afford tbh…
