They’re not, they are classes on their own. Defensive buffs includes any kind of increased defense (but not growth I believe), flat damage reduction (Sif, Willow), Knight’s endurance and every kind of Riposte. It’s essentially what Sobek bypasses. So ideal against C2-Obakan and the likes. Less ideal against taunters and co, though you can still soften them with Norman then finish taunter and mop out the rest.
I think his best case is using him as tank. His special is designed so AI can’t screw it up. Enemy can’t do a thing to block it except attack reduction or wither. His LB2 and Fighter class extends his durability. And tanks charge frigging fast on defense (or at least that is my feeling). We have red tanks in war, so that’s how I plan to use him.
Popped out of Covenant portal on a single token pull for me. Paired with Satori and Nogu I think this could be the beginning of a wonderful attack partnership. Speed level worthy? Maybe…
Game changer? No. Very good hero? Most definitely. Especially if you manage to team him with 2 other Champion Family heroes. I use him regularly against heroes with counterattack or def up buffs and he rarely disappoints.
So I have this Hero and im 99.9% sure the Ignore def buffs chance is not 100%.
I only noticed this now because of the new event with the soft skin gargoyles. Sometimes it ignores the counteratrtack, but most definitely not always. Making me think they reversed the 100% back to 60% (like before the beta change) when they upped the attack from 285 to 320.
Maybe…
