How do you find Obakan these days? I got his first copy a few months ago and I have no idea if he’s usefull at all. By reading his card I can’t find anything good about him…
@sleepyhead you mentioned that you have him maxed. What do you think about him?

@Sorvina I can’t say much good about him. His costume is more useful, but he himself… well he has high attack, his self-riposte isn’t very useful as the enemy often doesn’t target him anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

I just use him for Tower depth, saving my better heroes for later levels

my strategy about “mediocre” and “under-powered” heroes is; if i dont have anything to work on, i make them 3/70 in the mean time with heroes from map stages. if i got their costumes, and if their costumes are good, ofcourse, i would ascend them :slight_smile:

if you are not going to use them on SE, you can work very slowly on them, all that i can say ^^

Really? I thought that his costume is also kind of “meh”. For now I work on other heroes, I don’t know when I will start working on Obakan, but I’m glad I’m not missing anything by not maxing him^^.

You mean 2nd costume? Hm, maybe his 2nd costume will be useful. I wonder if SG will release it this year!

His second costume will be available on the next costume chamber. You can read it from V50 notes on top of main page :slight_smile:

Depending on enemy formation, his forst costume can be good too while attacking :slight_smile:

Ah, right! I missed that ^^. I read his new special skill and it sounds way more interesting!
But… I am going to save my keys until all 5* and 4* heroes will have their 2nd costumes, so I won’t be doing pulls this year for sure.

his first costume is also meh, but still more useful because it gives riposte to 3, rather than just 1. with the AI’s stupid targetting, it’s more likely something will actually riposte :stuck_out_tongue:
