Has anybody maxed this hero and tried him on offence and defence? I was wondering if i should replace ametyst lb2/ludwig lb as tank. Im just afraid he will be easy to kill with a minion remover.

Does anyone know if 5% mana is in total or for each minion?
The text on the card is fluffy and I can’t conclude if you get 5% mana or up to 15% mana if there are 3 minions.

I tested. It’s 5% per minion, so up to 15%.

One more thing to take into account about the mana from minions. He is also gaining that bonus. Unlike Ludwig who only affects nearby and he stays slow.

His special is either programmed wrong or written incorrectly. He only offers minion to nearby Allie’s, it just says Allie’s in the description.
please @PlayForFun open a balance thread for this hero
needs a big rebalancing (nerf) suddenly to be more on par with the rest of those heroes which have been released on the same event (and now gets improved versions of them on various events)
will not happen but one can clearly see that sg knows what they are doing & they are doing so in typical sneaky sg ways 
release 1 god tier hero plus 4 medicore to almost useless heroes - now they leave the god tier as is in this event but release 100% better copies of the others on different events while no beta copy of phorcys is seen on other events
but maybe sg wants to show a greta thunberg kind of message to us aka theres alot of waste on sea ground (aka galapagos lasalle & stuff) while there only few precious whales (phorcys) left swimming around 
So instead you to open new thread to ask SG to not make this, you want nerf for one balanced hero because the outhers from this portal it’s crap? I really can’t understand you my friend.
impressive stats, relatively faster taunt, what else?
Maybe you don’t understand what he wants, he wants this hero to be nerfed, to be crap like the outher heros from this portal.
I can add a balance discussion topic for this hero later today
My post may be a little over the top right 
But still think hes kind of op really - we starting to see a lot of expensive defs did change from ludwig to phorcys and i tested vs some of them and to me hes a little too fast for what he brings to the table - even on defense…
He is kind of like an next gen taunt hulda - but at fast speed
Im not one thar cries for a nerf on every new strong hero - for example i knew that hurricane hype would only last for 2 days until the nerf demands would be forgotten…
Phorcys is way stronger than hurricane to me
We know phorcys wont get nerfed lol as SG know its the jackpot of this portal with the rest being not really desireable right now
So for you one hero that can win the battle alone it’s weaker than one taunter? Sorry for this my friend but I can’t 
The topic is here:

Ludwig will also not win a rush battle on his own but yet he still is one of the best rush options there is
Now we basically have a fast ludwig with that stupid alpha taunt crap for everything else that more often than not goes directly from alpha taunt rounds to his special skill taunt
If you do own him or have fought him a couple of times you will know what im talking about
Everyone that says he is not op either owns him and knows how strong he is but dont wants him nerfed or did only fight him a few times
By the way can anyone please tell me why he did get alpha taunt while oni didnt?
It would have clashed with it’s undispellable taunt while regaining heal% increase between waves of mobs wouldn’t.
Don’t think he is op one lunar hero stops minons then u use Hypnos to dispel and block and he’s done for the rest of the match

same could be said for ludwig in rush - just use some mana blockers and he is done for the rest of the match
but after all he still is a pita on rush defense
if an alliance gonna put 25 phorcys on def (and we all know there are some alliances that might soon be able to do this) lunar heroes might save your first wave of attacks but after that idk
have not had the pleasure yet fighting sth like this but we might see in the near future
its alot about this ridiculous alpha taunt 2lb skill this should have never gone live like this -
one of the main things thats really nerf worthy
but my from my experience on raids hes a really strong option for defense
i noticed some of those 3k+ defs use him
but lets wait & see
a powerful skill like taunt should never ever be given for free to a hero (aka alpha taunt lol just compare this to some other 2lb stuff like fiend immunity…)
taunt to me is like the most important support skill besides creating mana
why do certain alliances - where attacks are all about mana speed - use slow heroes like queen anne & ludwig & even a 3* like shrubbear on the regular for attacks on top level wars?
those are wars were you might get laughed at when using an average hero and now we do have slow heroes getting used for war on the regular
because taunt is soo important in todays meta
for those heroes mentioned before you at least had some sort of balance through the mana speed of them which is why they mostly are used on attack because they are still too slow to be recharged when alpha taunt 4 rounds is over on defs
but now you have a hero that does the same but at fast speed which gurantees in alot of cases he will be already recharged with his regular skill when alpha taunt is over
that what makes him look op to me at the moment
but we will see how relevant he might be in the future idk

Anyone pull both Phorcys and Ephyra from that portal? Seems like they would work well together on offense. Not just the family bonus, but Ephyra adds a health stack to the minions while Phorcys adds an attack stack to the minions. Keep them alive long enough and those minions would be a pain in the butt to handle.
