I am just about to max Freya and I’m curious if I have a good plan to add her in my defense team or not. I would have to strip emblems from Vela, which I think I’m fine with since I’m not super happy with her anymore. Though, that means I’m leaving Heimdall without a blue flank. Would moving Finley to flank be ideal? He shines best at wing
Then my thoughts moved to, what if I moved Heimdall to the left flank similar to how people use Alby and Mother North! Not many people use Heimdall there, I know his revive is the smallest but it seems like having Heimdall at tank completely makes that ability pointless. Moving Heimdall at the left wing could be useful still! Even if the revive is small, it’s still nice to have the chance to utilize it!
Does anyone have experience using Freya at tank? If so, then I was thinking maybe a team of:
Heimdell- Finley - Freya - Drake - Killhare
Does this team look good to you or does it pale in comparison to my current team?
I’ll show my other heroes too if y’all think you can come up with an even stronger defense team!
Lolol did a mod (Sarah2) really edit my post to include the word “please“?!? That is so petty and pedantic. I didn’t know this forums rules said you had to have Please in the title of your posts
I’ve fought her as tank a couple times and I don’t really think she’s very threatening there. It’s pretty easy to heal back the raven damage and pretty easy to flip her defense buff. Best thing she does is when she goes down she reduces all enemy mana, and I’m not really sold on the best thing happening upon KO being a selling point either.
Thanks for the advice! Do you think taking away Vela and moving Freya in, like the team you are suggesting is now opening a weakness against fire stacks that Vela was able to help stop before? Is that new weakness small enough that Freya can compensate for?
I think your current setup is the best you could have. But if you really want to get away from Heimdall as a tank, how about going old(ish) school with Guinevere? I think she’s your only other viable choice.
I don’t think I woulld do that myself since Drake is one of the best flanks in the game. Or you could use Grazul instead of Natalya and have way too much heal/regenerate. Grazul does work nice with Killhare. On offense at least. Don’t see any other viable tanks in your squad. Aegir and Santa had their days but they are easy to bypass nowadays.
For established/experienced players, she’s beatable - there are definite counters available (especially Kage, Seshat and Panther) but there will be plenty of newer players who don’t have Seshat, Panther is hard to target and successfully pull and Kage is a lower priority these days (and I’m certainly using mine much less without so many Guin tanks around!).
In terms of obscurity… Plenty of players will try to hit it and wind up struggling. But there will also be players (like me) with all the counters that will lick their lips and attack (often successfully!).
Like my post said, i knew this was probably the most viable option but I am trying to find a way to create a similarly strong defensive team without relying on the green tank which has become so normalized in our current meta. I’m trying to shake things up for a fun.
Also, Drake is better on flank because he gives strong damage and blinds. If Killhare goes off too early she will leave the team with defense down right when the enemy team is probably finished building up their mana, which will let the other team use all their abilities while my team is hampered. Killhare is best as a finisher. Make sure no one is left alive after her ability
