Prince Siegfried - 5* Nature / Green from Secrets of the Opera

Got this seriously green dude :))) Now as I have nothing better to level in greens it will be between two mediocre heroes - the Siegfried (if only he would be as tough as Siegfried Line in defence) and Boom & Fang… So what you think whom I should go with? :))

  • Prince Siegfried
  • Boom & Fang

What’s “mediocre” about Siegfried?

The speed and the fact you can’t have other buffs on team. But unremovable riposte and damage reduction can be annoying along with his revival buff. Though the former can be bypassed by Norman, Flip and Willow.

The speed it’s enough for me to not max this one, also if he it’s defeated you will lose everything.

All of them are not very strong heroes - so not much ascending them

I dont like slow heroes but hes one of the better ones - his class with big mana node & myoin ni helps him alot though

Gotta build a team around him and find the right opponent & he gets very useable

Although his skill is quite passive on offense its also very strong vs every high damage dealer

Except a massive heal which brings your heroes to full life again :disappointed:

Have the same issue. Boom and prince. I have time as I need 2 more tonic. I have faced him in a 7dd defense as tank with 5star troop. Didn’t go well for me first time. But pulled off a miracle win next time. So I am not going to write him off. I am not sure if he is great but I have been wrong before and want be proved wrong with this guy. He is my only dancer. So hopeful.

I did 100 pulls and got this one. Indeed very dissapointing compared to all the new heroes out there.

I guess a lot of people dont understand what he is doing and how to use him

But its very often like this in here :innocent:

He is not a game changer on his own - but if you have some specific heroes to pair him with he might be quite helpful vs hard hitters & some current meta stuff

One of the more useable slow heroes outside of rush within certain team setups & vs certain enemies

guess mr felton @Homaclese might think hes at least very useable on offense for example

i also would have preferred firmin richard for sure :smiley:
But hes far better than some recent slow trash like februs or kettle

I will tell where he lacks.
In defense he needs to fire as early as possible to grant the damage reduction and counterattack.
He needs to fire and die within 5 turns to heal his allies. Otherwise, he isn’t a healer.
He makes his allies immune to any kind of buff. So, if you have a HOT, mana buffer, attack up etc he makes your entire team useless.

Now his strength

If he fires before your team is dead, then he can turn the fight around with his counterattack on those massive damage dealers and can reduce the damage incoming.
He can make your team immune to everything.
And when he dies he can heal you to Cleopatra levels, but all loses their buffs.
He can also heal himself when any ailments are removed from him and that is around 450 HP.

In summary, you need to plan your team around him in a very specific way be it defense or offense. But being a slow card, the game is usually over before he makes an impact a lot of times.

Everything above gets negated in V fast. Here he can be a great tank in regular formation. He fires the fight can get overwhelming. If he dies after firing it gets nasty with the heal, but you got a chance.
How to negate him - Use buff blockers on him before he fires and most of the challenges are negated.

Let me add that a hero who needs other heroes to be usefull is not usefull in todays meta.
It problably weakens your team. Imo

Ukkonen seems like a great pairing. Ukkonen can make Prince’s resurrection undispellable which is his main weakness imo.

I haven’t heard anyone say that their defense was weaker because they needed to pair with Ukkonen, but there’s a first time for everything.

Ukkonen has average speed. Prince is slow.
After 2 turns against an owl or goblin team you problably already lost half your team.
Well it is all about chance, you could be right, please share your video if it works out the way you intended.

Pulled him today in a failing effort to get Christine, I mean his stats look great but don’t even know if he can be made work on offense…

Offense seems more straightforward to me than defense. Pretty similar to Frog Prince in your’re looking for ways to reduce the tiles needed to fire. Myoni being the most obvious hero to serve as your healer and support.

Granny ninja still seems to be the best hero in the game (measured by how many copies of a hero would still be useful to have).

I wanted Christine, but managed Siegfried. Twice. Damn’it.

I Can see his use, but he needs 2LB and a support team with one good healer or healing hitters. If he gets going with undispellable counter attack, it becomes difficult for sure. But slow cards are haaard to make a stable defense on…

not true - every good attacking team is based on the right heroes creating synergies together lol

or try to play hippo or darkfeather on their own
