Purple Ascension advice

Heroes fully levelled: Jabberwock, Clarissa, Sartana, Alfrike, Freya, C. Ursena and C. Killhare.

Heroes I have at 3.70 what would you pick? Thinking of Bera.

  • Bera
  • Hannah
  • Ludwig
  • Kunchen

Also have Krampus fully levelled that’s why I’m not inclined to go with Ludwig even though he’s crazy good.

Thanks

The formation with two tanks being Krampus and Ludwig is difficult. Especially with two monster slow hitter behind him.

Ludwig, without a question. I have all of these heroes, except Kunchen, and Ludwig improved my gameplay in all aspects by a margin like noone before. Six rounds taunt is just a cherry, but mana boost to characters nearby is what making him unique and useful everywhere.

I agree with all the posters, even though you already have a taunter, Ludwig still seems miles ahead of the other choices and it can never hurt to have another taunter (possible the best one) :slight_smile:

In my honest opinion I would focus first on Ludwig - 100% you will not be disappointed…
Whichever hero you choose good luck

good evening everyone, i would choose ludwig, and too ahead of other heroes, with 2 good heroes with multiple attacks by his side, the game is over before starting, much better than krampus

good thing about ludwig is he can boost mana nearby, so he isn’t just a taunter

There’s the way OldCynic puts it:

Ludwig is so powerful that there are concerns at SG that he might use his powers to exit the game and pursue a normal life in the physical world.

In his review of Ludwig (How Good is Ludwig? Empires and Puzzles Knights Review • OLD CYNIC) he lays out the horrifying math behind what people on this thread have been saying about the mana boost, which boils down to basically

if the heroes on either side of Ludwig have zero mana when Ludwig first fires, and receive ZERO tiles, they will still fire three times each in the next six turns

Arguably the biggest effect of Ludwig’s taunt is that a single dispel is not enough to stop this Mana Avalanche of Doom — and if there are any other Wolf heroes on the board, there is a chance for Ludwig’s buffs (mana bombs, taunt) to be literally undispellable.

Probably the single strongest possible argument against leveling Ludwig is that he is so strong that he merits a nerf as much as pretty much any hero in the game; since he’s basically paywalled, though, that presumably greatly reduces the chance that SG actually will nerf him.

I would show my love to Bera if I had her :heart_eyes: That being said I can see why people want Ludwig to be prioritised - he’s by far superior! :partying_face:

I’d say If you have a dupe Sartana, you should go with her. J/K the answer is most definitely Ludwig.
