Wouldn’t it be funny if Mok-Arr got hit by teammates ripostes? I could just see him now, using a Ranvir’ed up dark wave only to deal himself 3k damage in ripostes completely obliterating himself.
I feel like the Ninja Turtles reject would kinda deserve that.
Yes it is very different. I’ve won several raids beceusa he didn’t miss. That’s fantastic and he is applying extra demage to adv strong in health. It’s fantastic raiding with ranvir
Technically the dice buffs also do stack with Tarlak, but that is not a good stack. Tarlak’s normal attack up buff forces a 160% attack cap, so it ends up being a really bad combo:
Ranvir alone = 195% attack boost with -35% accuracy ailment
So Tarlak and Wu Kong / Ranvir shouldn’t be used together; either one or the other.
@TheSchmoo in the link I provided above you can see which buffs overwrite each other. If it’s not listed, then it stacks. As you can see, Wu and Ranvir do overwrite each other, so they don’t stack.
This has already been tested with Gambler’s Stance. Onatel still misses. Because Mystic’s Virtue/ Gambler’s Stance is a buff, Onatel’s Resist Blind specifically excludes it. If I Recall Correctly, it is even mentions in the resist text.
Does anyone have a picture of what the card looks like at 3.70? I can see some folks who aren’t on crazy hard titans using him at that level, since his special is better than Wu’s.
Actually, because Ranvir’s buff (and debuff) only apply when your hero has less HP than the defender’s hero, wouldn’t Tarlak’s buff apply, unhindered by the dice, until your hero loses HP? At that point it would then be 165% with the -35% accuracy. But, you could choose when to toss each buff (so leave Tarlak powered up once your team gets low on HP)
Yes, the HP condition has to be met for the Ranvir buff to apply. That’s still 160% attack maximum, as opposed to 195% with just Ranvir’s buff.
Tarlak + Ranvir is difficult to manage and set up, not effective nor worth it when there’s better options available.
You generally don’t pick and choose who the enemy hits, making it unpredictable to prepare for when your HP will be lower. It’s even more difficult to manage those skills together because Tarlak also casts a passive HP recovery which would eventually bring your HP higher than the enemy.
You’re better off using Tarlak + Boldtusk, which gives a 148% attack buff at all times, it’s not 160% but it’s very close. If you’re fortunate enough to have both, Tarlak + Khiona can bring her and two other heroes to 145% attack + one more hit caps it at 160% already, which again is active at all times and is much more reliable to set up.
Not to mention it’s better to combo Ranvir with those two heroes as well… with Boldtusk you get a 48% attack buff at all times but a massive 243% buff with a -35% accuracy penalty when enemy HP is higher, because there’s no attack cap there.
So by taking Ranvir at 3.70 over Wu, we are giving up some attack and health for a faster/better special, higher defense, and an element link that protects a holy stack from dark damage. We are also giving up any advantage that emblems might provide.
