Has anybody tested his Special against Titans? Kage is set to always be the lower amount(below 50%) against Titans which has me wondering if Ranvir is coded to always be less health than the Titan

From a very good friend:

Mystic’s Virtue versus Martial Prowess

Mystic’s Virtue is very similar to Gambler’s Stance ( see below quotes )

  • Will he make you main team?

I wish @zephyr1! Spent most of my saved tokens for the Sand Empire right after I saw that card! But, as usual, I got Renfeld, Prisca, LJ and no love from RNG

  • Will you use him on Defense? Offense?
    Quests/Events? Titans?

I’d use him on offense, especially against Titans, against poison enemies and just to have a Centaur card

  • Will you give Ranvir Druid emblems? Which Talent Grid path will you choose?

If I had him, I’d go HP

  • What do you think of his special?

Wu + that hit.

  • What do you think of his character design?

I love it since the day I laid eyes on him! Can we get more Centaurs from all over and maybe a Ranger Centaur, for all of us Sagittarius?

@Matt-GoRinNoSho are you sure? Just tested with John and Skittleskull. No additional damage, no misses under horse’s skill.

Do you guys really think he’d work well in raid defense? I may be wrong but missed special sound like a huge disadvantage.
Tile damage is a different thing. There will be some hits and misses but after decent number of tiles overall damage should be better.
But missing specials is a different story as you fire only a couple of times during fight.
Sure Ranvir will be great against titans but with my limited budget, I’ll probably hold my EHTs for the July part of Sand Empire.

Probably as a wing he’d be decent. You could make it so he fires his skill last on the right wing and that way any skills fired before wouldn’t miss.

However it’s still high risk. After he fires he can get countered by blindness ailment from Joon, Justice or Hu Tao. The accuracy ailment stacks with his accuracy drop from his buff, that’s over 65% chance to miss if you blind him, one of his teammates or his entire team.

Personally I’d stick to offense with him.

I read this as that only applies to the - accuracy.

thats my issue…my titan teams are almost always near full health so his bonus would rarely kick in, on top of that once titan is below 50%, bonus will almost NEVER kick in. First HOTM in a LONG time that i am not pulling for on first day.

That was my question too. If he’s coded like Kage, his Special would never take effect against Titans!

“HOLY CENTAUR”! is right. :joy:

HOLY SH… Centaur. I meant Centaur.

The HP comparison is based on absolute amount, not percentage.

For Titans the only way it won’t be active is if the Titan is down to its last 1200 HP or so, at which point normal damage would be sufficient to finish it off and kill it.

ah that is a big difference then…so they are definitely keeping him a titan specialist like Wu

Ranvir’s special suppose to work on allies as well, right? So, say, if I had Little John in a team, Ranvir’s special would work or not based on LJ’s health, not Ranvir’s health, when it is John’s turn to hit.

Yes, the health comparison is for each attacker and target, not Ranvir (except for his own buff on himself).

It can actually be a bit confusing in practice.
