His card reads “all allies get xx% to damage recieved from status ailments” now, rather than “status effects” as original card read. So, if he was usable to help against G.Hippo’s damage before, I wonder if he still is, or if that was “fixed”?
His damage% isn’t trash anymore but his stats will still hold him back.
Maybe his stat are not UP to date… But for me thé buff IS a good news…
I dont have many fast red hero.
I recently got Gestalt, which IS really awsome. But hé needs some fast red damage dealer…
My red team, which wasn’t so Bad IS now a bit better:
So I’m really happy if this balance update .
And Zimkitha also for buffed
This is a pity. If he were able to reduce damage from all status effects, not just ailments, he would definitely have a niche after this buff against notable heroes like the Astral elves, Erlang Shen, Hippo, Ginger, etc.
As is, I think he will be usable after this buff, but more for those with limited options. He could even be good for those with more limited options because fast red heroes with decent damage are not readily available without spending.
Yes, the buff is good news but for damage% of fast 3-target heroes 340%+ is the norm now.
He’s hotm, 310% is already consider good
If only SG created a red pengi, this hero will rise back to relevancy
I have updated the OP with december balance updates.
