Is there a case to be made to level up costume thorn vs. magni?
Before the new magic tower troops i would have said no because, because he is stuck at average speed. But with Magic troops factored in think costume Thorn may be better.
4% sorcerer talent
5% costume
17% lvl 23 magic troop will give him
=26% mana boost
This will make costume thorn fire in 8 tiles and therefore would now begs a comparison with heros like Magni.
If he uses his special (total 50%), he can load in 7 tiles in the next three turns. Unfortuneatly he cant become very fast as this would require 66% mana.
As Thorn has much better survivability due to better defensive stats is he a better choice?
i know magni with costume bonus can reach approx 1000 attack stat though his special is much lower 420% vs. 540%
Howdy TTT. Well the best defense is with the best players you have. Seeing what you have there C Kad is an A+ defensive hero, Lewena is an A and C2 Li Xiu is probably a B+.
C Thorne is an average speed sniper with good power, but honestly he doesn’t do much. Best it does is kill only one enemy, and the lowering mana generation is an after thought. If that is your best Blue and are willing to give him the telescopes, have at it. But for the most part as you progress, Thorne will eventually be forgotten.
Given your choice c thorne gets the nod. But I don’t remember using him in the last year or more. He was my defender for some time when he was released but that’s very old story. If you are free to play he can be useful till your next best blue shows up.
His snipe and mana boost for 3 turns is decent
Thanks for your feedback guys!
I guess he can bench for a while then…
I have been playing for over 3 years as a P2P and still I only managed to grab C Throne, Magni, Miki, Isarnia as my 5* blue heroes… none are good on defense… so I get really excited when I get a blue 5* lol… out of the above ones Isarnia is the only one I pulled, the rest are from HA 10 within the last 5 months… so you can see that the 5* summoning gods are not on my side
Anyway I will continue my current blue 4* projects and he can wait… MAYBE HA 10 spits another blue at me by then
I really like my C.Thorne and he is LB. He isn’t very good in defense but he is useful in attack. Based on your other blues I would say that he is worth mats (and I guess you have plenty of scopes).
It might also depend on your playstyle, I like to have a sniper in my war team that can kill the most dangerous hero with lower HP. C.Thorne was actually 1 of 2 heores that made me like snipers again.
He don’t have any useful buffs/debuffs but his damage is high and with 5% mana bonus from costume you can charge him in 9 tiles with lower level mana troops.
And base version with costume bonus can do some good damage in challenge events, with some buffs and debuffs.
Yes sir!! Glad to see a positive experience with C Thorne! I will take him to 3/70 and see if he fits within my roster then! Regardless I am very excited that I grabbed him
What mana troop level does he need to fire in 9 tiles? My blue mana troop is level 12 now so 9% mana bonus.
Any average speed hero needs a total of 12% worth of mana bonuses to charge in 9 tiles. His costume bonus puts him at needing 7% more. 2 or 4% can come from mana nodes (depending on whether you are using the cb or c version).
FWIW I use the cb version on offense regularly with ccMagni and Lord Loki. I prefer the splash damage to the single target sniper. I have not found his mana bonus to be especially helpful. The cb version is considerably tankier (with a correspondingly lower attack), so it gives you some options on whether you want to hit harder or be tougher.
