It sounds like he will hit the furthest left and right heroes. If all but one hero is dead he will hit for double.
Two snipers vs Jabs and a sniper
@Mr_Style_Points sorry I missed your comment in the flood of all my notifications
For everyone elseās benefit we were - I think - discussing in the beta thread (as in @zephyr1ās beta preview, not the actual secret base I donāt have access to) the utility of Jabs in killing healers on the far wings. We compared 1) bringing Jabs and one sniper or 2) simply bringing two snipers.
@Mr_Style_Points suggested it would be more economical to simply bring two snipers.
I suggested Jabs and one sniper would be enough to handle two healers or one healer at the edge
Continuing from that thread, could I suggest that an AOE like Zim, or Def down like Grimm, coupled with Jabsā outer hits plus poison, would do enough damage to make it within the range of a OHKO for a lone sniper? Thus while a second sniper would be nice it might not be necessary. Or do you think the dmg still isnāt enough
Cheers
Yep, thatās exactly how he works.
More precisely, if thereās only one enemy remaining, he hits them twice.
Because of how damage is calculated, thatās an important distinction, as it doesnāt mean the attack stat is doubled.
He looks fast and savage to me! Iām a fan. Heād get some emblems and a place on raid, titan, and defense teams. Him, 2 Seshats. Sartana, and Rigard could pillage as a mono dark team out of my stable (I donāt have Kunchen, Hel, Aeron, or Ursena )
isnt It the same thing . If one hit was to do 500 if it hit again as lone hero it would be another 500 damage to HP
These two things arenāt the same, and would result in very different amounts of actual damage:
- 300% damage, dealt twice
- 600% damage, dealt once
The reason for that is damage calculation is exponential as Attack exceeds Defense.
This was a point of confusion in the discussions during Beta, so Iām trying to make it clear here.
What Jabberwock does with a single remaining target is to hit it twice with both swipes, effectively doubling the actual amount of damage, not doubling the hit percentage.
Seems cool but Iām fresh out of tabards and not that worried about it
If the wings are dead, what does Jabby do after that?
flank, after that if left flank only dead, then right flank and tank, if right flank dead, then tank (with double hit, because only one hero left).
The point is Jabberwock will hit 2 opponent one far left and one far right, thats it.
I know that I want Jabberwock, have known since seeing Zephyrās first post.
My lament is that Dark is where I lack ALL materials to ascend new heroes. There are so many good 4* heroes (Proteus, Merlin, Rigard, (ahem, Sabina b/c she was my first healer), Cat, Tibby) that not only am I way short of Tabards but also Trap Tools. The upside is that I have a lot of heroes I loveā¦
Assuming Trap Tools flood in, there is still the Tabard conundrum b/c Dark also happens to have some incredible 5* heroes, where does Jabberwock stand in the queue? Behind Seshat I believe, also behind Ursena and Kage. Ahead of Marie-Therese? Ahead of Sartana, right? Ahead of Domitia?
White Rabbit seems to be an obvious āhead of the lineā hero as the first Holy pulverizer. Jabberwock seems like a nice hero to have (and yet, I want him in my team, the art, the name alone, love the poem) but isnāt filling a unique niche, there are already so many excellent damage dealers in Dark.
Does this mean a vorpal blade is coming to the game? It will HAVE to go āsnicker-snackā!
If tank is dead we have 4 edges. What then?
Another Dark hero. Cool. But I donāt have the Tabbards to level this beast, and it will likely be next year before I get the 6 needed for final ascensionā¦ so with that said. I am not pulling for this guy. He sounds nifty, and powerful and all that jazz. If I get him, he will be sitting on the bottom of my roster for a loooooooooooooooong time.
Got a question. Does he hit 300% to target 1 and 300% to target 2 OR split 300% in 150% each target?
Same question came to my mindā¦
300% to each

Omfg he is a MONSTER!!! He is a two sniper in a single hero, also heās fast and DOT his targets. He seems to be the best purple around
He is a monster, but his monstrosity is tempered by being unable to choose a target. The difference in being able to finish off a charged up kage vs. hitting (and not killing) two full health wings could easily be the difference in the match.
Reminds me almost a of berserker type character. Heās (sheās?) gonna hit stuff, gonna hit it hard but it just might not be what you need.
My understanding from the beta thread is that the description would be much more clear if it said something like, āSpecial skill hits the rightmost enemy and the leftmost enemy. If only one enemy remains, the damage is doubled, but the DoT is not.ā
They seem like a viable anti-Alberich / Mother North option for those who donāt have Natalya.
True. However, that tempering exists on offence only ā on defence you cannot choose a target in the first place. I havenāt looked at the stats to see how it plays out, but with fast mana speed, he might even hit the same two targets again, which could make him better suited for defence than many snipers.
Absolutely, he is great in defense. Honestly I think heās great all around, and a good addition to the game. Canāt wait to (hopefully) pull him, and canāt wait to put counter attacking heroās on the wings of my attack formation
