Fox heroes summon a Sly Fox Minion for themselves at the start of the battle.

Sly Fox Minion has 2% health and 100% attack inherited from the hero. Spy Fox Minion has 80% chance to dodge incoming attacks.
When Sly Fox Minion dodges, it steals the lazest dispellable buff from the atracker, and gives it to its owner.

:test_tube: Changes from Beta

  • Defense buff is replaced with healing over time.
  • Family bonus is updated.
  • Caster’s healing is increased from 350 to 1750.

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later. :slight_smile:

I… uh…

what

The “family bonus” and the “passive” are better than many entire heroes, with a “steal LB2 effects from the start of battle” (sure, the minion is tiny, but with a 160% dodge chance, who cares) and permanent heal nerf to all enemies as long as the hero is alive

what

oh, yeah, and there’s the actual Special, which very certainly seems anything but weakened to account for the sidecard powers.

The Hero card is updated with the changes.
Polls are now enabled.

No. Just no. I was fine with OP heroes. But foxes are too much. They are opening door for things that shouldn’t be in the game.

No, it’s the door behind that door.

I’m VERY afraid of status effects without expiration. You could say we saw this when they released goblins. But goblins are affecting base stats, and these are status aliments. And this is where the problem is - it forces you to go with heroes with specific skill - ones that can clean status aliments. So far we were not forced to pick any specific special. Enemies have buffs? We could take dispeller or just wait. Enemies have debuffs? We could take cleanser or wait. But now they are releasing status effects where we can’t simply survive, because there are there and they won’t go off.

So far it’s protection and DOT. But I know this game and once it started it won’t stop. We will soon see permament taunt, permament riposte, permament defence up.

And once we will hit permament protection from dispelling/cleansing it’s where the game is over.

It’s very dangerous path we just entered. Even more dangerous than goblins’ stats changing and heroes with OP specials.

14

That’s for sure dangerous terrain for both players and for developers.

They are pushing so much on “extra” effects that the average player must feel unsure of what they should chase.

  • A hero with dispellable buffs/aliments? What’s the point?
  • A hero that don’t have Growth/Wither? What’s the point? (Goblins)
  • Heroes that don’t have extra damage and bulk due to Mega Minions or undispellable minions? What’s the point?
  • A hero that don’t steal/clear Growth/Wither? What’s the point? (Fungi and Garrison)
  • A hero that can’t resist mana effects? What’s the point? (Toons)

Extra stats, extra health, extra attacks with only few direct counters, if any, while the ramping up stats are naturally filtering older, valid alternatives, and turning it into paper rock scissors lizard spock v1.0, that won’t still hold a candle to paper rock scissors lizard spock v2.0

This leads to summon paralysis, less investment into the game and less cash flow.

I hope the ones that calls the shots will recognize that while it’s their merit when things are going well it’s still their fault when things ain’t.
