šŸ¤– Scath ā€“ 5* Dark / Purple from Construct family

Cool! Iā€™d still love a copy. I find the consensus on the forum to be wrong very often bc most people are only thinking about top defense heroes.

Yeah Iā€™m also not really sure why I pulled, Iā€™m only missing Scath, Cinderella and Tametomo and I donā€™t really need any of them. Ended up pulling dupe Elephant ugh. No more pulls here after that realisation :sweat_smile:

Having those 2 would be the only reason I could think of that would make me want the Pirate :smiley: CanĀ“t think of a more perfect partner! Color, Speed, Nr, of targets and functionality align perfectly.

They should alter his special to ā€œstores all damage dealt to ALL enemies for 3 turnsā€
I think thatā€™d make him more usable

Bleh, thought Iā€™d try for the new guardian. Got this guy insteadā€¦ :roll_eyes:

Something for fast warsā€¦ Maybe. First dark constructor for me at least.

Bonjour petite question pour scath quand on dit que les pv ne peuvent pas ĆŖtre dissiper ignore tā€™il la baisse de sante maximale? Peut-il regagner des pv et retrouver sa santĆ© de base?

Dupe Elephant is someone Iā€™d consider ascending though. And I didnā€™t ascend dupe of any 5* so far. Heā€™s superb for titans, events. Plus he has funny special skill noise when on 2x speed mode.

For me itā€™s more the fact heā€™s slow and then you have to wait some more for his effects to take, well, effect. HoT takes time to heal, though it is indeed massive, for counterattack he needs to be attacked to do something and with damage storing stuff he has to get hit and get charged to do something. Itā€™s the same issue as with Gongniu really. But while Gongniu has much superior passives (Repair Core is nice and provides something that is done when special is fired, but relies, again, on being hit, while Gongniu shuts down minion abilities and heals on status effects, allowing her to live long enough to fire her special) and buffs from her special can be triggered prematurely by (C-)Snow White, there is no such advantage for Scath.

Oh thatā€™s interesting, I mean from his polls most people would only ascend 1 elephant but I guess there could be a benefit if going for competitive scores in titans and events? Usually the heroes I see people justify dupes are those ones like Pepperflame, Starwalker etc where there is good synergy to run them side by side. Anyway I have to check out his skill noise next time (I always play with sound off lol) :sweat_smile:

I was thinking of replicating Pengi strategy with GE, in which case GE x 2 could be useful. Dunno really mechanics behind Pengi though so I could be wrong, but on blue Mystic Titan it kinda worked well even with Firmin Richard at 3/70, without Special Skill damage booster and without DD stacks sticking to Titan.

Also, the top scorers had 2 x 9HB in their teams and GE is 9HB on steroids, so it should work.

The AOE damage portion of this heroā€™s special appeared to bypass taunt during a league fight. The card doesnā€™t indicate it should do that. Has anyone else had that happen?

Right, but the AOE isnā€™t part of his core passive; itā€™s just part of his special. Iā€™ve seen passives ignore taunt and debuffs like mindless attack, but his core is actually the healing one.

Oh, sorry, itā€™s late and I misread your reply without even double checking his core. Even if itā€™s a bug, it will most likely labled as ā€˜working as intendedā€™, but since the effect canā€™t be dispelled and it says it hits all enemies, it might really be working as intended. I usually just avoid hitting him if by any chance he charges before I kill him.

No worries! I appreciate the fact you took the time to reply.

Yeah, it likely is intended; I was just surprised when it still flattened my team despite taunt, lol. I hadnā€™t seen anyone mention that aspect of his special so I was more curious than anything else.

Damage from buff and passives always bypasses Taunt, like Gullinburstiā€™s AoE damage from his buff, Goblinā€™s AoE damage from passive, follow-ups from Guardian Hippo/Darkfeatherā€™s buff and similar, Corrosive or Destructive Core effects etc. Itā€™s good to keep this in mind and plan for it during fight because such effects become more and more numerous.

Got this guy today and I am not sure.

Anyone have him and still using it? Does it worth still levelling him?

Any use?

I got him too today. First I was excited but after reading the hero card there was a big disappointment. At least two of three phases of the special skill can be blocked so easily ie. with Malosi. The stored damage doesnā€™t seem to increase with attack, so not so much use for limit breaking. And that 1080 dmg feels to be a joke nowadays, as it is the maximum and normally it will be much lower than that. Only good position for this hero is to be a tank in defense and in rush war/tournament. I donā€™t see any use for him in the attacking team. I havenā€™t seen him on any raid defense ever. That tells quite much for the popularity. Yeah, this hero is a kick in the nuts by the developers, thank you very much.

Surely if I pull construct it will be the worst one. . . At least I have a construct. I guess I should be gladā€¦ if the worst dude is featured I will get him. If heā€™s not I will get him anyway. Still a bit better than salmon I guess.

Just checking in because I just pulled that junkerā€¦ looks like I didnĀ“t like him when he came out, canĀ“t say I like him more now that I got him lol. First 5er in months and then such a disappointmentā€¦
Anyway apparently nobody else has found any way to use him for anything besides a mediocre rush def tank (where I already have better).
I guess SE foodā€¦

I have him too, the only construct I managed to pull and out of all the monster ones I pulled this pathetic scrap metal.

I keep him because I keep telling myself there is no way they leave it like this. They gotta do something with this piece of crap.
