Pulled both today from covenant within 5 pulls of each other. Scoria has better speed and appears to have better overall special. Rust has that great passive, though he’s my first Fox hero so haven’t seen it in action except against me.
How has Rust been for folks who leveled him? Is scoria still worth leveling?
Scoria is great + wither is useful, but:
Rust is disgustingly good: dmg, stats, passive, lasting bleed, cover, selfheal…
so Rust first, and right after Scoria
Scoria - I knew would be an excellent hero and yet I continue to be surprised with just how good Scoria is.
The damage is very good.
The Silence of the hero with the most HP is great most of the time. With a toon heavy opponent you cannot count on it and need to be careful you don’t have it reflected back onto your team (it sucks). Some heroes simply resist it, a shame but not a deal breaker.
The Wither is where the delight originates (mostly because I don’t think about it and suddenly it makes a difference, leading to my delight). Assuming you are in a longer battle the heroes that would usually be able to wipe out your entire team barely scratch you. It has allowed for several important war flag victories and very satisfying raid wins.
It does not reset in equalizer so is one of the few top tier ailments that your team can cast.
Sorry this didn’t help you at all with the decision.
In my mind it was close, but my mind isn’t always right. This is very close. Would love to hear more thoughts as to why one way or the other. Thank you again!
I use Scoria with Scrollbeast. If they fire both, then it is game over. (because of double wither they hit like a child) (if no Garrison Guard in nmy team)
So if you can fire him twice, or combine, he could be a game changer.
I really like Scoria, but I don’t have Rust. Scorias Wither saved me one war fight, I can remember that. And the corrosive core is also worth to mention which, will make it harder for the attacker if you put him in defense.
He cuts healing to 50% less. That itself makes Rust invaluable. Then his permanent DOT until cleansed, direct damage and self heal + cover to someone in the team makes him more useful than a lot of cards. His stats are insane too.
