This guy got a slight nerf, his healing went down from 75% to 45%. Not sure if that was necessarily given Aramis ‘boosts’ health by 30% and does more overall damage?

I see 40% and not 45%.

I think that’s reasonable, especially when you compare it to Sekhmet, which he seems to be (in my opinion) a direct upgradce of - even at the slightly slower speed.

Sekhmet: Fast
450% to one
heals 40% of damage dealt
Passive 50% chance of inflicting -34% attack down & 70% hit

Sha Wujiang: Average
610% to one
heals 40% of damage dealt
all allies get 45% chance to dodge SS
50% to recover 10% health on receiving a buff / 50% chance to receive 10% mana on receiving a buff

In addition, stat wise, I just checked and based purely on the portal’s level90 Sha Wujiang and a lvl90 Sekhmet found in the top 100, Sekhmet has ~20 more attack points, but is severely lacking by comaprison in defence (-200 points) and health (-170 points). NOTE: given that the “max level preview” only picks the left option, SW is definitely lacking in the attack department, so, these stats are not full accurate, but you get the idea :slight_smile:

Really like this hero - hes only average but i would play him in support part of attacking team

Would be a nice addition to my hero roster - but already got erlang so dont think they will grant another featured for me :sweat_smile:

Oh I totally just realised that added this as well, it would have been nice if they kept this part of the special to the original version since they already reduced his heal. I wouldn’t complain if I pulled him though, but I would much prefer Erlang Shang :rofl:

I think they likely did a good job balancing Sha from where he was inq beta (where he was an absolute OP monster). But SG has gotten in the habit of not having enough time between beta cycles to run changes back through beta so it is hard to tell.

But generally on teams you need healing, damage dealers and support. This guy does all three fairly well which is why I like him a lot.

That’s true, I guess the only type of specials that can bypass his dodge would be DoT and dispellers if I’m not mistaken?

This is a big bump in stats!! Do we have other heroes that compare to it?

Check @Elioty33 's data valult. It contains stats for all released heroes.

This month’s HoTM, Ithar, should be able to steal the dodge since her SS doesn’t do damage

This dodge works in exactly the same way as Costumed Freya’s.

  • DOT makers that don’t deal damage at the moment they cast their Special Skills can apply DOT 100%. DOT itself doesn’t work at the moment it is casted. It works at the end of the turn, so Costumed Freya’s dodge doesn’t work. BTW, some DOT makers hit first, and then applies DOT. In this case, there’s a possibility that they (enemies that have C. Freya’s dodge) dodge. I don’t know why. but it worked like that, anyway. Think about Matilda (or 1st Costumed Kelile). When she casts SS, there’s no direct damage at that moment. Her fiend & poison works at the end of the turn. So, enemies can’t dodge Matilda’s fiend & poison. On the other hand, Mr. Pengi (or Kelile & 2nd Costumed Kelile)) hits first and then gives frost damage. In this case, they can dodge both dealt damage by hitting and frost damage (status ailment).

  • Dispellers that don’t deal damage at the moment they cast their Special Skills can dispell it 100%. (ex) G. Chameleon, Melendor, etc. On the other hand, some dispellers hit first and then dispels (Seshat, Evelyn, Frida, G. Panther). In this case, they can dodge both of them. They can dodge even thier EDD, too. There’s one significant exception, and it is priority dispelling such as Louhi or Costumed Seshat (or Costumed Zimkitha & Costumed Evelyn). It can dispel Costumed Freya’s dodge 100% and then deal damage. I don’t know why it works like this, but it is true according to my tests.

Will reducing max health be dodged or not?

Thx

Oh that’s super clear thanks, yep I guess someone like Hypnos can also bypass dodge and then do damage. Unlike cKadilen that always seem to dodge both :grinning:

I think max health reduction itselt is nothing to do with “dealing damage”. But, what about Horus? He hit first and then make max health reductions for some turns, which is status ailment. In this case, they can dodge both of them. BTW, I think we need test here casue this is just my guess. :slight_smile:

Sha’s special is decent but nothing special imo. What gives the boost he needs to be pretty good is that passive:

This is pretty massive.

I don’t think so. Think about Evelyn. (1) Deal damage (2) EDD (3) dispelling. I remember there are some cases they dodge all 3 of them. If hitting is the first skill, they can dodge the other skills, too.

I remember I tested it out with Grimble. (1) removing minions (2) dealing damage. In this case, removing minion is 1st, so they can’t dodge it, but they dodged damage.

BTW, Sorry for my English. I’m not an English speaker. I hope you can understand what I mean. :slight_smile:
