I am debating to use tonics on him. Can you elaborate how you use him?

83

I used him primarily for charge 1 as he is just that, a charge 1 hero. Because of this he is more linear than the other magic heroes. And you can easily apply the 1 stack mana slow to the enemies.
It should also be noted that charge 2 can block all damage from the status effects in the game. Not just ailments, but status buffs. It’s not known if it’s a bug or just a wording error. But for now, he is a nice little hippo counter to protect 3 from the status buff damage
Of course he pairs very well against any DOT hero. DOT doesn’t just apply to the regular burn/poison damage. Any ailment that deals damage will be amped from telonius’ DOT amplifier. This includes heroes like carol etc. Quintin’s damage will increase from this, and also the meme fish himself, salmon loki
And because his effect is not considered a true damage amp, it can be further stacked by heroes like Franz/snowball/motega/hammertusk’s own damage amp. Stacking with Franz/hammertusk, will cause a 100% increase in DOT, making the set up well worth it.
The one thing I dislike about him is his passive. The 100% damage, in some situations does work, but generally would prefer a better passive

Wow are you sure? If so thats actually huge and his 2nd charge is more powerful than we thought? That would means status effect (buff and debuffs) can be blocked? That’s the likes of, Gullinbursti (everyone l’s fav piggy, Erlang Shen, and those fixed dmg after the special should be blocked?

Because if it works with all status dmg, then wording is wrong and the 2nd charge is actually really useful. If is a bug and should’ve just work on things like poison, DoT stuff then that’s weak.

I tested it out with S3 map gullin with his status buff damage. Yeah, it blocked. Same will apply to hippo. There’s also many claims here that he blocks hippo’s damage.
Yes Erlang included, it’s not just DOTs. As mentioned it’s any status effect, whether ailment or buff that deals damage

Holy! That make his 2nd charge actually very good on top of his great 1st charge.

This makes me want to test it with Erlang now myself. Tyvm for reporting this. I hope it is intentional, please don’t let it be bug


Because of its a bug then the 2nd charge is useless again :laughing:

Tested it, it does block Hippo, hard to display in Pic but notice the Hippo dmg icon.

Both Cinisia and Telonius are not even fully emblemed nor LB yet, so the dmg could probably be 600~ish per turn.

Exactly, he’s a hero that got screwed over because of a wording error

He is a very fast DOT dealer which adds a -5% mana debuff to all irrespective of taunt.
He can enhance all DOTs including his own (fires, water, sand etc) and skills if cards like earlang/ Quintin.
His 2nd skill is priceless in protecting himself and his nearby from Hippo/ Tremor/ Odete buffs and other regular DOTs and ailments.
I have faced him in defense few times and regretted immediately. Pair him with Matilda and you can see the entire team melt in 3 rounds.
He is not a fancy power monger, but he is powerfully deceptive.
I forgot to add Celinia or the green HOTM girl. I used them with Maat. when they fire game is over in 2 more turns

Well, his 2nd charge “could be good” (we don’t know if it’s bug or not), but it is still very clunky to use, is caster and nearby. I wish they reduce the heal but extend to all allied

91

Yum, I like this description :heart_eyes:

Yeah, I would agree as well. This will turn him into a niche relevant counter for any status effect damage.

Thank you all for those great answer. I think I will give him the tonics. He at first sight does not look like anything special but i think i could build something fun with it. I like the idea of having a char that lets you build an oldschool world of Warcraft affiliation lock shadow priest team (sorry for ot)

Appreciate the recent discussion. Pulled this guy on a fluke a couple of months ago, and thought he might have some sneaky potential for my FTP roster. This makes me feel better about moving ahead with him once I finish Kalo. I don’t have monsters like Erlang and Qunitin, but I’m thinking about a team with him, JF, and Vela to try and get some DoT going fast, maybe for a W3K team.

I’ve just pulled Aradia and I think pairing her with Telonius will be a nasty combo.

They couldn’t just honour this bug and do a text change on it? They have to fix this
this isn’t even an issue tbh.

Nearly gave him tonic last week too. Glad i held off.

101

He’s still a charge 1 hero. I rarely even use charge 2 to exploit the bug. So this ‘fix’ will not reduce my usage for him.
