It not only that expectations was high on Thanatos, but I really can’t see that he is at the level of today’s heroes.
Of course depending on what you have and what is in the queue, I wouldn’t waste any material on him. (Having almost all the heroes in game and being careful about materials)
Happy gaming
Off topic: I just bought the WoV roster offer after checking shop : stated 800 gems for +5.
Last I checked (last roster offer in Jan): it was 850.
It’s strange. Did Zynga move the goal post or did they delink the roster offer from shop purchase ? I hope it’s the latter cos 800 was what I had to pay before I started buying roster offers.
Check yours.
Me no have your deep roster. Any decent hero is a god send to me. Thanatos will be a welcome addition to my humble roster.
Should I get very lucky, and have options to choose from, I will bear in mind your advice. Thank you.
That’s strange, I don’t believe they delinked it because mine is 1150 and I believe it was previously 1100 until I started buying the roster offers 
It is right ? I will continue to monitor. It’s just odd. 800 to 850 then back to 800.
Maybe it’s a bug. What a superb bug this is.
They nerf this guy to the point of not worth summoning. Well play SG. Probably the worst 5* styx now. I am good with my second Melania.
I likely will lvl another Milena first before him. His 1st charge is a bit underwhelming.
I did the same but the first charge would be ok at 25% heal but 20% pretty trash compare to all of the monster they are releasing now.
Don’t worry. The pull rate will be probably low for this portal so he’ll get buffed before next occurrence of Styx.
I’m counting on that lol
I’m hoping a buff is in order. Thanatos is the one I had been waiting for since I first got a preview of that card from beta months ago. I was then disappointed when I saw the nerf at release. Of course I pulled him with just a few leftover tower tokens. I’ll likely level him up to 2.60 to test him out for myself, but damn… what could have been.
I have his 3 copies now😁
Here are my thoughts!
Why You all complain about Thanatos.
Only 9 tiles and You can charge each one Slow hero to 9 tiles and fire… Game over
Only 27% mana necessary to fire slow hero after 9 tiles. Thanatos 10% , Path 2 or 4%. You even don’t need Costume because Troops 7-15% enough
He gives AoE +24% mana generation at 6 tiles. On top he can also slow mana generation of enemy team and resist defense ailments, which is always great combo with healers. I will max mine, just now undecided whether ahead or after Cao Cao.
I think many are just disappointed because his pre-release version was much more powerful. Me, as someone who doesn’t have Xnolphod, am welcoming him. And with R&N they’ll be nasty.
his healing is low on the 2nd and 3rd charges
the nerfs he got on those charges wasn’t called for
he is useful but unnecessarily nerfed and sadly i got him too but won’t be a priority knowing Milena is coming
This hero makes no sense as is. A newly released hero with a second special that is significantly worse than xnolphod. I just dont understand what goes on in SG’s brains as they push out heroes.
Hmm, not sure I understand you here. Slow heroes need a 34% increase in Mana to fire at 9 tiles. What exactly are you referring to with the 27% Mana reference. I’m a bit confused 
Yeah I can understand the mixed opinions on him, and mostly valid points IMO.
@PlayForFun any chance you could create a balance thread topic for this hero?
