Chakkoszrot

• Direct damage increased from 220% to 235%.
• Mana generation debuff increased from -34% to -54%. The ailment is now undispellable.
• Debuff durations increased from 3 to 4 turns.

Great counter to Odin, Ariel, Mica. But it is slow though…

@PlayForFun

@Gartenerbsen

Ah yes, I did not think about this! How do his random colours behave under the colour-restricted tourneys? Can he give the forbidden colour too?

I think yes, but I will test it if I can in the next weeks tournament if it will be a 5 star tournament with a non dark forbidden cllor.

[Math-Teacher]

Thanks for your continued information.

Been watching the new heroes for a while now and have come to the realisation that actually, if I were to pull one it would just be another bench warmer while I wait for the ascension mats.

There is actually no point in me even using the summons portals until some of my quality bench is fully levelled. So as interesting as some of these heroes are and as well as they synergize with the rest of my roster…I just need a faster flow of ascension mats before they really hold any interest for me.

I don’t have the biggest or best roster by any means, but it is decent and I hold my own. So for now I’m just plugging away at the heroes I have…

[Frans3000]

Where is better, critical for shield or increase attack for shield ?

[Nightmare2048]

I like Alexandrine a lot. She’s an average speed 5* blue healer with Jott’s key skill, basically like blue Rat. Her skill has also great synergy, because of course you want to have the most blue tiles on board to power them up. And has nice passives. Will try to hunt her down.

[CHENZ]

The only thing I am bit disappointed with Yunan Costume is…
The decrease Healing is gone…

[GengisDog]

What do you mean by broken? We don’t know attack stats but, damage aside, is a slow and very situational hero with a ridiculous elemental link

[GengisDog]

He/She is slow and that works only against few heroes, Ariel, Odin, Mica, toxicandra and alberich the first that come to my mind

[PlayForFun]

If you are doing critical damage then it dealing twice damage.
So let’s assume that the normal damage is X
Using this critical shields you can do: 2 * X * 0.54 + X * 0.46 damage = 1.54 * X damage
Using Jott’s attack up shields you can do 1.64 * X damage
So Jott’s shields are better, but the HoTM is a five star hero so maybe it is better in total…

@GengisDog

We don’t know attack stats but, damage aside, is a slow and very situational hero with a ridiculous elemental link

Here are the statistics

Hero	Attack	Defense	HP
Chakkoszrot	745	780	1355
Alexandrine	745	747	1423
Yunan costume	659	818	1506
Rana costume	767	748	1392
Salmon Loki	745	751	1376

[Photon]

What’s Rana’s and Yunan’s costume classes?

[PlayForFun]

Sorry, I forgot to write these earlier:
Rana costume: Cleric
Yunan costume: Paladin

[Photon]

cool. thanks for the info

[Math-Teacher]

Suuuuuuurrrrrreeeee.

[PlayForFun]

And even if I would be a moderator, then Guvnor and other moderators are doing much more good on the forum than me…

I have tested it on this week’s tournament.
@Gartenerbsen yes, the heroes can be changed to the forbidden element too.

BTW:
The testing of the current Beta build is closed. Staff indicated that it will reopen later this week.
(I suppose on Wendesday)

Hah! Thanks. That’s interesting!

[Guvnor]

Finally got around to updating/ building threads for V39.2 of beta.

Relevant/ Updated threads:

@Guvnor

• August 2021: Early information on the August 2021 HOTM – Chakkoszrot

• September 2021: Early information on the September 2021 HOTM – Alexandrine

• For all the information: Early Information on ROUND 4 Costumes [Part of The Beta Beat v36]

• Salmon Loki Info: 🧪 Early information on New Season 3 (Valhalla) Hero -- Salmon Loki (again)

Also there was one QoL style thing I missed in initial Beta Update:

@Guvnor

In V39.2 of Beta, another “QoL” style thing was added for testing:

• Hero Retrainings in the Hero Academy (Level 10) have a CHANCE to draw the heroe’s costume as a bonus draw (if there is one available)
• I believe the “bonus chance” is 5%

@Guvnor is there any draw back to this enhancement like more costs with HA? If not, then this isn’t bad but I feel the week period is too long and costs too much ham but at least this is a bonus.
