🧪 The Beta Beat (V51) – Contest of Elements, Monster Island, new Season 5 heroes, November HoTM, Superior Talents -- Sharing the Big Picture on What's Going on in Beta

[Domdom]

Are superior talents for Rare and Epic as well as Legendary?

Yes, they are added for Rare and Epic heroes too.

[Frans3000]

How about their costume ?

[PlayForFun]

Those are getting it too

[Frans3000]

[PlayForFun]

I will create a topic about these Superior Talents too.

[Frans3000]

What is family bonus of season 1 ?

[Ruskin505]

Classic family bonus:

Continuing the discussion from Version 51 Beta 3 - Build Notes [OPEN]:

@EmpiresPuzzles

Classic Family added for Classic (Season I) Heroes

• When 2/3/4/5 fully ascended Classic Heroes are teamed up, they get +1%/+3%/+5%/+7% Attack, Defense, and HP
• When a Classic Hero’s last (20th) Talent Node is reached, a Superior Talent comes into effect

[Quiet]

@Ruskin505

Sorcerer: 60% chance rather than 15%

Oof c.Kad just got an buff! (I’m happy) For fighters this superior talent thing is also very interesting, especially for Boldtusk! Also cJoon and cSartana are fighters, about those new costumes I’ve no idea what the emblem classes are for the heroes.

This is very welcome change, even a regular Marjana without a costume benefits very much from this as she then gives the dodge to nearby allies too.
