I just got my 12th tonic so i can play around a lil. Should i pull the trigger on the irritating goblin ballon guy or would you rather level someone like a vanilla kadilen? Roster doesnt matter this level up would be for depth.
From what I understand Zoccās SS is extremely useful against bosses or the last stages of the Ninja Tower.
I generally use Alfrike on tanks but I would appreciate having a sniper casting mindless attack at average speed against most bosses especially in Season 3.
If I were you Iād max Zocc without a blink. But it depends on who else youāve got.

Thats the thing at first everybody hated zocc and every since hes been popping up more and more in raids i decided to search deeper. He seems very viable now
Iāve liked him from the start. Yes he is great in pve but he is absolutely invaluable in my raiding and if I could level 6 of him for war teams I would. Shuts down specials even if rogue dodged and letās you tile dump into tanks especially if fast (2 mindless attacks can be coaxed out, which when combined with his base damage equates to a full snipe damage at least). Particularly useful against ninjas

I was thinking along those lines but you put it in plain mans terms thanks
You have got me reassessing him. I would love to see his mindless attack on an Alfrike tank. That would be sweet.
I increasingly value my Zocc in raids.
The new reverse formation in particular is causing me vexation - itās really helpful to be able to attack one side of the board and keep another hero quiet on the other side.
People do point out that heās risky against clerics and monks, but with dodging rogues and ninjas, resurrecting fighters etc there are far fewer āsafeā shots throughout the game.

Monks and clerics are āriskyā. So I do avoid these when I can - on occasion I will try to shut down one of these, and on even rarer occasion this backfires on me. It is probably worth looking at (some of) the heroes you can totally shut down with 0 risk:
- Frigg (dodging will only avoid the damage, not the mindless attack)
- Any ninja (I think - at least the high damage dealing ones)
- Finley
- Odin
- Killhare
- C Kad
- GM
- Vela
- JF
- Ursena
- Krampus
- Tel
- Freya
- Sif
- etc, etc.
My Zocc is absolutely invaluable in shutting down the most dangerous enemy special

I like my Zocc no regrets in maxing him.
Regarding clerics and monks I fire him at them when the special is ready/almost ready, so if it gets resisted, they wouldāve fitted the special anyway next turn anyway.
He is also effective against the rare unicorn Titan!

Zocc is part of my green team. He is very good. Mana control is one my favorite skill.
Also before on blue titans I was using mikki evelyn buddy lianna and alberich. Now I am using tarlak evelyn buddy lianna and zocc. It also work better for Unicorns

Well, the sum of it all. Really. I rate him and Margaret at the bottom of all nature HOTMs when released. I even fnd Bertila better in certain conditions. I want to wipe out that smug smile of his, which you always see hovering on your Stronghold.
But then again, I do understand that most players donāt have the same luck when summoning and the same heroes and troops. I guess players can ascend him, if there are no better alternatives and that there are tons of ascension materials idle.
Maybe greens are just spoiled! 
Iād suggest that heās more useable in raids than Zulag, Thoth, Noor (donāt hit me @Homaclese), Ranvir, Perseus, Greg, Mush or Ares.
And particularly good against ninjaās

I love him against titans. Especially the ones that have time consuming specials. Gives more time to hit it with shields.

Yeah. Well, making the titan hit himself due to Mindless Attack is a cool thing to see. Even my 3/70 Zocc can do that. But we all know that heroesā special damaging skills matter little on titans as it is the tile damage that governs it. For a player to score big against blue titans, it is my humble opinion that such team should be composed of Tarlak, Frigg, Evelyn, Gregorion and Ratatoskr. I donāt have Tarlak and Frigg and my squirrel is still at 3/70 so what do I know. But still, Zocc aināt in my book for better titan scoring.

I go Evelyn - Liana - Zocc - buddy - squirrel/Wu
I think Zocc potentially saves 2 seconds per animation, so maybe up to six in total.b
Almur is also a great new 4* sub for the Evelynless.

Can you direct me to a thread where costume Brienne as a better alternative to Buddy (who I am using against blue titans but his minions take my precious seconds). Her defense down should be better than Frigg, capping at -65%, like Athena does. If none, I guess I am gonna emblem costumed Brienne and check for myself.
I am facing the Zocc or not to Zocc question as well. I have 6 tonics, but have held off on pulling the trigger. Right now it is between him and Bertila. Maybe Iāll wait until the next costume chamber to see if cKadilen pops up. But I have been reading incresingly good press on Zoccā¦
Already maxed are Heimdall, LotL, Francine, Elkanen, Lianna, Lady Locke and Kingston.
Greens are my hardest because I have lots of greens Iād like to max over other colors where I have mats. I just did Kingston, and I have Heimdall, Tarlak and Telly finished. CKadilen and Zocc at 3/70 and Toxicandra and Bertilla waiting to start on.
Iām the same @Shunt. This game just gives me masses of Green 5* and I do really like Zocc (I use Merlin a lot, especially in Rush raid/war) so that level of mana control is something I have experience in using 
But every-time I get near that ascension question BOOMā¦a new 5* green lands and gives me headaches. I was all set to ascend Bertila first (I really need a hit all thatās decent in green) and then I got Friggā¦so she got the tonics and poor Zocc stays at 3-70.
I have G.Chameleon, Ratatoskr, Bertila & Zocc all sat at 3-70 now and Iād happily ascend all of themā¦
