I guess this belongs more in the post about the current tournament. Now, I should figure out how to cross post w/out pointless duplication… or go to sleep
Oh, and pray to the L*RD RNG to get a full complement of defenses this week
It is already obvious that he is overpowered. I remember when Vela & Telly were announced as future HOTMs I (and many other people as well) had that feeling in mind that they will be great together and all of these future defenses were already planned for Telly at tank and Vela as flank.
With this wooden monster, it is even more obvious, because he can win the whole match alone. And if he is so good, that you want (and actually can) use him in regular raiding with 5* one thing becomes crystal clear.
I disagree. SG wants to maximize profit on the festival portal which is 3 times a year tops so getting Treevil is not that easy as getting Telly and Vela was in their time. They were nerfed because they were widely available heroes and very powerful together, i dont think they would nerf event heroes.
I am using him at the 5* raiding level and he is holding up very well. Typical team config is Luigi - D’Andre - Guillinbursiti (or C Sabina if facing taunters) - Lord Loki - Treevil.
If you face Prof Loki for example you have to time it so that she goes off and then you fire him. She will take forever to recharge at that stage. The other one to watch out for is Milena who can be a bit unpredictable. But there are also plenty of defenses with no healers let alone cleansers.
Despite him emblemed and Lb’d having the survivability of a 5* at 3/70 level, and being very slow - I think he is one of the very best heroes in the game at that top level, if you can put him in a team that helps him to survive long enough to fire. His special is more devastating than Alfrike’s.
3* rush tournaments will be nightmare, I have seen already a team in which there were 3 of them. Like Alfrike in 5* rush.
I was trying really hard to get him, done almost 20 pulls but get ony Jabber instead.
While my wife did half of the pulls and got him 3 times.
Yes, unless SGG would wait 'till Alfrike would make it into the Soul Exchange and see tournaments being flooded by Alfrike & Treevil to remove Rush Battles format from the game and make room to another rule to sell another kind of heroes.
As there is much Balance realted discussion here about this hero I have created a Hero Balance Discussion topic for this hero so that the Balance discussion can go there:
