📕 Ultrox – 5* Dark / Purple from Untold Tales

I get it, but I think it was fair. He has the potential to damage zero which is both a known but also a factor of his potential. My evaluation is still as initially in my post, and I use him exactly as that, part of a team.

He was nerfed almost 50% from Beta which was an entirely different breed and I just see him having more potential if he was a better stand-alone.

I think I divided the post carefully enough to state he requires planning for use, he’s not just a brute force attack, but has great potential. You just have to acquaint yourself with his abilities and passives.
I think the last comment is just me seeing him more complete if he was buffer or at least had a base attack.
My primary use for him is however damage reduction and counter attack, for sure!

Hope that brought a bit more nuance :wink:

I started to feed Ultrox, but changed my mind. My next purple hero who wins precious matts is 2C Obakan. Much more useful. Thanks all for posting here. Helped me decide Ultrox is garbage. Cheers !

I agree, he is unuseable in my meta as he is now. There are better counter attack options that have been out for over a year. Costume Sif puts this fella to shame. Hell id use the Costume Ciprian over this guy and he is 4 *. There is no reason to build a team around a guy who would be considered weak if he came out over a year ago. This character will be a booby prize in future portals if they don’t buff him in some way. People will be angry when he drops.

So, I ended up taking him to 2LB. He is not a common hero for sure, but if tried encountering him when his passives fire he Can be quite hard to take out, while reducing damage done on other heroes. Sitting comfortably around the 3000 mark changing out on the left wing position. I have Brimstone coming through in a week or two, so another change will be interesting as alternation with Cupido.

Sorry you 2lb him. Ive got him 1 1 . And every time I fight him, i try and leave as many purple tiles on the board just to see… and he hits me for like 200 to all. At slow
What a joke.

Meanwhile, let’s have shaal do 330% to everyone at average and then heal the whole frigging team for 700 or so hp… seems legit.

I hear you, but as discussed above, damage is not his primary ability. Damage reduction and counter attack is.

If you leave plenty of purple tiles, no way he is damaging 200, since each tile is a 27% percent hit. When his passive strikes at the same time as his base attack, he can hit around 1500. It is just not a sure thing. Changing tides alternates between fast and average mana speed mind you.
He really isn’t as bad as you make him :wink:

But for sure shaal is an animal. But he is a Yellow Sha Wujin. But with a Giant attack on all. He is already found in top teams!

In regards to Ultrox, I have him as tank and sit around 3000 cups, so as assistance to the team, he works :wink:

I have a 2lb Kepri as war tank. You think
Ultrox is better?

I’ve seen a lot of Ultrox tanks around recently, so am assuming he has more positive traits than
I’m reading on this thread?

Or some people only have that as a viable tank option. If he’s the best of a bad situation, then he will do, but he isn’t that great.

I still think he is good! If you can reduce incoming damage, you have a hard time taking down heroes with level 30 5* troops. Again, it is not about having 5 hard hitters, while that can also work, but a team that is difficult to penetrate.
But after the new 5* have come, he is maybe even more relevant!

If this reduction and counter attack was to all yes this hero will be good, in this form he it’s soul exchange material.

They havent really nerfed The op heroes lately

There is a costume of a 2 year old 4 star that does similar effects to him, but also generates mana for each counter attack (Ciprian). A brand new featured character shouldn’t have a better option at 4* while it is being featured, and it is 2 years old. I wasn’t saying no one can use him, feel free to put him in, just don’t blame me when you lose more after you swap C Ciprian out for him.

Are people still using this guy? Deciding whether to LB1 him or not…

No, regret lvling this guy to 80.

Ughhhhh damn now I regret working him up to lv80 as well :joy: Thought the counter attack would be useful because I don’t have cyprian costume.

Apparently, he was the best in beta, so much stronger than the others that he was adjusted on release to be one of the worst. Naturally, I got him on a single free pull.
