I usually keep at least one of each hero I get. Vlad is an exception, I fed all of Vlad I got away without even thinking of keeping one. He is just terrible, I dont even see that any reasonable buff can make him any better.
I kept and maxed two of him (it was supposed to be 4 copies of him) and was hoping he’d get some buff. He did way back but he still remained underwhelming. Will follow suit and feed him to other better heroes soon.
@PasasHill Do you still keep a copy of Tudan, Fletcher, Farid, Kenjiro, Brand, Sha Ji, Jenneth, Julius, Sigrunn, Olaf, Layla, Shaarkot, Derric, Toril, Jill, Zudak, Nash, Ragnhild, Slithus, Aife, Sharan, Hikaru, Brogan, Nightshade, Hou, Needler?
I am glad of that reply. Whew !! For a second there I thought you kept them and maxed them. I wonder if SG is giving rewards to those who have maxed every single copy of the heroes available in S1.
On topic, Vlad is a disappointing rare hero. Unlike most 3* heroes from different events, he doesn’t deserve the food and mats just to get maxed.
Really? I did at one time maxed Prisca and Karil in 2018. Fed them to other better heroes in early 2019. Punched myself when I discovered Karil’s costume version is usable with Nordri and other regular defense down heroes. Not much impressed with Prisca costume though although I have both their costumes.
No. Let’s take a situation where you have 3 Vlads. If they each hit they’ll do 65, 115, and 115 DoT respectively giving the target the max 295 damage over 5 turns or 59 damage per turn. Take a fairly common 3* like Bane who has 693 health. After 5 turns you won’t even take away half of his health.
Has anyone noticed that Vlad was updated with a new passive skill? 50% chance to steal the newest dispellable buff from random enemy, or if no buffs are available, 70% damage to all enemies. He’s very fast. Is 70% damage to all enemies at very fast on top of his active abilities redeem his usefulness?
The “new” passive is from two Morlovias ago and definitely not redeeming.
50% chance for 70% damage (and a buff steal) is basically a 35% damage to all. The DOT is still too low. When it was 100% chance it was a maybe, but at this point his stats are outdated too.
When Jack was released, I leveled one, and realized I didn’t like him that much. I eventually fed him away. Then they gave him the passive and I thought the passive was good enough to make him usable with Balthazar and Tyrum. Then the passive got nerfed. And I haven’t used Jack.
Now with additional S1 costumes, older heroes (like Jack and Vlad) are going to fall further and further behind.
the only reason I remember Vlad, is because he won my alliance a war once - I was using all 3*s on my last war hit, versus a defense that only had Sabina and Li Xiu left.
Vlad managed to survive Li’s hit with his gigantic (for the time) health stat, and he stole Sabina’s healing long enough for me to kill Sabina and Li with tiles!
but that was a long time ago, I’m pretty sure before emblems even… and a very unusual circumstance, haha
only reason Vlad was even in that attack team, was that I had nobody better
