What is the point to Costume boril?

Counter attack and Sturdiness

@DaveCozy

While higher defense does mean you counter less damage per hit, you can survive by taking more hits and thus keep countering damage for longer durations. That’s where the high defense helps

I agree 100%

This is why ZS nerfed Titanium Shield and 1* 1.1 heroes

You also want to consider the Defense stat, and HP, of the other 2x to 4x heroes getting counter attack buff

Dead heroes

Once a fragile hero dies on your team, they are no longer targeted by enemy special skills, and normal damage / tile damage / matching damage

This concentrates the attacks on fewer heroes

Counter attack nearby versus all

Counter attack all is helpful once one of the heroes next to Boril dies, since that immediately cuts

b.Boril counter attack from 3x 1.25 to 2x 1.25 ( effectively 3.75 for whole team to 2.5 for whole team )

c.Boril is cut from 5x 0.6 to 4x 0.6 ( effectively 3.0 for whole team to 2.4 for whole team )

FIN

20 quoted there is no Boril, er, I in team characters
