Styx gave me Hypnos, and I’m currently maxing Garnet (4/79 at this moment). Both are excellent red 5* but serve radically different purposes.
However emblems and aethers are a bit limitating as always. I could max one (including LB) and let the other at +11 waiting for next emblems/aethers.
So… which one would you max +19 and then LB ? The health booster or the buff remover ?
Just a heads up, having just limit broken Garnet and bringing her to +19 from +11 because, she was not so sturdy in wars with players with developed rosters.
She is not bad, but can die rather easily, so a second healer would be quite useful.
This being said, I still think Hypnos is much more relevant in the current meta.
I use Garnet plenty and I haven’t limit broken her. My only 5* red healer and she goes into many raids with me. I went with health & defense nodes when embleming her and she seems to be sturdy enough without the LB.
Haven’t used Hypnos but he seems deadly and is probably the Styx hero I want the most. I would use him at a bit before deciding if he’s worth the limit break but I get the feeling he will be.
