Xie Zi Jing - 5* Dark / Purple from Journey family

slightly?

imo strong hero on defense & also on attack - most often very fast dispell that cant miss & poison damage that cant be cleansed

that passive of getting mana for basically everything does the trick

did my 50 pulls for her or change - got lianna thanks SG you …

Could be actually stronger with other journey heroes

would rank 1 sha … 2 change’e 3 erlang (because of his Equalize impact slightly before) → 4 scorpion lady

rest is outdated & mostly unuseable

The dodge is still quite redundant because she doesn’t have skill damage, it’s mostly going to affect Dodgers like kadilen and bastet. And she’s still susceptible to blind.
Idk, if she’s slow to receive tiles, I feel that she will easily be overwhelmed. Although I would admit she is stronger now than the rest
Oh yes she’s also a DOT caster with priority dispel, which is quite useful against any ailment shields

Approximately 230 combined token/gem pulls across portals netted her;


A Thorne, Cao Cao, 5x the HotM.
Way below my expected for the # of pulls but I’ll count my blessings and since I have a new project, I’ll stop here.
Good luck everyone!

Why did you want this?

Sorry you had to do so many! I was trying to get Chang’e but after ~180 pulls I landed 3 HotM, Justice, Sartana and dupe Guan Yu. What luck! :laughing:

Can you beat this luck though?

Had 11 pulls saved on this portal, and on my 8th I got her. While maybe not the best hero in the portal, I’m not upset with getting her, especially with that few pulls

2514 damage over 6 turns undispellable at fast is pretty good tho

Once again a family bonus saves the day, without it she’s decent. Oh yes so she has a 50% chance to poison for 4 turns when she’s alone. Priority dispel first before DOT application, the only way you can deal with this is to resist her poison to begin with, which means only ailment shields or poison resist passives. Can’t even kitty/Goldie your way out of this

Wait, you can’t even ailment shield your way as well with heroes like Hathor…she dispels first, omg haha. Which means only aramis can block her nasty poison. So it’s only poison resist passives/gargoyles/aramis. Thank god they didn’t go make aramis’ ailment shield dispellable

Already seeing a XZJ at first position with the potentially uncleansable 6 turn poison damage

She looks like an unreasonable auntie unable to get her way at a market sale! She should be more beautiful but sly in looks…

And can’t SG make up their minds on how to name Chinese heroes? Either translate all or not. Nine-Headed Beast, but Xiong Shanjun and Xie Zi Jing? And the inconsistent spacing between the transliterated characters… Sheesh…

Maybe Jiu tou guai? It’s the only one who sounded off

Also the names are’t really a big deal. The only one I’m curious to know is how they would name sun wukong

I am not that familiar with all the demons/spirits in the Xiyouji, but a search online shows that there is a Jiutouchong (nine-headed worm, and related to one of the Dragon Kings) who apparently features as an enemy of Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen.

The bird aspect we see in Nine-Headed Beast is actually from a different mythological beast, the Nine-Headed Bird, jiutouniao.

I suspect SG just mashed the two into one entity, to make him more interesting or aesthetically pleasing. (Not that it’s a bad thing per se.)

Is nine an unlucky number in Chinese?

Anyways coming back to this scorpion spirit, I don’t think she supposed to be a literal half scorpion half woman like a freaking centaur.

No, it is generally considered a good number, because in Mandarin (and many other Chinese topolects), there is homophony with another character for ‘long time’, with signification of permanence/durability.

Also, it is the largest (single-digit) yang number, so it is a strong and auspicious number.
