Xiwangmu - 5* Fire / Red from Journey family

I won a match with shrub bear on my team, that must mean he is awesome too. If she were really good, you would be very quiet about it so she could be your secret weapon. Everyone, even many who are happy with her will admit that she could still use something else to make her good. She is ok, but brand new, featured cards should be better than ok when every other featured character can destroy entire teams. Im not even saying she needs to be that strong, but this is puny and pathetic for a featured card in the current meta.

No one will answer this question.

WILL IT RUIN THE BALANCE OF THE GAME IF THEY ADD A 20% HEAL TO ALL TEAMMATES EXCEPT HER?

If not, why not do it?

Aaaaand homa in action, again to show how good it’s one underwhelming hero, no matter if this post will be deleted I don’t care.

Deleted, i don’t even know if you are agreeing or not. If you think she is good, would it destroy the balance of the game to add a 20% heal to all allies except her? If it wouldn’t destroy the games ballance, why not do it? No one is asking for her to hit a dozen characters with 200% damage like other featured characters do, a taunt or a 20% heal for allies is all we were even talking about.

Sorry if you were agreeing, i just couldn’t tell.

You can see what I think about this hero in the balance trade for her

This it’s my suggestion for this hero.

Firstly we are not talking about individual wins but consistent performances.

This is my full raid history 15 wins 5 losses using her. 85% win record against many top teams. Cant think of too many heroes at 3/70 that would be able to pull that off

Secondly yes shrub is awesome even at 5* level. Felton is even better. The fact that you used shurb as an example kind od shows your inflexible approach to the game which is why you want your heroes OP.

Why in the world would i do that? Sharing how good she is doesnt make me any less effective in my gameplay
For better or worse im pretty passionate about this game and i always share when i find a hidden gem. Nothing worse then when you get a good hero and you dont play them because of some misguided negative feedback on the forum.

Thats a blatant lie and can br easily proved by scrolling up

She is much much better thab ok. I have a deep roster and she is easily one of my best and one of my.most fun to use heroes

It is the very thing that most people are against - buffing strong heroes. Buffs should ideally be saved for the heroes that really need it rather those that would be better with it (which is literally every hero in the game)

Ps - this is why shrub is so good at all levels. Still cant belireve you used him as an examplr of how you can win “even with shrub”

Bro, you just want to argue. Ive seen tons of people saying she needs something else. You need to scroll up, 5 of yall saying she is awesome doesn’t mean everyone loves her. I love that you guys like her. Please keep that love in mind when you set up your defense.

Shrub bear does stink. He is the worst taunt character in the game. He isn’t bad when you keep in mind that he is a 3*, but i don’t see him on any teams in my meta. Do you see a ton of shrub bear in your raids? I bet you do love him though, he does nothing but taunt. You apparently love characters that don’t do damage or help you win.

I do like good characters, as much as it costs to get a 5* to drop, they need to be better than this trash. I don’t pull most featured cards because i have garbage luck, so when i can’t get crazy strong cards no matter how much i spend, it does make me angry when a featured 5* does drop and she does no damage and her buffs are trash like this, yea it makes me angry. I typically won’t even summon in portals when they feature cards that stink like her, but covenant is the only way to get some cards like elementals, so i had to pull in it, and of course i get the garbage card that is a waste of space. I could find a way to use tenebrae easier than this stupid thing.

Even if this gameplay experience is valid (for you personally) based on different roster options that you have, or a small niche that is easily managed (which doesn’t seem the case for this hero), or different focus for defensive heroes, or different raid strategies other than dragging matches out till the final minute.
It’s still irrelevant.

Xiwangmu is not the “new project”
…you are!

Otherwise he would not quote you.
He would not reply to you.
He would just state the opposing view and move on.

This is why @Soulwarden was attacked first.
Verbiage like “trash” provides a reason to record videos all day long. It’s the fuel for chasing after internet validation.

Then in the name of saving poor other players from their own rosters, even those that want a small stat buff will become “new projects”

My advice:
Swallow the disappointment…
There will be more heroes that don’t work well for you. You will certainly get those ones.
There will be more creeps that break the game. You probably won’t get those ones.

You can demand a buff, but what they’ll give
…is a costume…
In the meantime, save your breath.
Save your time.
Make do with what you got because the next portal will have something much stronger.
Who knows… maybe you’ll get…

“lucky”

And stop caring about this hero that didn’t fit your gameplay. By the way… if you play long enough… one day you stop caring about the heroes that do fit. Because they all get left behind by tomorrow portals anyway.

Exactly, I don’t know why this particular hero has been given such a huge divide when she’s not the first hero that has been like this. As I have said it before, this is SG’s game, they’ll buff their heroes however they like. And don’t even expect the costume to be good either because of their recent track record

I could read responses like that all day long. Hell, I might re-read it just for fun. Bravo!

Moral of the story is, not all heroes are built to be the same. Why do you think they choose to buff the already strong construct heroes like gealach, brimstone and frond and leave out heroes that desperately needed a buff like tenebrae. They know, but they choose not to buff the needy ones.
The saying from Syndrome of ‘the incredibles’ goes along the lines of ‘when all heroes are special, no one is’ could be applied here. Which is why every portal needs to have at least a mok-arr/salmon/exeera/Set/ultrox, it’s to balance the quality of the heroes in the portal. If you draw these ‘not so great’ heroes, you are inclined to spend and spend again to get those other powerful heroes instead. They might be scummy, but they are certainly not fools.
So the only thing the average playerbase could do is to either adapt to the skills of the hero or move on to better heroes. Which is what the Pro-Xi movement is doing, making use of this hero’s skills to her fullest
This does not disregard the anti-xi’s feedback though. I see this divide as more of an argument between competitive and casual players. And the general concerns are justified as well. The fact that this hero gets this much traction from both sides also shows that this hero has potential to be great. It’s just not realised.
But must this potential be realised, honestly not the playerbase’s business to decide it. Only SG themselves can decide this

Because this card is garbage and it is frustrating hearing people pretend like this character couldn’t use a small buff to make her useable for something. Some of us don’t have every character, so it bothers us more when we finally get a 5* featured card to drop, and it is garbage, even when all the other featured cards are crazy strong, like luna, Sha Wujing, Shaal, Farah, etc. You guys are acting like a small buff would cause you physical pain.

To be clear, me and the other guy were talking about cool ways they should buff her when you guys started getting mad and insulting people. Why are you guys so eager to stop us from even talking about buffing her?

Ah yes, this is what keeps me from crying in disappointment while playing this game :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously though, taking this approach means all my summons surprises are good ones! As I don’t expect anything good anyway

I’m actually liking this idea. There should be something that encourages the best of the special to pop.

I remember when Tyr first came out. I used him to escape losses at the end of battles with his Revive. Very niche, but it helped in some instances.

At least someone else sees sense, used her again today at 3:70 and she is literally just a +crit hero of which as @Jwyatt469 mentioned there are far better heroes for.

I tried using her for titans at 3/70, she was a disappointment so i swiched her back out. I don’t see a use for her at all right now.

Haven’t tried her on titans but she’ll be just as useful as any other crit hero I suppose, outside of that she’s a wasted slot.

This hero really does need a buff. This hero is missing something to make her worthwhile.

Oh, did you beat one in a match? Well you must be right if one is capable of losing one match. I guess shaal stinks and the old lady must be a titan in the meta. Ill go wait for the meta to figure it out, because im not seeing her anywhere on defenses.
