New Fusion - Monday, July 3rd


i

I'm beyond excited to share some exclusive info that on Monday, July 3rd, we're planning to launch a Fusion event of a brand new Champion you'll see in the RAID: Call of the Arbiter limited animated series in just a bit, and that will be added to the game shortly after - Gnut.

Faction - Dwarves
Rarity - Legendary
Type - Defense
Affinity - Spirit

If you need some help in the Fire Knight's Castle, Gnut is a perfect match for both Normal and Hard Mode. Having 3 hits on his A1 allows Gnut to break Fire Knight's shield faster - same as the Counterattack on his A2 - and decrease his Turn Meter with each hit on a Normal Mode. And if we're talking about the Hard Mode, the ability to place a Freeze debuff will definitely be helpful.
He'll also come in handy with Hydra, thanks to his single-target attack A3 skill as its damage scales on his DEF and target's HP.
Quite an interesting Passive skill that allows Gnut to deal full damage and not just 75% when counterattacking.

Uh ... well, this guy is a must-have for FK H10, no question. In fact, I daresay he'll make hard FK absolutely effortless now - no need for any crazy teams with valk / cardiel etc, just run a team of this dude + speed people + ally attack people, and have him just keep the boss TM controlled with his 100% x3 freeze.

The A3 reducing DEF by 30% also makes him very strong for CB, and with the A2, pretty much an auto-include on Hydra too, especially since as a DEF-based champ it's quite possibly able to be built as a nuker for Hydra.

Looks like a pretty solid all-rounder. A good fusion to go for, and my first normal one I aim to complete. :)

Don't disregard the Enemy Max HP component of the A3 either.  

But absolutely must get for FK speed running, Hard and Normal both.

A2 and A3 makes him decent in general and useful for any boss content with the 30% defense reduction, and obviously the A1 makes him one of the more useful FK hard champs since I'm not aware of anyone else with a 100% freeze A1, let alone one that could proc 3 times (which should reduce the FK TM 3 times as well unless I've misunderstood how that works). Accuracy aura for dungeon should also help alleviate some of the accuracy issues without having to build specifically for it, or bring another accuracy aura or accuracy up in order to land those freezes. The counterattack and passive is a bit meh, unless the wording of the A1 means that the freeze applies if the enemy TM is empty and not just if it has immunity to TM decreases, in which case he'll have 3 shots at freezing whoever attacks him. I don't know how that particular interaction is coded so I can't say.

Hopefully I won't have to break bank to get him, but I'll be going for it.

Could have some usefulness in Arena on a control team but I think there are better options. Like others have said... great for FK.

Obviously very powerful champ.

But raid continues with its recent trend of extremely narrow boss design. First, they make FK hard extremely specific and difficult to beat, then they bring out a champ with a skill that exactly counters this one boss's kit. Eh. They should have fixed the balance problems on the boss side, instead of throwing us a "solution" to chase after.

Gnut is going to be good in other places other than FK, at least.

That said hard FK feels and has felt overtuned to me. Sole reason I haven't bothered despite having the champs for a long, long time.

I've got more than enough shards and champs for permanent fusions.  Tons of refills.  Just time limited this time but will figure it out for gnutz.

Fusion will begin some time after Clan Boss reset. Sometime in that 3-6 AM PST range, if I had to guess.
