Hellcat's kinda a borderline case. I'd consider him support; if i put him on a team he's there for block damage, but he can smack pretty hard, and doesn't need to sacrifice support stats to do it either.

Who do you mean by CC? I'm drawing a blank. I assume you don't mean cheshire cat, who is just all damage, or corp cadaver who was only briefly relevant until he got nerfed

No, sorry, crowd control champs of various HP, DEF types.

Oh, derp. I misunderstood what you were asking. Yeah, I would definitely mix in a fair number of ccs and debuffers along with supports

Live  arena  is  once  in  a  bloodmoon. just  classic and  tag

HFWs  well  its  unlocked  and  I  never  made  it  past  the  first  boss  in  any  of  the  factions  so  just  auto  farming what  I  can  

Like  Trips  said  If  I  can  buy   the easy  button  and AUTO  =  Thats  PG  ....  But  that  does  not  mean  I  do  not  like  the  game  =  I  Love  Raid  -  I  just  play  differently  than  most ;)

oh  and  its  120K  energy  =   saving  that  for  a rainy  day  fusion

Building  out  my  second  Siphie  (took   her  out  vault) .  I  mean  how  can  2  Siphie  for  Grim Forest  be  a bad  idea?

I like that it isn't just picking us a team but still giving us a choice ultimately. That is a lot better than what it read like originally. 

I'm gonna need a tldr on this deck shit... I don't watch videos.  Looks like a time suck.

Sheesh better stock than me.  I did book Minaya for HFW but she's in my 21 farm too.  Also she might be halfway decent for Grim Forest support. 

Really depends on how you wanna build them.  There's enough better utility damage champs out there i tend more towards support setups in my builds for them. 

Agreed 100%.  I like thats there some RNG but youre not just totally gonna get blanked by a bad draft. 

Its the newest PvE content so it's definitely gonna be a time sucker. 

Maybe I'm not reading enough, but when does the new game mode kick off?

No launch time confirmed yet afaik.

But I'd say there's a pretty good chance it'll be the next update; if not this week then likely the next.

Outside chance, start of the new year.

I suspect this upcoming week probably after Siege.  Along with new fusion and likely Titan event. 

My  secret  mysterious  info  (not  to be  trusted)   

11th  Dec 

Grim Forest first thoughts...

i

I am going to impersonate @Trips and wait a month to let the smart/energetic players guide me.  

Do normal first then see what tips others have for hard before picking your decks

At least I think that is a good strategy 

well  if  you play  everyday  and do  as  much   as  you can then there is more  than enough  energy to  play both modes  FULLY  ;)
