He' got a great kit for waves in FW and sin city, but he's not good for bosses, and I don't consider him much of an arena champ. He's good overall imo, but not 'must-have'

Agreed.  If he wasn't time limited no one would think twice about him.

I don't have him, and haven't made my mind up about grabbing him from this path yet, but isn't he suppossed to be strong for PVP?

His kit looks pretty good for it.  Even in the Mercurial meta.

Disagree. He's sort of a one trick pony

His a3 is great for taking out a single target, ignores stoneskin and block damage. But its also useless against a mercurial stack.

A2 tm redux and buff steal is nice, but again entirely countered by a single stack of total guard.


There's a reason you don't see him in the top 10 picks for arena, or top 20, ...or top 100

Can't say I disagree with your assessment, but I went ahead and grabbed him from the path anyway.

53 blues, 9 golds, 30 purples, and got a whole lot of nothing. Out of the 30 purples, I got only one Epic.

Brutal rates.  I went heavy on the training but I just wanted Titan points.  5* soul carried the soul chase though.

Getting nothing is par for the course for me.  

You skipped Edward?  I thought you never skipped time-limited toons?

I overshot getting the champ with training so popped a few shards to get soul as well.  Need to finish dd for the titan event as I only picked up 160 in path.

How would you have enough toons to train w/o pulling a bunch of shards?  

I did as much training as I could based on what I had sitting around and what I pulled.  By the end, all my 4 stars were L21, almost all my 3 stars were L15, and I had zero 1 & 2 stars left.

Dont skip fusions.  Don't mind missing time limited champs though id prefer to get them.

This is Trips here.  He probably had 18 S tier champs at level 1 in his vault.

I literally have almost nothing left to level to 60. I mean I do, but they will be champs nobody uses lol.

I make lots of chickens (and use those) mystery shards repeat... lots of uncommon 30s for the broadmaw rare fusions...

LOL. I limit myself to 12-15 of each at any given time.  You don't rank them up to 4*, so in terms of training pts, it is more efficient to make regular food.  Just my opinion, of course.  

I have fused so many of those Rares that I have had to start running Arcane Keep for the little potions.  Never thought I'd see the day that I ran out of littles....

I need to start doing this too.  Cheap points during chase are best points.

Chase points are worth the less efficient training points.  Having to farm potions is definitely not fun lol.

I certainly agree that the chase points are awesome.  I farm all the free fusions as much as possible.  Just don't see a need to hold more than a dozen of each of the uncommons at any given time.
