So the epics in this fusion are apparently going to be Mystic Priest Orn, which has the following skillset:
A1 - Spore Stick
Attack 1 enemy 2 times, each hit has a 30% chance (booked to 40%) of placing a 5% poison debuff for 2 turns
A2 - Erupting Growths - 4 Turn CD (booked to 3)
Attack 1 enemy 2 times, each hit has a 75% chance (booked to 100%) of instantly activating one 5% poison debuff on the target
A3 - The Colony Expands - 4 turn CD (booked to 3)
Attack all enemies, has a 75% chance (booked to 100%) of placing two 5% poison debuffs, and a 25% poison sensitivity debuff for 2 turns. Heals this champion by 5% of their Max HP for each Poison Debuff placed by this skill
Passive - Mycelium
Whenever a Poison debuff is activated on an enemy, increases this Champions HP and DEF by %. Stacks up to 25%. Resets each round
This champion looked like an amazing one on paper, and was essentially another Urogrim in that he brought poisons and self heal to the battle, essentially making him capable of solo farming content.
But then there appears to now be a nerf inbound, making his new kit look like:
A1 - Spore Stick
Attack 1 enemy 2 times, each hit has a 15% chance (booked to 25%) of placing a 5% poison debuff for 2 turns
A2 - Erupting Growths - 4 Turn CD (booked to 3)
Attack 1 enemy 2 times, each hit has a 75% chance (booked to 100%) of instantly activating one 5% poison debuff on the target
A3 - The Colony Expands - 4 turn CD (booked to 3)
Attack all enemies, has a 50% chance (booked to 75%) of placing two 5% poison debuffs, and a 25% poison sensitivity debuff for 2 turns. Heals this champion by 5% of their Max HP for each Poison Debuff placed by this skill
Passive - Mycelium
Whenever a Poison debuff is activated on an enemy, increases this Champions HP and DEF by %. Stacks up to 25%. Resets each round
I'll be honest in that I actually do think that a nerf was needed, and it was great that it was done before anyone actually got him, but it just baffles me how this got through so far in the release to begin with! Plarium really need to start hiring QA people that actually play the game..
In any event, I still think the champion could solo some content, but it would just take longer. Might still be worthwhile picking one up for those not doing the fusion
