I want to address a question which was given by Milerstar1.
Milestar1 asked an amazing question which I would like to talk about.
Milestar1 question "Are any of the champions worth anything?"
I haven't talked about the heroes which come from the Battle Pass.
The main reason is because I have been waiting to collect them from the Battle Pass to try them out.
I reached level 60 on my Battle Pass a few days ago.
I own the following heroes from the Battle Pass:
- Frozen Banshee -------> Level 1
- Gravechill Killer --------> Level 50
- Ursine Ice Crusher ----> Level 30
- Ursine Ironhide ---------> Pulled him from a Shard ----> I will get a second copy of him at Level 90
- Stage Knight ------------> Level 60
- Frost King ---------------> I don't own, yet -----------------> I will get him at Level 100
I would like to answer Milestar question + give you peeps my opinion about these heroes.
I put Frozen Banshee in my Vault.
I am waiting for the game to Buff her or use her as a Fusion Material.
Any extra copies I get of Frozen Banshee will be 3 star chickens.
Why do I think she is trash? Because the game put to many restrictions on her.
FB can't put poison, unless you have Poison Sensitivity on target
FB can't put poison sensitivity because the chance is to low + you need other debuffs to increase chance.
Guess what? I'm not jumping thru hoops to get her to do poison - That is insane!
I have a Kael - Kael puts up poison with no problem
- Gravechill Killer = Insane for Beginners ---> Vault/Chicken for Everyone else
I think Gravechill will be insane for beginner players who are lacking poison hero's.
Gravechill can help increase your clan boss damage.
Gravechill can be a great hero to level up in the early game.
I think long term Gravechill will decline in awesomeness.
The longer your account is active - The more likely Gravechill will turn into a Vault Hero / 3 Star Chicken.
There are a lot of better poison heroes out in the game which can replace her.
The problem is you have to pull them from a Shard.
You have to keep things in perspective here.
Grave Chill is a Rare who does 2.5% poison.
The game has Epic & Legendary heroes who do 5% poison.
5% poison is better vs. 2.5% poison.
2.5% poison is better vs. 0 (nothing)
- Ursine Bears = I think they are Good
I am currently leveling these heroes.
I am going to make a team with them!
The Ursine Bears are very unorthodox.
Ursine Icecrusher ---> Reduces Damage Allies take --> Reduces Critical Rate -> Block Cooldown Skills
Ursine Ironhide ------> Reduces Turn Meter -------------> Reduces Attack ---------> Increase Skill Cooldowns
When I read these skills, I can only think of 1 way to describe what they are doing.
The Ursine Bears are trying to put people in a Bear Hug. lol
It sounds like a joke or something, but how else to describe it?
They are reducing damage - attack - critical rate - turn meter
- They don't want you to do a big hits on them.
- They don't want you to move 2 times before they move 1 time.
They are blocking your skill - increasing the cooldowns of your skills
- They don't want you to do your best skills.
- They don't want you to do your high damage dealing skills.
It seems like they are trying to put you in a very awkward spot.
The first place I want to test these bears out on is ARENA!
Some poor baster in arena is going to feel my Bears wrath.
Its kind of cynical & sadistic really!
Than I was thinking about other area's I can use these Bears in.
I was thinking about Faction Wars - My Skin walker team for Faction wars is bad.
I own all of the Rare for Skin walkers.
I own all of the Epics except 2 for Skin Walkers.
I own 0 Legendries for Skin Walkers
I feel like these 2 bears can be a huge bump to my team.
I have been thinking of strategies to make these bears work in my Faction War team.
I noticed I own Steelskull.
Steelskull is a Skin Walker hero who I have as level 60.
I use him for my Clan Boss team.
It got me to think about using the 2 Bears + Steelskull.
And that is when a Lightbulb moment came to me.
I have never seen a Status Condition Arena team.
I own 3 Arena Teams.
I own a Speed Nuking Team (Trying to 1 Shot enemy)
I own a Resistance team (Trying to Counter Speed Teams + 1 Shot them with return fire)
I own a Health Team (Stall team - Trying to make opponent quit fight)
I own these different teams, but I don't have a team which tries to win by Poisoning the enemy to death.
I feel like these 2 bears can help make a set up where I beat the opponent by using DoT (Damage Over Time).
it is a very unorthodox set up.
I haven't seen anyone do it.
Maybe, people have done it
Maybe, my arena refresh list is on the fritz.
I don't know
But I am thinking of a strategy to make it happen!
The problem is how am I going to be able to keep all of those debuffs up on the enemy?
Than another light bulb moment happened.
How do we keep debuffs on the clan boss?
Debuff Extension!!!
I'm making a Clan Boss team which has gone rogue for Arena.
And here is the shocking thing peeps.
There is a Skin Walker who can extend Debuffs!
Flesh Tearer is a hero I own from the Skin Walkers.
He can extend debuffs on all Enemies.
I think a Status Condition team can happen!
I also want to mention something.
I have a lot of Toxic gear.
I was thinking selling it for silver.
Most Tier Gear list + people I have talked with say the Toxic set isn't very good.
I have asked about it in the past.
Most people say to sell it for silver.
I'm thinking about putting the Toxic gears I won on all of these heroes!
What if I put Toxic gear on them to make the Status Condition dream team come true?
It is possible for me to get completely wrecked in Arena with this team, but I like to mix things up.
I have several teams.
Its fine
- Stag Knight = I think he is Average
Stag Knight A2 is completely amazing, but I hate everything else about him.
I have seen youtube videos of Stag Knight.
I have seen them youtube creators going berserker - OMG - Stag Knight is the best thing since sliced bread.
I feel like there is so much Hype on this hero.
I'm in the process of leveling my Stag Knight - Just to understand why there is so much hyped about him.
I hate his A1.
I hate his Passive.
I hate that he takes 12 Epic Tomes with only 2 Skills
I hate that his damage scales off Attack - When he literally has only 800 attack
I hate that his A2 has only 95% Chance - Forcing you to use Sniper in the Support Tree - What if we didn't want to go down Support Tree?
I hate that he has an amazing Design with mostly trash skills.
I hate that he is on the Loading Screen Fighting Wurlim the Frost King - And he is only Epic!
Why didn't they make this dude a Legendary?
He is fighting the Frost King who is a Leggo on the Loading Screen?
What the game has done to Stag Knight is an abomination!
Will I use him?
Yeah, I want to use him!
Look at that Shield - It is pulsating
You get this hero - You want to use him because he looks so cool
Arena - I am thinking of using Stag Knight for my Arena Speed Nuking team.
I have a hero who does Decrease Enemy Defense in my Speed Nuking team.
The problem is the hero I use (Spider) doesn't like to do the move on Auto.
I want to see if Stag Knight does his A2 on auto so I can make a swap.
Ice Golem - I am thinking of using Stag Knight in my Ice Golem team.
Ice Golem Stage 20 is Spirit Affinity.
Stag Knight is Spirit Affinity - He might do a good job there.
Faction Wars - The Banner Lords are so trash
He can help my Faction wars team for sure.
Clan Boss - I don't have a very good Attack Down hero.
I want to try Stag Knight out to see how he does.
I want to see how much damage he would do.
