Okay I lied. Spent a pile more to get the soul too. Finished my first guardian hall~

😆 

Holy Smokes. You thought Esme was worth another 13 golds to get the 5*?

How many golds were you sitting on?

Yeah I think she is going to fit absolutely perfectly into my Trunda team. I had 30 yellows before, down to around 12 now.

I do think Esme will be a viable Hydra support, but I don't think her 5* is worth 13 Golds. I have 23, so I could do it, but I won't.  

I use Ugir the wyrmeater on my hard team, and I think Esme will be an improvement over him.

Esme has a aoe block buffs, whereas Ugir's is single target.

Otoh, Ugir's is on his a1. Other than that, they're nearly identical champs

Esme has a speed aura and a speed buff.  I'd say that makes her substanially different.  

Do you use Ugir anywhere else?  I have used him in Sintranos, but have never invested the books in him to do much else.

Derp. Excellent point about speed. I use Elva on that team so I didn't think about it.

Ugir I use just in hydra and sin city. I like him a lot, but I already have teams for everything else

Yall are missing the main reason to use her.

50% TM buff when she gets hit, to the highest atk champ, means I can put Trunda in zero speed, and rely on her passive to just cheat turns with her.

Erm, yes, yes I was totally missing that for some reason.

Now I'm glad I put in the effort to finish DD just before the clock ran out.

Still pissed about how high the reqs are for heros path.

Hmm, do Refresh accessories work on passive skills with active component cooldowns?

This is a weird place to ask that question, but since you did, what about Reflex & Merciless gear on those as well?

I'd assume the answer to all of those questions is yes. Though none of that is relevant for Esme, since her passive/active has a 1-turn CD.

15 Frags; 7001 Points: 3 Sacreds, 41 Ancients, plus a decent amount of grinding dungeons & campaign for the Dragon Tourney and the monthly 500.  

And, I pulled Sicia, who I had chosen as my 15X Boost Toon.  

That catch being that those would activate on Emse's turn, whereas refresh accessories prevent a skill from going on cooldown in the first place.

What I'm hoping for, but not expecting, is that Refresh (with lucky rng)  would let her passive proc multiple times before she gets her turn again.
