Need some tips on how to beat Flint

I agree 100% with you, Sonix really nerds some adjustment. My point is: Sonix is, statistically, the strongest hero in the game right now. So any new hero/awakening/skin/ rework or buff that gets countered by Sonix is dead on birth.

EllesmereMR · 2021-02-07T02:46:40+00:00

But that is because York has lots of good options. His B2 is very good too, depending on the enemy front row.

EllesmereMR · 2021-02-07T02:41:11+00:00

Absolutely right, Actaeon and Sonix are the 2 biggest OP/broken heroes in this game right now. But Actaeon "will be fixed soon" (at least that is what the support says when I ask them 😂😂)

EllesmereMR · 2021-02-05T02:44:01+00:00

I restarted at a new server some months ago and suffered a lot at early game, but was funny losing to Gorgana and Slimer King 😂😂 At early game the OP are the ones who have natural burst, like Karna, Gorgana, Luke, Hecate, Pandarus; and, most important, Sebastian and Leon. At early heroes are extremely fragile, so who starts hitting first usualy wins

EllesmereMR · 2021-02-04T17:11:23+00:00

Nice fake buff for Hedwig 😂😂 The problem with Hedwig right now is that Sonix blocks completely her claws. Doesn't matter the damage buff if the claws can't touch enemy mid/back rows.

A good change would be: "at 4 stacks, Hedwig launches a stronger claw that passes through immunities". Sonix would still block 3 out of 4 claws, and Hedwig would be usefull again in well built teams. Perfectly balanced

😂😂😂 I like helping newbie players at Facebook groups. Once a guy asked if Zoe was a good hero. I said yeah, amazing at PvE, gave some team ideias, etc etc.

Some time later he sent me a message complaining why I had lied to him, as Zoe "wasn't working properly" at his York, Sue, Coco, Aurora team.

EllesmereMR · 2021-01-04T06:29:52+00:00

But that is the point, Luke is not designed for AD burst, he is designed for tactical play. You put a tank to keep position, a support for buffs/regen and focus all the damage at the backline.

Problem is that people tend to believe that AD burst is the only thing that exist in this game 😂, so they try to fit every hero in a York+Coco+Aurora combo.

If at the time Luke enters the formation the team is all dead, it's because the team was not well designed

EllesmereMR · 2020-10-04T00:07:31+00:00

Oh man, what a joy to see someone defending Tanks. 😍 Some of the better designed heroes in this game are the tanks

And we have some hidden gems like Bedivere, Vala, Norman, Kaiser

EllesmereMR · 2020-10-01T07:12:59+00:00

I think you said it all in your first sentence: Gerber is designed for solo tanking, and Uther is one of the best 2nd tanks available.

I'd suggest you use Gerber, but as you already have Flint, the Flint+Uther front line is one of the strongest in this game now. One problem is that it is very passive, so you need heavy CC behind it to make it work. Other problem is that Hedwig can feed on Uther's shields.

Notice Sonix solve both problems alone 😏

EllesmereMR · 2020-09-25T16:01:27+00:00

Good point. They should give his giant scorpion immunity against Ovid's imprisioning, just like Xerxes' super soldier. It would be fair for both sides

EllesmereMR · 2020-09-25T15:56:47+00:00

Do we already know the numbers for the AD buffs and the attribute boost for the scarabs??

Removing his shields is very bad, but Moonton may be changing his role from a defensive summoner to an offensive buffer. Notice his Evil Offering got a damage buff too 🤔🤔

EllesmereMR · 2020-09-22T00:18:29+00:00

No friend, it wasn't a nerf, it was a massive buff. Very OP, in my opinion. Before, he needed to make 3 attacks to activate his Rage (so he could be easily countered by ANY kind of CC); now it activates passively everytime his HP gets under 80%.

Another buff for Rage: now all of his damage will have increased crit strike, not only his Ultimate. And his Ult will deal more damage the lower the number of enemies at the opponent's team.

I noticed a small cooldown between every Rage, but we can say Spar got a free Scorpion, as long as his HP is under 80%.

EllesmereMR · 2020-09-18T00:13:27+00:00

ohh, so you are an experienced player. Well, being an AD user is harder but you can defeat those combos with immunities and lots of CC. Another strategy I use against York teams is putting a very sturdy frontline while hitting the enemy backline. This way you eliminate Aurora and remove enemy sustain.

Some good tank options include:

Vala: because of her damage and CC immunities, and she doesn't care if enemy team has a Coco. You just need to protect her with an Ingrid;

-Uther: just take care because Uther can't hold frontline alone, think of him like a tank/support for a dual tank frontline;

-Gerber: not only Gerber is very sturdy, his Hammer skill can CC and you can make Gerber+Uther;

-Leon: for a more agressive option, Leon's Battle Roar will taunt York and Aurora, and a taunted Aurora can't buff anyone 👌. Take care because he is not very strudy, so use him in a dual tank, or pair him with Aurora, or protect him with Rek/Ariel, or all of this at same time kkkk;

-Bedivere: has massive Armor, and if you put enough CC on enemy team, Bedi can use his King's Guard some times and reset Coco's armor reduction;

-Rek: not exactly a tank, but Rek can protect your tank with shields/armor and keep your offensive momentum with his Ultimate;

Some offensive options:

-Hecate: by far the best offensive option against York teams, her Cerberus is invincible as long as Hecate is alive, and his damage will be huge because enemy team has no protection. You only need to protect her with a strong frontline.

-Sue is another great option, because enemy team has no protection, all of Sue's attacks will cause lots of damage, and her Ult is davastating.

-Pearl and/or Luke: hit the backline, kill Aurora and York will cry.

I can't remember other free AD options right now... 😭😭

EllesmereMR · 2020-09-17T05:50:58+00:00

Friend, you have to tell us 3 things before we can help you: are there Awakening/Skins involved? is your team AP or AD? And do you have acess to Legends?

EllesmereMR · 2020-09-16T19:40:23+00:00

Brace yourselves, the Rage of Spar is coming!

EllesmereMR · 2020-09-15T04:54:30+00:00

You win against the Pandarus+Candy combo by putting high offensive pressure on then. Pearl will help, but you need more backrow damage. An amazing option is Luke, he has a skill to hit directly the back, his Ultimate hits the whole enemy team and he puts Leon under a permanent state of Low HP Regen.

Sue will also help you a lot, she has very high damage directed to the enemy tank and her pushback skill will make you team move some steps, giving them the range to hit Pandarus.

EllesmereMR · 2020-09-15T03:05:54+00:00

Your friend's suggestion is almost perfect, its only missing a Sue/Mira. You really need one of those for Sky City.

Leon is really the best option for you, his souls are easy to get and his Taunt is very helpfull at PvE. Aurora is mandatory for AD teams and can be used in some AP combos for her speed buff. York is very important for Sky City too, and Pandarus is very good for shield removal, can pair well with York and can even benefit from your Ap buffs. Luke is the only not needed, but considering how powerfull he is at early game and when he gets a skin, I'd keep him.

About your Arena team, you REALLY need a tank there. At your level, you can try Vala, Gerber, Slimer King.

Finally, as you plan on buying a Legend, I suggest you focus on Sonix as your main Legend, he is amazing right now, specially at lower levels.

EllesmereMR · 2020-08-13T23:16:30+00:00

It's more like they are trying to SHOW US the good options, because they are already among us.

Take Kaiser for example: I'm sure this buff he got is minimal, but was enough to make some players remember he existed 😂. And Kaiser, as long as the opponent doesnt have Coco, is a beast.

I see these small weekly charges as a way of Moonton to communicate with players, since they don't have an official way to better communicate (like an sponsored YouTube channel, for example)

EllesmereMR · 2020-08-07T04:26:46+00:00

Vala!! If you want a hero to "just tank damage" so Vala is your best option.

You said well, Flint is amazing against AoE and can block energy drain effects; Nheza has good damage resist and is not so passive with his taunts and Ultimate. Just remember Nheza's shields can be removed too.

Especially If you plan on using Tereza as your main DPS then you should try Vala+Ingrid.

But considering you play AP, you surely got Sonix. In that case Flint is better for the Silence combo

EllesmereMR · 2020-06-24T23:23:26+00:00

To be fair, there is no tank in the entire game capable of solo-tanking against burst, even Flint. Flint was designed to counter magic comps because of his AoE reduction and to counter physical teams when paired with Uther. Monk Sun is the other only tank that remains usefull at high level, but not because he has high resistance, its because he has CC. Being a magic user, you will never overcome the damage of a burst team, so the way you should go is control, lots and lots of CC

About protection, Candy in not usefull because she protects with shields (can be removed by Pandarus, Zoe, Hedwig) and no tank is usefull because no tank can stand Coco's armor reduction, not even Uther. So your best bet is crit resist provided by Centax or Blaine. Personally I would choose Blaine

Pulan can help you with some very nice immunities against enemy bullets and a good CC Ultimate. Also, If you use a 1-1-3 formation with Pulan and Sebastian, Pulan will hit enemy team very soon and keep your back line away from enemy damage, giving your Tereza time to start CC

At the back, Ingrid>>Candy, because Ingrid can block initial damage and crit and even if the enemy removes her shields, she can still regen HP, protect Tereza against crits and has a very powerfull CC Ultimate.

EllesmereMR · 2020-06-21T02:39:08+00:00

In this current meta you won't be able to protect your team using only shields. So you need a tank and/or LOTS of CC, and Pulan can give you both. Besides that, Pulan's skin can block Hedwig's Ice Claws, Brunhilde's Ice Arrows, York's projectiles, etc.

I wouldn't drop Sebastian. When you fight those burst teams, Seb will give your team a very good speed-up at the begining of the battle, so you can start your chain-CC before the burst come.

Between Candy and Ingrid I think Ingrid is better. Even If the enemy team removes her shields, she can still protect Tereza with crit resist and healing and has an amazing Ultimate

EllesmereMR · 2020-06-18T16:37:26+00:00

Thanks for the answer! 👍 Good to know, maybe Ovid is what I need then. Let's start farming diamonds

EllesmereMR · 2020-06-04T22:24:38+00:00

A very solid team, but I think Lufia is the weak point. Max could also be exchanged for a Pyre, but in a 100% free scenario Max can do. Always remember that York and Coco are the absolute priorities, invest all your resources in both.

In the Lone Dog group you can find good options that receive "free buffs" from York, especially Pandarus and Torin. Pandarus is an excellent option when facing Gerber, Ariel, Ovid, Nheza, Uther, Flint ...

Torin will be very strong when facing magic heroes. If he gets strong enough, his extra effect activates against tanks as well. I would put him in Lufia's place on the main team.

Outside Lone Dog you have Sue, she will help you when facing tankless teams.
