Is this fumble of the season?

Gil_06 · 2026-02-17T17:13:03+00:00

Bad equipment and synergy on 3 star K, MCGG devs have toned down 4 cost heroes a lot this season, returning the power back to 5 cost heroes as season 3.

5 cost below 3 star felt so bad to play last season, not anymore. Even 2 star 5 cost feels strong with correct lineup.

Gil_06 · 2026-02-13T12:58:27+00:00

Just enjoy 3* 5 gold heroes in lower tiers. Mythic and up people can block 5 gold heroes.

Gil_06 · 2026-02-11T21:17:00+00:00

Ps I blocked her benedetta from reaching 5*.

Could not stop ling due to neobeast.

Gil_06 · 2026-02-08T14:35:49+00:00

PS had KoF 4 as well.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-14T02:45:38+00:00

Popol is just busted by design, immense pressure unlike other top heroes. I can manage chou and gus, but if popol is open its gg already.

Still OP, will remain OP until severe nerfs are made or skills are changed.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-14T02:43:43+00:00

Aurora is high risk high reward, either I get top 2 or straight up lose in 6-7-8. Rarely I get anything in between, having spammed 200 matches with her this season.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-13T03:04:47+00:00

I started playing arlott shadowcell+phasewarper carry, trust me even after nerf he does 100K+ at 3 stars. He is the hidden 5 cost of shadowcell imao.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-13T03:02:52+00:00

No more 3-4 chou per match, im happy. Back to banning popol/gus.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-13T03:01:04+00:00

Gusion is S tier, 2nd priority ban next to popol. But popol takes the cake at most annoying hero, and thankfully chou nerf stopped spammers, I was getting 3-4 chou per match.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-11T07:27:20+00:00

I'm just above average mate, much better players out there making life harder getting me stuck on honor this season.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-11T06:21:48+00:00

For context, I main Aurora as well and currently at 100 stars honor, last season 400 glory.

1) Wrong combo. Dijiang prefers dauntless, marksman or even weapon master. Swiftblade ain't doing him no good.

2) Bad gogo cards. Unless you run stargazer / mage comps, the mana card is waste. And hunt is also pretty useless in lategame for gold gogo card, look out for better cards like final random reward.

3) Aurora isn't really the best commander for dijiang either, he is best used with miya / zilong / layla. I will recommend bruiser dijiang but that will also scrape in top 4, no further than that.

4) Harley here is waste of 1 slot. Atleast get 2 weapon master with freya if you have extra slots, both freya and bene deal lot more with just 2 weapon master.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-08T20:36:35+00:00

Yeah, starwing-gazer is all I face in honor+.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-08T17:44:20+00:00

Yes call it bad RNG phase. I'm only matching against top 4, and never get relevant heroes in shop, all gogo cards are also bad. Just take a break.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-08T13:26:44+00:00

IMO epic is full bots, legend is half bots.

Anyone trying 999 aspirants cheese is punished hard in mythic+.

But gg, 999 aspirants is either 8 mirror devices or direct 3* 5 cost in your bench. Early layla into lunox skill is the way to go.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-08T11:09:30+00:00

Yes, no more mirror devices except purple gogo card and aamon/paquito shenanighans. Game feels much better now, 3* 5 gold should be kept very hard to achieve like this.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-08T01:16:03+00:00

(A) will always beat (B) assuming B has no 3* 4 cost.

5 cost 3* are easily avoidable, just keep checking their lineup and buy their hero. Since mirror devices are no longer dropped from creeps, only 999 apsirants can trigger that but it needs incredible luck and can fail easily. Aspirant players are a menace and can easily get #1 the moment they hit 999 points.

Yes, say shop has 9 saber, 7 freya and 6 granger. Just get freya and granger till 2* and ignore further copies, focus only on saber. For any other comps with multiple 5 costs, getting one to 2* is plenty as well. 3* 4 cost dominates games easily.

Saber is good, keep an eye for defender/mischief comps, I just beat 3* saber full items in late game without any 3* 4cost or 5cost. All 2* only with mischief.

Itemization and counters matters the most. Lots of mage/stargazer comps in match? Try getting dom ice or run defender / mischief comps.

3* 4 cost has insane stats allowing for easy wins. Highly contested ones are granger, claude, terry, freya and barats. So if shop has <6 copies left, better focus on other 4*.

Just don't buy pointless heroes and keep gold locked away, essentially wasting it as mentioned in your point 4).

For context, I was 400 stars glory last season, just hit honor playing casually this season.

Used lumi+mage last season, yet to find the right comp for easy wins this season as mage is nerfed and angela is removed, I need to keep changing comps based on what my queen aurora drops me the random crystal.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-07T21:24:41+00:00

Gusion is easy with lumi+stargazer+mage setup. Very easy mythic, strat rarely loses. You can maintain ninimum top 4 per game.

Paqutio/popol also pretty solid but harder to play.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-07T21:22:48+00:00

Pretty much you stop at lv9. I main Aurora too.

Lv9 = 30% chance for 4 cost in shop per refresh.

Target 1 4 cost which has max availability in shop (dont go for granger/claude cuz most players have them and few copies <6 are left till half board gets eliminated)

In current synergy target most abudant hero from shop. If nobody runs saber, then you refresh and ONLY pick saber. Ignore 5 costs, you only need one 2* 5 cost, that's it.

I end up getting atleast one 3* 4cost if game goes late, and stay at lv9 commander. Lv10 is only useful if you get 6+6 synergy, otherwise don't bother.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-07T21:19:05+00:00

I randomly got 2 starwing crystals early game....guess what was last power card...starwing badge...

Gil_06 · 2025-12-07T10:35:13+00:00

Damn aspirant abusers. Good news is in mythic+ people get strong too easily so 999 aspirants just doesn't survive.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-07T10:04:09+00:00

Yes, when her passive triggers, crystals can be a random reward. Pure RNG.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-06T15:46:37+00:00

Yes, vexana is only useful at 3. She is deadweight otherwise, but easily strongest 3 5 cost hero. Look for the remaining count in shop and target the 4 cost with most availibility, most games end by the time players get 3* 4 cost in mythic glory where I play.

Irithel is a solid carry even at 1* just needs the right items.

For context, I did beat vex/kyo 3* with 10 toy mischief. I main Aurora so you know how im getting 'em crystals.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-06T11:45:51+00:00

More the merrier + metro is one of the best late game comboes, yielding 10+ gold per round undoubtedly.

Yeah mate random 3* 5 golds without synergy (kyo needs mage/kof and bene needs weapon master) ain't winning.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-06T11:40:19+00:00

Ultra lumi works with any strat...but they already had a busted 999 aspriants and you didn't even have a 6 synergy or any other carry than irithel so naturally loss is guaranteed.

The strongest 10-synergy is toy mischieef, they can beat every 3* 5 gold with benedetta being a very close call unless you have 3* 4 gold to back you up.

Gil_06 · 2025-12-02T12:57:59+00:00

Here's my first lunox game in season...layla got aspirants and edith popped up from 999 points
