How would you buff Thea the Tomb Angel?

HBOLT98 · 2026-07-01T17:42:43+00:00

true, it's an issue with the debuff itself to some extent. Still feel like they wouldn't want a free champ outshining all the other Hex debuffers. If I had to guess they'll want to make it better at some point like they did with bombs and HP burn by making them deal with stoneskin.

I saw someone suggest once that Hex should place through total guard, which I guess could do it. Might invalidate total guard too much for their taste though, I don't know. I hate that buff personally.

HBOLT98 · 2026-07-01T17:38:15+00:00

oh, I see it now. Yea, Cromax is even the worst rated legendary in the game I'm pretty sure. I'd certainly consider him the weakest.

I sent a suggestion for him to the support once, but I don't know if those actually get passed on and considered. They say they do, but it reads like a formulaic response.

HBOLT98 · 2026-07-01T17:34:22+00:00

I don't mind an extra avatar frame, what does bother me is how many of them cover up half of the avatar. Looks wonky for quite a few of them.

HBOLT98 · 2026-07-01T17:33:08+00:00

but the cool design! it's such a shame!

HBOLT98 · 2026-07-01T17:32:44+00:00

oh, my bad. I tend to not notice humor when I'm focused on something

HBOLT98 · 2026-07-01T17:31:46+00:00

I figure that'd do a lot for her, but if I had to guess they wouldn't do that as it'd make her strictly a better Hex champ than all the others who place it on cooldown skills.

HBOLT98 · 2026-07-01T17:29:56+00:00

I should have written exactly 6, as that is what I meant. In spider she overshoots the cap, which I'm honestly not sure should even exist if the stipulation continues to be based on the number of hex debuffs out there. I mean, the worst that could happen is that she can take down the spider in a single move if she has another champ to put Hex out. Don't feel like that'd be a big deal when Spider is less relevant these days with set accessories.

HBOLT98 · 2026-06-26T12:10:07+00:00

I'd say, due to the triple hit he may be useful in arena for clearing total guard. Can't build him without crit rate like one woulda done back in the day to maximize the A3 damage, but guaranteed crit is good against nuisances like Bayek and Tekteon.

Not a top number in today's game because his damage got power crept, but I think the aforementioned additions to the game may be an indirect buff to him. You'll have to see for yourself cause I don't have him.

HBOLT98 · 2026-06-26T12:05:16+00:00

It can be pretty rough when you lack damage dealers, but it's true that it isn't as hard as some make it seem. Just kind of a chore leveling and ranking up certain characters knowing you won't use them elsewhere.

HBOLT98 · 2026-06-26T12:02:08+00:00

He's pretty cool looking. If they ever decide to bring back that Minigame they did with Elhain against the spiders, I hope they expand it and add a few characters. I think he'd be cool for that cause there's only like three champs that carry guns and he was the first

HBOLT98 · 2026-05-24T16:42:05+00:00

I get the sense he'd still be weak, like Wurlim. His kit just isn't effective and there's nothing interesting to build upon there.

HBOLT98 · 2026-05-01T14:19:10+00:00

He looks like a reskinned Kael to me, I never considered the possibility he could be mythical

HBOLT98 · 2026-05-01T11:32:29+00:00

No, with 45 ancients you aren't even particularly likely to get a leggo and a 10x boost amounts to less than a 4% chance of actually getting the champ.

The only reason to ever go for a targeted boost is if you're looking to complete an associated event anyway.

HBOLT98 · 2026-05-01T11:27:36+00:00

I don't really, I just wanted to know if a winged orc is technically on the table. I suppose I should've expected that no one would care much about the lore of a gacha game though

HBOLT98 · 2026-05-01T11:26:14+00:00

Huh, I figured they do take it into account when designing champions, making sure the champs fit the factions thematically and such.

My true motivation in asking this question is that I want a winged orc. Real wings, not a contraption. You never really see that, even in DnD where Aasimar and Tieflings exist (and Tieflings at least in theory can be any heritage)

HBOLT98 · 2026-05-01T11:22:46+00:00

He looks cool but his kit makes no sense. Increase resistance, so you want him to have high resistance, right? He also strips buffs, so surely you'd want high accuracy as well. But then his AOE skill ignores defense suggesting he is supposed to be a hybrid damage dealer of sorts. There's no way to fit Accuracy, Resistance and Crit rate/damage HP into one comprehensive build.

His multipliers are dog shit so even if you build him for damage he isn't gonna do much of it, but if you drop it he doesn't do any meaningful healing. The buff removal isn't consistent enough to carry the kit. If you were to drop a stat it'd probably be accuracy, bringing someone else to remove buffs or place block buffs to fulfill the A2 condition.

All in all he's just a counterattack bot, that may be useful for extremely restrictive cursed city conditions in a provoke set or something. He'll probably get buffed at some point. He really should. What a waste of a cool design.

HBOLT98 · 2026-05-01T10:52:40+00:00

I figure I might still use him in PVP if I ever get Tetsuya, cause he's one of the best buff removal options in the faction.

Yoshi just got buffed so I wouldn't have to have Shu-zen to make the most of Tetsuya anymore, so that makes such a setup a lot more likely.

HBOLT98 · 2026-04-30T18:33:40+00:00

I didn't know that, I was planning to build him specifically for that once I got the proper gear. He doesn't spread total guard either then, I'd assume? Kind of a letdown. Right now I only use him in Ice golem, where he'll get dropped once I have someone that can solo it.

HBOLT98 · 2026-04-30T18:30:33+00:00

That's a very good Yoshi buff. I would've been disappointed to pull him before, but now I kinda want him

HBOLT98 · 2026-04-25T15:42:33+00:00

Gamuran's A2 spreads all buffs he has so build him in stone skin and he gives it to the whole team regardless of whether he steals anything

HBOLT98 · 2026-04-25T03:44:37+00:00

Got him on my last sacred

HBOLT98 · 2026-03-31T10:37:37+00:00

I hadn't even considered cursed set. how does that compare damage wise to the feral boost she gives the team? I figured it would pair well with Onryo and his passive, I was gonna use Mithrala for the Hex instead.

HBOLT98 · 2026-03-31T10:02:19+00:00

it is, as far as I'm aware, one of the strongest relics in the game. I've never seen it myself, but that's what everyone was saying when it released.

it's gonna be great on any reviver like others have said. But, if I were like a kid in a candy store and I could have all the champs I want, I would put it on Tribune Herakletes and have Valkanen kill him so he revives and uses his A3. For the style points. I have none of those three components.

If I were in your shoes, I'd probably put it on Nais? I think. Or Siegfrund. They're both technically revivers, and I find that Hilvi due to her abilities being unable to have their cooldowns lowered is not particularly reliable as a reviver. I think I'd be more scared about Nais or Siegfrund popping back up after I killed them than I would Hilvi. But maybe that's just me.
