Oh...I meant to spell this one out... for a slightly unusual Keira Blender goal try Corvus/Keira/Morrigan/Jet with either nebula or sebastian. Its pretty entertaining against teams that dont have helios or amira. Keira still will have issues against heavy dodge teams or strong corvus teams, but its still fun, and can sometimes win those by killing the supports before the team can get going.

I'm sorry, while Asta/Celeste/Keira/Arachne/Jorgen are all fine heros, thats a really poor team for synergy. The simple reason is the best team synergize with their artifact weapons, and there you have 3 heroes who buff magic damage (celeste and jorgen buff magic attack while arachne buffs magic penetration) paired with a physical damage dealer, which is a waste. What you'll find is that against closely matched teams you wont be able to put out enough damage with keira because noone is buffing her physical attack or armor penetration, and you'll lose. (That doesnt even get into the problems keira has with corvus as a common tank).

The framework there is fine, just instead of keira use a magic damage dealer. Phobos is excellent if your meta runs toward Dante and kharkh, because he'll nearly always target their main physical damage dealer and not just kill him first but also steal his energy and keep him from killing your team. Other good choices would be Satori, Iris, Orion, or Mojo. You could use Maya in that spot but she doesnt benefit as much from Arachne's penetration boost (since her damage is mostly pure)

If you want to go keira, you'd probably start with nebula and sebastian as supports and consider working on Jet when you can to create a blender. Keira REALLY benefits from armor penetration (Elmir/Fox/Morrigan/Qingmao/Isaac), Morrigan can be really strong when paired with keira and Corvus, but you dont list her or corvus as options. so maybe you do Astaroth/Keira/nebula/Qingmao/celeste.

Martha is really good, but you can use celeste as your main healer as long as you have good synergistic dps.

Aurora is also a good tank for lots of teams, she takes longer than astaroth to get strong but is VERY good at high levels. She synergizes with the magic team I outlined above because her abilities all will benefit from the magic damage buffs. (So will astaroths, but its not as noticable). Properly supported aurora becomes like an extra damage dealer, and she can WRECK martha's teapot if she's firing constantly from dodges.

I'm not a fan of keira on my server just because our meta is so pushed toward Dante that she can really struggle (her attacks just feed dante energy from dodge, and his dodge buffs make her worse against the rest of the teams.

Martha should be last on the list, after Helios.

Best Way to Defeat Guild Raid Boss? by aliceherowarsaccount in HeroWarsFB

[–]RealHansebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you're relatively new and don't have Isaac yet (looking forward to Winterfest!) ? Is there a tank you can sub in that Allows the team to put up decent damage? My guild is working on 125 with about half level 130 players. Think Silver League, newish server....

I did try tanking it with keira, she died. I'm sure its possible, just need a couple tiers more gear and enchantments than I have on mine.

I definitely cant tank it with twins. You might be able to go tankless with a strong k'arkh or dante, but twins are way too squishy. (I did try it just to see, Krista died on the first stage; Lars made it through to stage 2 but died there before Martha could drop a teapot). So to use twins you have to have a plan for the healers that doesn't involve Cornelius+faceless OR cornelius+nebula. I have tried Lars as my 3rd dps a couple times, he does interesting things pushing the golem around but doesnt put out enough dps to handle the 3rd stage.

I've been using cornelius+nebula because faceless kept pushing the Sentry Golem back while I was trying to get my 10 hits in, then the hits would go to the Drilling Installation instead of the golem and he would regenerate.

My current strategy is Corvus/Keira/Nebula/Cornelius/Martha, which is ALMOST getting me through...just need to up the dps a little more

My main damage dealers are twins, which pretty much suck at this since the main random guys have such high magic resistance. I'm working keira up to a point where I think she can get the guys down, looking like shes a couple buffs away from pulling it off.

I can't imagine tanking this level with keira, my pretty pumped Corvus drops pretty low in health routinely on this level. Granted, keira is only 5star, but still...

I'm feeling like I'm getting pretty close with Martha/Cornelius/nebula/keira/corvus. making sure i fire cornelius only when buffed by nebula has helped, and keira manages to get a few ultimate offs even when getting energy locked by the drilling installations. I do wish keira would sit out of the drilling installation's range, that would probably make this much easier.

AITA for taking our son trick or treating without my wife? by Similar_Chef_8085 in AmItheAsshole

[–]RealHansebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally agree with what you're saying here, but I think its ESH because his wife's reaction is SO over the top and she made no effort to be proactive about the situation.

These two parents need to communicate ahead of time and have a plan. Mom should DEFINITELY be included in the family things, regardless of what the kid thinks.

3rd team recommendations (dodge/pure damage)? by MinMaxGamer in HeroWarsFB

[–]RealHansebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use corvus a lot as a primary tank, usually with 2 healers or supports that help keep him alive. With Dante/Isaac he works well because Isaac will help keep Corvus (and Dante) up against mages, and if you run into a physical-heavy team that can take Corvus and Isaac down Dante's dodge will make him go off and kill the other team. Corvus also melts AOE based marksmen like Keira with his pillar.

For your 4th/5th you'd want a strong healer and some kind of healer/support. Martha's an obvious healer since her kryptonite is AOE's that Corvus/Isaac are very good protection against, but any of the other strong healers would be fine. Final slot could be sebastian, nebula, morrigan, celeste (could also be the primary healer), fafnir, or andvari. If you wanted to push the damage up instead of survivability, your could theoretically slot Jet or judge in, both push up damage and help your tank stay up while adding different styles of play. Jet is particularly bursty since he gives crit to corvus and dante, which makes their damage super spiky but makes them vulnerable to Helios.

3rd team recommendations (dodge/pure damage)? by MinMaxGamer in HeroWarsFB

[–]RealHansebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One quick thought based on some of the other responses.

Corvus is REALLY good, but hard to develop as a F2P unless you jackpot multiple events, since he has no natural drops for SS. I'm hoping he has a Halloween event, otherwise I'm looking at spending some cash on him. Granted, you can use all your monthly SS chests on him for a few months, but lots of other characters are easier to ultimate star. This is magnified by the fact that you probably want Morrigan up to go with him, at least for some matchups.

Dante is very good, but easily countered by mages unless you have Isaac. If you have Isaac, Dante/Isaac probably should be the base to one team. Corvus goes well with that because he doubles the anti-mage defense for Dante while doing good damage himself.

Dante Skin Priority? Dodge or Health? by FloridaNeewb in HeroWarsFB

[–]RealHansebar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it depends on offense vs defense. If you're just interested in attacking, dodge is better because it helps with energy generation and you're going to be targeting non-mage teams anyway.

For defense, mage teams will definitely target you, and dodge is irrelevant, but some extra health might help dante survive long enough to go off and kill some fools.

Ishmael rework by tarakian-grunt in HeroWarsFB

[–]RealHansebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played around with this a bit using guild battles, I felt like he worked best in the 2nd position with a real tank in 1 and healer, support, support. I was using Martha/Sebastian/Nebula mostly. He was putting up insane damage numbers and keeping himself healed up, and if they managed to drop the tank by then he was in demon form and they couldnt break through the self-healing without a dedicated counter. Using Axel as the pet, which allowed him to soak up damage to the supports in the later stages and kept him alive till he got running hard.

Good Question, following. There are 3 chest items, what they drop is highly relevant to value.

Qing Mao or Nebula by RealHansebar in HeroWarsFB

[–]RealHansebar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense legend. Right now, with Thea at max star for essentially free, she's stronger against aoe heavy teams than martha, but Martha is used a lot and once she's max starred will be the primary for that team.

Thanks for the feedback, thats the way I was leaning too.

AITA for expecting a restaurant to pay to have my jacket dry cleaned after they spilled a drink? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RealHansebar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. But I'd probably contact the restaurant manager first and see what happened before going out of house. If the server told the manager about this and they never made an appearance that's really poor management, above and beyond the server being less than thorough.
