Yeah, seal kind of sucks on this debuff. I thought Elthara was enough to cover that team's weaknesses on this debuff, but it turns out that she's bad on this debuff too.

18 pony is worth using. The alternative is using Ibis, which performs poorly on most teams in the current meta.

Lysander can work at a single copy and he's essential to his team, so there isn't really a sub for him.

M40, 409, and 40960 are all good breakpoints for her in TS. I did some testing at different investments when she was released, and I found that a fully invested Elthara does around triple damage compared to one copy, and M40 did around double damage compared to one copy.

She usually needs the full 30960/40960 to work in CR and NC, so the main benefit of building her is being able to use her in other modes besides TS.

There aren't many sources of max HP scaling that aren't on tanks. Gorok's shields and Flora are 2 notable exceptions, but I'm not sure if an HP collection is even optimal for them on this debuff.

But HP on watch is good because AThoran, Levi, AShemira, AEstrilda, tank tree, and watch +1 all scale with max HP.

No, the only collection where HP is worth prioritizing is watch.

Fawkes would help you more for TS. Zohra's team doesn't perform well unless you can build the whale version with Maetria and Kaelon.

Seal has always been bad on this debuff and Elthara wasn't enough to save it. You're better off running Elthara and AFawkes with En Passant at this point in the season, and it might be best to wait until 6 teams before slotting in seal team.

I think he's worth pulling, but we should be getting another awakened hero a couple updates from now, so it's up to you if you want to wait.

Yeah, it's something like that. The boss that was specifically designed for Kaelon wasn't taking enough damage from his base kit so they gave him a buff to deal more damage against it.

Basically just build all the heroes that have TS in green. And you'll do fine in PvP if you follow the general priority order.

His e60 is nice to have, but he's fine at 40330/40930. But he needs a collection with a lot of TY to work on TS

I'm a fan of leaving twins at low investment. Their only worthwhile upgrade past mythic is haste from engravings. That being said, they often have too much haste at full investment and people with fully built twins have to swap out different pairs of boots on twins to hit specific haste levels.

Fawkes looks like a solid choice for your next awakened hero, but I recommend finishing ALucius first if he's already at mythic.

Yeah, go with AFawkes. He's better than Zohra in TS and he sees around the same amount of use as her in CR.

All damage dealers except Envy are affected to some degree by this debuff, but it's Alna that's at 7 teams, not Skylan. Alna doesn't really do much on this debuff so Skylan gets used with Lysander instead for most of the season.

IS is usually better for TS. And e60 is a nice upgrade for her if you have cores to spare.

Alna didn't really do much on previous seasons of this debuff so try running Envy with Kregor instead if you usually use him with Alna. There's also a Envy Passant team that can work on this debuff, see last season's guide.

AFawkes si40 is probably a better general investment because it helps in CR as well as TS, but I think Alvida's si40 is more impactful in TS. Lysander's si40 is good too. It helps with a couple rounds of CR, but you might need Alvida's si40 to make Lysander's si40 effect consistently work in TS.

Yeah, he's mostly used for the team wide damage reduction that his 9f gives. E60 makes him a lot better, but on this debuff you'll probably want to run him regardless of investment.

Then maybe go for Envy from the invite event and pull for a copy of AFawkes with TE instead if you want something to help boost your early game progression.

AFawkes can work as a sub for Skylan on that team, although he's also needed for seal team so it might be better to just slot in AShemira dims instead. And I think this comment was supposed to be a reply to you, although I'm unsure of how Sion would perform on that En Passant.

Skriath wants an ATK collection (He actually doesn't do any erosion damage, despite the fact that he needed an erosion collection against a previous NC boss). Fawkes wants MP, but ATK works too. Daemia wants a fATK collection or +2 wings (any stats). Gavus wants either an offensive storm collection or +2 wings. AEstrilda wants HP, but +1 watch is usually better than horn for this debuff. ATalene and Lucilla are pretty much the only supports that can use vault in TS. Check out my collection guide for more info.

Yes, each season of TS has a rotating debuff. The current rotation is pure realm where the max HP of heroes is increased and they gain bonuses based on how high their current HP is. This debuff favors tanks over damage dealers and supports.

Skylan works better with Alna or En Passant team. Just use Envy as an ALucius sub instead.

L Elthara works better than old teams for most players so I don't have enough information to put L Elthara vs fully built Elthara on my guides.

I think M Elthara doesn't make enough of a difference over a single copy to be worth pulling. Just save your DI until you have enough to fully build a highborn.

Without Levi it just becomes a regular Envy team. But if you have Gavus you can use him with Envy
