Gameplay Changes-Maria

[Pirate_1360826]

Hi @all,

Usually I won’t talk much, but reading this thread makes my Head hurt.
So first the "you can all buy that one Hero" to change an unbalance is a bit senseless in my Eyes, it only revert the PvP balance but nothing else.
Don't know how much of you have already complete all Quest and Bosses, but for me that took Time and a Brain. Now many Players get that for 5$?

If I look at the Replays for G.Khan the Power needed to get him down is Joke.

If you all think it's a good Idea to make special Items only available for Coiners, then these game should become "Who get the biggest Card" and not a real PvP Game anymore.
Personally I play Games because it’s a Challenge for my Mind not for my Wallet.

Neriya here -- I beat Khan using Maria at 37M as you see above, but I LOST 80% of the battles. I actually used a different, Maria-less, formation to beat him at 39.1M. This other formation allowed me to WIN roughly 60% of the time. So a 2M power difference and dropping Maria isn't very hard to do. Maria isn't the reason low powers can beat him, the reason low powers can beat him is because Genghis's formation is an easy one to beat.

For those who want to try without Maria and low power, the key is a strong Queen Penth (as is the key with most bosses pre-Genghis). Maria should be tanky enough to survive a standard attack from Khan, and 3 standard attacks from his minions. The trick (unlike the replays you see, which focus on killing the enemy Maria asap, is to instead kill some of the minions so that Penth can survive their assault. The formation I used to spam-kill Khan is:

Herja x Flavius
Lancelot Blood Main
x x x
RESERVE: Queen Penth

The Bloodstorm and Lancelot combo allows you to smoke down an enemy unit or two just as Penth is coming into play. Flavius is safe top because enemy Maria can't hurt him, and since he attacks first Khan doesn't do his skill, neither does the shield unit in front of him. Flavius will skill every turn and prohibit all units from using their skill, except for Khan here and there (which by this point Penth can tank his skill anyway). The enemy Maria CANNOT sustain heal the damage your two hitters are dishing out.

Once the trash is killed, your units will then kill the enemy Maria, and continue on to kill Khan.

Things you will need: a Lightbringer set, minimum (2 is MUCH better, one for Flavius and one for Lancelot); around 95-100k health on Penth; strong offence on Blood/Lancelot (my Lance was critting for 350k to give an idea); a level 10 Dexterousness/Reliability rune on Penth; and a tonne of stamina.

Now stop complaining about Maria. Spend the bloody $5 and support Tynon or don't spend it and don't complain about people who DO spend it. She is just another tool to be utilized, and not the be-all and end-all of heroes.
