    Gold Calvin

    I wanted to share an idea I had regarding implementing a new hero. It would be a hero that would be particularly useful against a formation with morale retention heroes in it, such as Blood, Pompei, Khan, King Theseus, and Scipio. Someone could run a formation without Herja or Ezekiel, and I predict that more heroes with morale retention will be added in the future. Why not make a hero useful against them? Flavius is useless against them. Calvin is weak.

    So here are a couple of suggestions. Feel free to say which you like, which you hate, and why!

    Golden Calvin: Same skill as Calvin, but would deal more damage and have better innate bonuses, such as +20 hit rating and +20 critical hit, or 25% physical and skill defence.

    Calvinistic Rhize: Similar to Calvin in damage output (i.e. weak), but sends his Will Breaker skill in a Piercing Thrust fashion.

    Calvinistic Prophet Petosiris: Similar to Calvin in damage output (i.e. weak), but sends his Will Breaker skill in a Smashing Cleave fashion.

    Calvinistic Dawnbringer: Similar to Calvin in damage output (i.e. weak), but sends his Will Breaker skill in a Sweeping Slash fashion.


    I understand that these heroes can be rather overpowered, but this is why I suggest that they be weak damage dealers, (except for the golden calvin, which is still a single hitter). I think this would add a bigger strategic dimension to battles, and it seems to be a natural strategic response to the morale retention heroes that are being added.

    I just thought of another:

    Calvinistic Queen Bryn: A mage that, instead of landing random stuns, lands random morale drains.

    I like the idea overall of having more will breakers, but we shouldn't have all of them because OP team of 6 calvins could exist. A will breaker/some kind of morale reducing skill scroll would be cool too.

    People could have a team of will breakers, but they would be dealing very little damage (less than the other heroes' physical damage. Think of Calvin's current damage. It's rather weak. I wouldn't have a team of such damage dealers.)

    But yes, I agree, there is no need to have all of them. Even two of them with Maria and Adam could be too OP. I was thinking of letting people argue which one they think is the best idea.

    I think the calvinistic rhize would be the best, but with a moral drain of 100, no more, no less. This might make a moral sainting a bit more useful and strategic. I would enjoy it.

    That would be a very good way to prevent him from being overpowered.

    If you want two Willbreakers you can use Percy and Calvin.

    But they are too weak. Moreover, you need more options than hitting the frontline. I guess that would be an argument against the gold calvin. I'd tend more towards the Calvinistic Rhize.
