Okay, so I'm a fairly new player. I hear about how Timerion is a MUST HAVE monster and is one of the best supporters in the game.

I finally got him and ran him up to level 50. Then I tested him out in the adventure maps with 2 other level 50 monsters.

So far, color me unimpressed. A couple of these abilities are not as good as I expected, based on the descriptions.

Stop Time: This one is good.

Cool downs activated: Never really shuts anyone down--it just weakens most monsters, as most monsters most devastating abilities have CD's. However, some monsters still have very good 0 CD abilities and, so this ability is really hit and miss.

Looped Damage: This one doesn't seem to do very much. My monsters still take full damage during the next turn, but the attacking monster gets a small percentage of damage reflected back on them (maybe 10-20%?) Am I doing something wrong here? This is all this ability does?

Space-Time: Only works 100% if Timerion is the last to attack before the enemy attacks. If my other two monsters attack after Timerion, they won't dodge the enemies next attack. This leaves Timerion the only monster benefitting from this ability. In this situation, enemy monsters can simply attack the other two monsters after Timerion uses space time to negate it's affects. I could set up Timerion to be the slowest of the three monsters, so this ability works for everyone in the team but who wants a slow denier?

I feel like I'm committing heresy or something for questioning the value of this monster but it doesn't look like Timerion is powerful enough to be on my "A" team. His abilities are a bit odd. Maybe I just haven't figured out how to use him correctly?

Space Time protects monsters until they get their turn. Imagine Timerion all speed, and the other two monsters say 2 team speed 1 strength. Or even 3 strength, for the sake of example. Your Tim goes first with Stop Time and then Space Time. The enemy monsters all go next - and can't hurt yours. Then they get their turns and do some killing. It is all about applying your mind to turn order.

Looped Damage means that your monsters reflect whatever targets them. If an enemy hits your strength carrying hitter, he uses the exact same move back - but with his own strength. He can do a LOT more damage than he takes. Denial reflects back too, of course. And all sorts of nifty synergies: eg Greedy Dragon gets an extra turn using Magnificent. Now if he has the Mirror active, he reflects that move - doing Magnificent twice, getting two extra turns. And so on.

Cooldowns Activated severely restricts what the opponents can do, and in some cases shuts them down completely.

Now add in the fact that he is immune to all status effects and cannot be denied apart from energy drain or an opposing Tim's Cooldowns Activated, and you begin to appreciate why he is the master of battlefield control.

I agree. I don't like timerion. Simply is an annoyance when fighting but not really deadly if you setup right on attack. All my monsters have a 0cd move. Mirror mirror then you attack weakest to take least damage and so on. Plus if you have thetys then stam drain still works. Each to their own I say. Pick your favourites.

Timerion isn't a defence monster, lol. He is for controlling the battlefield.

Yep, we generally find timerion easy to deal with if folks put them on defense, especially if they don't have one of his 0cd skills like the aoe daze. He is great on offense though.

@C0ntr1v3d fair enough but I like it even less on attack as just don't like playing a defensive style attack play. I go for more direct force. Demise plus voltaik as example. Don t need more control than that. But as I say. Each to their own.

@ibobs72 While I can understand your dislike of Timerion but your making a mistake claiming using him on offence is somehow a defensive tactic. Think of him more as a surgeon, he controls the enemy while his team wipes them out. He is NOT a defense monster least you choose to life rune him up.
