Can someone who has purchased Faraday or perhaps @Carlos explain how Faraday's trait works? It's impossible to test in the demo.

The main thing I'm wondering is if you need to attack Faraday for his trait to activate or is it activated whenever a skill with an extra turn is used. This is a pretty important distinction because in one scenario you'd be able to kill the rest of his team with Voltaik/Zyla, but would want to stop before getting to him. In the other case, there's not much you could do against the entire team. It would also matter for monsters who have skills that give a self a boost and get to go again like Greedy Dragon, Barbatos, Krugbo, etc.

Also, what is the order of skills supposed to be? I've heard some reports of this maybe not working as expected based on the speeds of the monsters. Is it supposed to be like this? -
Voltaik attacks, Faraday gets to attack, Voltaik gets his extra turn
Or:
Voltaik tries to attack, but Faraday gets to go right away, then Voltaik gets to take his original turn
Or:
Voltaik attacks, Voltaik gets his extra turn if he's faster, Faraday gets to attack
Or:
Voltaik attacks, Faraday gets to go, Voltaik doesn't get his extra turn

There is a video that shows Faraday's trait kicking in, but Voltaik dies, so you can't tell from that, either.

Voltaik attacks. Then when his extra turn triggers, it also triggers anticipation. Both Faraday and Volt get an extra turn, with Faraday's first in the turn order.

So, @Boris

1. Volt attacks (attack resolves)
2. Faraday gets an anticipation turn
3. Volt gets his extra turn
4. Volt attacks (attack resolves)
5. Faraday gets an anticipation turn
6. Volt gets his extra turn.....
   Repeat.

Anticipation triggers every time any opponent uses any extra turn skill regardless of the target. Timerion Stop Time - stops his target, then he gets his extra turn, with Faraday jumping in first. Ditto Shallinar Inner Fire, Samael Warrior, Demise Strength from Beyond etc.

...... Anyone wondering what happens when you have 2 Faradays facing off against each other, and the Voltaik on your team goes first?

@Boro-Wing said in Faraday's trait - how does it work?:

Yes, I am wondering. And when you have two on the same team. And when one is possessed and either team uses an extra turn...

@C0ntr1v3d You would have thought SP have tested this possible scenario lol, but then again maybe not...

@Boro-Wing the world explodes.

The space time continuum melts.

The other monsters would go sit in the corner eating tomato-flavored popcorns

I'm guessing Faraday and Voltaik would spar until one dies, then the other Faraday joins in.

Anticipation is not an extra turn skill, so it would not trigger anticipation.

@Expander12 I mean, even the trait description says it grants Faraday an "extra turn" so.......

I know, but it says 'extra turn skill'.

@Jimmy i laughed when I read this.. you just hurt SP's feeling when you said this.. but in a more serious note, this goes to show what SP cares about- $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Don't care about testing, problems caused with balancing, player's feedback etc.. as long as it can gives them money, they will just roll it out...

I see many people putting Faraday on PVP defence at the moment. Which is nice, since imo he is quite overrated.

Yes, he is an excellent counter to Voltaik and Zyla, which probably makes him a monster that sold very well. But ... Voltaik and Zyla already were nerfed in high level PVP thanks to all the stamina draining banners and staffs. His only denial is 'stun'. There are a ton of stun immune monsters. His anticipation trait is useless if you simply do not bring a monster that grants itself an extra turn. Some monsters that do grant themselves extra turns, like Timerion and Shallinar, are hardly bothered by him getting an extra turn because they are stun immune. Timerion will still control the field, Shallinar will simply kill him off. Oh, and Goldfield, another stun immune monster, will simply remove all his debuffs in Evil Legions wars.

So he is quite easy to work around, and not good on defence at all. At least not compared to most of the other Nemeses. On offence he is a one way ticket to victory when attacking a Volt/Zyla base if played well, but he is not near as powerful as Samael or Xiron.

I'm currently using him in team war, because the thunder element is active and most have Voltaik. I also combined him with Cloud and MMOnster in my pvp attack team, helped me move up to Gold II.

@Ekto-Gamat he has helped me move from legendary 4 to well into legendary 3. Also i have charging banner on zyla so that counters said relics and thetys

@Ekto-Gamat Indeed, that was the main reason I hesitated in buying him. Nemesis monsters will probably cycle back after metal is released, so Ill decide when the time comes. Priority is Ruby Xiron as of right now tho.

I haven’t seen any offers for previously released Nemesis monsters, so Faraday may be hard to come by once the initial offer expires, if it hasn’t already.

They still have metal to release. Maybe they will cycle through them again after that like they do with the VIPs.
