Following up on @Ekto-Gamat 's post above (with which I completely agree), chain denial is certainly still in the game. Ironically, Thalassa chain denies with successive mega freeze (Recently Frozen never gets a chance to come into play because she can and does spam mega freeze). Please fix this soonest.

And, yeah, glad I didn't rank Brontes. Now useless. Support apparently says that Brontes owners need to adapt and try new skills out. Lol. Nice generic script, but if they actually play, and look at his skill alternatives, they would appreciate he has nothing else to offer.

alternatively keep the area cast as proposed but choose a less strong area trait, maybe something like immune to all Dot effects....

I really like this idea. Immune to Torture works very well with an increased life buff. Also, the thing Gortak still has going for him is his Control countering ability. Giving Zahra Torture immunity rather than Control immunity leaves Gortak's purpose intact, while strengthening Zahra's 'thing'.

@Yomi-Que

Status Caster gives a status from beginning of battle. Because it is status, it can be buff cleared. Examples: Elvira's Evasion; Inquisitor Fulmen's 50% shield; Toshiro's Thunder immunity. They can be stripped.

Compare Barbael's damage increase trait. It is not status cast. So it is not removed with buff clearing. It must be trait disabled. The same with Gortak's allies stun immunity or Thalassa's allies freeze immunity etc. Those are not status. They are trait.

You can tell status cast effects because they are shown by a green icon. Traits (including traits given by Warmasters to their allies) are light blue icons.

BTW, interested to hear why you think double life trait and control immunity status caster would be appropriate. It is not helpful to just say she needs to exhibit power creep to make sales. She needs to be powerful but balanced. A 50% life bump all allies (as trait, not status) is a huge tactical advantage and will already sell her. What are your considered views on how you think double life trait would interact with current meta?

Hi, first of all, sorry for the misunderstandings.

We are still in testing process; and we're playing mainly with her trait / status caster.

Right now, we cannot assure you if she will give double or "only" 50% more life.
Also, we are working on other alternatives to her status caster

I've already edited my previous post; I'll be very careful in the future with this kind of statements.

(That mistake provoked very interesting opinions that I loved to read, and make us think!)

Again, sorry!

Thank you Carlos. I am grateful that you are taking feedback into account before finalizing your plans for Zahra.

@C0ntr1v3d Well, that's just assuming the worst 😅 Yes, it may happen, but hey, you can team Zahra up with proper allies in order to prevent Thalassa from acting much or just killing her real quick. Besides, you don't ALWAYS have to fight a Thalassa, plus you may stumble upon a silly base that relies on the evasion and is just packed with strength.

Yes, I do always have to fight Thalassa in pvp, actually. And I can deal with her unless she specials.

Now, let's see. She will have 3 extra turn skills, and the also broken single strip positive, trait disabled, aoe Megafreeze. And double stamina. So prospects of getting her special are already heightened. She gets several rolls of the dice every time she gets a turn.

In that context, the designer goes, hey, let's give an aoe strip positive, trait disabled, Megafreeze special. Yeah. Sounds right.

Then let's allow Megafreeze to overlay Megafreeze so that the control changes are irrelevant and Thalassa can just chain deny.

And, I know, let's introduce a double life trait into the game so she has base 136,304 life and an Armor relic slot. Kill her quickly? I don't think so.

Thalassa is seriously reducing my enjoyment of the game. She is just overwhelmingly broken.

@Szymon-Zin said in Leaks -- Not official Nor confirmed Info --:

@keki14 Oh yeah, it's going to make PvP super fun xD and I mean it. Personally, I love long battles

In principle sure. But longer battles means that Thalassa's completely broken special is more likely to pop at which point, game over, because, hey, denial chain lock with Mega Freeze overlaying Mega Freeze again and again and again and again and goodbye.

Change to Control + Zahra = Gortak has become obsolete 4 months after first release.

Well. That sucks.

@Jimmy

Yes, that is what appears. A double life trait. And a 50% extra life to allies status caster trait. IDK what that means for her own life. But nothing suggests that her allies would get anything but 50% extra life.

@Jimmy

No, this:

@keki14 said in Leaks -- Not official Nor confirmed Info --:

Also I think 50% more life would've been better for the Nature WM than double life. That'd acceptable, not OP.

It is +50% already, if the description above is accurate. I have not seen reference to double life anywhere.
