In 1.3, Corkes without Navigation (but with Pathfinding!). In 1.3, a lot has been changed in terms of balance. In particular, Tower has received a significant buff. Truly significant. But more on that a little later. I don't think it's a good idea to announce the official release date, but it will be soon.
Cassiopeia in 1.3 starts bringing 20-25 Nymphs in a stack. With the upgrade, these guys are stronger than Gr. Troglodytes. But I haven't played her myself. I've only tested Eovac/Corkes/Anabel.
I'm not talking about Grand Elves, but about ordinary Elves. And their Pirates are stronger. Now imagine 30 Elves on week one. But yes, 4 shots add a special dynamic. The upgrade has no retaliation and no melee penalty, which is also extremely interesting. The second upgrade already has 10 shots and a Gorgon ability on range to boot.
P.S. Jaber here is also nothing like Jaber. Anabelka has no analogue in the original at all.
As for Oceanids and Troglodytes, they can't even be compared — the damage is the same, health is 1.5 times lower, and the quantity is also 1.5-2 times lower, plus the hero has no Tactics. Only speed is slightly higher. That's why I say the closest analogue here is Gretchin.
Anabelka so far, yes, looks better than the others. Except that the broken skill is concerning; she should be given something more worthwhile. Even Leadership would be more useful. Otherwise, you'll have to switch heroes.
