I immediately wanted to take a look, and I'm already downloading it.
There's no Wi-Fi for you there.
All my Wi-Fi is in the gacha game, but since I haven't played for the last month and a half, the amount of gold I have hasn't increased much, so I don't have much hope for that. On the other hand, even the drop rate is unlikely to make me continue playing.
What new maps do you think will be the most significant in the current rotation? I think it will be the Blood and Haven gold maps. The first is ideal for Yorm-dfb decks; it can significantly improve matchups against Sword and Sylvan on its own, so it's quite possible that with it, Yorm will finally become a serious force in the rotation. The second will likely raise the Summit to a higher tier. Imagine its effect on the Celestial Knight... Ward is lost, but you definitely won't want to leave that on the board. And there are also the 6/6 dragons from amulets and turtles... This could force decks without hard removal to start including them if the Summit becomes popular again.
As for legendaries, Gremoir and the Dragoon seem to be the strongest, but I'm not sure they will have a big impact on the rotational meta right away upon release.
Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?), the main problem with the Worm isn't the lack of AoE spells, but rather the banish/transformation effect, the need to play it perfectly, the useless vanilla body that slows down your tempo, the lack of good tools for board control, the lack of good followers, the lack of pressure, and the need to play all parts of the combo (Viridia and its evolution, Ram, Claw, Chain, Gift to the Bloodseekers) at exactly the right time, and all while not dying, which is difficult when you lose half your health just by playing cards, without any effort from the opponent. It's more accurate to consider this deck as a Darkfist deck that is played with or without the Worm; the very concept of a "Yhorm" deck has completely died, not even having time to live, and all these points are also relevant for DFBs. So... having one more reliable AoE spell is certainly good, but it consumes Viridia's evolution and won't solve the deck's real problems. However, the Behemoth will be excellent in the Mice deck, and possibly even in a "Yhorm" deck, taking the slot of... drumroll... Yhorm himself, lol. Indeed, why play a useless vanilla 5-5 body that will be banished and won't even be able to trade, unless it absorbs its evolution, if you already have a new, reliable AoE for the same evolution cost, and if you can play an overstatted body with Demonic Strike, which can also damage the opponent's face, bringing them closer to the DFB turn, and clear an enemy follower.
0 legendaries in 13 packs. Although a golden Corn is pretty cool too. What else is there to do in this game besides occasionally getting nice free cards?
Getting beautiful leader portraits ❤️ Once I finish the comic at home, I'll complete the storyline for Rovan and use the money I earn to buy my own elf and just enjoy the game. I haven't played as the Sylvan faction in a while.
Oh, I happen to have about one and a half thousand gold and a dozen tickets. Should I spend the gold on an extra chance to pull Spinaria (what?) or on two guaranteed leader cards? I'm leaning towards the second option for now.
What else is there to do in this game now besides occasionally getting pretty free cards?
That's pretty much how I started playing HoMM. Just to occasionally get some pretty cards, and also to play tournaments with HeroesWorld folks.
I watched the animated previews of the new cards. The Forest legendary reminded me of Anomaly, and I suddenly remembered that awful interview with the developers, where they said, "Well, we knew that Anomaly was bad, and we wanted to make a playable legendary for Forest, but then we thought about it and decided to leave Anomaly as it is; it's cool, and we like it))))00." Apparently, the same thing is happening with Blood now – "we know we're giving them garbage, but it's fine)))00." Although, hmm. Caria was the first leader effect and was also intended for Blood; now, only lazy factions don't have leader effects. And Medusa was the first reprint, even though it turned out to be bad. And the top-tier Bloodcraft card after Azazel was the only card with that effect for a long time (and, of course, it was garbage). Maybe they just like testing new stuff on Vampires.
The Behemoth has a cool animation, and the card itself isn't bad in terms of art. But for me, in terms of how awful the design is, it's somewhere between Anomaly and Cassi, so even if it turns out to be an auto-include in all decks, I'll still hate it. Well, MAYBE a little less than Cassi; after all, the Behemoth's art is cooler. It's still not as painful as Vira, who, as a character, doesn't evoke the warmest feelings in me after finally completing that part of the main quest with her in GBF, but she's a real auto-include and a really cool card that can win games, and I have to put up with this [DATA REDACTED] in my decks instead of cute demon boys.
And the Portal legendary is beautiful in its non-evolved animation *____*. I noticed that eye a long time ago and was waiting for it, and it's cool *___*. Although, for such art, a more cheerful design would be nice, but maybe it will be an auto-include *_*
Unfortunately (or fortunately?), the main problem with the Worm isn't the lack of AoE, but the banish/transformation, the need to play it perfectly, the useless vanilla body that messes up your tempo, the lack of good tools for board control, the lack of good followers, the lack of pressure, the need to play all parts of the combo (Viridia and its evolution, Ram, Claw, Chain, Gift to the Bloodseekers) at the right time and not too early or too late, and all this while not dying, which is difficult when you lose half your health just by playing cards, without any effort from the opponent. It's more correct to consider this deck as a Darkfist deck that is played with or without the Worm; the very concept of a "Yhorm" deck has completely died, not even having time to live, and all these points are also relevant for DFB. So... One more reliable AoE is, of course, good, but it eats up Viridia's evolution and won't solve the deck's real problems. But the Behemoth will be great in Mice, and possibly even in a "Yhorm" deck, taking the slot of... drumroll... Yhorm himself, lol. Really, why play a vanilla 5-5 body that will be banished and won't even be able to trade, unless it evolves, if you already have a new reliable AoE for the same evolution cost, and if you can play an overstatted body with Demonic Strike, which can also damage the opponent's face closer to the DFB turn, and clear an enemy follower.
Yes, it's ironic that in its own deck, Yhorm is one of the worst cards due to its nature. However, I wouldn't rush to throw it away. Its effect is still very strong, and without it, the deck often lacks the face damage to push through against Mice. Behemoth... I don't know, Overload 3 is harsh. Let's see if it's worth it.
Here are the new cards I pulled from 40 packs:
Petra Khaiza Cucouroux x3 Malocchio Burst Shot x2 Ironfist Beast Warrior Ms. Miranda
And also an animated Arulumaya.
At the start of the expansion, I got a lot of Sylphs, and in the mini-expansion, a full set of her sisters arrived. The game is persistently urging me to play more with the Puppet Portal
Well, we knew that Anomaly was not a great card, and we wanted to make Sylvan a viable faction, but then we thought about it and decided to leave Anomaly as it is; it's cool, and we like it))))00
Anomaly is a very powerful card. It's just that in the Sylvan faction, there are no combinations with it. In Haven, where you can give followers immunity to spells, it would be more dangerous. And in Dragon, where, if I remember correctly, it could be buffed... But Sylvan is not that, and it's not the other, there are simply no such support cards, and Anomaly is easily removed from the board.
However, I wouldn't rush to discard it. Its effect is still very strong, and without it, the deck often lacks the burn damage needed to overcome a mouse or a flyer.
Well, games where it triggers and its effect procs 5+ times, while you maintain complete board control and ultimately win, have happened much less frequently than simple wins with a mouse or two. Besides, without Nighthawk, its effect is just mediocre, and with it, you can easily boost the mouse. The greatest benefit it has ever brought me is in those fun games where the opponent is scared of its effect and leaves it on the board, and I go face with 7 damage and immediately finish them off with a mouse. Glorified stat stick. If I had Behemoths with 86 tickets, I would take them in its place in an instant. I still wouldn't play in this terrible meta.
Currently, the Sylvan faction has good support for the Anomaly creature. Wolf, Yggdrasil, and Golden Okami are all good choices. In all the time I've been playing, I've never lost to it; mostly, I lose to Cockroaches, and less often to Aggro or neutral creatures. And it hasn't shown up in Grand Prix or tier lists. Although I want to try it myself, I only have one Anomaly, and I can't seem to find enough vials for a second. It's just a bad map, that's all.
Simply, the developers don't want to admit that the "Roach" was a mistake, and there's no point in inventing something new and less effective while it's still around and perfectly capable of killing enemies even before you reach the anomaly points.
Decided to try some rotations. Portal, portal, portal, rune, portal, portal, portal, portal, rune, portal, portal, rune, rune, portal, portal, portal. R - variety. I'll go back to unlimited mode.
