New Mythic Troop: Bothros Bothros will be the only Mythic Troop available in Glory, Gem, Guild & VIP Chests for the next 7 days.
Absolute garbage. Sorry buddy, you don’t deserve a place with troops like Takshaka and The Gray King.
If you’re not a completionist, save up your keys and don’t bother. Then, you will get this thing randomly and not really care anyway…
That’s more fault of Tak and GK than this poor Bothros. If you always compare new troop to best of best of best, the only thing you get is power creep.
Mythics should have a purpose. Reapplying death mark is actually detrimental because then you have to wait a turn for it to have a chance to kill again. And it takes so much set-up to make this mythic work, and after the first kill or two, the spell loses a lot of value.
You’re just banging your head against a wall trying to find value with this troop. It’s probably better than Mambasara, but that’s not saying much.
Then theres the fact that in player hands deathmark has a lower chance to kill than in Ai hands. (You cant convince me otherwise)
