:joy: I actually figured that she wouldnā€™t like him at all, given how she thought his Manticore smelled so badly and if he keeps his mount basically like a pet in his room, she wouldnā€™t ever be able to stand being around him.

I keep trying VoO out and he keeps being rubbish (seriously, when heā€™s alone and no one fuels him, he does 24 damage (I think). Doesnā€™t even give himself Mana and is Impervious, so doesnā€™t even need to cleanse himself, ever.), so thereā€™s not much to tell about Voice of Orpheus.:grin: Dude should stick to music and poetry instead of the battlefield.

This discussion clearly evolved into the direction of the really important information.:wink: At least until a dev/mod says something, I guess. But technically, we ARE discussing the news post.

Youā€™re not missing anything with this guy.

Maybe if status effects actually required cleansing maybe heā€™d see some use, but til thenā€¦

Heā€™s stays a poo machine that converts 22 mana into 15 manaā€¦

How does he fare against Faery Fire?

He cleanses it obviously, though it is not something Iā€™ve found I need to immediately remove.

I didnā€™t find a Titania-battle in PVP yet, but Iā€™ve been tossing him against Mab left and right. Thing is justā€¦ rest of my team clears usually through the battle so fast itā€™s just not needed.
I put Khorvash/Ragnagord/Ysabelle/Orpheus to try and see. And really, with Ragnagord constantly filling Khorvash up and Ysabelle helping to keep Ragnagord full in case he ever doesnā€™t get back enough from exploding, itā€™s pretty much easy anyway.
Not that VoO is completely useless; I cast him when heā€™s full and someone else is close to full to fill up the Mana and deal some damage, but itā€™s always just picking off enemies with low HP, if possible.
At least he blocks Krakens from eating him. Thatā€™s his main useā€¦ But I can do better with Worldbreaker in his slot, really.

Nah, Crow always calls him that, thereā€™s a lot of posts like that around already.:joy:

This is kind of dubious. I didnā€™t get him so obviously I canā€™t test, but think it through:

  • Heā€™s 1/4 of your troops that can be immune to Faerie Fire, so :+1:
  • 22 mana means you wonā€™t pop it off as a quick response, it has to be pre-charged., so :-1:
  • A CPU Titania will have at least 2 of your troops Faerie Fire per turn so :-1:
  • Glitterclaw AoEs your team with FF at 14 mana, very fast. :-1:

Interesting ability vs. a team thatā€™d normally be weak against mana burn, though. It feels like the loopers get richer, everyone else is kind of scratching their heads.

Oh, Mana Burn is not an issue. Mana Burn is something you can survive. Famine, on the other hand, but also Psion, do love your fully charged team very much, though. And loopers donā€™t profit that much since he breaks the loop and gives the enemies a turn to drain/hit you. A looper team is better off with another looper.

I can only wish, with a heart full of hope, that we will see more funny questlines like the Dragon Clawā€™s one but with our other ā€œtroublemakersā€ allies involved.

Well, got my Voice of Orpheus and Solā€™Zara. Had to use 50 Vip Chests in the end.

Yeah what I mean is intuitively, vs. a Mana Burn team it seems a counter would be ā€œtroops that are either full or empty, with low mana totalsā€ to make it less effective. I think thatā€™s why mana burn can hurt so badly, a lot of the teams we field have 18+ mana when full and the CPU gets a turn when we break our loop. Turns out in GoW the real counter to Mana Burn is just ā€œkeep loopingā€.

I guess the trouble is so far I donā€™t have an effective looping team. Iā€™ve had a string of miserable luck the last few days, it feels like Iā€™ll activate Gorgotha, get nothing, then watch the CPU take 8 turns, repeat. Iā€™m only winning because itā€™s Explore matches.

This doesnā€™t stop Ysabelle, does it?

Back to Hot Anime Strummer: perhaps we donā€™t need a Mythic every month, just for the pleasure of Catching Them All. But itā€™s ma pity when a Kingdom or a race is stuck with an useless Mythic.

Ok ok. Good unit, hope to get this one day.
But seriously, who the hell is zuulā€™goth? If some God send one ā€œkeenu Reevesā€ against him, it must be a ā€œlovelyā€ monster. Hope to get quickly some news about himā€¦

That was so unnecessary. Sirrian also said that they received positive messages about the UI. Are you calling him a liar too?

Before publicly calling someone a liar, you may want to check your facts. Right on a live stream, she talked about getting a VoO placed in her accounts so she could demo it in the stream. Obviously, her screenshot shows VoO that actually dropped from opening keys.
