Even at 5%, Iām pretty disappointed to see the devour trait return to the game.

āMan, devour on skulls was really bad, we should remove it from Great Maw.ā
āWhat can we do that we havenāt done before?ā
āHow about devour on skulls, except with MORE RNG?!ā
āRNG in skull swings isnāt enough, letās put RNG in the spell too!ā

Itās a weird decision, if you ask me. On the one hand, itās 5%, which is so low as to almost be useless (especially if youāre using the Legendary as a summoner, in which case it wonāt even be attacking until you are ādesperateā). On the other hand, spontaneous Devour is spontaneous Devour. I donāt see how this will make _either_ side happy. But maybe the devs know something I donāt.

Honestly it is fairly useless. If I get the troop I might not even do the 3rd trait. I actually think they probably couldāve put a far more useful trait personally. Maybe they purposely put that as his 3rd trait to sorta ābalanceā him out in their eyes. 5% is almost useless, but knowing it COULD devour is enough for people to still 3rd trait him. I feel it was almost meant for a hindrance.

Saying it a million times isnāt helping your case. Iām pretty sure the devs have seen your grievance and can evaluate it on its merits by now.

So it could summon itself! Excellent!
Then it would use the final trait!
Muhahaha.

Iām not really seeing it either. It presents pretty much the same problem as original Maw. Decreased chance for it to happen doesnāt mean much - it still _will_ happen, and Iām betting the lower chance probably makes it even more rage inducing. This may not get complaints right away due to the cost making it fairly exclusive at this point, but it probably will within the next month or so.
The main thing that differs here is that it does not appear to have front slot appropriate stats or a spell that supports him being in the front slot and his other traits are pretty bad, plus the large amount of ways available to counter it that already exist (stuns, impervious, _maybe_ entangle this time?). Overall, it just doesnāt seem _good enough_ to be a meta front slot troop, even for defense, when there are so many better options, which would naturally lead to it being used less and less situations where the RNG devour is a āproblemā.
I think it looks like an okay second or third slot, especially to counter skull spam teams, where if your first troop dies you can trade back with skulls and _maybe_ swing the balance back in your favor, then maybe get a summon out as well. But since this kind of counter strategy is abysmally slow and RNG dependent, it will probably be relegated to defense.
That being said, I donāt care how shoehorned it is, Iām totally making a Black Beast team with at least one of the troops this week and using it for invade.

The thing is, the last few legendary troops to arrive on the scene have been _too_ goodāin reverse order itās, what, Sylvanimora, Emperor Korvash, Queen Mab, The Great Maw, and Infernal King, right?
Sylvanimora hasnāt caused a huge uproar, but the others did. A lot of people complained about power creep and easy buttons and etc., etc.
So now weāre getting a middle-of-the-pack legendary that probably wonāt reset the meta & weāre complaining about that, too? Cāmon, people.

Plus the Four Horseman, players are getting used to heavy lifters.

Cool new stuff š
Minimaw seems funā¦ Agree the third trait is odd, though. A skull-trigger trait on a summonerā¦ Go figure.

While this is true, itās potentially because he (she?) was hard(er) to obtain than most Legendaries.
Personally I _love_ Sylvanimora. It basically gives your tank super-Graniteskin.
Hey @Sirrian and @Nimhain, is Sylvanimora male or female? The flavor text and your blurb from that week left it ambiguous. The name ends in āaā so it sounds feminine to me, but most forum-goers refer to it as āhe.ā
