Great troop. Replaced banshee on one of my teams and the board control was quite noticeable. If it had a targetable spell it would be purrfect. đ

Have 400 glory packs been reduced to 3 minor traitstones, or is this a bug?

I just noticed something in every ones builds, maybe it is just me but does hellcat seem worth traiting and not in a get 5 stars for a kingdom kind of way but just a trait to help the team comp type of way.

Not really.
- **Daemon Bond** is fine I guess, not a huge boost but a âcheapâ trait at least, if you have runics to spare.
- **Fireproof** barely matters. Especially considering Hellcat is best in a looping team, the enemy wonât get enough turns for Burning to do any substantial damage to Hellcat â and if they do, you have other problems.
- Similarly, **Aflame** is only useful if Hellcat is in the attacking position (but why would you ever do that) _and_ youâre giving up turns so the enemy troops take damage from Burning. Again, with a looping team you wonât get much benefit from it.
Basically, if youâre not trying to trait out a 5\* kingdom, and youâre not a completionist, thereâs no good reason to get Hellcatâs expensive (2nd and 3rd) traits.

Sure, you could build a Burn team around Hellcat, but the Sheggra pairing has too many people excited to notice.
Plus, Burn teams are too âslowâ for most players. Most players want a 95%+ win ratio while matches should never take longer than 2 minutes.

I thought this was the consensus. [quote=âTaliaParks, post:46, topic:9136â]
too âslowâ for most players.

Ya it is good at looping but not worth traiting because status effects are slow still. Glad i am not alone in leaving hellcat untraited.

You just asked a question. Did you not want opinions?

i was asking s that i would get an opinion. The team builds so far that i see seem to have hellcat untraited so any opinions are welcome, you seem to have a grasp on why and considering your experience i think that the reasons you gave for yours are adequate for explaining why someone would not trait hellcat.

Everyone should trait Hellcat asap to count towards 5 stars on Blighted Lands⌠Another +1 magic is very useful⌠Even if you never use the Hellcat itselfâŚ

Not everyone.
Since Blighted Lands is now a 9-troop kingdom, itâs possible to get it to 5 stars mostly through souls and âcheapâ traits.
anyone who has enough souls may want to do that and keep their arcanes for something they actually need it for.

Exactly. I got BL to 3\* ASAP unlocking (IIRC) all but 3 traits on the 7 troops available then. This week I just levelled up the new troops and it was 5\* already, no additional traits needed.

Precisely. I think I traited Hellcat anyway because completionism.
