I really like Sylvanimora. The team I’ve been using for invades this week (and has won all but once in 40 invades) is:
Emperor Khorvash\*\*\*
Sylvanimora\*\*\*
Green Seer\*\*\*
Valkyrie\*\*\*
[http://ashtender.com/gems/teams/emperor-khorvash,sylvanimora,green-seer,valkyrie](http://ashtender.com/gems/teams/emperor-khorvash,sylvanimora,green-seer,valkyrie)
On 4-5 gem matches, an enemy is Stunned and the first enemy is Entangled. With two converters, that happens a lot. Green Seer will Entangle the second/third troop at times, which means that Khorvash’s attack (or skulls) will often expose another Entangled troop. Khorvash mana drains and stuns, Sylvanimora does AoE damage and feeds the two converters. It’s a pretty strong setup, as it covers physical (Entangled), magical (mana drain), and traits (Stun). Only weakness really is Impervious troops, but they’ll at least still get mana drained.

Agree that Manticore is also a bit much. Cost should go up.
I stand by my view though that EK does way too much damage for its cost, and has too good a traits set.
Neither is broken, but both are significantly up the power curve and hence _everywhere_ at the moment.

> The fact that so many people at the top can stay current is probably a problem, for the game, as well as the developers. As others have said, it greatly reduces the incentive to spend any money on the game. But it also changes the play experience drastically, when those people have nothing to look forward to, and no difficult choices to make on how they spend their resources. The ability to fully Mythic, level, and trait everything makes those people feel that anything they have that isn’t Mythic is useless.
I think that you’re right about this. But there’s a sweet spot, when it comes to anticipation. Too little is boring, too much is disheartening.
I think it must be extremely difficult to calibrate, considering the range of player investment & temperament.
I know when I see someone who’s upset about not getting a mythic my main thought is just, “Don’t plan to ever get a mythic, you’ll be happier that way.” This is a great coping strategy and I recommend it to everyone but I doubt it’s what the devs are going for.

Im on console and have been saving my keys for 3 and a half months waiting for War. Not looking forward to failing 😢

QFT. I totally agree.

I can’t imagine saving keys that long, I think I got up somewhere around 160 keys, and buckled and used them all.

An inner demon forces me to use every key obtained.

He is a pretty good front troop, just like Gorgotha, but there are ways around to deal with him:
- Pull someone else to the front.
- Knock him to the last position.
- Stun him.
- Devour him.
On the Mana Drain meta i’ve faced an awesome team that mana drained my troops seven times in a roll, i retreated because it was taking too long, but to me it was a good battle in the sense that it was really challenging.

Seems like a well measured change. +1.

I know, its pretty rough. Looking forward to splurging on them though. Hope I get him after the wait. Must be released in the next 3 weeks

There’s nothing wrong with Khorvash. Manticore is probably a bit much though.
PS, I just lost my first match of the week. To Khorvash / Mab / Valk / Manticore. Gonna have to start paying attention I guess.

Yeah with that matchup I normally do a mirror match, sometimes I’ll swap out Mab for Psion for the additional drain and dmg to Manticore since freeze and mana burn are useless against it.

Holy cow, maybe I should wait to post from now on. I run Khorvash / Pride Guard / Devoted / Manticore and added that postscript to my last post shortly after losing both Khorvash and Pride Guard. His Khorvash was down to 0 armor and 17 life but for all intents and purposes it was over. I took out Khorvash, he took out Devoted.
And my Manticore, with the help of a few lucky drops, took out the rest of his team!
I’ll stand by my previous post. Khorvash = fine. Manticore? Probably a bit much.

They’re both a little OP, but not horribly broken. I think it’s a case of them going a little overboard with power creep and it just needs to be dialed back a bit so it doesn’t skew everything subsequent out of whack. It was clearly intended as ways to deal with Maw but the power creep is a bit concerning.

Manticore is annoying but Khorvash, for me, is more dangerous. I always aim to take him out first if I can.

Don’t worry I will hold you personally responsible when I am disappointed with him 😛
