Anyway, if Stellarix is replaced then logically Chrysantherax should be too. I’m still of the opinion that it was a massive mistake to have replaced Stellarix in the first place. It was a bandaid fix for other problems.
There’s also speculation based on spoilers of a new GW system that’ll help combat looping, but it’s not here now. It seems like the perfect time to utilize their temporary bandaid fix of replacing troops. What harm is a few months for Chrys? Stellarix has been replaced for 296 days (almost 10 months) now.
if gow dont stop the floral boss dragon Chrysantherax in pvp and gw in the defense teams then you might as well bring back stellarix and the wand of stars, all 3 of these troops/weapon is far too strong for both events in defense and offence in gw even endgamers plus low levels are finding that Chrysantherax is too much a beast and most players right now dont have this boss. gow make it very difficult to get chrysantherex unless you are extremely lucky to get all 6 floral dragons with out get numerous duplicates. Gow dont even give players a chance to buy this troop for real cash. so that being said, devs need to remove chrysantherax from all pvp defense and in gw defense and offence like stellarix and wand of stars
I’m not the person you were talking to but I have an alt that I’ve had for just about a year. I haven’t spent one penny on that account. And it’s maybe a week or two away from being done with all 3 sets of dragons. I get the dragonite every day from the dungeon offers. It does require some rather OCD collecting of tributes, but it’s doable.
Doesn’t make any sense why Stellarix is replaced in PvP/GW but Chrysantherax is not.
Maybe devs will realise this eventually but it seems there are only a handful of them running this game now
I don’t actually have Chrys to confirm its damage output, but it really does not appear significantly higher than Stella’s (who, by contrast, was significantly stronger than Diamantina).
It’s nowhere as near as strong in GW’S and the mononliths actually worked last GW’S apparently, only 1 shots in frenzy zones and don’t have the looping ability Stellarix has
Sorry, was speaking from my own experience. It doesn’t one-shot me even in frenzy. Its lower spell damage resistance and lesser looping ability makes it easier for me to stop it casting again than Stellarix.
I tend to die more often to Diamantina than Chrys, due to unlucky skull cascades from Diamantina’s bonestorm.
Well to replace you have to remove it from defense first or am l wrong?
Open forum topic for discussion not a dev specific or you couldn’t reply in the topic yourself
I don’t agree with replacing. Stellarix and Wand of Stars had strong looping potential and that’s why they had to be replaced. Just make a better counter team…
Honestly, on blood frenzy areas, Chrysantherax is a monster. I saw one with upwards of “Deal 400+ damage” and despite having a lot of maxed out kingdoms, I cannot survive that. The current campaign with submerge gems really helps with this, but for those that are really complaining:
Look for troops that can silence or web
Change your hero’s trait to deluge instead of rock solid if you’re using Elementalist, but generally look for deluge.
With those two things, you should be fine enough to kill it. I still think Takshaka is more of a problem to fight against than this (same with Stellarix previously). I do however, agree with the decision to rerplace Wand of Stars. I really wish that weapon would just be deleted, actually. I remember in the past, there was weapon variety, whether it be doomskull creators, EoE, Rope Dart, LnD, TnT, Reflection, and Explode/Summon weapons like Arboreal Crystal. Now, most of those are completely invalid with Wand of Stars. It’s basically become a catch-all weapon for both color and troop type restrictions.
I agree that Crysantherax is easier to deal with than Stellarix. However, it loops and gets extra turns in a bonestorm, so I have seen people using Diamantina with it to take advantage of this.
But Wand of Stars is a whole separate issue. It’s almost required to deal with elementalist because it’s the easiest way to deal with that overpowered 3rd trait which makes most other classes feel at a disadvantage. I would love to see the day when Warden gets “create a leaf storm at the start of every turn,” instead of "all allies gain 5 armor."
I feel like this troop still existing on pvp defenses is more an indication that the staff of GoW have given up. If layoffs have happened with their support staff, no reason to think programmers haven’t also been laid off. Therefore the constant skeleton crew is more worried about the game actually running than anyone actually enjoying PVP.
