Good job. Personally I can’t wait til purple day. I almost feel sorry for the poor saps that we’ll be tearing apart with pony in hand. Such a beast. ---

Is the pony really that good? I thought she looked “bleh”. Personally I feel, just by looking at the troops, that Infernus is better (although still not amazing). Now I’m reading people on here saying they are going to decimate with her… am I missing something? Are you guys trolling? What are some good teams with her in them? I only have finite resources so I usually don’t chase mythics unless I think they’re good. Wasn’t planning on going for her and saving for the next but if you guys can show why she’s actually good maybe I’ll roll the dice. ---

Almost 25k, Nice score! I’ve been testing lots of teams as we have like a few players on vacation this week, and 2 players that quit Gems entirely mid week. (One was a level 1k player that just joined last week). ---

For GW, I don’t really see the appeal. The “give life to all allies” doesn’t score and gem generators are very unpredictable. I like the idea of the 3rd trait for generating mana, but overall, she doesn’t look like a game-changer to me, especially with the new scoring in GW. Seems like she would not help with damage ratio or speed, while she _would_ help with mana ratio. Someone could prove me wrong, of course. ---

3rd trait let’s you get +1 mana on all matches. That’s pretty big when you’re hoping to out race your opponent plus with the new formula and mana gained being a factor in gw, it helps. Plus console doesn’t have the new gem spawning algorithm that pc has yet, so her making 10 gems of a color will get you a 4 match often if you pick a common board color. I’ve managed to loop her effect a few times in a row picking one of her colors. The life gain and barrier to everyone else is a nice touch on top. Edit: Plus she IS a Beast. Is sick with Forest Guardian plus someone posted Elemaugrim x2 Aurora x2. Oh yeah… That just about melted through anything. Edit 2: I’m beginning to feel like I need to tag all my less than serious responses here. Not meaning this one. ---

I don’t like the “update hasn’t come to console yet” argument though as it WILL be coming, and if it makes her pretty much a crap character it will suck to have lost resources (hopefully) getting her and then not having much for the next one (who is the next mythic btw? Is it Infernus already?) ---

I agree with you if you don’t think you gonna use her wait for a mythic you really want, in my case i don’t know if i will use her it’s strickly to complete the collection ---

It should (sorry @Strat) be Infernus in 3 weeks of it follows the same pattern as PC release. And I did say “yet” cause yes it will come. Who knows when exactly and personally I would like to enjoy her now while I can. As it was I just got around to playing with Ketras, Stonehammer, and Elemaugrim this week even though they had all been out for awhile. New and different is good. ---

For anyone who got Aurora and needs traitstones, I think there is a good chance that Arcane Lights (Green/Yellow) will be available for glory starting Monday. You’re going to need to farm the Arcane Plains (Yellow/Purple). ---
