I figured many didn’t know about it so was worth pointing it out.

I happened to be catching up with the latest Dragon Ball Super series, and I immediately thought of this guy when I saw the title.

I appreciate the buff, but can we also have some acknowledgement for higher level up?  
I understand there is balance concern here, but at least give the older players some kind of pat on the back for taking the time to play to level 1000+. If not in term of in-game skill, then at least give us like… +Gold or +XP % badge for attaining certain high level mark or something?

Heroes should be powerful and versatile enough that every team uses him or her. Until then heroes are weak.

So,  
what’s a good Tuskar team then?  
Dryad I guess would be nice to barrier him + boost his life?

Chaining him with soothsayer and sunweaver makes quite a strong combo. 4th troop some soul generator like valk and you are on your way 🙂

Hi there. I’m sure this “small” hero buff is great for PVP and all, but this also translates into a game-breaking issue for Arena, unfortunately…

> Hi there, So, remember during patch 1.09, when the Hero Class bonuses were active in The Arena, and it made it unplayable? Well, we have a similar bug now (on top of the Transform mechanic bug which brings troops with active Traits to the Arena - often Legendaries, to boot). What you were expecting to happen… Playing a normal Arena run, on a level playing field as the saying goes. =) …and what actually happened? Well, my Hero has 11 attack, 23 HP, 18 Armor, and 8 Magic, which is all much mo…

Instead of Sooth wouldn’t Apo be a better option? Mana for Tusk and Valk boosts up mana for Sun

Well sooth fits a lot better and also has empowered 🙂  
Don’t forget you can use sooth to get extra turn, plus his gem destruction gives you mana too 😉  
Here’s a good team:  
Tuskar  
Soothsayer  
Sunweaver  
The dragon soul  
All 6 colors covered. +2 life to all troops for having 2 unique wildplains troops.  
At level 19 my sunweaver gives 17 life armor and attack to a chosen ally. that gets increased by 1 each time you cast soothsayer. With giving Tuskar life you give his spell more damage, while making a force out of him. I mean 17 attack and 34 tank is huge, 6 mana is just a lovely bonus. sooth also increases the damage of Tuskar.  
Tds is there to cover remaining 2 colors, and to generate mana for everyone.  
Only problem that team might face is devour, but Tuskar will fast enough have enough damage to kill mab off 🙂  
It’s not the best team there is, but it’s a team build around Tuskar 🙂

If you want souls Avina can be a decent workaround (especially if you want to farm in Khetar or Ghulvania)

Can be replaced with: avina\*, bultauros\*, Crimson, death\*, desdemonia, dimetraxia, draak\*, emperina\*, guards avatar, Hydra, mist stalker, nobend, war, Amira, bone dragon, goblin shaman\*, green sear, lady anariel\*, queen mab\*, spooky imp.  
The ones with \* are better options from the list.
