PoxNora imProvement Projects #1

I really hate faeries, but Corgi made me consider trying them. I am surprised how much their costs went up considering they have some of the lowest base damage, lowest hitpoints, and lowest defense of any theme.

They basically have 0 defense against melee champs, and every faction has anti-range, spell spam, and AE abilities that hit from as far away as they do.

Can you guys plz not put their only source of foment on a bad almost 80 nora melee rune?

 

Does frostfall vanguard fall into the same boat as this? 70 nora for high hp/collossal?

 

Vanguard has less health even in ff st, can't be boosted in faction, doesn't have resilient and maybe most important no healing. It does a bit more damage and has the equip gimmick but that actually causes it to take damage with follow up melee attacks. Between the two the boa is generally the harder one to deal with imo.

 

It also has 65 base hp to its 69 nora cost. that alone makes it runnable. everything else just makes it silly.

 

It has 60 base with ff st bonus. If hp to nora ratio is all that is needed st has a number of champs that can boast a hp to nora ratio that is better than 1:1. But most of them get little to no notice colossal makes a big difference.

 

I was referring to the boa.

 

Sand stalker dust devil. 84 Nora at his cheapest with less than 45hp. zephyr shield and whirl of blades may be pricey, but his cost is still unjustified.

Other "sand" champs need looked at due to cost. Some I think are fine (sand stalker lord for example) but plenty have an imbalanced Nora:abilities and stats ratio.

 

Even with zephyr and whirl, the unequipable should be able to drop his price down low enough for him to be considerable, somewhere mid 70s. As he is, his low health and is not worth 80+ as his lowest cost. I could understand his more expensive upgrade options pushing him over 80, but not as it is.

 

Unfortunately, a champion needs other stats to make range a valuable stat. Any chance he could get that range cut? That range and Essence Capture on base are the big things -- it's a terrible ability when you have 9 base damage, 6 speed, and no boost potential.

 

At his price and damage potential, I think Essence Capture is more a sandbag than a beneficial ability, that's probably the more value-neutral way to say what I said. More pointedly, I think the ability itself is over-costed, especially in comparison to other generation abilities.

 

Like Revenant, Festering Corpse gets -3 nora from abilities (default) and costs 47 nora, meaning 50 nora for its stats -- 5 DMG, 4 SPD, 0 DEF, 1 RNG, and 44 HP. I suspect a manual modifier. Even if paying for HP at 1:1 and getting no discount for incredibly sub-average damage and speed, he would still be over-costed.

 

Yeah, Festering Corpse needs a modifier, he would probably be free without one. I do think it could be reduced, though, and it's worth bringing them to light (would that be better done in the Crate as a buff request or here?).

 

Has the Voil Jester a manual modifier?

 

If the 6spd 10 DMGES is baseline, I would understand the dust devils current price a lot more if he had 10 base (12 with domain).

 

Fire Gigant ?
