The bomb going off immediately if you destroy it early does change a lot. We've got decent access to Relocate: Relic (well, I forgot that Stitched First lost it, so maybe not so decent), so it'll be easy enough to get it to a nice spot. Now, I wonder if using Reclaim sets it off? EDIT: It sure does! Too bad we can't take much advantage of that.
IMO It is a good rune overall, but overcosted I guess it works better for tortuns than FF FW... I tried running 2x of him and didn't get impressed, there's just not enough space on my bg to put this guy into it without sacrificing something better.
I'd say he's got a lot of potential in tortun and knockback decks. I think he stands on his own enough to compete against some of the tortun ranged options and he both provides knockback as well as a combo piece with his bomb. I think if you're running him in a FW deck, it's just as a "good stuff" piece and not for any synergy. He is a bit expensive, but it's by a couple of nora, not a ton.
I think it's fine where it is. I'm running 2 in FW meta and liking it. Doesn't seem OP, cause it DOES cost a lot of nora, but worth it's cost in the end
I tried them but find them lackluster. To each their own. My biggest gripe is that they have no them synergy at all. It is just a generic undead rune and it fits far better in FS knockback or Tortuns than in FW.
Agreed on the synergy part, but it IS a Tortun... Honestly I backed the suggestion of making the FS witch split FW as well, so everyone gets something flavorful
