hmm, those 2 are almost identical...Netter cost less and does more damage in the end Ruthless needs a rework, why would i take Mutation Leap 3? its a waste of nora, after 2 death, i got my mutation, after that, Death charged 2 becomes useless, Leap rank 3 cost 8 nora, and Mutation leap + Death charged also cost 8 nora, but you gotta wait for 2 death, and becomes vulnerable to Metamagic backlash afterwards also why does Ryv the ruthless doesnt have anything different from its non-limited counter part, but Aria the priestess and her non-limited counter part have differents ability?
Both mutations on base and -2 nora might make me consider running him. Even then he would be situational, with netter being strictly better before anything dies.
The champion isn't bad as you people seem to see him, it's a good damage skirmisher with control abilities and growing potential with good charge accrual. In these kind of champions I ussually like to see a dual path to run him in either mutation/charge bg or a skeezick bg, where the needs of each bg can be slightly different, but he's definitively runnable.
In a skeez bg a regular netter just outclasses him. By the time things die, he will most likely either get 1 upgrade, or not get any and get one-turned. There isn't much back and forth in skeezick games, either you win with a powerturn or the enemy wins. There's not much space to put heal and skeezicks dont have as much regen as draksars do. In a mutation bg he sounds ok, but he still needs way too long to reach the point where this +8 nora from abillities transfers into offensive power.
