Re: Defense centric Guardian Hero way overdue

I agree that it's probably way overdue that we have a new Defense Guardian or even having our old Defense Guardians buffed.

But i guess, the reason we may not be seeing more Defense heros (in general) is because of how powerful the defense stat is.

Defense in this game is pretty powerful in that it can block out every physical attack in a 1:1 ratio. Not only that they are also able to block out MAG damage in the same 1:1 ratio.

It is pretty OP in it's own right. If they released OP defense heros, it may tip the balance such that you will see even higher ATK numbers from future bosses and that any non-defense centric heroes (especially mages - they are already very paper currently, but it may make every hero who isn't defense become like them) will not be able to survive, i.e. major power creep.

Other games make defense worth less than ATK, but that also doesn't solve the entire problem.

HP heroes on the other hand are easier to balance because HP is a fixed value and whether you can survive a strong attack is easily balanced by how large your HP pool is.

So while i would like to see more unique useful Defense heroes, i understand why we may not be getting many of them.

I totally agree powercreep seems to be a big issue in this game.

This is not just a problem for Guardian heroes, but also Mystic heroes. Ronan was already more useful than the other Mystics and now Talissa Warlock gets a 160% MAG nuke to all enemies on a 4 turn cooldown which also summons a unit that has magic missiles.

i really hope they do something about this situation.

I had an arena match where my Lucille with 5.5k+ DEF at the 3rd line got killed while on defend lol. It was a four archer trigger team that dealt like 300+ damage per hit but I am not shitting on this, they triggered continuously and got my Lucille killed lol wtf. Talk about that bad luck RNG.

My point is, rework the archer team meta before reworking DEF. And Talissa on 4 turn cooldown is insane. Those two shiz need to be reworked before reworking DEF stat itself.

Just my two cents.
