[Question] Can any one give me an insight about Arena Hero : Ellis?

Tue Dec 13, 2016 2:28 pm

I'm quite curious of her, since i got a 3* Athena Ellis, and does not have any other Mystic.
So the question is, how strong is her Warlock's Charm? I've seen in PVP, she only charmed the primary target (the skill depict that it target 9 sq of aoe), unlike Valiant:Lucille Witch Doctor, which she can charm all enemy w/o dealing dmg (with chance to resist). And does the charm works on PVE maps, even on Bosses?

The Invoker counterpart is out of my picture, because the glass-nuke thing is not what I want for my team, otherwise, please inspire us who don't know her well =D

Thanks in advance!

She's not that great. First of all, her charm affect only 1 target and does 140% MAG to all of enemies 3*3 around the charmed target with 7 turns cooldown. Compare to Lucile who can charm all enemies with less 1 turn cooldown.

For the damage, compare with Elementalist Kiera who has skill based on 145% MAG +25% from aura and addition stat from being Valiant, she still having hard time take backline down, so Warlock Ellis probably do even less damage.

For PVE, charm barely worth anything, especially when it take 7 turn to use once. Boss can be charmed and might kill nearby enemy if it does critical damage but, that's about it.

Warlock Ellis skill could work against some offensive PVP team, if she can survive for 7 turns. :lol:

Note that charm can cause backfire such as, warrior attack still hit your own team and even trigger enemy aura.

If you have an Athena Kiera, it's true that Ellis probably isn't worth your time.

Still, if in the future you do pick up an Kiera and are working towards some kind of mage build, having a Ellis is by no means bad either. She has better stats than Zedd too so I see no reason for you not to use her, even if it is temporarily until you find a Kiera.
