3. Groo

• Here we have the Hero that I would define as the ‘Perfect Tank’. There are multiple reasons for this and let’s start off with one of Groo’s Passive Skills. “Glew’s Tenacity III – Increases HP by 44% and Reduces damage 26%” both of these just scream that they’re well used on a tank. The HP increase results in Groo being the hero with the most HP in the game right after Dragon Slayer (Everything else about Dragon Slayer is bad though) and reducing 26% of the damage dealt to him is just absolutely ridiculous. Directly cutting away 1/4th of the damage dealt. Add in the Damage Reduction Artifact and you’re cutting away 46% damage while he has more than 1m HP. The next skill that makes him such a perfect tank is his other Passive Skill “Fear III – When attacked, reduces the target’s 24% Crit for 2 rounds.” As mentioned with Lord Balrog, this is a really good skill since it stacks and counters heroes that rely on Crit. Especially teams with Asmodel.

And now to his Special Skill “Shadow Blast – Deals (145%Attack) damage against enemies on the front line and steals their 28% Armor for 2 rounds” which is quite an insane skill, considering the front row tank usually has a decent amount of Armor. This is going to block even more damage dealt to Groo, so he’s a 1m HP tank that you can barely even damage and he almost always is the last hero to die in a fight. He is the perfect protector to the Safe Spot so your Aidan or Flame Strike can annihilate the opponent’s team. And now to the last of his Passive Skills “Counterattack III – When attacked, has a 40% chance to Counterattack, dealing 200%Attack damage” and this skill is the reason I’ve seen Groo deal more than 400k damage through a battle, lashing out more damage than Faceless. Not that Faceless is good, but just a comparison since I wouldn’t be surprised if any of you thought Faceless was good.

Recommended Artifact and Stone: I’d easily recommend using Damage Reduction Artifact on Groo. Anything else would be a waste. I’d also recommend HP stone because that’s the stone that’d give the most value.

Almost Top Tier

1. Eddga

• Here we have a somewhat situational hero because Eddga is a hero that won’t shine in a team that doesn’t go above 12-13 rounds in almost every fight. He is a hero that gets stronger and stronger the longer the fight goes on because of his Passive Skill “Warsong Roar III – Each attack grants self with 21% Crit Damage, 15 Speed and gains (50%Attack) HP.” As the fight goes on he’s going to Crit harder and harder, he heals whenever he basic attacks and he’s getting faster as well. Eddga getting faster is nice because of his Special Skill “Blade Coercion – Deals (128%Attack) damage against 3 random enemies and gains (80%*Attack) HP. Can’t be dodged.” So he’ll be able to heal up a bit before he gets hit, which might make him able to stay alive just one more round.

Eddga also has the Passive Skill “Brave Edgar III – When the hero is on the rear line, gains 25% Crit and 30% Attack; When placed on the front line, gains 60% HP” so if he’s placed in the back row, which I strongly recommend you do if you’ll use him, he’ll Crit 1 out of 4 basic attacks. Count in the 20% Crit Chance he gets from Guild Tech and Eddga will Crit almost every second basic attack. Remember that he gains 21% Crit Damage from his other Passive whenever he basic attacks, so he’ll end up doing a nice amount of damage with 45% Crit Chance. And now to the last of his Passive Skills “Frenzied howl III – When HP is lower than 30%, Attack increases by 30% and Crit increases by 40% for 3 rounds.” The increase to Crit Chance by 40% puts him at 85% Crit when he gets below 30% HP, which of course will happen a bit later in a battle, so he’ll already have stacked up a nice amount of Crit Damage. This is when he’s going to shine by doing a bunch of damage when doing Crits and when his unblockable Special Attack hits 3 targets.

As I stated before, he’s a somewhat situational hero because he needs to be in a team that often goes to at least 12-13 rounds, so I could imagine for Eddga to be useful, you’ll need to put him in a team with Rosa and or Ormus. Most likely both.

Recommended Artifact and Stone: I’d recommend using the Damage Reduction Artifact so he can survive as long as possible and use the Crit Stone giving him another 13% Crit Chance and 44% Crit Damage, resulting in Eddga having 98% Crit Chance when he’s below 30% HP.
