Dolphariel buff thread!

If everything would be top tier, we’d have atleast 10x the Meta diversity.

But let’s all be egocentric brats, who want nothing to be strong that they don’t own.

I never claimed to be against a buff though?

Then we’d have top tiers among top tiers, kind of like Orca now.

The thinner the gap gets the better it is for the game tough.

Yes, but I’d rather keep that line low enough so that comebacks are still possible.

65

Where the power level should be is another thing, but benchwarmer legendaries should not exist.

It’s definitely not useless, there are many ways to use it, people have already pointed that out on this thread. This one isn’t that straightforward and needs a bit of thinking to work. That’s why I wanted to roll it.

People haven’t figured out yet how to use it (except @Dane apparently). Not knowing how to use a monster in the best way doesn’t automatically make it “useless”.

I agree for the most part, but I think a few very niche designs like Pandamonium are good to encourage unorthodox teambuilding, even if those result in subpar monsters.

Exactly what I meant. Nice timing.

He’s the perfect example of a weaker but very much OK monster.
We should have more like that and less, strictly worse versions of other monsters.

I’m still waiting for someone to tell me what dolphariel is actually good at though.

Not only has no one offered a competitive use for him, no one has been able to name a legitimate useful move he has.

Majority of the most creative players in this game (that are also top tier in every event) clearly see this needs a rework already. This shouldn’t be one of those “oh wait for 3 months to see if someone can use him right” things. It’s glaringly obvious.

All that is to say, it’s most productive to offer adjustment suggestions rather than Devil’s Advocate stuff at this point.

I think Bond: Killer Immunity would be a great place to start.

I think the new dolphins should not have bond, instead should have union specific buffs. No need to make Dolphreeze any stronger.

  • Union: Killer Immunity instead of shield entrance

71

How does that make dolphreeze stronger

72

All he needs in my opinion.

Every strong dolphin will make Dolphreeze stronger, as you won’t be force to play Dolphoenix. Let’s say the new green one is an exact copy of Dracorosa, that will make Dolphreeze better.

If you give them union specific strengths or link strenggts, it will make team building with Dolphreeze atleast awkward.

So the rest of the dolphins need to suck to accommodate dolphreeze

76

They don’t, but they kinda need some power shifted into limiting factors such as link or union.

77

Dolphreeze’s passive works regardless of what the other dolphin’s passives are…

78

But you won’t need to make any teambuilding sacrifices if too many dolphins are top tiers, and both Dolphfreeze and Spectrophin already are.

Dolphariel is straight up trash … Noone can convince me otherwise

I hope I don’t sound like I’m against buffs.

  • Union: Killer Immunity

  • Link Give Turn instead of the nonsense he has now

  • 160 CD on the pseudo stun

I don’t have him, so that’s pure theory crafting.
