F.D Morgan ( Poll and Discussion)

My initial thoughts on her

She will be insane for pve S+, 35 tu attack with attack boost and excessive force should clear things extremely fast

As for PVP she is a solid S- or an A, she has all the means to be insanely good, her only downfall is that her SS has counter synergy with her skills and she doesnt have a healing skill that can easily get her back to above 70 hp

If you can protect her, she could easily win you the game, i wouldnt go too hard on her FD monsters, maive FD monsters are better since they are entrance instead lf revenge

As you later pointed out, the TU on F.D. Confident Strike is a crucial part of what makes her good. Similarly, Fluttering Morph reducing from 160 → 100TU is an important addition you only get from awakening. The extra HP matters a fair amount too, since she is tanky and you’ve built around her so you really don’t want her dying.

That said, she’s definitely highly functional in second form and nearly as good when you factor in the cost difference… I just wouldn’t go as far to say she’s not worth awakening.

I did awaken her in the end, but I’m not satisfied with how little distinction there is between her and Alyce in their second forms and awakened states.

I want players to feel a strong incentive to collect all four shards and fully awaken, with clear, meaningful differences that make it worth the effort and cost.

Understood, and I agree. Alyce 2nd form is silly. In F.D. Morgan’s case I think there’s enough difference going on.

I really like the look of this monster. The 70TU confident strike is definitely the most exciting aspect and I think you’re almost always going to want to use her with F.D. Lotus for the 40% accelerate (note it can even sacrifice itself). However, strangely people don’t use the equivalent for F.D. Maeve so I could be wrong. It’s also crucial to keep her on high HP, which F.D. Salvia helps with (can either sacrifice heal or it heals when it dies).

For the most part, I reckon this will be a setup that revolves around getting that 35TU piercing sweeping going and using that to win a battle. Certainly for PvE that’s the best way to go. However, there are loads of different combinations possible now if you have both Morgan and Maeve.

For PvE this looks exceptional, it’ll just struggle with some revenges. The fact you only need SEs to make the setup and the monster is even good in second form means this is probably a great choice for newer players.

For PvP it’s surely got to be better than Maeve, but it still comes with some of the drawbacks like being medium speed and the setup being potentially fragile. I’m very interested to see how easy it is to ā€œdisableā€ by putting onto low HP. The sacrifice move can still get it kills relatively fast and if there are 3 flutterdrakes then bloodlust does 5k damage with just a single kill so maybe it can work around that.

A couple of weird bits about the design:

  1. The secret skill is basically useless and the restriction on its use is bugged (it’s counting enemy flutterdrakes too?). I don’t understand its purpose.

  2. Counterstrike means all three of the element-killer moves that flutterdrakes have are for killing water. Maybe flutterdrakes are meant to have this weird rock-paper-scissors where they’re designed to be a counter to link water??

Here is my initial analysis for her.

Stop crying about Allyce men
Why you want to kill one of the few monster that can ride and help low pvp playera to get better result
Stop spamming and make a team that can put her down

The problem is her second form is too close in power level to the awakened form. She’s too strong for 12 cost. That’s a completely separate issue to anything about the design or power level of the monster as a whole

But i still don’t get it
If you can have it with no need of awakened, then use it
The problem with Coltraz is like, if i pay mon-_-ey i should have abyssal differences between my awakened and the other monster that everyone can use it

I play this game a lot of tiene ago, and i remember how broken was Lemon in second form, tell me, what time took to get nerfed??
Coltraz need to get out of the Paywall Mind, the monster are not only for him, instead, while the monster it’s good, and after a few months or maybe a year you nerf it, it will make that they 80% of the players that used it, go for the awakened version

You are projecting…

It is plain for anyone to see that Alyce does not have enough difference between the 2nd and awakened forms. The 2nd form is also way too strong for 12 cost. This has nothing to do with Coltraz perspective on things, he’s just one of the people making the effort to voice a complaint about it on the forum.

You are correct that Lemon is another case where the second form had too much of the final form moveset. This has happened a few times. There have also been some cases like with Sakuralisk where it had stun counter in second form which, for the time, was way too good at 12 cost on a tanky monster. Alyce’s 2nd form is doing both these things, it’s eggregious and needs fixing.

But not with the ideas they bring
Remove 150 Dual Bomb and make it the SS (thats clearly a way to get her usable only in awakened, cause lets be honest, the pure sinergy of Allyce is that, stun, get ride one monster and auto-sacrifice)
Remove the Shield on second form
The nerf they are asking are pretty fun cause doing that will better use Tezcatlipoca tbh

I’m pretty sure Coltraz has suggested a bunch of different ideas for how to tweak Alyce 2nd form at this point. I agree the idea this time was too much, but most of the others have made sense. You don’t need to worry, the Devs aren’t going to do something like remove the bomb move from her. They want the 2nd forms of mythics to be playable. The ideal scenarios is the 2nd form being good but the awakened form being clearly better that people are inspired to awaken it but they aren’t put off by it being no good until they get 4 copies.

I think F.D. Morgan here is a great example of a monster that’s very good in 2nd form and lots of people can use her to form brilliant teams (in PvE at least) but she’s even better awakened.

I agree
Allyce is too good in second form
But i don’t get the need of an urgent nerf on her (let me be clear, i don’t use it, i still prefering Aello hehehe)

I use my 2nd form in every PvE team and in almost every PvP when it’s not restricted. It’s silly. She’s been out for a little while now too

A post was merged into an existing topic: New Balance Changes (update 2.59)

Can we stop her from doing Seppuku during auto play?

No, its a part of her design

Ah that’s really bad, I don’t understand how you can have two queens. I don’t know in which hive you saw two queens to do that.

If you had created the new generation of fd for her it would have made sense and it would have been great, but no they both work (maeve and morgan) with the same servants.

but the worst thing is for this morgan you have added weaknesses to the old fd. Daffoli was already a dead weight and now he is vulnerable to the anti revenge movements

You can think of Morgan as an evil queen who was outcast because of her greed and envy — just like how her buff passive doesn’t get triggered by Maeve.
