Dont think he is worth ultra evlove
His last passive skill is stealthy entrance
he is not stun immune…
he can’t easily kill by assasinate though
Risky Heal is nice…but aside from that, he’s basically garbage.
Protect Focusers will need to be much more interesting than this to be playable. His moveset is really weird to me.
Im wrong, another prey for galvbane lol.
What’s his speed?
Good thing i never ultra evolve him…should be good partner to cosmo or nebel…xD
He clones himself next not the next monster
Saw him do that in the dungeon
Meh, not going to try and get it.
Im opting out on this one.
hope they bring gearcroc and seraziel soon instead of such nonsense.
Im not hope that happen too soon
Everybody hates this guy already, but I think he could be interesting when paired with step back/pull back monsters and or firemane.
It’s easy to get to 40. Take him and stop there…
I actually think he isn’t terrible.
The whole point of him is for him to protect focus, then clone next. If one of your guys dies, then you have the next guy come in. Then you risky heal him. This has 2 outcomes:
-
He dies and brings another sweeper in. Making another headache for the opponent. This results in having 3 sweepers protected by a cloneing protect focus.
-
He doesn’t die and you now have 2 protectors on the field. This makes a lock that is really hard for your opponent to break because of more clone nexts. Then the next couple of kills goes something like this:
Kill protector,
Next one comes in,
Risky heal the next one,
Protect with him,
Clone next.
Etc. . .
All the while your sweepers are happily killing the enemy team.
The main issue here is that the protect chain can be broken by bad luck. If he had a move that was useable once per battle that healed one target monster to full, then he would be quite good. Let’s hope the devs do something like this. He isn’t worthy of replacing another SE protector until then.
I still don’t know why they give protect focusers an attack all move. Absolute waste of a slot.
That idea is definitely interesting, but where do you put Lunalord? If you start him at your frontline, you risk an easy KO by Shadowyrm or an Assassinate because he can’t depend on his passive to stop that hit. He can be stunned too, with Galvbane and Gallio being another popular frontline monsters to stun. The Turbonight frontline also negates the strategy with its speed, but I guess you can counter that with some adjustments. Same for the stun, but you’d need Leogeist.
If you put it on your midgame with the hope to stop a gap by making a potential clone chain that allows you to make a comeback, you have the stealth entrance to rely on, but Autopoisoners completely counter him by breaking his passive and killing his clones instantly. And Autopoisoners are pretty common on midgames. He’s also very weak to Knock Back, and once knock backed, he’s almost dead weight.
And also, he’s pretty slow, so the clone might die before being able to continue the chain. If I understood your example correctly, you suppose that a monster other than him will die while Lunalord is protecting. But if your opponent takes down your mons one by one, shouldn’t be the likeliest outcome that Lunalord is killed while protecting, letting his next clone come in and forcing him to Risky Heal himself? I may be wrong though, I’m not an experienced PvP player, but I’m basing these theories on what I saw this session around the 550-700 point mark.
I’m not saying that he doesn’t have a lot of counters. Which he does. I’m just saying that this is how I think the devs meant for this monster to be played. There would need to be quite a meta shift with the autopoisoners going out and something else coming it for this guy to be reliable, or giving him poison immune or something.
He will need a change in order to be useable though. That is for sure.
What would be nice though, is if they are using him to introduce the idea of a never ending protector. Then they change nebel to be the reliable version of him.
Edit:
Had another Idea for nebel. Increase his speed, give him stealthy entrance and clone next, then give him backstab and pullback.
Yes, tl;dr, the meta needs a drastic change to welcome this guy, but I really like the effort on putting a spin to the Protect Focus concept. I’ve always thought they needed a buff of some kind or a rethinking considering they are outclassed by the absorbers in almost everything.
About your Nebel idea…looks good. I’m guessing he would keep Death Revenge so you can duplicate constantly and Backstab your copies. Sounds annoying as hell.
That’s right. Keep the death revenge.
I like the duplicating monsters, we just don’t have any actually good ones.
I won’t probably use him that much… Well i said same thing of fire lion and now i really love him lol
Lunalord would’ve been really good for a continuous chain of protectors, but its speed is really slow.
Ahaha you’re right. I said it mainly because I have two premed class midterms next week so it wasn’t worth going for even if its at floor 40. lol.
Maybe I’ll give it a shot when I’m taking a break from studying.
For me its waste of slots, robinator food
Midline - end line usually got some autopoisoner enemies so that stealth enterance would be useless
