My experience with Mythics

Neo Monsters
1

Originally I wanted to write this thread down as a complaint about how poison’s nerfs last update were either poorly handled or just completely unnecessary, Freezecobra being the poster case, but then I realized that this is just consequence of a bigger problem: whales having to win at all cost.

Now for those that don’t know I’m a F2P that, between clever spending and a good amount of luck, got to awaken 2 mythics: Gorgodrake and Asmodia. Because of this I’m in the position to say that, if you’ve never owned a good mythic, you have absolutely no idea how massive the advantage they bring is.

Reason being that facing them in game is only half the picture: the real advantage comes out during teambuilding. Before awaking Asmodia I was in the middle of a teambuilding decision, but the moment I hatched her that decision was made for me: she was way better than any other legendary sweeper I had, and because of the low cost I could keep one extra SS on.

Gorgodrake’s even worse because as long as you get the 3 shards frankly you can just keep him in 2nd form and he’s going to work at pretty much full power for only 11 cost.

And in practice? Well I consider myself a good teambuilder, but as a player I suck major ■■■■; and while my collection is pretty good, I limit myself to only play one strategy and barely consider the meta when building. There is no way in hell that someone like me should hang out with the big boys, and yet, the moment I started building around Gorgodrake I started taking down top players left and right.

What about this update? Before the poison nerf personally I considered 3 monsters to be one step above everyone else in the archetype: Scorpiogeist, Deathgazer and Gorgodrake. You know which one didn’t get the hammer.

Before the update poison was one of very few strategies able to take down mythics if used properly, as a consequence it was annihilated. Just like Haniwei and Cani AoE before it. (granted I do believe Cani had most of it coming)

@DonT89 himself told me that it’d be no fun coming back now as he feels he’d “dominate uncontested”. I’m all for rewarding your spenders, but there’s a limit.

As I already told you I feel like Cobra needed a speed nerf alongside with poison entrance, the main problem is that too many OP mythics remained untouched like our lady Lemon or Cynthia. But that’s the side problem.
The main problem is how mythics are handled in their middle forms (some of them very OP), and how difficult is awakening them.
So despite having few top spenders account around, F2P are not a threat at the present moment.

Not really the point of my post, but in which situations exactly do you feel like Freezecobra with 87 speed would be problematic?

Idk about this . Mythics or no , there are very skilled players around here

Tbh … It needed that nerf . Just like dusci , cobra is now a balanced support monster who can kill on his turn . But I agree with ur argument regarding mythics .

If you run a poison counter you will kill my Gorgodrake, but that’s not really the point.

No, it can’t. It need to gas first unless you build around it, and in which case you should be rewarded. Again though, how do you think an 87 speed Freezecobra would be problematic without Toxic Entrance? I’m asking for a strategy.

Many situations. Freez bring way too much effort if his speed is high, now is more balanced.

Of course, now there is no spam pola + freezercobra

When I said I consider Leira the best monster in the game I gave a hard example: front line, 5th, and how to follow.

Can you do the same?

Not interested in playing Leira tbh

Unreliable, not worth running, and you’re just salty from the other thread. Grow up.

Dodging the question is not a great look mate.

Looks better than crying after a nerf Imo.

I’d rather cry after an unjust nerf than cry for a nerf just because I didn’t get enough free wins. Granted if someone was clapping my cheeks with poison while running Goch I’d be mad too.

Still not giving me an answer by the way.

You answered yourself why poison needed a nerf.
Was even overcoming counters.

I am not interested in giving you an answer when you are doing totally trash talking out of frustration.

Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but you were the only person that managed to lose with an auto win button like Goch.

And don’t complain about trash talk when you start it champ!
