ALL ESOTERICIST HEROES Ranked! Worst to Best FULL BREAKDOWN + Diamond Giveaway ⁂ Watcher of Realms

[@fastidious_gg]

DIAMOND GIVEAWAY GUYS! Please, in the comments, describe which Esotericists needs a rework the most and what you think that rework should look like! I will choose 3 winners who will receive free diamonds from Moonton! :D

Fun fact: ferssi was also available when filipa and drayga were accidentally obtainable, but he wasn’t added to the gallery until many months later on the official release, as well as being much rarer to get at the time Making him have the most intriguing release of any hero in the game!

@@fastidious_gg 8 months ago is a throwback!

[@JasonP46]

I'd love for Nisalt to be reworked: - Remove prep time for vials. Fixed attack speed? - Allow him to distribute vials to enhance nearby allies' attacks. Either def/m-def reduc, enhanced damage, or aoe on hit. - Ultimate becomes an auto-cast like wrath and is how Nisalt distributes the vials. More rage regen=more distribution. Not sure how that'd look, but empowering stronger heroes is a great way to stay relevant, and if a newer player gets Nisalt, they'll be able to use them to prop up sub-par heroes during the campaign.

[@dexiden]

Love the content and appreciate how much time you actually put into it! For me the rework, I would love to see cyclone get a do over! Give him more dodge, make that feauture viable, also up his stats a little bit! maybe add on his basic attack "for every basic attack his dodge will increase by 10% until he dodges, resetting the stacks" thus getting gale out more often? also i gotten say he even looks cool!

[@ronnyleong1970]

Really great content, been waiting since the hiatus of the last faction tier list 😃 Any chance of covering legendary and/or epic lord tier list once all factions are covered? I didn't see much coverage in it especially for epic lords and the last one from you was pre-Ain rework / Abyzou / Rork / upcoming piercer lord For Esotericist, my vote is Venoma, since her kit is kinda outdated nowadays and she's almost never worth it to be placed. 1. Makes her ultimate manual toggle so we have more agency for her AoE 2. Her curse and hex debuff is not interacting with each other and looks cluttered. To strengthen her, makes her normal basic attack hit multiple units (3 maybe, can adjust her cursed proc rate). Remove her A5 basic attack +1 and change it to "apply hex to enemies after curse debuff expired". Better unique CC on her basic skill, with A3 and A5 she will first apply Cursed + Hex, then Curse debuff will reapply after Hex debuff is over, prolonging her dps & slow utility so she will be a unit to gum up lanes when placed. Even on basic A0 she is worth placing for the rare Curse debuff and on demand ult to slow and minor dps. Can adjust her % as necessary. ID: 9387495(60026)

@@fastidious_gg bro I just used your n8-14 guide and finally beat that damn level after almost a week of trying. And guess who I got from the legendary summon.....Idril!! 😀 as a ftp I'm very happy with her. Thanks again! 💙💙💙

[@ianmcclellan7269]

Venoma needs a rework the most probably. Amazing Lord skill, and her kit would be cool and sufficient if her damage were just a bit better. Not sure if that qualifies as a rework or just a buff... Also not sure if i would want better base stats or just better multipliers... Bonus: i think Selkath probably needs a true full rework. The bouncing bubbles idea is cool, but he needs more oomph to his kit. I'd like to see the bouncing bubbles just be part of every auto attack, and then his ultimate should be one huge bubble (like Nami in LoL) that does a big aoe knock-up plus a bunch of dmg.

[@jandrickaguilar979]

Elowyn was my third Lego, and she really helped me a lot.

[@dnaseb9214]

Isnt Selkath good for that 1 boss in the codex that demands high attack speed ?? Kalina is quite good for me, I use her to get my clan dragon chests, for that shield codex boss, for single target arena platinum.

This is a big help thanks, been playing this great game 124days only. Cyclone is one of my first epic summons. He looks like a tornado rather than a cyclone. I hope they increase his attack range throwing tornadoes and MAYBE the creators might change his ULTI, knocks back monster to other line of attack... that might give additional fun and strategy using him.

[@theSociety_]

Hey dude, I love the series and the work you do in general. Have you considered putting like videos in folders for easier access and accessibility? I'd absolutely allow this to run from top to bottom to capture all the knowledge. If this is a thing and I have overlooked it, forgive my ignorance, please.

[@johnshaffer4353]

Cyclone really needs it the most. He looks really cool and the design is cool. They should increase his HP a lot to make the dodge a bit more valuable and create an effect when he dodges.

[@LapsedPacifist79]

First, really enjoying the series and the effort you’re putting in with the website. It’s good having a place to point the newbies towards over on the subreddit and a proper reference centre. Good phone compatibility too which is so often overlooked. Needs a rework? Cyclone is probably the most obvious. He’s useless, one of my first pulls and I still barely used him. As for what form it should take that’s easy. Just make him function as a fighter. Not be like a sheet of wet tissue paper and actually be able to hinder the enemy. As it is a freeze is about as effective, he’s practically unusable. Who I would LIKE to see get a rework is Selkath. There’s something about him I really like, if those bouncy bubbles caused some proper mayhem that would be really cool. Venoma being placeable would be nice as well, she wouldn’t have to be great, just bring her in line with the other lower tier legendary lords. 5938178(50071)

Honestly, I pulled Venoma from the Nascent summoning and told myself why would I use her over Cyrus, who I have and fully built.

Great series Fasti, was looking forward for new video. Just to clarify something, Kalina stuns HERSELF after ultimate, not the enemy :D ... big L, the hero is garbage

[@fastidious_gg]

Wow I actually missed that. Unreal

[@93xDmario]

I totally agree, Elowyn is crazy. I'm stuck at GD II - stage 6 because I don't have her. I don't lack the damage, but my heroes just die. My Silas with 25K hp dies in stage 6 at some point, Hollow can't keep him alive. Hell, Hollow can't even keep herself alive and she has 29K HP + 16K ATK & 443 ATK SPD, which I'd say is pretty solid for a ATK based healer. At this point if a gear piece doesn't have HP bonus or rolls a great flat HP, I don't even bother using it, regardless of the other stats roll ( unless it's something really crazy ). Without Elowyn GB2 is hard, GD II is borderline impossible and so on...and man is hard to find good gear ( 3 good offensive options ) with a good HP / HP% roll...sometimes I sacrifice offensive stats for HP, but it's a really fine balance...

[@fastidious_gg]

you don't need her til stage 8 so no excuse to be stuck on 6 ;)

[@blood2ripper]

Cool video! Did you leave out Init on purpose, or you didn't want to go over him again since you covered his kit on the arbiters ranking?

[@fluxrono1811]

For your site I think th3 notes will be good, expecially on the content rating. Like s+ healer, s+ support, s+ damage, s+ freezer, s+ lord skill. Also for the faction trials think it would be good if you only put a rating there for lords if they are placed. Otherwise just saying faction lord is good imo.

[@wammesbommel3619]

Love the series! And holy moly, we indeed do have an Elowyn problem in the game... I think Cyclone needs a rework the most, just based on the extreme disappointment I feel when seeing him. I do not like the dodge mechanic (adding more rng), so that should leave him (and the game). Because he is a Cyclone, his range should be extended and he should do AoE damage, with still a bit of cc (stun/slow/knock back) in his kit. He surely can improve a lot without being overpowered.

[@darkphoenix2169]

Im really glad i got khamet as my first legendary hero he is no lord but i just really like him, not that legoes need to be lords to be good but im really glad i got him i would be where i am in the game without him. Also have a damn good day.

[@lorenczak]

Love my Cyrus... still waiting my my cheat-code, I mean... Elowyn.

[@sorrowfist6156]

I believe FIlippa, her ult is lack luster the 6 waves of arrows to (1) enemy, I believe it should either be changed to deal damage to more enemies or make it a better single target dps by making it when her arrows hit a target it lowers mag dr or can be used as another penetration means where it allows 30% penetration for 8 secs to all surrounding allies and goes up with ult skill upgrades, the reason i think this way is she doesnt do anything special thats usefull, her ult is underwhelming and with penetration you could at least make use of her ult to make other heroes deal increased damage.

[@Thugzilla90]

Elowyn is mommy, Cyrus is daddy from the Esotericists.

[@fastidious_gg]

not gonna argue with that

[@aldmerian]

I see Ingrid's kit as a foreshadowing for a future where rage regen becomes less and less relevant for new heroes. We might see our green ladies lose some utility if that were to happen

[@M44lin]

Hi Fastidious , according to me Elowyn is a bit too broken according other healer (as dolores aswell) and that s why she used pretty everywhere and for me, even im a pretty new player, too powerfull char like that need a little rework to made them a little bit less powerfull In this case Elowin should have maybe less range, or no add , or less heal, or no rage regen.... well thing you get my point Thx for all your helpfull guide and tips take care dude

[@M44lin]

Maybe if she was unable to heal herself as a cerbeus would be a nice solution , big burst heal and many advantage BUT die till a certain amount of dmg / time

That’s not true. She for sure benefits. Two ways to build her - normal dps - or just debugger spammer build with high atk speed and rage regen to get the crystals and freezes coming

[@yonghou6536]

Kaede, the bro stops attacking when he cast ultimate, making him unable to be placed alone because no one’s gonna help him last hit the cursed monster to summon his bird. The rework should be very simple, he should still be able to attack when he uses ultimate

[@mpkhulk]

I think Seraphina could use a rework. Her single magic dmg is good up to mid game and for campaign, but for a legendary, she's pretty underwhelming. If her ult became AOE and lasted longer, she could be viable for more parts of the game. I used her a lot beginning to mid game, but now she keeps the bench warm.
