Hi Misty when you create the party guide for the example of arena you put oliver as pet for alvanor and the arena alvanor has merlin so that could change the battle results of course the game will have a lot rng result possible but maybe it really interfered with the battles on 2:10

[@MistyKathrine]

Yeah I couldn't quite remember what patrons he had though I don't think it would have made too much of a difference in this case.

[@SedduardoC]

@@MistyKathrine merlin patronage is very powerfull

[@theuglykwan]

should have tried aidan with baby rufus with axel patronage. lower hp means the attack is reduced.

[@2drealms196]

Great video, but you didn't really explore Iris's full potential without pairing her with Dorian, Aurora and Sebastian. Dorian is an amazing healer for Iris... especially when paired with Aurora and Sebastian and 1 other high damage dealing hero that sits within Dorian's vampiric aura like Orion, Lian and Heidi. Dorian is also great against the twins teams, while martha's healing gets completely nullified by twins and Aurora.

[@MistyKathrine]

I rarely see Dorian used at all. He's a niche hero at best.

[@2drealms196]

@@MistyKathrine Some of top guilds in the world Olympus and The Gathering make regular use of Dorian. If you see Olympus and The Gather videos they make regular use of Dorian in both attack and defense in Guildwars battles. In Olympus video titled: "Olympus defense & war battles" you can see their entire Guildwars defense lineups and Dorian is used regularly by about 20% of the players defense teams. Herowars Central has praised Dorian calling Dorian one of the best healers in the game. To others reading comments: Dorian's healing for those in his aura is equivalent to the damage dealt by those heroes. So Iris deals a massive amount of damage and attacks regularly, thus receives alot of healing. Additionally this aura remains even after Dorian dies.

@@2drealms196 HWC isn't a high end player.

[@seven7_7]

​@@2drealms196 another issue with dorian is he's like heroic chest/soul box/demon doll only, so hard to get souls for lower end players, and another thing is that actually requires them to attack (dorian gives 115% vampirism aura at max); if you stunlock/charmlock then dorian is useless. if you dodge buff spam dorian is useless (with phys. attack teams). if ishmael activates phantom with ascension then mag. attack could be useless as well. dorian's only actual healing skill is his green skill, which also damages him. i give that iris-dorian has potential for keeping iris alive, but for example if yasmine or jhu or even like dante targets iris and basically puts her at very low health then you need quick, large healing like celeste or something like fafnir's runic shield. and yes HWC is i think a decent youtuber, but as for his game i think his stance is not as effective (again for people who don't know what i'm talking about hwc encourages you to find your favorite hero; what if you decide your favorite hero is astrid and lucas?? but not the point).

[@sirrobin4394]

Is Iris worth maxing out? I'm on the fence with her right now.

[@MistyKathrine]

Yes. There are a few heroes I think that are better overall but Iris is a very solid attacker versus a lot of teams.

[@harryravenclaw4302]

She is the greatest attacker after the ice twins. Just give her a lot of defensive support for survivability like Andvari, Aurora, Sebastian, Celeste, Dorian etc. She doesn't need any attacking support.

[@harryravenclaw4302]

I think you lost the fight because your Lars' health is too low for Iris' huge damage. But anyways, great video!

[@MistyKathrine]

That's part of it though it's not an issue if Iris isn't using Nebula. Dodging the Bitey damage can also make a difference.

[@BitterCurrant]

​ @Misty Kathrine Looks like the loss was mostly because Lars wasn't able to pull off his ult. Whether that's because his health is too low or that Iris' damage was higher than expected via Nebula's pumping, bottom line is Lars' didn't get to even ult and letting the opposing team to survive. Keeping Aurora alive is less important than Lars pulling off his ult, so it might be a red herring. If you aren't already doing so, I recommend inserting Thea where Sebastian would normally go. I found that Thea, when combined with Celeste, improves the consistency in the Twins team. Both Lars and Krista are endangered quickly by any single-hit damage to Lars or multi-hit threats from Corvus to Krista. Not to mention that Thea speeds up Lars when he's low on health.
