KRIA Testing! Better than Shamir? ... [Watcher of Realms]

[@MaBucket]

I did not go into her awakenings as this was more of a general test, her awakenings have some very nice bonuses that should make her much more impactful, but I don't think they make up for overall shortfalls. A3 providing a 30% M. Vulnerability is nice, but is not much higher than Marri's 20% which is used in almost every GR1 team. Let me know what you think!

[@Wunderkind04]

What a damn shame. It's almost like the devs don't even do simple tests like this on their side before releasing heroes. I get that the Forerunner server is meant for players to test, but devs should be doing SOME of it themselves. I intentionally got her because I love her look, but she is wet hot garbage. I genuinely hope they buff her, because she is 100% useless right now. And Shamir? He should be a massive dragon killer, but his ratios are low too. Needs a full rework or huge buff.

[@steffensimon2949]

@@Wunderkind04 My guess is, that they want you to keep pulling for the new fighter and not stop, because you got a good one

[@swordreflex]

@@steffensimon2949 this is EXACTLY the reason and it's hilarious because Moonton has no idea how to balance heroes since there is no reason to keep pulling new legendary mages once you have Khamet and Vierna. Khamet is seriously the goat mage and based on what I've seen, he's fairly common and his awakenings aren't really THAT impactful (besides A1) so all you really need is just 1 copy and you're good to go.

[@justinmorales726]

Please make an Ai showcase/guide after this one bro cause 80m is crazy 😭

[@kerolardi]

i'm pulling on the banner only because of deimos 😭

[@MaBucket]

Good luck mate, hope you get him soon :)

[@TheNewRevolution]

Ohhh great. I've been hard stuck in this game for a month. I pull Regulus and the trash can known as Kria. How are you supposed to get good gear to beat the higher stages if you can't beat any of the higher stages and you don't have the good heroes? This game is starting to be very frustrating. I know their goal is to frustrate you to get you to spend money but this is rediculous.

[@fastidious_gg]

Better than Shamir?!?!?! Did not know that was possible - sounds like a #mustpull to me :O Great vid as always man!

[@MaBucket]

Crazy bar for sure but she just about pulls it off :D ta mate

[@parham1023]

I feel like her crows should be permanent and feast for crows should be reworked. The recent mage heroes added werent really good sadly. The fusion hero sucks so bad and now you have kria and boris being trash.

[@MaBucket]

I agree, the crows are a cool mechanic but need to feel more relevant overall. Maybe give her a few that are permanent that gain temporary boosts based on enemy deaths or something like that

[@alexeizaraiov]

That intro was gold! hahahaha Khamet is just a monster, this guy carried me the entire game

[@ccgod]

whats the secrete because I feel like mine sux ass lol

[@alexeizaraiov]

@@ccgod you're joking, right?

[@ccgod]

@alexeizaraiov nope Maybe cuz his ultimate isn't maxed on mine but he doesn't do much on my team

[@alexeizaraiov]

@@ccgod Khamet is imo the best mage in the game. Not only is he an AOE beast, but he does more damage than my Salazar in guild boss. So unless you're building him with Defense and Healing Effect, theres no way he sux

[@MaBucket]

Thank you bro :) Yeah Khamet is truly insane, Vierna had basically the exact same result as Khamet btw! I didn't include her clip as it showed nothing different to him, wanted to show more variety

[@sancarguzel3498]

There is an error while testing Kria + Khamet; at 17:14 you can see Kria doesnt have the atk buff from invigoration set (If there was, we could see a sword icon just below the ultimate description, top left corner) However, Khamet has the invigoration set bonus (+10% of his total attack -? correct me if im wrong-). at 17:20 - Khamet invigoration set bonus. Pretty good video, love your content!

[@MaBucket]

Ahhhhhh bugger! Thanks for pointing this out, I was so focused on placing everyone in the same order and direction that I completely overlooked the RNG of invigoration - very silly of me. I'll be more careful with that in future! It would have definitely impacted the results, but I don't think substantially, but yeah frustrating to have missed that

[@alexeizaraiov]

Also, Ai is awesome! Nice to show her at the end, Ive been using her a lot

[@MaBucket]

Nice man, glad you're enjoying her! I've overlooked her for a long time, easy to not build heroes' if not much has been said about them. Will give her a proper test at some point

[@alexeizaraiov]

What gear should I put in her

[@rameshpeddine7123]

​@@MaBucketAI gear?

[@outshined8341]

Anyone surprised with AI dmg?

[@MaBucket]

Surprised me too! A few people have been mentioning her for a while so I thought I'd throw her in out of curiousity, I knew she was good from the people who'd been talking about her but I didn't expect her to be that good

[@Wardenaz]

Shes good that 800% aoe dmg is ❤

[@AmericanHairlines69]

She does dmg and has a fun kit. Very underrated unit. I reckon she will be crazy once that new ice unit releases

[@aumtehotep]

Killed Aracha in nightmare void rift, with Ai as only damage dealer. She can solo dps 1-19(without buff) , and hit sumthin like 80kk as a second damage dealer at 1-20.

[@S0ftseek]

@@MaBucket time to reconsider Eona as the best epic mage hmm?

[@davelopez8097]

Part of me is kinda glad that the new heroes aren’t that good. Especially if you already have units built for those roles. Good to know the power creeping for new heroes isn’t all that apparent. At least not yet.

[@RaldoronWOR]

Great rundown. I’m disappointed in her performance. Why would devs release a hero who’s just so milquetoast?

[@MaBucket]

Thank you mate, appreciate it. Likewise - I expected her to perform badly but did not expect it to be this bad. I'm very curious to see how heroes are tested when they're designed, I've long suspected their test criteria and teams are just very different to what we use, as we've overlooked powerful heroes in the past as well

[@bobby2947]

How’s about a vid on exclusive artifacts compared to the normal ones 🎉

[@Deadknight67]

I did GR1-19 with Eona and Zelus, 20 with Eona and Laseer, ... if Eona out damage Kria, man, ...why is she even here?

[@MaBucket]

Honestly, I don't really know what her purpose is. I think her high base atk is completely mitigated by Dolores being so meta. It's a shame but hopefully now we're more aware of how this works we'll see this issue less in future

[@samolofsson2401]

if they are going to give legendery heros so low damage multi on their skills like her crows they should atleast attack 1 time per second and in her case it's even more important becuse when critters have died her crows are useless

[@MaBucket]

I want them to change how she gets Birds tbh, make it spawn birds from her ult at least

[@aaronnicholas5477]

@MaBucket next video I recommend doing is showing what champs need a rework or buff

[@MaBucket]

Good idea, thanks mate - I'll start thinking on it and planning!

[@MrAilastar]

That’s disappointing she looks so cool lol

[@MaBucket]

Yeahh she had an interesting kit as well with the bird mechanics, but unfortunately doesn't seem to work :(

[@og_thiiirsty4533]

I’m f2p and have played for 8 days. She’s the first Lego I pulled so I’m using her until I pull someone better. Hopefully she receives a buff 💪

[@wheelinnut1612]

I pulled her when hoping for deimos. She really does suck. Unfortunately for me i only have her, shamir, and zelus for mages 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Rotgobber]

im curious whether Kria is worth investing time into since i just started playing and she's my third legendary the other two being Anai and Cerberus. I have no AoE mages other than Voltus at lvl 50. Should i Build her?

[@SuziPlaysYT]

That thumbnail and title

[@MaBucket]

I couldn't resist being overly mean 😂

[@petemobo]

I just got her and she is my second legendary, first being Regulus. Is she worth investing in vs the mostly rares and a handful of epics?

[@gadgetest4600]

I have a lot of rangers and defenders but almost 0 aoe mages and I asked universe to help me...and today i got 2 copies of Kria. :(( Why this game hates me so much. I have almost all trash legendary heroes.

[@philipwong1676]

You're right bro. Stages 19 and up are freaking tough and we'll definitely want to pull and use the best heroes as we continue to farm gear.

[@MaBucket]

Glad you agree mate, I was worried I'd upset people by calling

[@TaylorHuston]

Why does her attack say AOE but doesn't splash? Is that a bug or does AOE not always mean what I think it means in this game?

[@obione7022]

Thank you for showing, I was happy to get Krea been wishing khomet I got krea the useless I got her if 1 plus 1 summons

[@crossrazor]

I got kria and she wa awesome until g1 and plat 2 i was in love now im like i hopebthey buff her

[@trevorkenny]

I finally get a Leggo AOE mage and THIS is the one. :(

[@b4g4b3l]

is that khamet a0 ? got lucky and finally got him and silas this weekend

[@matheusgabriel673]

Zelus was better with the massive waste of stats in atk spd, so... she's bad

[@MaBucket]

To be fair, the a.spd was all in sub-stats so the alternative would have been flat atk - which would have helped both of them. But yeah I do think he would have scored even better if the gear wasn't as weighted towards A.SPD as it was. Shame!

[@Xein0n]

One other thing that makes her ult even worse when compared to ults like vierna is the fact its 3 instances of damage compared to 1, so her ult has to go through enemy resistances 3 times

[@MaBucket]

Very good point, thanks for mentioning that - I'll keep that in mind with other reviews in future as I do think that is impactful

[@Timko234]

I don't think that matters XeinOn, as the defence is subtracted from attack before being multiplied by damage.

[@frankiej933]

three seperate instances where defense must be subtracted from attack before being multiplied by damage means its less consistent damage then all that multiplier being applied to one instance of damage. 900% damage one time can produce higher damage output more consistently then 3 instances of 300% damage @@Timko234

[@vincentproud6589]

Weirdly feels like she was made for... tide...?

[@aldmerian]

I think she wasn't made to be a solo dps mage. More like supporting dps. She takes high hitting mages and makes them more deadly by raising crows from the corpses of the slain.

[@MaBucket]

That's tested at the end of the video and she was awful at it too :( her dmg output is just generally too low

[@aldmerian]

When do we get to see the REAL test? The important one? Kria vs Shamir vs Crach vs Dassomi....WHO is the worst lego in WoR? dun dun duuuuun! I mean, I hate to take the crown from Crach. But he has some real competition now.

[@MaBucket]

Worst lego test would be quite amusing. I might have to look into this 🤔

[@richardblair2505]

Ya, a lego that cant help with a single area better than an epic is just bad. And the disappointment of 6*ing them to find out they do not help you at all. Its sooo frustrating. I just got Kria. I am glad I saw Fastidious's video. Eona is better. Dont need to waist my resources. A video on who NOT to waist time on would be nice. Even covering some good SOUNDING epics that just turn out bad. Hint Hint :)

[@UlricTheWolf]

Have you done showcase of Kaede yet? He might be in the same boat as Kria.

[@chadinboden4083]

Random Question about setting up and joining a guild. I set up a guild just for myself, just to start off, and have progressed up to Nightmare 3. I'm wondering how I can look around for a new guild to join. I can see the top 10 in the Rankings, but I don't know how to search for specific guilds, or even to apply to join other guilds. Do I have to disband my own guild, to make me unattached, before I can even look around to try to join other guilds?

[@michaelgalt388]

Shamir!!!!!😂

[@S0ftseek]

usually in games like these the units that aren't generally good all around have a very unique niche, and from what we can see from her kit her niche appears to be big constant wave based enemies and there is a content for it: Tide. so knowing that why aren't we evaluating her in her strong point but instead on the strong point of others? its like using nocturne on GR 19 and saying he's not good. i also know (we all do) that Tide isnt rewarding enough to warrant pulling specific heroes for, but that could and will most likelly change in the future (by then all prob have a krya molding in a corner). many heroes are crucial for certain niche jobs (sadie for example, when not cheezing stuff off with immortal heroes XD ty btw for that sinc eits one of the best strategies in the game). in the future please do content on the good and bad's of units. Krya isnt good for GR1, but she may be somehwere else (unlike shame'yr who sucks at everything). also a video on AI is long overdue, the sleeper best epic mage that no1 talked about for long.

[@WoWFtw8]

so in this test, if we give zelus 0 atk speed bonus and just all in critDmg, he would be closer to Khamet? but I also feel like he really needs his artifact to help in later stages with the healing reduction EDIT: would be fun to see a comparion between Vierna and Khamet too

[@kaleinyo]

So a Tide/XP/gold raids heroe. The only content where you have a ton of enemies at once

[@JO-jy1xl]

Perhaps she would be decent in tide, considering she will kill more then 15 enemies and more then enough will remain?

[@georgeriffle4156]

In gold raid and exp raid, she shines. 5 crows no problem. Mine is a beast in there with Marri as a partner.😊

[@donkeykong315]

Don’t love to see that title after pulling a Shamir this weekend 😅

[@ARescuePanda]

I want to say that although she is underperforming vs other mages that she is still very strong for some people. I just started playing the game i am still in the first 2 days and she almost single handedly pushed me to GR1 Stage 18 with the storyline gear. I will say that I have dolores but as you stated in the video it does not do as much as it would do for other mages. Just thought i would play a little devil's advocate here cause every video has been negative about her. Don't get me wrong she for sure needs a buff or bug fix on that basic and some changes on the crows I find that a lot of the time it is hard to keep them up. However when you are pushing above your pay grade in the early game and the waves stack up you can get some really nice damage with them.

[@MaBucket]

In the early game she'll help for sure - basically every Legendary is impactful early due to their higher base stats, and Kria has really nice base ATK so she should be helpful in the early-mid progression stages. She'll just fall off when the content starts to get harder which is a shame. Definitely get as much as you can from her, I'd just advise against investing leg skill crystals into her if you can avoid it as those are very hard to come by. Best of luck mate!

[@ARescuePanda]

@@MaBucket Yea i took her to 6* and such but wont invest too much unless some changes are made. Hopefully we do get some changes cause i would love to see her be a bit better.

[@Errazial]

"Better than Shamir." Oh no, such massive amount of disrespect... 🥶

[@MaBucket]

Ahahah it was a joke on my disc so wanted to continue it here :D

[@shockway1]

Maybe she's a "Tide specialist"? As uninteresting as that sounds it seems like she could pop off in that mode.

[@MaBucket]

I thought it was a possibility, but thinking about it now she's capped at only 5 birds max - which seems almost intentionally placed to reduce her impact in Tide. But she may still have a good showing there, depends on how much targets the birds can hit I guess? I'd definitely be interested to hear if people have success with her there

[@iSwearBear]

That’s so disappointing Any chance we see a buff?

[@MaBucket]

There's a chance, but depends how big of a deal it becomes I guess. If people are upset about it a lot then likely we'll see changes, but as more heroes get introduced I think less attention is paid to specific heroes being weak

[@HeidenherzLP]

question: why does Hatssut have a C in your tier list for Artifact Raid? 🤔 She is extremely devastating to the boss, on the platform. Her ult can reach and will destroy him. ^^ Surely not S+ ,but C? Never.

[@MaBucket]

Sure, she should probably be a bit better. But I assume the first time you cleared AMR18 with worse gear and no PoD you probably didn't use her?

[@HeidenherzLP]

@@MaBucket I did, i only beat 18, because i switched to not use a healer, who did not do much to begin with. Olaque tanks it without any healer, easy. Just need to put him out instantly, and not wait for the boss + put the Will of the North artifact on him (healing when he loses the shield). Then you put your big DPS marksmen up top and from there is was an easy win, tried with Cutter first, but Hatssut did way more dmg and made the 3-star easy, even with her crap gear then. Now she just wipes the floor with him with Domnance and her new stuff.

[@itsjj3329]

If they neft dollors they will then have to balance a lot in the game otherwise there isn't any way to beat content

[@MaBucket]

It's a tough balance, if they release too many powerful heroes people will say it's power creep. If they release too many weak heroes it's dilluting the pool. Releasing heroes just right is quite tricky I think - hopefully they find the happy middle, I think they are getting better at it honestly
