Packmaster Shy'ek Can Do This!! Champions Showcase Raid: Shadow Legends [Test Server]

[@georgejonesson6338]

something especially powerful about his passive is that he will almost always be targeted by mischief. meaning he will always be providing hex on that head mitigating its passive redirect. this guy's kit is so insane and for all of the people who skipped, i feel sorry for you

[@Philly1224]

Looking at the skills, I think they will bring in a dog with a decrease cooldown ability. This will allow him to keep taunt up permanently and will make it so it can never be removed (read the kit). Then you can build him to do damage and not have any resistance at all which is normally required for taunt buffers.

[@yoshihara888]

@@Philly1224 there is one already on the A1... I can't remember which one though. Terror beast maybe

[@Philly1224]

@@yoshihara888 no, terror beast has a small chance of increasing the cooldown of an enemy. Not decreasing the cooldown of an ally.

[@yoshihara888]

I’m going to build at least one Goremask…. Almost 1500 base attack for a rare…. Double hit A1, %20 damage on the A2, and the A3 ignores block damage and shield

[@paulx7620]

They know EXACTLY what the dog that's coming is right now. They could tell you but they want to inspire the fear of missing out (fomo). Add stress and incentivize you spending your resources. That being said I think the champ is generally worth going for. But it's 100% manipulation of your emotions "something" is coming. When they already know but keeping you in the dark what that is, is purely to squeeze your wallet. Watcher of realms makes you feel like they actually care and it's not the Asian style art which raid didn't have any competition outside of that anime look until now, but they aren't scummy and you believe they care about you enjoying the game.

[@vernonsaliard3824]

Read his Lore they mention 3 hounds that aren't in game now.

[@cryyc]

They are ingame now. It's a Terrorbeast, a Hound Spawn and a Stitched Beast with simply some fluff names for his lore

[@garys2149]

Even if there a 3 new dogs for him. You gotta pull them. I've been trying for duchess and rotos for 3 years, the dog would be just another on the list

[@MrTeaTwoSugars]

@@garys2149 That's like every champion in the game

[@seanwetrich8299]

If there aren't any good blessings for a champ and I have Cruelty covered, I default to Heavencast. This is especially true for Mischief tanks. You get extra damage per buff, and you're always going to have multiple buffs. Even with a 1 star blessing, you get +.5% damage per buff. That adds up FAST and amounts to a lot of extra damage.

[@vexsis448]

Can cruelty stack up?

[@Neuvillete4.6]

No

[@SkratchPlays]

@@seanwetrich8299 Nature's Wrath will be better for dmg. But honestly the best one for him is brimstone

[@aledstovold3906]

For those struggling with these numbers, if you already have a decrease defence champ on the team, and bring Fellhound with Hex set then his Block Buffs can't be resisted and you have the other stuff so you don't need to worry about his ACC just build for resist. This is assuming his passive only works for Ally attack skills rather than all attacks. If his passive works for all attacks it's probably better to build him in hex set and Fellhound in provok set as a secondary provoker/decrease speed champ.

[@MrManagemiracles]

It's not a bad option but in most cases I already struggle to fit in what I need in 6 slots, so It would hard to sacrifice one more slot, a really really good hound that's worth a whole spot will make the synergy sweet

[@SkratchPlays]

Hi passive doesn't work for hex placed by others, so bringing a hound is pointless in hydra, you are basically trading a good slot for a mediocre champion

[@aledstovold3906]

@@SkratchPlays I know it doesn't, but if his passive only works for Ally skill attacks then it's a dead passive as it is, and with the hound you get decrease speed and hex plus a good chunk of damage with all the attacks he gets shown by other CC. :) just depends how his passive works.

[@cosmic-insight]

@@SkratchPlays if you have 1 hound with him you can use him with 0 acc and 0 res, i know rare hounds are bad but in future if they bring new good lego hound he will be easey to build

[@AnoNymous-ek1wr]

I have Oestrid built in lethal and perception, and she does 100 - 115 million on Hydta hard.

[@somefrankenstein7925]

honestly doing the fusion just for the block buffs at 100%, only have Uugo and Sun wukong for hydra atm

[@amor4keef]

Same reason I wanted to do it. I only have wukong. Unfortunately, I used all my sacred shards for cvc so I can't do the fusion.

[@indrajithak47]

​@@amor4keef you get cvc every other week, but a unique champ very rare. It's common sense to save shards for fusion.

[@ianmoone6562]

Imagine them putting out a good dog as a champion login....

[@isma6049]

He is speciell, hes the only tount champ on a 3 turn which means he can cykel back to it without a reset, so for a normal team hes massive just use another turn meter booster and spd down he will get infinity tount

[@SkratchPlays]

He is not the only one with 3 turns is he? they are epics as well

[@jakubmaka2188]

​@@SkratchPlaysYes, but he is the only one with 2 turn taunt

[@sozulonsoz3716]

​@@SkratchPlays Duedan has 3 turns cd, but the taunt lasts only one turn

[@aledstovold3906]

@@SkratchPlays Yes there is Duedan the Runic with a three turn cool down however his Taunt is only on a one turn, and I don't believe Taunt is a buff you can extend. However if you have a 4 turn Taunt champ that lasts for 2 turns and have a good reset champ you don't need this guy for Taunt, however if you don't have a good reset champ he's so far the only champ that can keep Taunt up 90%/80% of the time with just good speed and speed boosters. So he pairs nicely with a Wixwell Yannaca team if you don't have other options

[@isma6049]

@@SkratchPlays he is the only one with 2 turn and 3 turn cool down, so if you speed tune him you can have a normal team going ham in hydra and dont worry about getting devaour

i really wish we see showcases before a fusion

[@JazzSlayer_]

#2 like the name. Master of pokémons

[@aledstovold3906]

Does his passive work on all attacks or only on Ally attack skills? If his passive works on all attacks then putting him in a Hex set could make sense?

[@user-ww1et9um6o]

I needed him when I started because all I had in my 1st months were my starter champ and all the uncommon and rare dogs My pulls were trash but have made improvements lately

[@bk6010]

I was not going for this fusion then pulled him off an ancient 🤣 I guess I am running with it now, hope he is good. My first Orc leggo

[@MaikTM68]

[@kevinharamia3299]

Hey Skratch, how important is Lady Mikage for this Team? I dont have her, so also Oboro must be changed. Any idea what i could use? Or Just change this two for other Damage Dealers? ..Vizug + Rathalos? I‘ve got a 5 Star Soul for Shy, so I really want to try this team out :)

[@SkratchPlays]

Hi, u can def replace them. Rathalos and someone else that will enable him will be good enough.

[@ajking3184]

Instead of fellhound just get Djmarsa (Skills maxed out). Her passive is crazy. If all your team is full health she focuses team lead (packmaster) and gives him TM boost and her passive reduces the CD of packmasters taunt basically giving it 100% uptime. Put packmaster in hex set so he dashes out hex on his A1. There you go.

[@WaiTu077]

So this is a prediction...they will have a summer fusion party titled "Who Let The Dogs Out🎉" They will have a hound in each affinity. Could be 4 Legendary, or one Mythic, one Legendary and two Epics or two Lendendary and two Epics. Coming this August!😅

[@Diezeldee]

I don’t know Scratch….. there’s just so many “conditions” with this champ. For me, it’s a gem pass and raid card monthly, even with that, spending the resources and TIME isn’t something I find smart. I get the end-gamers and the fact that Palarium with bring out a new hound, which will be behind a huge pay-wall, which makes it look like a trap rather than a cool champ. There been a lot of us in the clan that have been seeing members go for these fusions after watching new content on them. Emptying their resources as well as using all their time, while having way better champs sitting in their vault because these fusions keep them too busy to learn their accounts. Would love to see a clip, just a short one, going out to all the early-mid game accounts about learning to skip fusions, why they would be able to skip, and why it’s OK to skip fusions. Also how using all resources and time to complete fusions, while leaving masteries and gear on the back-burner will keep an account from progression more than not having a shiny new champ. Help us out brother?!

[@SpookySkeptics]

Skratch can you do a video on Maranix in Hydra, her A1 doing so many extra hits could be crazy

[@jamesgish9202]

Why would they purposely makevit so he cant place hex on the decapited heads?

[@zalanmark167]

Hey Scratch, i meneged to pull a 6 star blessing for GRazuk but i can"t decide wich blessing to use on him. I have quite a buff heavy NM hydrateam but he dosnt have to much resistenc so i put Crushing rend instead of havencast, what is you thoughts about that? ( i have a 5 star cruelty on Krisk in the team). I went for this fusion cuz i have strange feelings about him being good in the future if they introduce some better company Champion .

[@georgemccray2730]

I think that all of the current dogs should get buffs. All of the ones listed in one patch.

[@MrManagemiracles]

This game needs better provoke champions for hydra - they can have a passive which applies provoked for 2-3 turns if the target is a boss - that way they will not mess with pvp but provide very good value in hydra

[@jmangt]

Plarium is playing themselves by not letting the CC's have the champions before the event starts. this is the kind of video that might motivate someone to do the fusion if they are on the fence.

[@jamesgish9202]

Why do you have crit rate on mikage? Does she have good multipliers? Ive never saw her with crit rate

[@jamesgish9202]

Who can you replace maulie with? Negrigante archer?

[@thomaskaffl1937]

I don't understand why your team dont get fear from the head of torture.... you have to be under perfect veil, or not?

[@SkratchPlays]

Because of Inquisitor Shamael and his passive

[@cipriani8160]

hopefully scooby is the next fusion :)

[@GorchaxGaming]

I am not doing the fusion. I am 5 months in so barely midgame, but he dont bring anything super useful to my roster. I am also not getting fomo for the new hound, because packmasters kit will most likely not change, I doubt the hound will get companion skills, so he is either gonna be good. Or not good. And if its good its probably good no matter if you have the packmaster or not in which case i can just get him as standalone. Also availability.. will it be guaranteed login, 20 sacreds? Fusion? Or rng x10 summon event.. I dont even know of ill ever get this allegedly good pack companion. No thank you plarium. Im saving resources for something impactful, not something that might maybe, perhaps if I spend doleros, be good at some unknown point in the future.

[@indrajithak47]

5 months in and he's not useful? I've been playing for years and and can see the uniqueness in his kit.

[@GorchaxGaming]

@@indrajithak47 unique, maybe. But he adds nothing for me. Resources are scarce earlygame. For me, his value is not worth the cost of an entire fusion. Gotta prioritize where to spend the resources at my level to best progress my account. Wixwell gave me 1key unm. Thats a good investment. This one does not progress my account in either hydra or hardmode dungeons or arena.

[@Jimbojoebob]

HP champs are great and easy to build.

[@vc120i2]

Out of curiosity is eostrid good in Relentless or just all speed.

[@SkratchPlays]

Hi, yes she can be good like that as well

[@Turtleshellon]

She is excellent in relentless but in pvp so you can rock people to sleep over and over. A bit of a problem in pve because her buffs drop off from her taking many turns. You can get around that but it does bring issues.

I have her in savage and she hits hard!

[@haydeezz]

so .. if i dont do hydra and i dont care about it.! what else can i do with this fusion outside hydra ?

[@jameretief2005]

Depends on where you are in your account progression. If you don't have it covered he would be fairly good in Fire knight w/hounds for all of the extra attacks they can make on the shield to break it fast. Him w/Fellhound(s) in control sets could work in Spider as well if you need a way to deal with the spiderlings. The same setup could also help with any other wave based content while you progress.

[@haydeezz]

@@jameretief2005 so per total is not that bad as for example the rabit fusion !

[@jameretief2005]

@@haydeezz I think people will find this fusion has a lot more utility in other areas. If we simply ignore the hound synergy, his Taunt/Unkillable skill is easier to maintain in a loop than Emic's. Once the Big Brains start theorycrafting with him we'll see a lot more of his potential usefulness.

[@jamesgish9202]

Depending on where you're at with your account he could also be good in spider. All the spiders would attack him. As well as fire knight like the other guy said

​@@haydeezz you can build him in stone skin to counter siphi, rotos, mortu and more just with the taunt alone.
