Soul Exchange - March 2024 - Part 1 (Bubbles, Anne, QUEEN Anne, and Athos) In depth review and raids

[@gabe0603]

Queen Anne has been deleted from the social media. I dont think she will be included after all.

[@sdinaro1]

Yup, I saw that right before I released the video. However, bc the lineup can constantly change, I decided to leave her in. I figure an extra hero review is never a problem (especially bc I already did all the work!) Lol, thanks for the comment.

[@danielbest8733]

Great first video! Thanks for the info. This is going to be a difficult choice for me. I don’t have Erlang Shen. Are there other 4 or 5* heroes that Anne has great synergy?

[@sdinaro1]

Honestly, I don't really like her. Her mechanic is sporadic and it is really tough to synergize her. She is better on defense, than on attack. I think Bubbles is a much better hero and I'll discuss these issues in the final recommendations video. Thanks!

Problem with SE is the dazzeling speed of power creep in the game, if you are a regular puller and have a lot of heroes to trade in you most like will find nothing appealing in SE. Bubbles - wud have killed for that hero at the time he came out - but today Pophit/Starwalker/Timius are much better options for ascending

[@sdinaro1]

True, but SE isn't designed for the players who pull every new hero. Like me, I already have them all anyway (except Narcisa). The plauers who play outside the meta don't have most of those heroes you mentioned and neither do the people in their alliance or the alliances they war against. For most people these are great heroes that they don't have and they will benefit from getting them. If you're a meta player then you might benefit from getting a dupe of a hero for a specific purpose, like another Cupido for rush wars. Thanks for the comment!

@@sdinaro1I was about to say that but you beat me to it. It dawned on me the last few weeks that I get more out of it by feeding those 5* heroes rather than exchanging them 10/15/20:1 for a hero that you may not use. I made the mistake with Quintin. I don't consider myself a meta player but I had enough fortune to get 6 or so very strong heroes that no SE hero will replace. But Bubbles may be a good fit for my weaker teams. Was lucky to pull Verus a couple days ago. Trying to level him up. He and Timius will be a great team. Btw, what do you think of Lodius? That hero is insane: very fast, hits 2200, and deprives the target and nearby heroes of mana gain. By himself, he will incapacitate a whole team. That should be illegal.

[@sdinaro1]

@@bambesfresser yeah, for sure. Everyone's roster can use depth somewhere and heroes like Bubble, Narc, Xiaotu may not be new to some, but can still add value. I love Lodius. He's not as hard to counter as he seems, but he is a fantastic addition to my #2 war attack team. My defense doesn't do any better with him on it, but used correctly on attack he adds a huge element that makes that team close to perfect! Congrats on Verus, he's a powerhouse!

[@bambesfresser]

@@sdinaro1 Come to think of it I don't have any of the SE heroes offered this time around. After watching your video and thinking it through, Xiaotu will come in handy. Depth is definitely an issue. Previous editions were not so good but this time is different. Thank you for all the work you put in your videos. Very much appreciated! Btw, I did try to beat a 5600 team with a 4500 4* team. I was able to take three heroes down despite not having a complete set of legendary troops and only one at level 30.

[@ahmedalyousef380]

I see alot of new heroes i demand summons video and nice review

[@sdinaro1]

Demand? LOL!!! Okay my friend, I'll start putting out summoning videos again!

[@fipi13]

Hi maul, thx for great war last sunday, could you pls share your war vids - KommX/Mount Olympus

[@sdinaro1]

Yes, for sure. I promise I'll get that out soon!

[@kevenlesage2286]

The video is nice me i have 2 Anne and i don’t know but she is not very good

[@sdinaro1]

I agree, in fact I removed her emblems right after that video. She will be close to the bottom on my final recommendations video. Bubbles is way better for sure.

[@kevenlesage2286]

Stop lying the game is still fast and you one shot the entire team not only 3 Like before only need to double limit break your attacking hero or you will be destroyed in one shot or you will not doing any damage 😂 bubble is good but you’ll see against hathor it doesn’t work well :lol: Just a gamer opinion game well 😂

[@sdinaro1]

All my attack teams have a dispeller at the same speed as the attack team, so Hathor doesn't bother me, bc if Bubbles is charged then Timmi or Fortuna is also charged. She only affects the ability for it to shift. Like I said, you have to have level 30, 5* troops or you will get one-shotted. If you have the troops, you can easily take average speed heroes now

[@bambesfresser]

@@sdinaro1 "you have to have level 30, 5* troops". But that's it right there. No one in my alliance has five level 30 5* troops. The latest developments have opened up the gap between the spenders and the ones that don't to epic proportions. Over the last year, I was lucky to pull Farrah, Timius, Xandrella, Toon Marjana, and Toon Sartana. Sartana finally finished leveling up. I use this team in raiding without any concern about opponent's team makeup and wipe out pretty much anyone below 6300. On raid defense, I simply put up Farrah, Brynhild, and Marjana. Plenty of attack teams below 5500 cannot even cope with that. When a regular 5* hits Marjana she takes 200-400 damage (if she doesn't resist to begin with). It is easy to see that a regular 5* lineup has no chance. When she fires though, it is typically one shot. Farrah will take out at least one but usually several heroes. A few times, I had it happen, when my team was down to a wounded Farrah, Timius or Marjana yet they still were able to overcome the other team. The point is unless you have the latest generation of overpowered heroes you have absolutely no chance. Erlang Shen and Adalinda were considered great heroes not that long ago. Now, they are basically feeder material. Our alliance founder quit the game two weeks ago in the middle of the war as for the repeated time in a row, his attacks bounced off like rubber. He doesn't have the funds to spend so he couldn't cope that he was left by the wayside. Another long time member left in a similar manner the war prior. We are down to 9 players in war. One war, we faced a 6700 guy with Desmond at tank, a 4300 hp Toon Vivica, Norman, Sha Wujing and another hero I forgot. We barely defeated his team once. Our cleanup guys could not overcome Vivica when she was left by herself (it was rush war). I do have one level 30 purple 5* troop and three more that are level 20 or higher. But I cut my spending to about $20 a month (prior it was $50) as it is impossible to keep up with the flood of new heroes. Unless you spend at least $500 a month, all the efforts are wasted.

[@sdinaro1]

@@bambesfresser Thank you for your well thoight out comment, it clearly took time to write and I can't really respond in a message here, so I'll make a video as a response and post it soon. I'll refer to your comment here

[@bambesfresser]

@@sdinaro1 I appreciate the kind words and will be looking forward to the video! The game has definitely changed with the troops. Color matching used to be the way to go. It definitely is specials now.

[@CB-pb8fe]

@@bambesfresserI’m not a meta player and don’t spend much, however I can still take out teams stronger than myself. With that being said, I have ALWAYS had an issue taking out Vivica. I’ve always wondered how other people don’t see her the way I do. Now that she got even stronger, I literally just avoid any team with her, if I can.
