Thank you Michael

[@clovisserni]

excellent video bro, please explain the pasive hab of kai. bless for you.

[@t-me8295]

Thank you brother

[@HarimotoSatoshi]

Hi, Timmy, I am thinking that this hero is designed to deal with navy but not used to battle with air or army. From the description I understand that Stromoy’s silence has no effect on him, meanwhile the heavy armor from Stromoy and Crimson is thin air to Kai’s attack. So can you please make a test comparing the performance battling with navy?

[@anasshehab8784]

Thanks!

[@t-me8295]

Oooo. Thank you so much , Eagle. You are always so generous

[@LorDeadly]

Thanks for your perfect testing and effort

Thank you nemesis. It took me almost 3 hours just to upload. Thank god Sunday I’m home

[@abdullahgamer770]

Timmy, I have a suggestion that it takes 13 months to reach three heroes, so I hope they can sell the 8-hour speedups in a store so players can buy them and get them quickly. (For f2p)

[@t-me8295]

Ye. True. Would be useful. It more in the events

[@jitendrayadav-47]

Keep an eye on treasure store. Purchase all the speed ups from bakery event and get them in alliance defense. And some from deep sea All these will reduce time from 13 months to likely 6-7 months

[@t-me8295]

Very true. Thank you Jitendra ♥️

[@arenarogue311]

T me, I am not sure we are looking at this correctly, specifically with Cranston. I know the game wants to promote the vitality stacking, but if you look at brady vs Cranston; Brady gives 50% damage increase for both reg attacks and triggered skills each round at ex 5 (100% at ex 7). This stacks up to 200% and outpaces cranston (30% each round) until round 6 for only regular attacks, most fights dont go that long. I think in all situations brady is better than cranston even when paired with duke, kai/barbie. Also kai at lvl 5 garentees 100% trigger rate and all special effects from gear that activate with active procs will always apply. TLDR: I dont believe duke/crans is the strongest comp for either barbie or kai due to Brady's higher damage % modifier, and when you factor in specoal effects from gear having a 100% proc rate, Kai really does seem to perform better than Asuka.

[@Top10nTravel]

I currently run gypsy striker brady. Would like to try kai striker/shinji and brady. Will this work?

[@UKvipercon26]

Vitality stacking with Duke, Cranston and Kai (es5) would give a 70% DMG+ to regular attacks per round for so round 2 =140% and the 3rd finishing at 210% and lasting the rest of the battle (Cranston also adds another 10% to regular attacks from his skill), I think overall that is a pretty decent buff but Duke doesn't fit the role entirely as his skill doesn't receive any benefit from this, whatever TW has in mind for the next AF hero may complete Kai and Cranston but for now the other AF options will be more optimal.

[@arenarogue311]

@UKvipercon26 I think you are missing the point, the only variable would be Cranston vs Brady. Let's say duke is a constant or not at all, all other things are equal. Brady damage buff is greater than Cranstons and it effects all attacks not just regular attacks.

[@UKvipercon26]

​@@arenarogue311 which is why I point out that maybe with the next AF hero to release may make it more of an optimal march if they have Indestructible, Vitality and some form of regular attack. I have no doubt that currently Brady, Asuka and and whichever Indestructible hero you may use would be the current best as TW seems to be leaning in the direction of Heros that work together in a march as opposed to a 1vs1 scenario.

[@UKvipercon26]

​​​​@@arenarogue311 the only thing I was trying to point out was that the Vitality buff from all 3 heros in a March gives a higher DMG+ (in fewer rounds) than Brady alone, which also buffs all 9 slots and unit types for encirclement users, with the downside being that it has a more niche use case for the heros that can utilise it. Then again Brady also gains DMG- with Decoys and spreads ignition with them rapidly (es5) giving him better uses with the current heros we have.

[@tennbarker1063]

I have shinji 5* es5, and cranston 5* es5, for my Air Force. Still using tsuru but looking to replace her with either kai or abad. Do you have a recommendation which one I should replace tsuru with.

[@t-me8295]

Kai would take advantage of Cranston

[@michaelwu6824]

Great video as always T-Me! Thank you for the excellent and honest analysis as always! -- Side question - do you know if River Games increased the Application requirements needed to transfer servers? 1 Month ago (Last time I checked) I needed 16 Applications to transfer servers, Suddenly yesterday I needed 18. I only upgraded my Shark formation level (Not my Tier), No other hero upgrades. Other alliance mates have noticed this as well.

[@t-me8295]

As far as I understood: the cheapest amount of tickets will be up the 18th of January. Check now to see how much tickets you will need based on your cp

[@michaelwu6824]

@@t-me8295 Hmmm... Thats the weird part, it was cheaper before. Im about 33.3M CP at my highest (Per your new video) so hopefully it goes back to the 16 tickets I needed previously - cuz not going to lie - requiring 2 more tickets now for doing nothing, does tick me off quite a bit

[@carlosbartomeus]

Hi T-me, first of all... ...Happy birthday!!!! I wish you a great day. As always, thx for your time testing new heroes (among other great things), you help a lot to the community. FTP and low budget players really enjoy your knowledge. O T question, can you tell me if the extra crystal discs from NW will be used in some other event or can I waste the in the temporary exchange shop to get those nice catalysts? Thx again. 🎊🎉🎊🎂

[@jitendrayadav-47]

There will be no use of them atleast for a few couple of months so it's safe to use them however I suggest to use rnd and tech chest items first 😂

[@carlosbartomeus]

@jitendrayadav-47 thx for the answer, also a nice plan 😜

[@t-me8295]

I don’t think we will have another base lvl cap raise. I heard if no plans and makes sense. Get the goodies Thank you for the wishes ♥️

[@t-me8295]

Absolutely. Thank you Jitendra to the massive help with the DMs

[@NerfFanny]

geez. you flex your skill again. :( gg support

[@t-me8295]

I would honestly had preferred to invest all this resources into asuka lvl 7 ..but I’m doing this in the hopes to help you guys . To see crystal clear what the battle reports show

[@TheRobertGriffith]

First if you’re going to test hero trios for how a hero does, I would have only replaced one at a time. Your current march would have been fine and only replaced Asuka. Second with Kai only proccing from front two rows I would NEVER use Cranston. His Vitality maxes out at only 90 and is regular damage only. Brady takes an Extra round to max, but tops out at 200. It’s also notable to say it’s higher every round than Cranston even at lvl 5 exclusive, but if L7 it’s 100 first round and 200 second round and is ALL damage, not just regular damage. Also notable Brady has damage reduction as well as more damage+ and helps your Shinji’s attacks from front two rows or better Duke as he has Vitality that would stack with Kai too. Duke/Kai/Cranston’s dam+ maxes out with L5’s at 210%, while Duke/Kai/Brady with all L5 maxes out at 320% with 200% of that helping Duke or Shinji, which ever you choose to use.

[@t-me8295]

I will do that Robert. But Sunday. Today I’m extremely busy with packing bags etc , Saturday is the traveling day

[@richcale2355]

Would it make sense to replace Max with Kai paired with Brady and Shin?

[@ShrOniCek]

Maybe these new heroes like your setup will work better with scorpion formation?

[@t-me8295]

The name of this he game remains : Faster, more hero procs while hoping the opponent has less.

[@FlowOw0702]

hi t-me and hello guys, I need some help. I haven't been playing for that long and wanted to concentrate on Army and have Brynhildr, Ben, Amalia, Duke, Polik and Preycis as heroes, for example. Can you tell me what a good 2 hero march would be and who I should swap with whom in the future when other heroes are available again?

[@abhhonny]

Hello Timmy, just wanted to confirm tht it is slot 5 for airforce that is best for HT? Does maximo affect? I have maximo asuka striker and shinji tht I could use for airforce

[@t-me8295]

You need the HT on slot 5 …1 million % due to maximo

[@abhhonny]

@@t-me8295and without Maximo is still slot 5? Sorry to ask so many times.

[@shivangss823]

Hi.timmy, can we use maximo Kai Duke?

[@cihangiruysal]

Hello T-Me thank you for your valuable analysis please let me ask you What about Brady+Kai+Abad ? Can these 3 heroes be any better than Duke+Cranston+Kai? I know this combination has a nice vitality but I need to know for a strong air setup

[@t-me8295]

I will test that tomorrow but my expectations are : Duke Cranston and Kai must be all 3 in a march. Otherwise it makes no sense to invest in such limited heroes . Limited : cause their max performance can ONLY be achieved under certain narrow circumstances

[@cihangiruysal]

@@t-me8295 Thank you and I'll be waiting for your test.

[@t-me8295]

@cihangiruysal Brady Kai abad test video is ready. Max 30 mins to upload it buddy. And do the thumbnail

[@thomashalliwell8390]

Hi Timmy, happy birthday. My current march for air is max shinji and gipsy, who do I replace? I could replace max for Kai? Or replace shinji with duke?

[@t-me8295]

Maximo ‘s weakness is the HT in healing. Try gipsy shinji kai

[@Streakz2k]

Kai as a hero seems good but his recommended team sucks lol, will be interesting to see how much he drops off paired with Brady and shinji

[@t-me8295]

I will try my best to test that. But his performance will be lower with shinji and Brady

[@hene2821]

Im using shinji max Asuka, can I use Kai for shinji so I can replace mega for navy with shinji...??? I hope I didn't confuse you lol

[@t-me8295]

You did confused me. 😂 Yes you can do that

[@ShaunHensley]

I have been waiting for an AF HP hero so I could move Asuka to Army and retire Polik. Unfortunately my AF currently is Bradly, shinji and asuka

[@t-me8295]

Kai won’t beat asuka from many perspectives. But sure. It will work

[@TheRobertGriffith]

He won’t using Cranston! But you should retest using Brady instead of Cranston. Cranston is the MOST Worthless hero they have produced for years!

[@t-me8295]

@TheRobertGriffith true Robert

[@MrBlackQA]

At the moment im using Maximo-brady-striker Is it worth to. Invest kai and replace with maximo?

[@t-me8295]

I would say : asuka 100%. The issue with maximo is when you fight without HT. otherwise he is fine

[@MrBlackQA]

@@t-me8295 now im praying to have asuka offer again to. Buy it 😭😭

[@Zoushi-1054]

Great video again. How about serval instead of cranston? As she have a 80% regular damage increase and she allso have the combo attack. I know servals att buff is weaker then cranston but i think it could be a fun idea to test. Happy birthday in advance 🎉

[@t-me8295]

I have skipped serval. Sure sounds interesting but not more than that. As Cranston will skill buff higher

[@ppriyank]

I know Maximo is old, but does adding him make a difference. Does Kai's extra hit, trigger Max's laser?

[@munimuni1086]

Nope kai's extra hit won't trigger any active skills and adds rage.

[@t-me8295]

Nope. He won’t

[@t-me8295]

Thank you for helping out ❤️

[@carlosazuara4037]

He doesn't do that, but he does activate inactive abilities. It's kind of confusing 😅

[@t-me8295]

True , Carlos

[@live_life_day_by_day169]

How can I get Asuka chards right now?

[@t-me8295]

You have to wait for rivergame to make her available with money and a small chance ( maybe) with a lucky treasure ( for gems )

[@realsteel8113]

Good job testing. Wasn’t impressed with him before, and still not impressed 😬

[@mariusdragan8785]

Do you also upgrade the perks when you test them ?

[@t-me8295]

Ofc. Always. I have 15 sets of full perks

[@mariusdragan8785]

@t-me8295 wow that is unbelievable, I will really love to see a video where you only upgrade and buy the requirements for hero. I still don't know how you get so many gold shards in such a sort time.

[@t-me8295]

I’m sending a little bit + always preparing for a new hero . If I wouldn’t have had this KZbin channel , I would have skipped many heroes : Kai is one of them. And I would have invested my resources into asuka to lvl 7 or other great heros . But I need each new hero at 5 stars and lvl 5 in order to show it to you guys

Does Asuka's status damage dot count as ignition? It's described as 'a type of status damage, includes ignition and magnetic pulse' I got a titan gear that has the Flammable special effect - "if the hero equipped with this gear has the ignition effect, then this effect is increased by 15%" I know Barbie outright has ignition and others, but I haven't been using any heroes that specifically have ignition.

[@manishreddy1154]

Yes , ignition is counted , I have brady Lev 5 and asuka
