Why is Valeriya essential for GD2 | Hero Spotlight [Watcher Of Realms]

[@aldmerian]

The upcoming hero Xena looks poised to fill that role as well

[@BananaLuckWOR]

She looks great for it but she's going to buff the boss unlike Valeriya isn't she?

[@aldmerian]

@@BananaLuckWOR true. The burn will heal the boss

[@renarddubois940]

I wonder if I can replace Arrogance with her.. I'm using the estrid strat (I have hatssut but the estrid strat feels right) so the only moving around I do is up top switching between arrogance and Zilitu

[@BananaLuckWOR]

@@renarddubois940 correct me if I’m wrong but you do need carnelian for that Strat right? Estrid is probably more reliable due to her manual ultimate

[@renarddubois940]

@@BananaLuckWOR no, basically on the bottom you go horse lady and Volka (you never need to remove) on the left, you go estrid behind Isolde (you never need to remove) and for magic damage if you use Glacius (deployed on the leftmost top tile facing left) you also never need to remove (he won't heal the magic clone because he won't have the range if he's not ulting) and estrid will not heal the physical clone so much that Glacius can't kill it.. With that strat you don't need to use Hatssut because Estrid can kill the magic clone, the 2 archers and the 8 guys coming from the hatssut spot without any of them reaching the crystal.. so it all comes down to 1 magic fighter (currently zilitu is the best but soon xena will replace her) and 1 physical fighter to kill the clones going for the top crystal.. Arrogance and Ares do really well in that spot and now i'm wondering if Valerya could do a good job if we could make her passive kill her to avoid stacking Volka's dmg.. that way the only unit that would buff Volka would be Zilitu/xena
