Frontier characters...which one?

[emahncke]

Hello comrades. The question I need an answer to is the following: currently I have 3500 Frontier Coins; I've always wanted to have The Beast in my team, but with the recent addition of The Ferryman I'm having second thoughts about it. So..... Who should I go for? The Beast, The Ferryman....maybe another character???

I'm hearing you...

What is the purpose of the toon? PVE, arena, gauntlet.

[Amarthir]

The Ferryman is a total monster. Beast is okay but more of a collection piece.

Do you have Alex and Sehkmet? I would say Alex is more versatile than Ferryman, and sehkmet has her uses. Set and the green bird guy both have their uses as well, so it really depends.

I'd say for gauntlet Ferryman is probably better because you will often come up against a comp that simply can't kill him (with Hex tals). PVP Set is probably better since a lot of people are running him with labyrinth tals. General PVE Alex is the clear winner as he can basically solo anything on madness outside of the new world.

Gauntlet definetively...I already have Alexander and Horus. Don't think that Set or Osiris are better than Ferryman for that purpose, but anyway I'd like to hear some opinions

Ferryman would be a good choice for gauntlet. Aside from teams with a character who disables his passive, he's really good. There's only a few characters I break out the Beast for. The other thing to maybe consider is which classes you have stronger characters from for the class specific levels like AAA. Do you have Killer Prime? He is absolutely insane. I'm actually thinking about getting a 2nd one.

[emahncke]

Don't have Killer Prime yet....I'll try to get him now since he is in warrior souls. My stronger toons are Magus class (3 alchemists, 2 madams, 4 clairvoyants, 1 ancient mariner and some others). I almost always reach AAA level in gauntlet, so I was thinking about improve my other classes.

[Yup]

[QUOTE=emahncke;97809]Don't have Killer Prime yet..../QUOTE]

Killer Prime is NOT in warrior souls. Killer Prime is a Sentinel character, not a warrior character.... Killer Beast is in warriors souls. Not certain which you meant... Killer Prime is generally a better character than Killer Beast. Both are good though.

I'm sorry you're right. I got confused with the names. But I thought Killer Beast was far better than Killer Prime, though...only by the fact that he is the evolved version. Now I'm really lost.... Ferryman, Killer Prime, The Beast.......:eek:

I'm sure you'll eventually get Killer Beast (warrior) through souls, but Killer Prime (sentinel) is only through frontier coins. Killer Prime is one of my favorite characters in the game. Useful everywhere and since you seem to have some really good magus characters already (which Ferryman is), maybe a monster sentinel like KP would be a good addition. Good luck with your decision!

[Yup]

Killer Prime is better than Killer Beast. The passive on Killer Prime is much more helpful than the Fury on Killer Beast. 95% or better of the top PvP teams are using Killer Prime. No one at the top of PVP is using Killer Beast.

[HuckFinn150]

I'm my opinion as of now Killer Beast us a bench warmer. Prime is a monster as well as Ferryman. Just keep in mind that any passive disable can get Ferryman killed in one shot, but if none get him his hits and doom can be devastating.

[emahncke]

Thank you guys for your opinions...now I've made up my mind....Killer Prime it is ��

[Beddie]

Get Killer Prime because The Ferryman ,as great as he is, goes down like a bitch after you disable his passive (cough cough RTTH Eddie)

[Killer-Frost]

Glad you went with Killer Prime. He's a monster

[Muzzleloader]

One thing you need to remember when spending all of your IC is that events now may contain an IC spending mission. If they rotate between runes, spending coins and leveling toons you may want to consider waiting until that event comes around again. It may be difficult in waiting a month or two for a new toon, but the rewards may be worth waiting.

It is also worth it to not max all your toons/talisman until the event. It's easy to leave your talisman at level 39 or 49. The game has changed to manage your resources in different ways than before. Does anyone remember the IC and FC requirements for event missions?

[Tiñez]

Do not get The Beast! I made the mistake of getting The Beast the day Killer Prime and Ferryman debuted for purchase with frontier coins. I should of gotten one of the new debuted toons. The beast gets his butt whipped constantly by Ferryman. Get Ferryman! Real talk.

Now on that note who's better Charlotte or Ancient Mariner

[Volrath]

Charlotte. I have her fully sharded and with max talismans and she hits super hard. Her power skill also does a ton of damage and gives invincibility. There are a lot of Red talismans that are very effective on her (Redemption, Dominance, Valor, etc. I imagine the Viper ones would be deadly too).

Ancient Mariner is decent but not as good as I'd expect from a featured Gauntlet character. I have him built like a tank and he does okay in that role.

Soooo true. Charlotte is definetively a better char... her power move also revives dead characters from the team. I have her fully sharded and with viper talis (I used to have her with valor).....every time I get counter and she hits hard
