TALISMAN SLOTS

As far as I'm concerned, that passive is going to be unstoppable if people in the arena manage to get their hands on this Eddie. Stopping ALL damage for two turns is all it takes to unleash a torrent of pain.

You'll see the arena and Gauntlet die quick, if no one thinks they have a chance against him.

[Ydex]

Disable Passive/Perfect Disable is one of the must-have abilities. Already, I thought.

Singularity nullifies that.

[Ydex]

Singularity nullifies that.

So it does, had to go look at my Singularity set. It's hard to keep up with all the game mechanic-breaking Talismans.

So, Van Helsing on a team with Singularities-- you've got the 1st round to disable, take out their hardest hitter, and quickly put up a defense.

...

There's a lot of defensive Talismans that only affect the first two rounds, I guess this is the offensive counterpoint to that.

[GrimDusk]

No, you can't even disable on the first round. The talismans give immunity, which prevent it from being inflicted then as well.

[Ydex]

Remove immunity from Van Helsing, disable his passive (from all allies), THEN take out... someone... hopefully, then curl up in fetal position for the next round.

[edsel]

He is a very strong Eddie, still playing around with talismans and support team but Singularity is a must.

[URock]

All I can read are assumptions, because nobody knows exactly how all these Passives, Disabling Passives, Buffs and Debuffs are working together or what is "counting" first. It's a total shame that we're getting absolut zero information about these things from the Dev-Team. Everything is analysed by us, the players, and nothing from the guys who get paid for it.
I see many new players who are leaving the game after short fights because the lack of information.

[Olevipoeg]

It is possible to take him down before 2nd round. Crave and Mark can do some damage.

Ooh, yeah I noticed that in the dungeon actually!

[URock]

So is he the game changer in PvP or do we see the same setup of toons the next months?

[Yup]

I don't think so. But, we'll see I guess.

I think he's similar to Ferryman.. a glass cannon.. disable the passive (or wait 2 turns) and he's a 1 shot kill.

you'd better manage to disable his passive, otherwise you won't survive 2 turns while his team doesn't take damage lol

[Freddy]

I'm kind of confused as to what Talismans I should throw on him. Anyone have any suggestions?
For that matter, I'm not sure what works best with any of the new toons, (Drac, each Werewolf)

[URock]

My team (sometimes only one toon) with Van Helsing got damage in these first two rounds, but I wasn't able to figure out what was the reason...too much bugs in PvP and I'm unable to analyze what buff is causing what debuff and so on.
Arena is just RNG and not maths.

Labyrinth and/or Eclipse. Van Helsing needs to survive after the two rounds of "Godmode" :D

Labrynths, the bane of my frigging existence in PVP. That percentage must skyrocket on defense, since I hit a Raven Witch equipped with them 45 times before she actually took a solid hit. Alas, I'm too new to have those talis :(

[URock]

"Prevent all allies from taking damage for the first two round of battle"

Why is it possible, that damage is breaking through this passive? The info text says nothing about this. How does this work? Can somebody explain why there is no 100% prevention of taking damage in these two first rounds?

Simply because Naughty Fraud knows exactly what they are doing

[seneuk]

Hello
What are the best talismans to use with VHE?
Thanks

[Ip4]

I use cosmic + labirinth

[URock]

It's because of the different damage types. "Reflected Damage" "Damage through buffs" "Damage from marked attacks" etc. is not "Damage".
Next to come is: "Monday Damage", "Tuesday Damage" ...

[Mario.Ahner]

I would say it is a bug as always (almost all new toons are not working like they should:

"Prevent all allies from taking damage for the first two round of battle"

http://www.news.maiden-lotb.com/n3/talisman-en/steel-warrior/
"Gain invincibility for 2 turns at the start of battle. Invincibility prevents you from taking damage."



And of cause not one of those new toons get fixed, they simply are going to release new bugged toons.

do u remember what characters u fought against that dmg ur VhE? cause when facing him in gauntlet i can never do dmg against him i just load my team with dmg reduction abilities to survive till 3rd round; also im assuming its something with it being us with these characters that certain things dont work like how few things work on bosses: i have the beast awakened to tier 1 and in LoL XI+ his basic attack never removes gold beneficial effects from non boss enemies yet when i face him in pvp/gauntlet he's always able to remove my gold effects. also if u hace the ability to record a video of ur screen when playing thats a great way of looking back on things like this


Razgriz-1173

[Yup]

If Van Helsing's passive is disabled.. he and the team take damage.. first 2 turns or not. The "bug" is that passive disable buffs don't alway show.

Then there are toons like Dark Lilith.. which will disable his passive and THEN do damage... she does the same thing where invincibility is concerned.. removes the buff THEN does damage.

[Demon33]

Noob just starting out. Collecting ironite to buy characters any suggestions? Have about 2000 ironite right now.

[MetalKing]

Frontier coins are on sale now for ironite. If you already have some frontier coins saved, several good characters are on sale (gambler. Alexander). Van helsing is available as a potential character in the holiday souls if you have the cash to buy the packs, or can grind a few dungeons.
