Humm, maybe that will be the most powerfull of Sentinel Eddies... :rolleyes:
Great skills!

[slauki]

wow interesting skills, definetly some interesting new tactical opportunity arises...nice

[Ancient Mariner]

that's nice! :)

Jeezus Nice :3

I'm starting to save Sentinel Souls...

[Kardas]

The first physically based Sentinel Eddie. Very interesting. Will probably be a lot of fun in combination with the Alliance General

Some of the move names reminds me of an interview of Melvyn Grant (the artist behind FotD Eddie). Seems he had an interesting dream while he was painting the cover.

This is fantastic!!

[Reeb99]

That skill set looks incredible! Looks like the perfect dungeon master Eddie for my physical damage team.

[MuadDib-7367]

Looks like 4 iron and 2 Stone talisman for an attack build. Same as wickerman.

Yeah, assuming I can snag one of these guys I can just lend my Wickerman's talismans to him for a test drive. :)

[Frost]

Time to level up some Iron Talismans...

[Reeb99]

I wonder if stone set was fixed or not. If it hasn't, there's no point in using them. I don't use them on my Wicker Man, because I'd rather have the health bonus than a broken +1 defence boost.

[Fudjo]

Fear of the Dark is 4 stars out of the box. Here are his stats at 5-star, Level 100:

HP: 10938
ATK: 393
DEF: 931
MAGIC: 230
M. RESIST: 230
SPECIAL: 337

It is not.

I just set my champion to Fear of the Dark so my Troopers can give him a test drive.

Still looking for this guy

I got 2 ... I'd swap one for a sentinel pumpkin ...:p

I'm serious ...

A swapping bazar would be awesome ...

Or a feature that you can swap a higher star to any lower star of the same colour. in this case I could trade my second 4* FotD Eddie for a 3* sentinel pumpkin ...

[Ancient Mariner]

What you guys think is the best talisman set for him?

Most of his abilities increase with DEF, but i'm wondering if they scale with the mere character's DEF parameter, or with the max DEF points (included the talismans contribution), because depending on this i'll decide whether giving him only red fierce talismans to significantly increase the defense, or putting also some safeguard ones in case talismans DEF points won't increase the effectiveness of his attacks (and in that case i'd prefer to boost also his magic resistence)

[osiris0000]

He makes the Magus Dungeon level 10 like a cakewalk even on autofarm. Most of the time LOL can't use his annoying ghost. And sometimes FOTD Eddie even kills him in the middle of the ghost ability. Perfect Magus killer!

[Luxsuperior]

I have one, but until i get it to full lvl 100 i don't see the point to use it.

it has nice skills, but i'm not comfortable with the runes set i have on it, 2 burning talismans and 4 health runes, stripped from my other eddies, but until i level more talismans to 5* i can't see a true potential in this eddie to burst magus or other chars, except for a huge amount of hp and the debuffing skills.
Being better than grim reaper eddie is very hard...

[Browno]

This is a debuffer and healer when fury is active. Not a burst character. It is worth to have him in every team for debuffing i believe.

[Esquatcho]

Anyone try him with a set of rush (will) talismans on him?

Im thinking with those, on that def score, he'd be unleashing a fury every round pretty much! And that not only means huge AoE damage, but every player healed almost fully every single round....

[Ancient Mariner]

I've read somewhere people saying to be thinking about putting yellow talismans to icrease the fury's damage, but if i'm not mistaken it only makes you gain more fury points for each turn, right?

[osiris0000]

Good point. I guess it just helps for gaining more fury points for each turn, unless the char's Fury scaled with Special.
Because some of Eddie's furies scales with physical attack or magic. But i am not completely sure since i haven't tested it. It's worth to test.

[Esquatcho]

Yes, only increases fury - Unless the damage of the fury specifically scales with special skill. In which case, the yellows can increase the damage (eg Soldier Eddie).

[Browno]

I tried him with a set of fury and i was not impressed. His damage was nerfed by 1k and the fury went off in about 3 turns.

[Reeb99]

One of my Troopers has him set up with 2 stone overwhelming and 4 iron fierce (all maxed). Was impressive enough to make me wish I had one to replace my soldier Eddie. Worked really well with Alliance General and Wicker Man.

[Fudjo]

I'm definitely liking Purging Shriek and Spread Terror. They're fantastic in the Lord of Light missions.

I've also found that I get good use out of every ability except Temporize, and I've even used that one in a pinch or two.

[osiris0000]

Now i am trying him at Gunner Dungeon Level - 10. Which is toughest one as everyone agrees.

He is amazing even on autoplay against Gunner Lord of Light - Aka Lord of the GODLY BUFFS. It's very fun to see that Lord of Light can't use his steals and annoying 2-turn invincibility most of the time. FOTD have the nastiest debuffs in the game as i have seen so far.

Maybe there is a meaning with the way they build Fear of the "Dark" Eddie, it is best Eddie against Lord of "Light"s in my opinion. "Darkness" wins "Light" here. He is the perfect solution for Dungeons. FOTD may seem little squishy from start, but i am sure he will be your favourite Eddie especially when you play on Dungeons. Just try and see.

Where do you put them? On Fear Of The Dark Eddie? If so, i suggest you to put some Iron & Guardian Fierce + Stone Overwhelming sets to get most of his damage.

Btw, you need 3 set of Energy Talisman to have the effect "chance". Effect of talismans "have a chance to trigger" if you land a "Perfect Attack" with your basic move.
For energy talisman : "%45 chance to trigger on Perfect Attacks".
For burning talisman : "%35 chance to trigger on Perfect Attacks".

If you are a newbie to game, i suggest you to study talisman effects and character skills before spending your valuable resources.

I just hope that I will get him soon.
I've opened around 20 rare souls for Halloween event *(with higher chance for him)* and still nothing! :(

Ok so for once i wanted to directly test if it is more important - in order to get more damage - to increase DEF, which FOTD Eddie's abilities are based on, or the ATT parameter.
To do so, i upgraded to the max 2 Iron talismans and interchanged them with the 2 Guardian talismans i already had in my set.

The result is that i got more damage with 4x Guardian talismans, than with 2x Guardian talismans + 2x Iron talismans.

This means that ATT is more important than DEF in the end.

Wasted some evo runes for this test, but at least now i know what's the better set up: the 20% ATT bonus given by guardian talismans is better than the Iron's 15% to DEF (of course, all of this considering that even if it doesn't appear in the DEF bonuses, it still applies like i've read somewhere)

Nice! But yes, as you said, it could be that the irons are just bugged :(

I have the worst memory, but I though it was only stones that they said wasnt buggest, just the description was?

Still means you are better off with guardians for the time being.

At lvl 100 FotD Eddie has the following:

HP - 10938
ATK - 393
DEF - 931
MAGIC - 230
MR - 230
SPECIAL - 337

Using 3 Guardian (needed for guardian bonus) and 3 Iron build the bonus is as follows:

20% defense (186.20) + 15% defense for 2 iron (139.65) for a total bonus Defensive add of 325.85

Using Iron and Stone build the bonus is as follows:

15% defense (139.65) + 15% defense (139.65) + 1% HP (109.38) for a total bonus Defensive add of 388.68

I would expect the Iron and Stone build to be a bit stronger based upon bonuses.

[Ancient Mariner]

Actually you only need 2 Iron/Guardian talismans to get the bonus, not 3... and the 20% Guardian's bonus goes to ATT (it is only calculated on DEF).

My reasoning was all about getting the max damage though: of course if you set 2 iron talismans you will get more defense, but the damage dealt will be lower, so that means that the ATT parameter affects the damage more than the DEF does, even though the abilities' damage scales with DEF

Ah, I see what what you mean. Attack scaling adds more than Defense scaling. Wish the devs would be more clear on these things.

[Esquatcho]

Well I think thats part of the plan, to get us to do our own testing to see what it scales more with. Personally, i dont mind a little of the 'unknown', it can be fun trying to work things out. But where you have scaling that isnt mentioned (in the damage type, or the description), then thats either a bug, or the description should be improved!

[ShadowedLies]

To clarify with Draining Growth if there are no negative effects then it does not heal at all correct? Or have i been misinterrperating the description?

[FilipMurray]

I've got him yesterday! :D

Cool dude!

[Fudjo]

I tried the following talisman mix (all maxed at 50):

4x Iron (Fierce)
2x Stone (Overwhelming)

But it wasn't doing as much damage as:

4x Guardian (Fierce)
2x Stone (Overwhelming)

Has anyone else had the same experience?

Also, has anyone tried using Burning talismans to combo with the Fury heal?

yeah time ago i noted the difference in damage points and wrote it here, probably just a few pages back.
If you mean to lead more damage, it's better to equip him with guardians rather than iron talismans

[Fudjo]

Ok, thanks! I wanted to make sure I wasn't imagining things. :)

[ShadowedLies]

Ughhh more talismans i have to upgrade! Sounds like my 2x iron 2x strength and 2x health isnt optimal!

Not optimal, but still useful and you'll definitely want those talismans anyway for other characters. :)

My question though is does the stone augment actually work because it didnt seem to increase my stats the way it said it should, or is that increase not reflected on the stat page?

[Arcturus]

Just tested this with Pharaoh Eddie, whose basic attack scales with DEF (& max HP). On Game of Death (Madness), and making sure there were no buffs/debuffs on anyone):

with 2 stone overwhelming (displayed DEF boost = 684; displayed HP boost = 13622)
sentinel soulless demon - 3631 perfect
gunner CotD - 3631 perfect
warrior CotD - 2904 perfect

with 1 stone & 1 health overwhelming (displayed DEF boost = 684; displayed HP boost = 13622)
sentinel soulless demon - 3552 perfect
gunner CotD - 3552 perfect
warrior CotD - 2841 perfect

So it appears that the DEF boost of 1% of HP for Stone is working, but not displayed.

Now, just a little bit off topic, but just to post while I'm doing the test for Pharaoh Eddie, I did the same test with 2 health overwhelming (since that same attack should also scale with HP), but despite the HP boost going up to 15312 & DEF staying constant, there was no change in damage from the 1 Stone/1 Health.

[Stormseye]

Always looking for interesting builds, started looking at this guy after the update. So many great debuffs that can play havoc on the current meta. Maybe with a set of Explosive Talismans and some energy. I just don't think he has a good damage output since it's boosted by DEF. Have seen a couple of people run him at lower levels so may play around with some stuff for next week. Someone to remove immunity as a setup, maybe Assassin Lillith and a blocker plus a damage dealer.
