Best AoE Characters

[Arcturus]

So I'm looking for the heaviest-hitting AoE (dealing damage to all enemies) attackers.

I want to round out my team. I've got an Assassin Golden Son, and the Angel of Fear (single attack, but gives an extra turn to the AGS). For LoL I want another high damage AoE toon (prefer true damage, but anyone will do). Preferably they'll hit most of the waves on Game of Death or Matter of Life or Death (Madness) at near 50%

Using my troopers I've found the following to also be very good:
Warrior Troll
Gunner Golden Sun
Gunner Bomber Boy
Warrior Rocket Dog
Hell Hound

The last two don't seem quite as good as the rest, but maybe there are better talisman builds. Currently only have Gunner Bomber Boy & Hellhound in my inventory.

I'm working on an Assassin Axis Bomber Boy to see how he does. Seems like more than a few ppl like to use him to mark enemies that others (particularly Assassin Golden Son) can then destroy, but I'm not sure I want to count on RNG to get marks, unless he hits hard on his own.

Who else hits super hard? Anyone have any favorites?

Easy - just draw a Cyborg Eddie😀

I find the Warrior and Gunner Golden Sons are both very good. Load the Warrior with Fireball Talismans and the Gunner Son with Thief and you're good to go. If you have a gunner, could also place Death
talismans on him and set things up for the Assassin

Warrrior Troll is also great. Very hard hitting and the passive is awesome - wish I had one!

[hold]

A full maximised Hellhound boosts the whole party after almost every hit with 100% more attack. Now imagine a Hellhound before a Red Troll...

Plus the Hellhound is a very good healer as well.

Hellhound grants immunity for the whole party for one turn at the start of a battle and every round to one random ally.

He is a very good support toon - believe me.

Sentinel soulless demon hit for around 5k true damage

[Frost]

Assassin Golden Son

Warrior Golden Son

Sentinel Soulless Demon

WDQ

Corrupt General

Blue Soldier

PSS

etc...

We have a lot of good aoe hitters. Just don't have many distributed around all classes. Sentinel for example is har dto get a good aoe hitter.

Sentinel Bomber Boy :cool:

Sentinel Bomber Boy :cool:

What kind of damage does he do?

The thing I like about the Gunner and Assassin Golden Sons is they can be topped out with skikkshards for a fairly minimal investment.

A bit off topic - but the Gunner does "random damage" - what is that?

Random damage is calculated the same as True Damage, but is applied randomly as Physical, Magic, or True damage. So the target's DEF or M RES may mitigate the damage.

well...
my sightings: (All units i have or in rare cases i used a trooper with this unit, like assassin corrupt rescuer)
Eddies:
Sodlier (yet not best anymore due to nerfed fury and talismans)
Carriage rider
(Storm Eddie - not truly AOE, as random, but nearly as good)
Tailgunner (little bit better than soldier)
FotD and Grim Reaper have AOE basic attacs (future and past), yet tend to single attack on auto play, yet due to good fury i'd tend to both.

troopers:
Axis Bomber boy (assasin and warrior) both do true damage, yet assassins second move is a bit more effective, yet pretty mid-low damage
Warrior Troll
WDQ (best mage after corrupt general)
Corrupt General
all Golden Sons (assasin and gunner are killers, mage is also good, sentinel lacks revive and 3 green slots disturb talisman.equipping)
Undead hunter (really cheap, easy to get gunner with both moves AOE magic and good stats)
All pyro soldiers (still trying to find the asassin one)
Gunner and Mage Child of the Damned (gunner is a killer, mage not so)
Posessed Mine (gunner and assassin) fairly good damage, yet too low life
Rocket Dog (warrior and assassin) warrior hardly used, impressed by the assassin one
Undead Rescuer gunner - she's really sick! assassin seems great, too (not seen/used yet)
Hell Hound - one of the few very good healers
Soulless Demons - warrior is me to plain, sentinel is good, and assassin - from troopers i have - is pretty good
allied bomber boy (gunner and sentinel) - counter part to the axis bomber boy, magic damage and HP-scaling damage instead of true
Desert golem gunner - if you can't get a warrior troll, try to get him - also AOE true damage
The wicker man - also a good warrior


other AOE damage dealers, i rarely use:
Pharaoh Water Spirit. (his revive ability made him special, now, he's as common as most)
Allied soldier - used to be a killer before the character optimization/nerf update, now just common
Undead Rescuer sentinel (one of the few BNW characters, that are actually useable)
both Mage/Sentinel or Warrior Meathead and Pharaoh ## spirits, go AOE, yet only Warrior (PSS) seems interesting, rest is too common.

Yet AOE is not everything. Sometimes a good Passive effect yet single attack is ok for me, too.
My best (irreplaceable) single hitters with passives so good, you will use them.
The nomad - put him with a warrior team and it's overkill, besides he has self heal on (true damage) basic attack.
Desert Marauder - his "perfect hit" passive makes him a must have for auto-players!
The prisoner - his passive is also very attractive, yet it's very rare if you can get him.
Angel of Fear (warrior) - his true damage high attack and "next round for all on kill"-passive make him also a must-set
Warrior or Assassin Child of the Damned - especially the assassin is sick!
Alliance General - his power move seems heavy, yet 7 energy points compared to the fact that there are other characters that grant perfect hits as passive, he's overhyped and underpowered

All pyro soldiers (still trying to find the asassin one)

Assassin Pyro is single target

Good analysis though!

Corrupt General was my first maxed character. Used to love him, and still use him occasionally due to his high chance of Freeze triggering, but his damage seems pretty average since he was nerfed unless he's targeting a Warrior

[Aristo4]

What kind of damage does he do?

Great AOE magic damage :p

[XcarecroW]

Sentinel soulless demon hit for around 5k true damage
You cant go wrong with this, hitting 5k true damage, 38k health, awesome shield and awesome taunt.

[FlyingV]

Very little talk on gunner CotD... quite surprising. One of the best hitters/farmers with amazing support triggered effects.

Corrupt rescuer is a bombproof support toon.

Troll and Axis Bomber Boy are amazing for their support passives (especially if you are bright enough to pair them well).

Sentinel Soulless demon does respectable damage and is designed to be a tank, which works perfectly with its AoE taunt disrupt.

Magus AoEs do not impress me other than Axis general with triggered effects. Masked Harpy is probably the most exciting development since her slots were re-assigned recently.

Bomber boys (other than Warrior, can be played well, but are not very impressive compared to others)

Dogs have not impressed me much (I do not own a Rocket or a Hellhound, either of which may change that opinion)

[Reeb99]

The allied bomber boys hit pretty hard, but the axis bomber boys are pretty disappointing. The pyros seem pretty disappointing as well. The best aoe attacks are power moves, like on the red Angel and The Wicker Man. The red wicker man's power move does impressive damage with a guardian talisman setup, and makes follow up physical attacks do more damage.

All in all, it depends on synergy. A good synergy will make the team better than the sum of its parts.

[Esquatcho]

Yup, add me to the gunner CotD fan list. Using my troopers as a guide, I would put Gunner CotD right up there. Red troll of course and assassin bomber boy (only together with AoF and Assassin GS).

Hell hound should be awesome, but if you are after max damage, then others above are better imo.

sentinel souless demon sounds OK too, but I reckon the above are still better.

[Ringe666-7406]

PSS can do decent amount of damage when maxed out. I'm currently leveling up red rockets and PWS, with rocket being so strong, with good negative effects, and I'm really considering giving them a skill shard. On the other hand, PWS is just meh if you forget about reviving, and not even mediocre healing. I also have red soulless demon 5* 100 with maxed talismans and 3 skill shards (he got them at the very beginning, was my best char at a time, and very useful) but he doesn't hit hard at all... Thought I might level him to 5* just to see if the skill shards did any good to him but nope :/

[Reeb99]

You guys really think the assassin bomber boy is good? I ran it with some 5* assassin talismans on Powerslave at level 80, and thought it was a joke. The gunner bomber boy does WAY more damage. That's how I test for who I want to 5*, if they work well on Powerslave madness at L80, they should be fine for Game of Death madness at level 100. Stats don't tell the entire story.

imo, Assassin Bomber Boy isnt great by himself. But with a big hitting AoE'er (like assassin GS), the regular marks really ramp up the damage and marking happens through the AoE of the BB pretty regularly. At least 1-2 marks on average.

I prefer warrior one... Focus passive goes great with CG, Burning talismans on assassin golden son and GR Eddie's extra turns :3
