Grim Reaper Eddie worth the shard investment???

[Sidney]

For a while now I've been hording all my trooper points that I save for skill shards out of fear that I would invest them in an Eddie or toon that would soon end up on the "Nerfing Block". With the total amount of shards that it takes to get GR fully sharded, has anyone done it and would you say it was worth it? This would be an easy decision to make if we could move shards around like the talismans just to see what works best. Sadly since the shards remain pinned (even after the nerf bat has swung) it becomes more of a question of what is worthy of a shard. Seems silly to just hoard something that could make a huge difference in your team, but at the end of the day it's all guesswork and what is the right decision today will turn into a huge disappointment 2 weeks from now. Just curious on anyone's opinion on responsible skill sharding. Thanks for any feedback!!

I would say that it is worth the investment. I am getting beaten up quite badly in PvP by the maxed out GR Eddie teams.

If you want to use a fully maxed out one, with 6 Holy Talismans, add me and see what you think.

[Painkiller]

Oh yes, he is a destroyer. 6 x Holy talismans with Magic status rised (from Pharaoh Dog King or any other) can do huge damage.
But also CR Eddie can also be deadly :)
I love them both, got used to GR and staying with him for now :)

[Sidney]

Thanks for the feedback!! I don't have a PDK or other great magic enhancer other than wicker dog queen. She needs a ton of work since she's been on the bench for ages. I have noticed that people with GR and PDK are difficult to beat. I've been using my CR Eddie and have been really happy with him. I'll take the plunge and see how GR Eddie does without the magic enhancer... It's only a game... right?? :D

[IceManFerrar]

Lol, a game that is going to get me fired, just like you state in your signature!

However, I also think that my wife is going to divorce me...she says that I love Eddie waaay to much, lol!

@90mphyorker, Painkiller, how does your GR Eddie fare in PvP with just Holy Talismans? Don't you need to add some Health/ Green Talismans to make him more resistant?

[90mphyorker]

Possibly. He can be a glass cannon if you don't go first, but if you do, he can prettt mucj wipe out entire teams.

For me GR is Better in PVP than CR because he can revive with his special and better damage with full skill shard

LOL... I had to start playing with the volume turned off when my wife is around. She started imitating Eddie's scream at the end of the round. I'll admit I found it funny the first 200 or so times she did it... :D

As for GR Eddie in PvP, he's doing fairly well, but I really do think that I'm going to replace two of the Holy Talismans with some health and see how it goes. I'm still about 4 or 5 Skill shards short of maxing him out completely. PvP really makes me want a Prisoner... but I know if I ever get one, he'll be nerfed about 24 hours later. :D

Lol, too funny!

I am going to work in maxing out my Mummy Eddie first, and then switch to my GR Eddie. I am getting killed by some of the maxed-out Mummy Eddie teams.

As far as sharding GR goes, he takes a LOT of em, you can probably fully shard a whole defense & attack team (except Eddie) for that cost..
Just an opinion thought.. He is a beast!

A maxed out PvP mummy, I have one & nothing impressive, he was my last defense guy without shards and mainly the only reason I built him, it didn't change much damage wise & as far as % increase goes unless you manually use every skill or mummy get taunted... It won't change much either, his power is in his skill & tallismants build not in his shards..

[IceManFerrar]

Thanks mate, so do you use your Mummy Eddie for your defense? I have mine with 5 Health Talismans (all 5*: 3 Level 41 Blind Ward, 2 Level 50 Stone Mystical), and one Level 50 Ivory Power for Magic damage. Haven't used him in PvP as my Defense Eddie...not sure if he will last...

Yes he's used in defense as in offense but as a "Classic PvP Mummy" with 3 freeze power/ 3 paralysis 2ward 1mystical... 17k HP but with freeze/stun/taunt he's a nice crowd control guy & he cleanse AOE with a chance of titan shield..
As a bonus with paralysis he taunt 2 turn anyone he stun with his AOE move which is nice & open plenty of combo with CG AoF ect.. :)
Fully sharded he obviously does more DMG but adding about 2.5k more AOE damage is kind of marginal for 11 shards.. Still he's super handy & fun to use but as bang for your buck skillshard wise look elsewhere tallismans does most of the job here & taunt keep same % all the way...

Thanks again, Sag, really good advice...truly appreciated!

Here's to NEVER seeing you on PvP...you would absolutely destroy me, lol!
