Well the Grim Reaper Eddie is cool and has nice abilities, but i think CR Eddie is better
I 2nd this. CR is also the better option if you look at the Skill Shards. You max him out with 13 Skill Shards and the go exactly there where needed:Quote:

Grim Reaper looks cooler though (especially the fury - but the one of FotD Eddy is pretty awesome too - I really love the new graphics ... ) ... :)
CRs ability to remove beneficial effects (ex Trolls) and heal the party still make him the more useful Eddie IMO
Grim Reaper is a skillshard sponge!
Still, visuals are great and fun to have something new.
Yep. I should have been more specific. That AoE hits MUCh softer than the CR AoE.Quote:

+1. YES!! 100% agree. Kicking myself for investing in this toon.Quote:

Also, did you say GR died faster than CR? GR has more HP, a lot more def, and only a little less MR, so that's surprising.
What I did is paired him with Axis Commander (lower MR - enhance damage) AND Warrior Axis bomber. Why is this important? First of all, 25% more to trigger extra turn on Horrow (Past ability), and I managed to achieve up to 10 extra turns (raw estimate, wasn't counting but really a lot). Second, Axis bomber applies marks on targets, and now when that bug with them healing the enemy is fixed, I noticed that they are consumed the number of times that equals the number of hits, meaning Horrow (or Assassin Golden son's hit, just to help you understand) will make more additional damage from Marks then Scythe or CR's Past AoE attack, can't remember the name... So with no Skill shards on Horrow, with four Holy, one Health ward and one Freeze, I think I really get admirable damage and number of turns. Plus, he fills Fury meter in like 4-5 hits. I really am a huge fan of CR (although I don't have one, but troopers helped me a lot), but I think that GR can be as good as him, in some other ways :D My humble opinionQuote:

You see, he ain't rare at all... Everyone can get him if they achieve whatever it was to do, idk, I did that earlier so I just claimed him without looking... So, in fact, he is more common than half of other Eddies :D You do not depend on luck, he waits for you no matter whatQuote:

Not having CR im going to level GR all the way so i can let troopers have him :)
He is still my lovechild in lotb. GR is the first magus char i like the look of, and his skills too.
HAHAHA!! Yep. Once again I stand corrected. No joke, a funny and well thought out point here.Quote:

If autoplay is switched off and I am the one leading - of course I can do a lot of dmg. Axis warrior passive focus + charge from pdk plus Slash of GR and his trigger cuts through Belzeebub like through warm butter :)Quote:

HM. Imho interesting idea. Has anybody used him with set of Penetrating talismans? Are they worth sth ?Quote:

Second of all, how good is he? Should i quit maxing soldier for the guy?
Third of all, im not gonna read through all of the comments people left telling if hes good.
Whatever comes after third of all, thx in advance
I wouldn't think about it Nekro. Cool toon, but lame consistent damage. He CAN possibly do big damage, but it's still not consistently great. He's rather disappointing IMO. Others will disagree, but just not enough there to take over others.
Damn...
Did they really have to make a mediocre eddie out of my fav song... the answer is yes
Sure he is not god-tier, but to be fair he is not mediocre too. He has some good skills and extra turn chances with fairly nice damage. Also he is the coolest looking Eddie right now imo. Right now I am experimenting with him to find strategies. Overall a nice Eddie for veterans players...Quote:

Of course it probably helps that I brought a L100 Alliance General and Wicker Man along. He's better on auto farm than Speed of Light Eddie as well. I can understand why CR Eddie owners are disappointed, but GRE is a free character just like soldier Eddie. Just keep that in mind. I'm just glad to finally have an Eddie with revive capability without having to borrow a Pharoah Eddie.
Agreed on your last point. Finally got to retire my worthless Warewolf; ugh, he's the shits.Quote:

An overall good Eddie, good damage and very cool looking, but Carriage Rider is better, more complete and with a better survivability.
GR's fury is wonderful if you have some fallen ally, but that doesn't happen very often.

I got 4 extra turns in a row using his self heal with chance for extra turn... and i guess hes is better than mediocre eddies (RTTH)
Also, i agree, he looks sick
When i pair him with my 5* red and blue bats, they look like a very evil team coming from hell. Grim reaper with 2 demons.
Grim reaper with 2 soulles demons maybe?Quote:

And Undead Hunters look like a Undead Soldier got hit by a truck. And those killer angels look more demon than anything. Those killers are pretty good looking together with Grim Reaper Eddie :cool:Quote:

working on new talisman strategy for this one. Instead of 6 holy i put 4 holy and 2 yellow boost bullwark on him.
gives more power to special and more HP. gonna mx them all out and see what happens...
Devs gave a sick wallpaper of this Eddie from Facebook. I will share incase you miss... https://m.facebook.com/IronMaidenLeg...pe=3&source=48
That is indeed a rather nice wallpaper.
I've started using Reaper in my auto team, alongside blue allied soldier for a shield and Assassin Mine for heals. Does fine on Game of Death Madness so far, and I haven't even Skill Sharded the Reaper. The revive function in his Fury helps prevent unfortunate occurrences.
Sounds worthwhile. His SPECIAL is pretty high already. Kind of like the blue counterpart to Soldier Eddie's usual Talisman set.Quote:

I have put 2 x Shock + 4 x Holy set on him. Haven't tested manually for Shock, but on auto he hits very hard and survives. I don't like to boost HP (unless fighting against a troll wave), mostly prefer full damage build. Btw, 2 x boost bulwark also sound interesting. Worth to try.Quote:

I did... Seems logical to me... If you get one turn, you get big damage... However, if you get 2-3 turns, you get less damage, but it strikes again... Fair enough :)Quote:
