Hellhound or assassin rocket dog?

[Sag7272]

Again, I can't access PVP currently so I cannot say for sure. According to the Compilation of Max Characters thread though, the Pyro has a lot of HP for a Warrior character (he's got a lot more than the Hellhound though), but only a little less than the Artillery Dog

With current freeze/stun rate going on, a passive immunity worth gold, ex:
On the "B" variant of my attack team I pass from hellhound immunity to corrupt droid's one to be sure to neuter CG, Mummys and soulless deamons so they can't throw a wrench in my strategy... He even run a full energy set for him to survive/be useful just to keep that passive..

I use artillery dog assassin mostly because I don't have a hellhound.

His damage output isn't stellar but his endure and multiple hits in addition to his immunity passive make him quite useful.

I've got a HH with maxed talismans, don't think I'll bother with skill shards, his dmg output is nothing to be admired, the heal is also not very impressive these days. I'd say go with Artillery Dog, it seems a lot more useful to me.

Reviving (repealing?) this doggy thread. Any updates on HH vs AD? I got a HH just now (much to my own surprise) and its damage, heal, and stats aren't what I remember them to be from previous troopers. Nerfed recently?

I use a HH and he works super well when you go first that is for sure - not lost once when I go first with him in the team. But he hits soft...though the upshot is that he ups ATK for some others in the team...his invincibility is the key plus point though - especially if you can extend it off the bat. He can also add Lifesteal to team - you need a power creator to help there (energy talisman). Not got an ARD - just a Warrior RD so cant compare there. I like HH though - he is a good support character for the rest of the team....you just need to forfeit the big hit as he doesn't at all!
