Hallowed Eddie seems really underpowered

[Witkacy]

I am leveling up Echo talismans... but they aren't ready yet. And to me, Class Advantage is most beneficial when a toon has multiple turns, like when echo is in place. So yeah, not stating my talisman usage is optimum, but it's better than Strength talismans.



says the player adding +600 to the DEF Stat

Well... Pure coincidence LOL All my echo talis are Fierce (ATK/DEF) and so Advantage (Overwhelming - as well ATK/DEF)... I had those maxed out at hand so I put them... First thing was to build his ATK, then DEF happen like it is...

P.S. To be on topic - yes he's NOT the best Eddie Gunner I used - and it happened I've tested and own all of them beside AHE... Mainly because his fury is pointed not at the crowd but at single target...

I used a troopers hallowed and he did around 30k with fury. I think i used nomad too, and i do not recall what enemy i used it on.

But maxed strength is the way to go for max damage on him.

Sure, he can do a LOT more damage when being buffed by for example Wicker Man, Nomad, Alliance General... Yet while he's on his own strenghts - it's NOT that impressive regarding how HARD it was to get him and being sort of above premium character (G/A)...

Yeah i get that. I believe the other gunner eddies are more useful, but he might be a fun toon nonetheless.

[Yup]

I'm just underwhelmed by the Fury.

Just looking at Fury benefits other than actual hitting power......

Pharaoh: grants invisibility to allies
FOTD: Heals allies
Viking: Freeze all enemies
Visions: stun all enemies
Eddie: healblock all enemies
Carriage Rider: Remove enemy buffs, raise ally stats, lower enemy stats
Reaper: revive, cast doom
Aces High: Guard Shield, crit
Tailgunner: Extra Turn to allies on kill
Storm: Blinding Burn on all enemies
Shaman: Ignite, Smite or Marks on all enemies
Samurai: Increase enemy dmg taken, Gain Armor penetration
Wicker: Cast Flare on all enemies
Soldier: Increase ally stats
Vampire Hunter: Revive, 100% Crit strike
Navigator: Blinds enemies, class advtg on allies
Eternal: Stun enemies, seal flare or doom on enemies
Cyborg: Steal power and fury

Then there's this small group with fairly self-contained, unimpressive fury abilities which really rely on other status effects being present on the target...
Mystic: Trigger Doom if it's present
RTOH: Gain Heal shield on self
SOL: Extends debuffs on enemies
Rainmaker: Consume Marks if they are present
Mummy: Addtl dmg to stunned targets if they are already stunned
Hallowed: If debuffs are present on target then maybe gain Perfect immunity, ascension, or echo for self


So I guess Hallowed Eddie was designed to fit into the second group?

Seems a shame... s'all I'm saying.

Would have been nice if fury included something like the Gunner Mayan Priestesses Soul Extraction ability.

I played him once from a trooper. Only way I can see him being broken is if he has invincibility and perfect immunity and he spams his future basic, basically keeps him unkillable.

Edit: Turns out that Perfect Immunity and Ascension can't be extended like I thought they could, so my theory is null.

[Tridimensionale]

I fully sharded mine only couse Hallowed Be Thy Name is a masterpiece

The damage output(Echo+Shell) is ok for me.. he lack some removal skill & at least 1 AOE attack in my opinion ..
But yeah as it is now is pretty useless in pvp.. for fun only

[Mizrael]

Your'e right 20% of DEF .. but ATK x DEF is better than ATK+%
.

You need to read the effects of the guardian set again. it adds 20% of DEF to ATK, not 2x (dunno where you get that 2X from)...
So it’s true that in case of HE-15% of his ATK is more than 20% of his DEF.

I didn’t get him,so i can’t comment on his strength and usability...but i’m not a fan of his simply because i find him a bit overweight

[gullwingproductions]

At the moment...Hallowed ED
Talismans: 2 Hunter (safeguard)
2 Resilience (Barrier)
2 True (overwhelming)

any thoughts?

[Zugzwang]

So is it just me or is Hallowed Eddie's fury really, really weak?

To be honest I have never once used him and he is fully sharded and has maxed valor equipped. For the recent buffs he received he can now get about 4 turns in a row and he can use the fury in a seemingly endless loop when paired with the (also recently buffed) Alchemist. When that happens there is no coming back in the battle. Ever. I’d say they’ve made both of those characters 5 star worthy to be sure.
