I have been using this character to complete the current event dungeon with a fair amount of success, so I wonder what might be causing this perception to occur. While there are many options to counter Burns and Time Bombs in Arena, I've found that Guy Fawkes Eddie's reliable multi-target damage and effects can help tear through PVE content...so long as you bring some form of reliable Immunity removal if you need it.

I've been experimenting with Awakened Assassin Lord of Light and Wrathchild for such a purpose. It's also pretty neat that your damage is not punished for building defensive and utility stats, but that's my two cents. I feel like his power abilities are a little expensive though. Perhaps I'll try finding a spot for Future Talismans on my teams to see if there's a payoff.

In the following comparative image, we have Guy Fawkes Eddie and Mummy Eddie (both maxed out) use a single hit AOE ability in the Warrior Lord of Light dungeon, Floor X. While Guy Fawkes Eddie deals physical damage instead of Mummy Eddie's magic damage, there's still quite a difference. The portions marked with #1 are the characters without any talismans. The portions marked with #2 are the characters equipped with talismans that specifically scale to their abilities.

Guy Fawkes Eddie's attack scales with DEF and SPECIAL so in my test I had 5 Onslaught Gunner Talismans.
Mummy Eddie's attack scales with HP so in my test I had 5 Mystical Sentinel Talismans.

Still, if you have any uncertainties or if you have discovered any new issues I might not be aware of - please share them! It's always appreciated.
Fine, he's not the lowest damage.

It's still not anywhere near worth buying with such low output and I still think his benefits still don't outweigh that low output. They are easily removed by many of other toons. Pairing with strong characters such as wrathchild and Assassin LoL doesn't make him any less weak, if those two toons don't get to take their turn you're out of luck.

I'll most likely wait until he get's his free release.
