Thank god they didn’t nerf his prestige

DrZola

Wonder if the team could supply us with a marked version so we can see what actually changed from the old Rags. Hope he’s better, but I’m having a tough time…

I am confused too ..i really never bothered to look at his OG abilities but i am curious to know if they changed him like Gamora .

Cr7ms7rs7

Has anything changed? I can't differentiate atm

Scarcity27

They've changed duration of armor breaks, duration of power gain, shock debuff is now shrugged faster, increased ability accuracy on sp1, increased the sp3 damage cap if opponent has armor break, and changed the sig ability.

I think that's all but I could have missed something.

ThatOneMasterGamer

Wow, almost all they did was put his sig Ability into his main kit. Yet again a case of classic Kabam.

Viper18

Why do i have a feeling that they didn't change much?

Viper18

And looks like he'll need to be awakened to have better damage potential

The thing I've noticed is that he gains additional attack rating , which earlier he gets only via his synergies . It's about 100% attack rating increase when his boon of gods passive is active. Additionally he now applies shocks with every hit and with the sig ability he can reduce opponent's ability accuracy (-100% AAR reduction with 5 shocks at max sig). But this will only happen once he reaches sp3.

DrZola

Stun chance on So1 now 75%, not 45%.

I’m curious whether the “struck by a special attack” language that used to read “knocked down by a special attack” means he loses Boon if he blocks a special attack.

Now he can gain power when struck by specials while he has his power gain active, so you need to be more careful when fighting him ^_^

EDIT: just read that they also changed how to deactivate the power gain, and it seems to actually be easier ^_^

ExHavok

I don't think his fate will change. Such a missed opportunity.

They changed SP2 to pause Armor Break when Boon of Gods active. Here is the situation, let's say you launched SP3 at 39th combo. Even if u launch L2 right after u get there u will have hardly 1-2 seconds.
What can make him better ? There are 2 solutions for this actually.
1 -) If that armor break paused when "Thunder's God Wrath" is active , that would help him so much more. That won't be OP or something. Even if u armor break the opponent you still have to stun them, which u have only %16 chance each time u shock the opponent, not %16 chance against shocked opponents. You maybe have 2-3 SP1 chance in that time.
2 -) Leave SP2 as it will be but add something in his Boon of God phase. Something like " If Boon of God is active armor breaks are paused. It has only 6 seconds, that won't make him OP or something.

Or maybe his buff is good as it is right now and I'm missing something, I don't know. What do you guys think ?

They also add +atk rating when he has boon of the gods, and increase -AAR, armor break will pause during boon of the gods, and Thunder God’s Wrath lasts 30s at all case.

Where utility?

Ability accuracy reduction per shock. 5 shocks -100%.

Where utility?

-AAR, shock reduction and it's effects not debuffs anymore, also armor break is niche in some match up

YsF

1. Part of sig ability moved to base with + 5% chance for armor break on shock and +200 on armor break
2. Shock debuff duration now -90% from -40%
3. Inflicting stun while attacking with armor break will now deal +250% damage as burst
4. SP1 stun chance boosted to 75% and 100% from 45% and 55%.
5. SP2 armor break is now paused during boon of gods
6. SP3 damage cap increased to max 30% if armor broken. God's wrath duration decreased by 3 sec. God's wrath can be accessed without awakened now.
7. Shocks deal +435 damage.
8. Thunder Gods wrath now provides around 100% attack (with max sig)
9. AAR for each shock boosted to 20% from 15%.

While all these seem to be a lot of changes, he'll still be a complete noodle before 40 hits and sp3. So many changes but none addressed to the main flaw of the character.

His buff might actually turn out be solid. He still hits decent when he is sig 200. but now u won't need sig200 and also with the extra potency of all the debuffs might actually be a pretty significant change for him. rotation might be sp3 after that just spam sp1s

Hey guys! Welcome to a world of Quality buffs🤯

Rng aar after building up to sp3 is meh. Armor break is nice but you have to build up to a sp2 or a sp3 and activate boon of the gods first which is again meh. Shock duration reduction is nice, I'll give him that (but potency decrease would have been better imo since you could heal of WP).

This is all he has? Is there anything I missed? Damage seems like it'll be good but I'm seriously underwhelmed by the utility side of him.

GroundedWisdom

Again, the larger rework was likely Guillotine. This seems like a smaller values change.

Really? This wasn’t the overhaul? Did you also know the floor is made of floor and that every 60 seconds a minute passes?

Yet here we are month after month with people expecting more.

RiderofHell

Does this mean thor rags doesn't need dupe or he does but not 200 sig needed lol

The_Sentry06

Just found out that he has a synergy with Silver Centurion allowing for shocks of heavy. If that's not changed, that could be pretty good for him.

SpideyFunko

they haven’t changed the silver centurion synergy so that’s good
