Comments
Its a copy-paste from the spotlight of a 4* and I forgot to change the value of the second part of the signature ability; for a 5* lvl65 it should be (stay) 9%.
I guess there is already a "buff", tune-up in the works but still have to get this out since I love Heimdall.
So, keeping with the Cosmic-Theme the Buff-heavy part and Armor Break Debuffs should of course stay as part of his main Kit. But since he is lacking damage, he needs/should get the following changes;
- The Fury Buff should be double the value it is now
- The Precision buff from his signature should be triple the value, at max sig and activate on every Special Attack
***Amateur notes: With his Basic Stats being as low as they are this just needs to happen.
***Amateur notes: Raising the limit of Indefinite Buffs would make Heimdall slower, keeping it 5 and increasing the value of the Buffs would be the better way to go. He already feels slow and heavy with the limit of 5 Indefintite Buffs, especially if you want to take advantage of the Apptitude Buffs. The necessity of having to use 10 Heavy Attacks in high end content to just get up to where other Champions are from the get go also isnt appealing.
***Amateur notes: He also needs a little extra boost in speed while gaining his Fury and Armor Buffs. Hopefully gaining extra charges from well-timed blocks and intercepting is enough. Right now you can have 1 definite Fury Buff, 2-3 against Winter Soldier but in Act7 and against EOP-Overseer not so much. Maybe there is the possibility of 2 definite Fury Buffs with the extra charges from intercepting.
- Extra Damage (per Buff, can be of the same kind) and ability to refresh Armor Break Debuffs on critical hits
***Amateur notes: The extra Damage is Buff and Debuff dependant and in line with the Cosmic Class. It would give Heimdall the opportunity to dish out extra Damage in advantageous Match-Ups.
Debuff Immunity, Armor Break Immunity and simply taking away his Buffs could all counter Heimdall.
Heimdall, needs to be Heimdall. The All seeing Guardian of the Bifrost.
- True Strike Buff should become "True Sight", its own passive Buff once awakened and additionaly ignore Miss.
***Amateur notes: Nothing is out of Heimdalls sight.
***Amateur notes: These changes would not increase the difficulty of Heimdall as a Defender by much.
- Double the chance to Autoblock
- Special1 Powergain guaranteed (per armor up) and not dependant on Fury-Armor ratio
Sorry for the long read.
