Solvarch Deep Dive is out

Do not rely solely on specials to deal damage and abuse his basic and energize like theres no tomorrow for burst damage

Comments

Solvarch looks absolutely amazing. He can easily ensure the opponent never throws a sp3 in longer fights. Can throw back to back specials. Great against mutants. Fun for those who can afford to get him. We peasants have to wait until he hit basics
I just hope hes not good in BGs so we dont miss much
Not saying he's op or anything but I do think you will miss out to some extent, he already looks very good for Zola Spider Woman and Jean who have been the biggest pains in the ass this year so far and as a plus he can also handle Bullseye and Onslaught so that's already really good value for BGs. If he's 45-60ish secs fast in BGs then he will be very good for BGs even more than Lumatrix, and Lumatrix is already a solid dual threat.
He does seem like a rough defender if not fought right too
Yeah I think he might become the first meta relevant eidol because the fact that he can already handle those five is enough to make it worth having him in your deck. Then there's also the stalling potential on defense, he looks very good and definitely better than Lumatrix.
Ngl we're doomed if this is the case, cause it enables them to continue making champions p2w, which is a new precedent. (Emphasis on champions as other ingame items are fine to be paywal gated)

But Like the plat track at least gives units and other benefits, and champs like tigra or nick can at least been obtained with units. The $ you spend for these eidols doesnt give you anything else of value. And if theyre going to be meta then it eliminates the incentive of grinding to get champs, like how we had to for thanos.

I mean, yes and no, the way I see is it's a small price to pay so I don't mind you don't have to spend that much to get Solvarch. Now, when they sell Torch for $600 yes that's a completely different story.

Solvarch clearly resembles an updated version of nimrod. Energize power drain Armor regen robot and importantly two modes like nimrod. At first look he even looks better than bastion for me. Let's see how he ends up.
But doesn't take out Havok from what looks like

He should be able to heal energy damage right? Also coldsnap is manageable you can do light ending combos to avoid inflicting them.

the last tech we had with permanent armor up buffs was Iron heart, after that many tech couldn't take Havok and my mind went straight to it again, but he has good power drain and his bursts are physical soo theres that too

As long the S2 is physical i think you are right,he can take It

@ItsClobberinTime What makes Solvarch good for countering Bullseye apart from being bleed immune? Am I missing something? Can coldsnap stop bullseye’s evade?

I know mike wants feedback,

Idk how to tag him but that's the feedback
@WednesdayLength I see all -

Appreciate the feedback!

I think there's a perfect balance between this and the old version, the different rotations were helpful but could maybe be a little more condensed and the main thing is just the kit being explained in different chunks out of order throughout the video. The old format having each bit of kit explained in order from passives to special attacks to sig made it really easy to go back and check things i didn't understand, whereas I had to watch the solvarch one three times through front start to finish just to pick up on a specific piece that I missed. The defense section was really good though!

They say the deep dives take too much money to make. Some dude with an hour of capcut experience could make the same video for free.

You do realise that they have to pay Mike and the other guys right?

His damage seems so mid

His damage seems so mid

17 Mediums and some 11K lights,the burst is huge but the S2 is 129K damage

it is low compared to others but you also have to consider the 150% combat power rate increase when fully ramped, do not focus on the S2 solely but all his attacks to max damage

We only really see 1 sp2 in the video, he's gonna be firing them off one after the other
