I believe the inflection is on the 'e' - BorEas. Boreas is a Greek God of cold north winds. "Borealis" means Northern in Latin, like Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) and boreal forest.
@@alteregotje2491 Would be curious to hear from Greeks. I was watching a video on the deity from an Ancient Greek channel, and they put emphasis on the 'e'.
Nice vid, man. Love the break downs. I was lucky enough to get Boreas, Orim and got my Setram to A3 as well as got my Laseer to A2 and Valk to A4. Even tossed a few at Gwyn and Estrid, but no luck there. Today's pulls cost me my entire stash except for 3k diamonds I insist on hanging on to for other crap. All-in-all, pretty nice day 😁
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought Boreas should be dual faction Northerner. Boreas was the Greek god of the North Wind, Storms & Winter! I pulled both of them today, and Orim just does not seem worthwhile to invest in - particularly skill crystals as I never have enough. I don't know if he's hot garbage but he seems like a real luxury to build and I'm not sure why I'd use him over Olague & Baron. However if you do pull him and do a guide or overview, would be happy to see he has some value. I'm sitting on both him & Azhor, so far I just can't catch a break on Legendary Defenders. His cost is kind of ridiculous, and I just don't see how to reasonably build a Defender who can tank when he is supposed to have ATK % and Crit to also do damage.
I pulled double Boreas in one 10 pull, and the 200 times nothing... But hey he instantly carried me through GR 1-19, which I wasn't even close to doing before.
@@shernardwilson-morrison365 I used him and marri and Ai. build him with a lot of attack and quite a bit of attack speed. My gear wasn't good enough for full crit rate, but that would be good too. And then I just time his ability with dolores and everything pretty much dies, even though it was close, and I failed a few times before getting good timing
OK, I had some time to test out Boreas and he is a beast! At first he's just chilling there looking cool, and then he executes Frozen Purification which pretty much erases all enemies in the field. I can't wait to get proper gear on him. I think Silas is starting to give him the evil eye because it looks like he's slacking compared to Boreas.
I did pull Setram and Orim, but boy did I ride the tax train all the way through mercy on a 2x banner. Had 73 blues and 4K diamonds saved, really hoped I wouldn't have to summon American Express, but alas.
I've been helping a friend get their guild boss team together.she doesn't have zilitu, but to get a 4dps infernal team going I leveled orim and built for speed and he does okay. I'm sure with better gear he can do even better.
Pulled a boreas from a divine and a second from my regular shard pulls was pulling for a dupe setram but I will take it, curious to see what video says about awakenings
Two things: 1.) It seems to me that when they renamed all the artifacts(which is very annoying), they renamed Zelus' Manuscript and now it's no longer Exclusive. I could be wrong about that, but if it is now available to all mages, how do you reckon that would change it's value? 2.) Tanks are in a weird spot currently. I pulled Orim, and I'm kind of excited but not really. Because the Epic tanks are so good, the Legendary tanks all kind of feel like a sidegrade, whereas the Legendary damage dealers have some legitimate, cannot-be-replaced bangers. To put it another way, sure Orim is going to do more damage than Olague, but wouldn't you rather have another Awakening on a damage dealer instead?
Still don't have Setrum, but I pulled 2 Boreas and I think he's going to help me finally finish 1-19 to start getting that better left side gear. Also pulled Orim at the least I think he's going to help with faction trial.
I just pulled Boreas - I was excited to hear that he's a really good aoe mage since the only good one I have is Eona. I guess if I didn't pull Khamet this guy is the next best thing. And I pulled Raiden the other day too. Was thinking he wouldn't be too useful since I don't have many esotericists but his value just skyrocketed. Question though - I've been struggling hard with GR3-18 because I'm lacking a piercer lord, good legendary piercers or Khamet. Do you think this guy might help me be able to get through it? I've taken down the boss itself on a good run, but then I get overrun and killed by that last wave.
@@fastidious_gg I was using Arrogance, Idril, Brienne, Maul, Calypso, Eona (Hollow and Vortex for heals) and I couldn't ever get it no matter how I placed them. I changed it up and put Brienne, Idril and Arrogance in the front, took out Calypso for Boreas and put him on the left side with Eona also on the left backing him up and Maul handling the right and it worked. He's not ideal, but he'll work if you're lacking piercers/piercer lords or Khamet. Then this morning I blew 7 ancients and got lucky and pulled Aracha (my first leggo lord). Tried it again with the original team and it was easy. So a piercer lord definitely makes all the difference. And for the record, I pulled my first friggin Shamir from the card I got for finally finishing that stage (after a few weeks of trying at this point). If I hadn't pulled Aracha this morning I was going to rage-quit for a while to lick my wounds.
Defenders are all underpowered in this game. The only good one that has been released post global is brokkir. Orim Crit passive should just be permanent, then he might actually be good.
Orim is hot garbage. You havnt tested him and are just theorycrafting. I have build him and in practice there are a bunch of problems with his kit. He classified as a tank. His only dmg mitigation comes from his 1200 rage ult that gives him Pdmg reduction. The rest of his kit is based on doing dmg. He is a dmg oriented tank. He however has no crowd control like stuns, or slows. He has the second highest attack of all defenders but the rest of his stats are average. If I compare him to other Dmg oriented tanks that I have, those would be Torodor and Captain Reve (hvnt build Azhor yet so I cant speak much about him), he doesnt have the dmg or the CC/defensive abilities to help him stay alive and provide utility to your team. Torodor has his stun and self revive and Reve has HP regen, slows and stuns (that also helps his faction). This means he has trouble staying alive on harder content like NM void rift. If you want him to tank you have to invest in HP% gear. His dmg is bad then. If you want him to do dmg, you have put Atack% on him, but then he dies really fast against stronger foes that you want your defenders to tank. Even then his dmg isnt great because the multipliers arnt that high. For pure tanking almost all other leggo tanks can do a better job and ofcourse the epics Baron and Olague will do a better job. In the comments I see you mention his useage in GB but that is just silly talk. For the infernal faction, you have A1 Twinfiend (or A5 pyros) and dolores. The dmg dealers in that team are Zilithu, Nocturne, Setram and Hex, all who dwarfs our orange bearded friend in the dmg department. Besides that, you want to use fighters not defenders in GB. He has a good use in the faction trial for the infernals, but in any other content, for dmg or tanking he is outshined by pretty much any other hero while his cost is 25. In conclusion, he has an epic beard and a jolly hat, but is hot garbage.
Great points for end game but wow you are missing the point. 99% of players do not have Twinfiend let alone a1 twinfiend and do not have 3 infernal dps out of Zili Nocturne Setram and Hex. He can fill in as the 3rd. Especially if you already have him built and don't want to build Imani or Azzoth or something. I am discussing and ranking him with regard to all players early through endgame - not just how he ranks for people who have every hero.
@@fastidious_gg I don't think I am missing the point. I don't think you have a point to begin with when it comes to GB. He doesn't belong in GB. If you don't have a third infernal faction dmg dealer you are better served with another fighter that you do have available, even if its from another faction. And if you are early game, you aren't swimming in resources to upgrade and 6 star every hero willy nilly, so investing in a hero that gets outclassed by a lot of epics even, isn't sound advice. To a degree almost every hero can have their uses. Especially if you simply don't have the busted stuff. You are demonstrating that in a fun way with your "Dare to rare" series. That is the fun part of the game. And in the end, play how you wanna play and use whoever you like. But objectively Orim is not a good hero compared to the rest of the cast, as a legendary with 25 cost, at any level. The hopefull part of Orim is that Moonton sometimes buff heroes. Making our boy's talent that give allies Critdmg a perm buff would already be a nice step in the right direction. Then he isnt just a tank, but also a nice dmg increase for your whole squad.
That is a sad reality, only way im breaking even 6.5k on NM4 is using Orim as I have a serious lack of Infernal DPS only Pyros and Zilitu (and Dolores ofc)
Orim is total trash. His ult is too expensive for what it does. The counterattack skill is useless since his ATK is low, so no matter the multiplier the dmg will not be high. And the buff skill is only 25s max on deployment, so complete and utter trash. Orim is exactlty in the same league as Azhor. But Azhor at least gets dmg from def.
So Setram was the only one on the banner I didn't get. NOT complaining though. This pull session was my most intense in the period I've been playing. 7 legendary pulls in all and then used that to clear Tide 140 and get my Volka to A3.
Orim is crap and ofc i got x2 ...not usable in any thing cant build him how the fuck do you build him ??? dps he dies ?? tanky he does nothing .... he is a solid Shit tier FFFF unit literally any thing is better .

Awesome stuff!
I managed Boreas, Silas and Alaura. Had to farm promotions for the first time in ages.
Boreas is nasty! I just pulled him today and man o man. A must have
AoE beast for sure
I just pulled Boreas while watching this vid! :)
Lucky!
I pulled Orim, but already have Olague, Regulus, Baron, Isolde fully developed. Also pulled a Hatssut though, so that was a nice compensation!
Same! And have all the same defenders. Haha it sucks
I just pulled both him and azhor tonight, Orim reminds me of a Warhammer fantasy Chaos Dwarf

I've pulled orim twice so far. Was hoping for one of the other two. Oh well, I could use more tanks.
I can't wait for your boreas full review
Will come soon!
I just started playing I pulled Orim as my first legendary
I just pulled boreas as well
I've been helping a friend get their guild boss team together.she doesn't have zilitu, but to get a 4dps infernal team going I leveled orim and built for speed and he does okay. I'm sure with better gear he can do even better.
14:19 Defence is the standard for British English it's like spelling color "colour" different dialects "same" language.
first time gr1-20 with Boreas , OP champ
Excited to test him. Good job!!!
I pulled for Setram got Boreas first and did 20 more and got Setram super super happy.
Dang bravo! Efficient
Pulled them both! Boreas is absolutely amazing so far in gr1
Pulled a boreas from a divine and a second from my regular shard pulls was pulling for a dupe setram but I will take it, curious to see what video says about awakenings
He has great awakenings. Especially a1
Just pulled Boreas this morning
Two things:
1.) It seems to me that when they renamed all the artifacts(which is very annoying), they renamed Zelus' Manuscript and now it's no longer Exclusive. I could be wrong about that, but if it is now available to all mages, how do you reckon that would change it's value?

Zelus artifact it's still exclusive from him
Zelus is still exclusive. And sidegrade is a great way to put it. Wish he had CC or debuffs instead of damage
i pulled razack, a dupe nyx and a brokarr. so yeah. 10X not kind to me this time☹☹. glad everybody else got there boreasses and setrum. happy holidays
Pulled orim! Not upset at all (but was def hoping for setram…) he will be in my GB team when I get one more infernal DPS
I wonder how Orim would do in guild boss as a swap hero. Like rotate him with Laurel wouldn’t be bad 🤔
Not a bad idea! But I think Autumn in a spirit horn would be better (if you could make the range work)
Yeah Orims crit boost got my GB team over 20k finally.
Just wanna point out he does insane damage in all 3 guild raids including GR3.
Just destroyed 1-21 with a1 boreas he drop 109mil and khamet did 80mil was literally shocked
yes he is cracked
who would you suggest between orim or imani as a third infernal dps at GB? (Imani only awakening 1)
Probably Orim I think. Imani at A3 or A5 would be a different story.
thanks man will try him out@@fastidious_gg
Still don't have Setrum, but I pulled 2 Boreas and I think he's going to help me finally finish 1-19 to start getting that better left side gear. Also pulled Orim at the least I think he's going to help with faction trial.
Boreas OP 1-20 first time
Boreas can solo hard carry 1-21. Pair him with Marri, hollow, and usual sacrifice laurel strat. You could also add AI. Literally just finish 21 lol
I just pulled Boreas - I was excited to hear that he's a really good aoe mage since the only good one I have is Eona. I guess if I didn't pull Khamet this guy is the next best thing.

You can certainly try him there. But someone like Brienne would be much better suited.

Did 3 yellow, 80blue 4k diamonds for razak and valk @.@
good rates
I pulled them both (boreas & orim) in x2 and in the gwendolyn's one I found setram😍
Freeze with marri 18 to 21Berau with marri and ai, some said freeze is new meta, ps maul is only slow i think that a5 is freeze masterpiece
Wait, what happened on what stream? 😂
bhahaha
I swear if you get the Setram skin that would be very shocking
Defenders are all underpowered in this game. The only good one that has been released post global is brokkir. Orim Crit passive should just be permanent, then he might actually be good.
I agree. It should be permanent
Thanks for the breakdown, big fan! Seems pointless adding this cool tanky looking character just to end up mediocre.
Should i summon ancients this now?
Boreas was my key for beat gr1-20&21 he makes nearly as much dmg as my A5!!! Khamet, i think he is kinda broken tbh. *he is without skillups!
Why does orim not have a buff for if he the excess of crit rate?
I feel like that could have made him quite good
Maybe like an attack speed bonus
Orim cosplay :D
I pulled 52 legendary shards and got none of the rate-ups. My account is rigged.
Ouch sorry man
Ahhh jeez sorry to hear
What do you think about Orim and Azzoth for lots of burns in GR-1?
Gr 1-18 sure
@dakodaarmstrong98 I was hoping 19 lol but it's too risky to waste 10 5 star food
Sadly, I pulled Orim two times and zero Boreas. I wanted Boreas, so of course I did not pull him.
I want boreas for gear raid 1 stuck at 18 want to get 19+
I think i my stoner is 40k hp and rage regen on 100 brokkir, manic yo
Nice
Boreas is a greek God. (Βορέας) He was the god of Northern winds and his name should be actually pronounced VorEas
can you spell it out phonetically? is it Boar - Ay - Us or Boar - Eee - Us?
Can you do guide on orim
