hands down the best breakdown i've seen of any unit yet. dynamic graphics with an in-depth explanation as to how she and interactions could work. and the editing makes it pleasant to watch. i'd only disagree with her ml design, but that's up to personal preference.
I'm saving to go for her. Thanks for the thorough breakdown of her kit. The anime scenes of this game always make me dream about a full anime about its story.
Your welcome, Teach! So true on the anime! They have so much talent over there, I can't see how it wouldn't be a huge hit. On reddit, they mentioned Smilegate pitched the IP to anime studios and were rejected... sounds crazy.
Had to stop the video for a moment just to say that the quality and presentation here is insane!! Amazing job Suspect Amy!! Now back to see how ML Lua will ruin my Arena career! :(
Haha, thank you, Pap! I always love your comments on my videos. Since she's no good into Harsetti, I feel like she'll suck in arena. How is it possible that every single defense has Harsetti? Lol. Aren't there any poor people in the world anymore?
So basically all the counter heroes are good when they have a forced counterattack NOTED can't wait to change one of my bans to mort and use her with my max cdmg harsetti and asflan. As a waifu only account, I hope you pull her and do some videos with her, it'd be fun to watch!
Yay, you and me might be the only ones pulling for her, my friend. Haha. I did post one video on her. She doesn't work well in RTA (so many better heroes to equip speed gear on) but in Arena she's amazing, I just threw her on a slow bulk set and she stomps everyone (including Mort + Flan + Harsetti). Check out the video!
She's gonna be top tier. That challenge that turns into speed buff is nice. She's also great against aoe attack except hart because i believe her s2 passive has no down time. Her art is a 10/10 to me and im so excited for her skill animations. I hope she has s1 animation too like asflan.
Yay! I'm glad you like her art, there seems to be only a few of us out there lol. I also can't wait to see her animations, I hope they do one when she kicks off Challenge counters.
She's definitely NOT going to be top tier. She's a worse bad cat armin, who nobody uses because they say she's bad. And she's coming out during a time where mort completely shuts her down, and he is everywhere.
@@-8h- What? No way, bad cat's provoke has like a 60% chance of landing, that thing's useless. Hellua is amazing for me in Arena but I don't use her in RTA, there's much better heroes I can put my speed gear on.
ngl, I didn't realize you get a speed buff after the counter. I think her kit is good, its just hard to tell if she will be better than what comes next. But even with her counters, unless you draft two units to counter her, either you get full CR boosting or you get the counters with less CR. I want to pity her, but I've had to pity for MLS for a while now and I think out the last 10 MLs I've gotten outside mystics, only two were not dupes when I'm missing over half the roster... so I'm wanting my next pity to be big. Gonna wait to see what happens in RTA before I pull the trigger.
True, Josh, I will pull for her but I don't have enough to pity so we'll see if I get lucky. People are speculating a big unit at Xmas (ML HwaYoung?) so that might be one worth pitying for. Sorry for your bad luck on your Mystic pulls!
Judging by the thumbnail you have seen the datamined skill cut-in and that one alone is reason enough for me to pull I imagine it being super fun and satisfying seeing her getting hit, then the animation plays and she sends the entire team to counterattack
Eco! I did not see the skill cut! I looked all over the datamine and only got a 1 second gif. Sad panda. I feel like Smilegate will drop her video any day now, so I'll see her in all her glory. I'm a bit worried they change her kit up a bit and my video is worthless haha. But I wouldn't mind if they made Challenge effect happen on any attack, not just counters.
@@gamesuspectamy Yeah I'm also talking about that one second gif, it's not a lot but it lets you imagine what it might look like in the end haha The way I imagine it is Lua activates her S3 to give everyone Challenge which won't have a big animation (similar to Jenua) and the first time she gets attacked that gif alongside her regular animation plays and the entire team counterattacks and after that nothing special happens anymore until the next S3 Sorry for rambling but I do get excited about that kinda stuff haha
Does SPP counter her? I didn't think so. You must mean before they released that steady string of broken heroes. Yeah, I think compared to them, she's underwhelming.
@gamesuspectamy Spolitis doesn't counter her but she really destroys every team with her team comp like (spp,atywin) or (spp,ddr) and yeh compare to other character after spp she is too underwhelming
@@GamingShin07 Good point. They released, like, 5 MLs in a row that you can easily first pick without any counters but that's not the case with Hellua, you almost have to 5th pick her.
Thanks Aqua! I'll try my best. I wonder if Dark Adin will be a story addition? I'm excited to hear more about her, we'll see. I'm still wracking my brain on a way to use Hellion against the meta in Arena Quick Battle. I'm sure I'll think of something lol.
It should right? If you mean her dual attack then I also assume it would because it's following someone else's S1. But you bring up a good point, ASFlan could wreck her with a bunch of dual attacks. I didn't even think of this... On a good note, ASFlan will push her team on every dual attack, so could be a wash.
Reddit gets a lot of units wrong. She is not useless lol. I'm hyped for her, I like her design and the kit looks fun. I had to pity Harsetti, so I hope I get lucky, but the leak gave us ML Hwayoung, so if I don't get Hellua, I can save for ML Hwa lol.
Omg, didn't know about this Hwa leak! They should just release her with her original kit and she'll break the meta lol. I agree with you, I'm hyped for Hellua!
@@h34dbug92 Boooo Husbandos! jk. That might be the Xmas unit. They've released Husbandos every Xmas. Ludwig last Xmas and DDR/Zio the Xmas before. We'll see.
@@17duylongmiend92 True, she almost has to be a last pick. Celine, Fire Politis, Harsetti, Hand Guy, Laia will negate her. ASFlan is also a hard counter that I didn't consider.
Yeah I thought the same way. My friend argued with me that she looks very weak in Mort meta. I mean let not just focus on "Challenge counter" kit, S3 aoe provoke + soul burn ignore res alone is very insane
Now that I have her, in RTA she's a bit tough to use, especially when there's so many stronger units that could use her speed gear... but she completely stomps her counters like Mort and Harsetti in Arena if you make her slow and bulky.
Me too (about wanting her). I just pull on units I like and don't really care too much about the meta. That's the best way to have fun (while getting stomped in RTA lol)
I really don't know why smilegate uses warrior/knight kits on a ranger unit. Just like ML Kayron. He's a thief unit but needs to be equipped with tons of hp gear but still dies easily nonetheless. Ridiculous.
I dunno, it kind of works. Like Aria is a mage and is super beefy. When they have 350 heroes or whatever, they have to mix things up, I think or else class roles will get repetitive. We'll see if it worked though... it would be funny if she just dies from a few S1s lol
@@vandy7228 Yeah, I should have put Soak Flan as a hard counter. Those pesky RNG S1s like Choux or Landy could eat her alive too. I'll have to see how bulky I can make her.
*IF* I'm gonna pull for her it won't be next week. Because the next mystic rotation is flat out weak. I'll let the chef's cook before I make my final decision.
Good take. I doubt anyone would pick her higher than 4th or 5th, unlike the previous mystic heroes. That alone is enough to say she's worse. Could be great in Arena/GW though, maybe in slower teams.
the face look the same ??? ML Lua literally has a face of a loli, but the RGB Lua is not. If you didn't tell, no one will know that's ML Lua. She definitely like a brand new character, the face, the vibe, even the body height, etc. nothing like our Lua. RGB Lua is peak design, very elegant yet very dangerous, very pretty but very foxy. And the ML Lua is like a high school girl (and I don't even like Lua in that stupid theme) with very mid design. ML Lua is has to be something like a head mistress of a cult or mysterious oriental witch. That design ruined Lua. Please don't even call her Lua. You see ML Ilynav, ML Cermia, ML Lilias, ML Vivian ? That's how you do a ML design, not this ... wrong thing.
I meant that Hellua's face looks closer to Lua than Monk's does. Blue Lua's face looks like a young girl to me, not a full adult as you said. Maybe we just see what we want to see haha. The resemblance is close enough to me... not like Sharun, that was a piece of work.
There is some heavy coping in this video. By all means, waste you mystics and pick her in RTA, you'll be giving free wings. You are saying that her provoke and her CR push is so good, but General Purgis and Belian exist and the current META doesn't care about them, plus Belian isn't picked only for her provoke. You already said it, Harsetti sits her down hard, and everyone and their dog has her right now in high level RTA, the whole "you can pick her as last pick" only works if your opponent drafts like an idiot. Mort is pretty popular right now and he's being picked EVERYWHERE, making your new ML only useful in RTA and ONLY if your opponent doesn't pick any of the dozen of heroes that shuts down her kit hard already since her kit is outdated and there are multiple heroes that can deal with her right now really easy. She's also a ranger with provoke, rangers already have really bad defence stats, which means that you will need to have really good defense gear on her or She's just going to die in 2 hits, and with the current META, there's a lot of units that can survive long enough and tank her out. She will only work if her counter mechanic let's everyone counter even with Mort in the field which is highly unlikely.
You make some good points... some I agree with. I think you're making my point for me. Belian doesn't strip on her AOE provoke, so you'll need to bring a stripper + Bellian + G Purgis onto the battlefield to do just what Hellua does... AND they still don't have ignore ER. For RTA, i dunno about dozens of counters... I'll ban A Tywin, Harsetti, then as long as their team doesn't pick Celine, Politis, Hand Guy or Laia, she's an easy 5th pick. Even without challenge, this basically guarantees your team has 1 turn with full skills and their team has 1 turn with only basic attacks. If you can't pull off a win by turn 2... well, that's another story. Your point about tanking her out is a very good one. 1 turn cleave is much harder these days because of DB Senya, BBK, etc, this is why I'm hoping she can lap to clean up in a second turn. For this we'll have to wait and see. What hero in this game dies from 2 S1 hits? The only time this would be an issue is with RNG heroes like Choux and Candy.
True. Last batch of ML5s can all be first picked with essentially no counters... that is 100% not the case with Hellua. I wouldn't mind if they buffed her Challenge effect (8% extra dmg, speed buff) to work on any attack, not just counters. Come on Smilegate!
I don't like her character I mean character and unit illustration not her kit. CR push always welcome she's dark element she always drag light element to her automatically, if I have her I use her but I won't pay for her for sure.
He not resistant to provoke though so Hellua should still be able disable his team for 1 turn... but yeah, losing out on the challenge dmg will be poopy. We'll see!
