- Vault Keeper Wixwell is the first community generated fusion champion in Raid History. With all this exclusivity and choice - we should be hyped to get this champion from the fusion. The feedback and community sentiment however seems to be quite negative towards Wixwell. The real question we always ask - Is this Fusion worth doing? In this video, I try to give you my thoughts and why he may not be as bad as you think.

JUSTICE FOR SAPH. GIVE TEST SERVER ACCESS NOW.
He chose to not follow the path to become a CC standing on his own two feet, he can live with the consequences.
For me it has nothing to do with how good he is but how much Raid has been changing their fusions to take more resources. In his case part of why I jsut don't really care to get him is that they made it 1 rare and it is a void. Add that to other things they have changed over time and I just don't care as much to put in the effort.
Watch you pull 2 during an extra leggo event 😂
I completely agree, I'm doing the fusion reluctantly because I do have a use for him, but frak me getting everything done over these past few months is turning the game into a 2nd job. Ofc I could just dial down my level of activity, but I'm trying to not get left behind by my clan.
TBF, he should be Void if he takes void rares and then the epics should be void too to justify the resource requirement.
More and more harder
@@yes3858 you can't get void rare during extra legendary event. extra legendary is ancient or sacred only.
I don't think he's a bad champ. He is very solid and I'm going for him on both my main and my alt account. One major issue about Wixwell, is that his provoke is not aoe. This means he's not reliable as a provoker in hydra unless you manual it. The reason why auto hydra teams are the most popular teams outside those few bonkers Trunda/Gharol teams is because few outside those top clans are interested in sitting down for an hour or two to do a run. Auto teams are what the majority want. Moreover, you could be well towards that hour when something goes terribly wrong and you have to redo it. So no auto = so what to the largest portion of the community. This will inevitably bring some negativity by itself but there is more to it than that.
He was also touted as a "Must do" Can't skip" and even "Better than Gnut" before the ink was dry on the paper as to his kit. That is a massive reason why the community had a negative reaction to him, at least around my friends who play it was. That is fomo creating weeks before the fusion started and we are sick of Paylarium's fomo and we definitely don't want CC's pushing it down our throats either. Those who have access, should reserve these statements until they have TESTED the champ then give their expert/experienced opinion as to if it's a "Can't skip" "Must do" "Better than Gnut" champ. Before that, say what you think by what you read on paper, but how many times have paper champs that look amazing on said paper turned into wet noodle champs in reality. Think before you speak, we want real and accurate information, not sensationalised over hyped up speculation from those we trust to give us the best advice on champs that they can get their hands on before the general player base spends it's time and resources getting it.
I'm not saying this to have a go at CC's. I'm saying what I hear and say myself in conversations, that CC's are either hyping a champ or dogging it BRFORE the play test and then trying to fit their pre-test thoughts into matching the reality. Looking for it to be bad and ignoring what is good and vis versa. Professionals need to be objective, and what is coming across more and more is subjective bias one way or the other and that will eventually blow back on those who push it at us. It's not my thoughts alone on the matter, it's a consensus of those I speak with mainly, some have other reasons but this is the most common impression we have amongst my circle. Ultimately, we are friends because we are, or have similar interests and so it may be that different individuals and circles of friends think/feel differently, but it's a warning from one that will take the time to tell you what's going on in my part of the community, and you ask why.
btw. I personally did not regret not getting Morgaine, so many other options it's, ok, she would have made it easier in that one rotation, but done it in another way regardless, so no real loss and no fomo about any fusion champ now, or in the future... because?... It's a game!
I like the break down you give. I do not care that CC overhype or undersell champs I just think it is also important to play Devil's advocate. I have taken that approach with this champion. My feeling on him are really how I feel but most of the time I just let it be and roll with whatever happens however this time I decided to be vocal and the initial pushback I got made me more confident in my convictions because all the reasonings given for him being great, I could easily pick apart. The one place I completely have not pushed back on is his viability in a manual run of Hydra. If you like to manual Hydra he is one of the best champions in the game. If you like to play the game on auto, which most are only willing to do this, then he loses so much value in hydra. He is technically the best provoker for hydra of any champion in the game on manual but we have to think in the lens of the majority imo. Especially when giving opinions on champions that might drain all of someone's resources. People look at the videos to decide if they want them and only highlighting the good can hurt when someone is not experienced or not super technical with the game and its mechanics.
@@BubbaBasher02 I totally agree that if you like to play hydra manually, then there is probably no better provoker in the game, except maybe The Archer, but few actually have her. I'm one of the lucky ones that do and she has never failed me. But then, I can auto with her too. I feel, as do many of my Raid mates that many CC's have gone too far down the road to sensationism instead of clear headed advice without personal bias after a readthrough of a kit. Sure, you can have an opening opinion/theory just from what you see on paper, but the point of doing something professionally, and doing this as a full time job that you earn your living from is just that, then you must do so without bias especially when your advice is what many people are listening to, to make their informed decisions about spending their resources or not.
It's fine that you have no problem with the hyping, under selling, but I would say that it does play into how they then test and report the champ. Be consistent, and have the same test areas, which many do, and use set equipment of each type that you place on the champs to get a direct comparison from champ to champ, which rarely, if ever happens. Run a set amount of runs each time and In that way, you have a straight line where you can measure one champ of each type against another and then you can say this is the chart and this champ sits here on it. Unfortunately, this does not happen, and so we never really know how they measure up against each other. That's my opinion, and how I would set up my test program, but then I have a science background, and testing should have a consistent measurable baseline source as far as I'm concerned lol. Ofc, some measure of RNG is there too but you have a closer proximity to the actual skills in play. testing in arena is much harder ofc, as you cannot have the same team in the same gear every time you test but for PvE this would work.
That is one way to play Devil's Advocate, because you can have a theory/belief about a champ but the testing will show you whether you were right or wrong, and you can give clear advice based on the real results. That is what then determines your decision as a player to do/not do the fusion.
As for this champ, I'm going for him on both accounts for different reasons. For my alt f2p account, I think he will boost my CB team by protecting my stun target (killable team). On my main, I think he'll be a great use for Amius to protect my cleanser/reviver from the stun. It won't stop the sleep as it can't be blocked, or resisted by any means. But it could potentially be a massive help there. I could be wrong about that, and simply have a Vault dwelling, Vault keeper lol.
I will do the fusion....But I am more interested in how Akemtum works at the end of your spider run
I wasn’t going for him….then while pulling for othorion (got hurndig no othorion 😢) I pulled 2 of the epics for the fusion…I felt it was mandatory since the events had only just begun. I now only need two more rares so I’ll probably have him finished tomorrow lol
That is golden haha. I am jealous. If you only had to do half the events everyone would get every champion
@@BubbaBasher02 yeah part of me wonders if I had a better chance of pulling othorion than two of the same epics that are for this particular fusion
@@T.Lawson1029 honestly probably lol
To put it simply, I am not doing it because off complete burnout when it comes to fusions, still got champs from 3 fusion ago to book masterie and gear And about 20+ champions to do masteries on so will be getting those done before I even Look at a fusion(unless its a gnut type fusion)
Issue is now, where 2 events have ended, the only way people will get him now is by getting the epic from the summon rush. If people change their mind now it'll now be is he worth 10+ sacreds which is what the epic will be given plariums history. I say theres no reason not to get him but if people didnt already get the 2 rares it's probably to late
you lost the plot my fried :) even if they pull crazy requirement for summon rush... so what, skip it, you will pull him anyway next time you pull shards, because dupes are fusions most of the times :)
Someone pls help me understand this. I have 2 rares maxed but can't go further on Wixwell. But the fusion board shows I have all Teryx needed. kinda confusing 😕
@@aloziechibueze337 i've already fused 1 epic and and have 2 more rares waiting for training tournament. I just play the game with resources that the game gives me. It requires more than 5minutes of play a day... for sure.
@maciekwar thanks. I just don't understand the game man. I thought we are free to go all out/max him early if we have all the needed rares and epic
@@aloziechibueze337 you can fuse him as soon as you have 4 epics ranked, leveled, and star'd up
I want him to build a hydra team. The provoke and the buff extension are what I need from him. The shield, shield growth and increase defence are nice bonusses, but those are going to double up. What bothers me is how the intercept is going to work... is it going to be enough to reliably keep fear off my team, because then I can replace shamael. What if I do run a shamael. Will the turn meter increase be gone because the fear gets intercepted before the pasive triggers, or does the pasive work first?
Intercept before passive, watch nubraids vid on him for an example 😊
@@T.Lawson1029 That's so dumb. Then the "buff" is taking away something that's helping me...
I am going for him cus I had some shards and energy/gems stored, and I need a buff extender for 2:1 ratio to cooperate with Elva. Except of that I am getting increase def and decrease attack. That is good when you don't have unkillable
I'm going for him because I think I could make use of him in hydra, which I admiringly don't do as often as I should.
I am going for him to assist with building a Hydra team. I agree with below comments re Plarium, reducing points attained per run in fusion events/challenges and artifact enhancements costing more silver, are a negative in chasing fusions. As you say he has a unique ability that is worth having for future use, I missed out on Morrigane!!
I think if they changed just the dungeon divers events then everyone would be happy, those ones are notoriously harder than any other
I was hoping to get him and make the most nasty infinity shield clan boss team with Brogni but I don't think his shield increase is significant enough.
His Shield growth will at some point be better than brognis. In the beginning Brogni will grow the shield because it is damage based. And at some point wixwell will grow it better because his growth is a % aid the shield. So if the shield got really huge he is a good growth champion.
I wonder what gear would be best. Relentless so he can get his buffs out even more or reflex to refresh those abilities
For someone who uses Skeuramis in one of my teams, Wixwell will be a 2.0 version of him so it's pretty much no-brainer to do this fusion. I tend to skip a lot of these and then enjoy my abundance of resources when I happen to want one.
I think the negativity is actually game fatigue because now plarium has added hero paths between fusions and now there is literally no downtime between events and FOMO won’t let most active players skip anything.
My suggestion to everyone is skip now and again. It makes the next round so much easier and more pleasant overall.
P.S. is the minimal shield growth a bug? Will it be fixed?...
I don't think it's a bug. It appears to grow as a percentage of the shield value when the growth occurs. That's exponential scaling. So if they were to make the multiplier big enough to be significant at low shield values, it would quickly get out of hand in an infinity comp. It's currently still possible to get to massive shields with him, it just takes longer to ramp up than Brogni and probably requires more mitigation to allow Wixwell to outgrow the incoming damage. Running them together would allow Wixwell to outgrow Brogni sooner.
So they've essentially made it useless for normal teams because they chose to make it scale exponentially if the shield isn't falling off or being damaged too much. If they made the growth scale based on Wixwell's defense, they wouldn't have to worry about this. AFAIK they've never made a change like that to buff a fusion after the event has begun.
i decided i'm going for him cause i've never completed a fusion before and i need help on my hydra team. i even decided to spend a little on some resources to get through the initial rough part of the events and tournaments. i should have enough sacreds and voids to get me through the last summon rush.
I got super lucky when I pulled my ancients, picking up the epic. Knowing that the summon rush will also have an epic, this fusion will be very easy. I have 20 sacreds banked, so no trouble there. I already have 6 of the rares, and will get one with the epic too. I basically only need one more.
I really like Wixwell, hopefully i can still get him. My dungeon divers failed cause of multi battles stopping part way through and not having much time
One thing I have not seen cc's talk about is the possibilities of him on an infinity cb team. Krisk, cadaver, brogni, lanakis and him. Double increase on shields will make cadaver hit harder faster. I really think this could seriously push that team setup to the limits of what you can do.
Yeah that is more of a for fun thing though. Nobody who needs to just beat UNM CB will benefit from this champion unless they understand how to build a traditional team, which most people do not. Most of (if not all) the CC do not use infinity CB teams either which is also probably why you are not seeing much talk around this subject form creators.
@BubbaBasher02 that's where I'm at in this game tho is doing things for fun. I've beaten all I can actually do so now I really just make the different non traditional teams. I hit unm for 102 mil with my myth heiress team comp quick battle. I like the challenge of building harder teams cause like I said that's all I have left.
@@InsaneFlaGATORS that makes sense. That’s is what the game boils down to at the end of the day. I respect your decision to go for him! I’m getting him for a similar reason, doing fusions is fun for me. I do think he is not viable for those reasons for a lot of the player base tho.
@BubbaBasher02 he would also help make new teams for hydra which I loathe but a lot of people feel the same lol. Newer players for sure need him for that
@@InsaneFlaGATORS yeah but most people will not manual and for that reason he loses soo much value
I'm ftp and this is my first attempt at a fusion. it looks doable so I'm not going to miss it - mainly because my pulls have been utter crud (except Demytha). This will be my second lego; the first being the daily login champ. Pretty crap but it's a lego with a five-star blessing that is carrying my utterly mediocre team through CB.
he's Islin 2.0 but with a better provoke ability and not so great shield. For me, he will be a nice addition to the roster
Some people are upset because his skill are not the ones they wanted, some have a lot of champs and feel he won't bring enough to the table, as they already have good teams.
would love to see you and bronko collab!
I have the resources so I would go for him but it will be good if they gave an absolute hydra monster to entice more players - we really don't have enough block buff and buff removal - I find sun wukong to be super useful but then I don't know the odds of pulling a dupe of him, it will be good to have a fusion with his A3 and wythir's A3 as this champions A2 and a passive that revives two dead allies with 50% health and perfect viel. An A1 with aoe low chance of decrease speed will be nice. This will help people struggling with hydra while it may not be breaking any damage records. Most top tier teams brute force the boss while others struggle to have champions who can do multiple roles. Something like this will be very versatile and would work without the need for super high end gear. It may be unrealistic but just wanted to put it out there
I’m going for him no question. I just broke into brutal hydra and I really think he will push me to the next level
I really like what they did here, letting the community have a say in his kit, and I hope they continue to do this. Im skipping though, since I dont feel like he is gonna do much for my account
Weird... It was one of few fusions I instantly decided I am doing... Strang to hear that someone dislikes him.
I belive sentinel with the tier 6 defense mastery that icreases the chane of provoke is also a 100% chance, correct me if i am wrong
I'm picking him up cause I had stored up energy and needed to pull some stored fragment champions but it's kinda sad that his shield growth is nonexistent.
i found him really good for hydra since the begining, what annoyed the most was his passive placing a non protected counter attack after the first turn and yeah in hydra u can just give him a lot of resistance and forget about it but we all know hydra loves to 3% you 100% of the time and i dont really feel like resseting runs every week just cause i keep getting 3% by mischief
Well that is why you still would want to bring block buffs. I agree with the sentiment that his counter attack being protected would be super good :)
I pulled Herphant Lazerus. The primal lizard man. From that moment, the fusion no longer mattered to me.
Just pulled him so I guess I he’s my new hydra provoker now.
I already screwed the fusion on my alt account by missing dungeon divers. It's f2p so I can't rescue it in summon rush. Having a life is incompatible with dungeon divers...
Yes, dungeon diver needs 1000 point nerf. Why do I have to do twice the work as the ice golem event?
I don't think anyone is saying he is a bad champ, he is just an average fusion but some people are trying to make it like he is a level under Gnut.
About hydra - with the epic emp, one of the champs that will see a lot of play will be Whisper, and she has self-buff which means she cannot be in the same team with this guy IF you want to use him as mischief tank. The same goes for any other self-buff champion who is good in Hydra. And for any end-game account, he is definitely not a champ that you build a team around.
About Cursed city - it is really personal. On my account, I have issues with force attack rooms and spirit epics (talking about hard).
I manual my run as well, and I was getting him to try instead of Islin, if they just made Islin A1 provoke much higher rather than be conditional when he counterattacks, he'll be much better support in terms of protecting, mischief tanking and putting dec speed, since his Provoke on his A1 is only 50% + bad affinity, he sucks which pisses me off
I skip about 30% fusions, I only miss skipping one (the rat) I was going to skip but this guy is one buff away from being really good imo. He super far down my build list, but if they ever do UNM hydra… he might be one of the best provokers out there, needs a buff sadly out of the shoot. Going for him, but not excited. Your Ramantu theory is interesting.
He is not bad enough to get a buff imo. The champions they have buffed are only the extremely bad ones. He is very viable the way he is he is just not better than his value over replacement.
Just like you said, he is not crazy. With the amount of time and recourse sink a fusion is, I only want to go for crazy! Armanz was that.
He is crazy for manual or endgame auto Hydra teams, and is very unique, but I’m skipping due to already having great Hydra champs and being very low on resources.
I am going for him casually, he can guard my vault if I get him
I just want to run sanddevil but going for him
I'm not a huge fan of Wixwell. I would put him more as a 3.5 or 3* Champ. Provoke (esp on a single target A1) is solid for Hydra and Magma dragon(does this content even matter anymore?), but rather inflexible. His A2 is solid too, Dec Atk + Increase Buff Duration makes him usable in Hydra for a strong defense option especially combined with a veil champion. His A3 seems interesting and I would need to test it more to really give it a fair value. Along with his passive he has some uses. I would say he gets a strong "Go for it" rating for anyone early game or who is struggling with what he brings in Hydra, especially if they are struggling with torment.
For an end game player such as myself and my clan mates, He is just average. If I am comparing him to other provokers who bring and extend buffs (ex. Krisk/Graazur) He falls short. That unfortunately also means his lifespan in the game is limited unless they release more content which makes his intercept necessary. 3.5 stars seems fair to me.
I think a lot of the push back is because of the overrating of unique champions and fusions, especially as more of the community shifts to late game. Before his abilities were even chosen content creators where saying he is a must get fusion for all players. Some going so far as to say best fusion ever. Bad takes like this harm CC reputation as a whole, even if CCs like you have level-minded takes.
which cc said he is the best fusion ever?
even at 4 star, thats basically as good as kael which is great at early level or even mid but late or end game you find other champions
gues su havent seen wixwell doing 100billion damage vs hydra yet? lolol
I don't listen to a single thing anyone online has to say about champs. I judge it on my own, and most champs I have picked up and built, I have found a use for and had fun doing it.
Every single time one of these fusions drops, you will find 100 weasels coming out of the woodwork screaming about how bad it is, an how people shouldn't do it. Then every single time I've done it, I haven't regretted it like they said I would. You just really have to stop listening to rando's online. Look at the champ yourself. Read it's power set. Its not that it has value to some stranger on the web, it's whether it has value to your account. The 'vocal' opinions online tend to be more elitist than not.... if it's not the absolute top tier endgame champ that Plat players use, then they consider it utter crap. Stop listening to these fools and use your own brain to determine its value for you.
I hope not much people fuse him to get some kind of advantage on Hydra
From all that have put their input I agree with this but the only thing that is a drag is the requirements for it’s just burns tons of needed resources nd materials - nevertheless I am going for him cause just like Saph mentioned is everything yu need for hydra
my only negative point is the low shield growth. i was expecting at leaats half a brogni shield grow. im going for him anyway because if i ever get a brogni, he will be a cool adition to the team.
Basically, i was disapointed seing the shield growth (or not seing) and that drove me to hate it a bit
He's shield 🛡️ grow is going to be fix
@@adrian.82 yes please. was there an anouncement?
A hydra champion with a unique buff that is best for arena and he needs to be manually played......ok fine but His counterattack can be removed and his sheild growth doesn't work. They need to fix him.
I am ambivalent about this champ AND ALL OTHER CHAMPS right now! I just don’t think I want any more, nor need any more. The last few months have been exhausting and I just don’t want to do what Plarium want me to do anymore.
I think he is the only champion that grows shields by the % of the shield so you can make a hydra team with him and Yannica and do over a billion damage. Look up the video "Bronko raid shadow legends" did on it. It looks like it uses no glitches so I doubt it will get patched.
The only teams that used glitches or exploits were the Amius solo, because he wouldn't use his abilities, and Nogdar the Headhunter on Sand Devil on its release.
Cadaver got "patched" despite needing a fortune for the team to be put together and specific champs as well, no exploits involved.
To sum it up, whichever CC applies more leverage and/or pressure to get whatever's beating their clan or node nerfed, might get away with it. I've seen some arguments not even seasoned lawyers could've come up with in order to get stuff out of their way. So yeah, sometimes they make it, sometimes they have to adapt or use the same strat.
good energy
Players have fusion fatigue. Unless the chap is OP somewhere we care about (in my case FK Hard), we have so many great champs in the vault ungeared, unbooked, unbuilt…fusions are a skip. The pushback is less about the quality of the champ and more about resources and time. Players are frustrated.
I am looking at him as a fire knight hard champ. faultless defense would mean that he gets 7 hits as soon as the bad fyro takes a turn.
I like him and am doing the fusion, but I think the hate has to do with Community Week. The expectation was for him to be extra strong because it's a celebration for the players. Especially after how weak Adelyn is, and in contrast to how broken Armanz is.
For a mid game player who doesn't have an immortal clan boss build, it could be useful. This is why I'm going for him.
I will have to be straight up and admit I was wrong, he is a must fusion and is a great fusion but to be fair this is only until they nerf him or nerf Yannica as he slowly will do Togron shield, and the strat will work in a harder way but it will! therefore he is a must do fusion! I was wrong you were right all along
Yeah, I had to switch gears pretty fast. I got 1 epic ready today, but I think I missed a rare still. If they nerf this, oh well. At least I went for it 😆
I think that use for him applies to 1% of the player base though. For you that may be a good enough reason, especially if you have all the components to make it happen day one, but for the majority that is a poor way to decide on doing a fusion because they would not be able to pull that comp off. I agree for you if you have the pieces but it does not make him a must do fusion for the majority of players.
Easier than Trunda and double Yumeko 😆 That's why I fear a nerf. Gamble, sure but if they don't nerf... I can target other voids
@BubbaBasher02 you only need Yannica (free champ) and any buff extenders, the better champs you have the easier it is that's why I fear a nerf
@@joelcorona2746 yeah I will concede that it only applies to the 1%. I don’t think this makes him a must fuse but if it is not nerfed that is pretty sick use for him.
I like him for my Sigfrund Teams
I'll admit, I was disappointed after seeing his shield growth. More specifically the apparent lack of it, but now we know that his shield growth is multiplicative, so the bigger the shield gets the bigger the increase each time. Now I know that it makes him much better for me.
I like him. Getting on my alt as well. I think his shield growth is weak on purpose to keep from going into eternal cb teams with or instead of Brogni
I genuinely don’t think I need him, though the new buff is very interesting and reliable provoke is excellent of course. It’s not like Armanz where you needed to get him defensively, regardless of how irritating sheep/polymorph is. Or Gnut who was a game changer at all levels.
But I do hope no one decides to not go for him just because of the vocal community backlash. Don’t worry about peer pressure if you need help with Hydra, or even if you just want to the fusion because you want to.
Mikage & Wixwell should work real nice....
Hell hades mine as well be working for palaruim
I could use him in Hydra and he's the first I'm actually going for though it's pretty clear he's not the best fusion champion. Plarium's player "appreciation" is more of a joke than the 5th anniversary was.
_I'm seeing a pattern for these fusion champs..._
_They're centered around PVP or Hydra,_
_...Plarium can you come up with better ideas !?_
Why i don't want to do the fusion. Dungeon divers.
I have a life outside of the game and DD is clearly 1000 points too much to get a small piece of any fusion. Imo any other quest is reasonable but why do i have to spend twice the energy of dungeon content?
We talk shit because to fuse him is a bunch of fkn voids
For me it's like what others have said. It's not Wixwell himself, it's the things surrounding him.
The resources need and points needed are ridiculous, I'd expect this for a mythical, not a lego. We also haven't had a break from these events since Rathalos and the Blademasters appeared. Think about that and how resource draining it is to do events for months on end.
They need to give players a break, a month of events, two weeks to get champ, two weeks to get stars, then a month off so we can build resources.
As it is now the fatigue is just unreal and it's sucking the fun out of the game.
Also, with so many fusions etc, and the champ training that comes with them, I now have about 6 rank 6 champs that are around level 52, with ZERO scrolls because I need to spend all my time doing these time limited champ collection events, effectively making them useless. Give us a month to reap what we sow and get those champs through mino to level 60 and scrolled.
Basically, we all need a break.
I think this is how events have gone:
Blademasters>Armanz>Adelyn>Wixwell.
Assuming a month for each champ that's four months where people haven't had time to just have a break, recuperate, gather resources, max the characters we worked hard to get, and just enjoy the game.
Also it wouldn't be so bad if they introduced a new kind of event where we get points for earning scrolls and unlocking masteries. At least then it would be incorporated, and they could do these events between major character events.
But yeah, mostly we need a break between events. It isn't actually Wixwell (although that provoke on a lego absolutely SHOULD be AoE NOT single target).
Good vid Saph.
EDIT:
Also Saph, due to the resources constantly needed in these events, I don't have enough to experiment with different teams in certain areas such as Sand Devil or Iron Twins. It all costs energy but all the energy is going to these events.
I'm going for him. I'm assuming that many of the folks saying negative things about him are wanting to skip the work/time/expense of doing the fusion and it's easier to trash the character than simply say, "I'm not doing this, I need a break, I hope I don't regret missing out on him."
the next 2 fusions will be offensive and support. The community did not choose last time.
See I dont really do hydra, and that seems to be his main place. I need void super nukers for arena, and void super supports also for arena.
Also his shield grow seems literally nothing lol.
And Intercept seems super gimicky
90% of the salt is because more pvp oriented people wanted an ignore stoneskin champ, while not understanding that he would undoubtedly be given shitty multipliers (a la Ailil).
He will replace Kantra in my NM hydra team. Maybe put him in HEX gear....
I was exited about him as an alternative for Georgid, at least it was a chance... I have enough hydra champs but for arena i need someone who can bypass stoneskin and oneshot the enemy... Doing this fusion only because he has some unique abilities but still don't like him
spread one random buff from ally max come handy for him in Arena
The real question is, is he worth busting my hump for? I have a full time job that ain’t video games and I don’t have time to sit here and play raid shadow legends all the time. Also, I haven’t got a ton of energy for the ridiculous dungeon diver requirements. If the summoning event for that epic is too crazy I probably won’t be able to finish this because I missed the points on champion training for the rare. If I cannot get that epic then it’s over. In a way o don’t care because he’s not gonna change much on my account right out the door. He isn’t gonna be put on my UNM CB team and I am not a fan of Hydra.
the answer is always no, real life is so much more important
said it before, this guy is gonna be like Panda to introduce new buff. It'll appear later on a void lego or mystical for your full team
People dont like him cuz. they want an excuse to skip him. Seeing this alot in TH-cam comments and my clan's discord.
For end game he's also not good. He'll be a vault guy for him but still going for him
Now he show some good dmg on Hydra but they will fix it. So it's skip fusion. I got an archer queen before. I have Trunda and Yumeko's, so I'm ok.
Honestly i was expecting wixwell to hit hard and a better growth shield skill
I think fatigue has a lot to do with it. People have a little bitterness how the skill picking went from the comments I’ve seen. I think the choose-your-own idea would have gone differently if Plarium had said, “Defense is new ability, Offense will have good multipliers, Support will synergize or whatever.”
I think he’s a solid champ that will help me even in endgame for Hydra and SilverSuckCity. I was luckily able to skip all Mikage events and Eostrid’s souls. Hoarding through those make Wix easy for me. I also have to do his events kinda. I e hoarded so many champs/gear that I need room badly.
I'm getting him 'cause I do all fusions.
But it's a mediocre champ with an aptly chosen last name, and the Provoke ability being the only marginally useful thing he brings to the table. Use Michinaki for Hex? Got Atk down already. Nekmo for speed ctrl? Atk down again. Etc. The single target new buff is there so we can be their playtesters.
I always save my resources for fusions and really only play during fusions. Why not? I can upgrade my champs once a month and get a freebie basically. I save a copy of every champ. Good thing I did given the new content. I only have to lv 60 champs. Most are booked and all are at least lv 40-50 fully acended and awakened as far as possible.
Hes not terrible but hes specific
cba with the grind, its just to much work
He's not bad. he just doesn't replace my udk being the same infinity, so for me, it's just not worth my time and resources to complete the fusion.
So, I'm going for him in the hopes of him getting buffed, but as to why I have issues with him at the moment and considered a hard pass, and based on what you think is good -
'One of the best provokers in the game' - It takes time - but you can get Drexthar for way less hassle who has a 60% chance AoE provoke, 100% if the target is under HP burn, on a 3 turn CD. Not against bosses - everyone. Oh, and his A1 does HP burn on a 3 hit, and his passive when he gets hit has a 75% chance to place it if you didn't bring another HP burn champ. Visix - 3 turn CD on a 100% provoke with no affinity problems - given to you after signing in x number of days. Toragi - an epic so easier to book, get 10 buffs out on the enemy team/heads - 100% chance on a 3 turn CD, with other epics like Prundar or the insanely useful Vogoth having 75% AoE's. Instead of waiting for A1 hits on waves for a chance to provoke, or to hit the bosses with an A1 (possibly cause you got hit) with 100%. Cause as I recall - the one head you can provoke only attacks when it can't heal, and isn't it one of the few that's a single target attack? Meaning you'd need it to want to attack Wixwell for his CA to mean anything in trying to provoke it?
'increase buff duration' - half a dozen non-void epics do that (another 2 voids do it as well) and Valerie, a rare I'm 90% sure you can farm to not even waste rare books on for a 3 turn buff extender if you don't have any of the epics or other legendries that can do it.
'Decrease ATK' - Dark Kael does AoE decrease ATK, lots of champions do Decrease ATK on AoE these days. Many of which have been free/login champs (UDK and Artak) or you eventually get through other means (Dark Kael).
'Increase Defense' - again, lots of champs have that these days - including even rare champions.
'Shield' - yes - a shield that in most videos looks absolutely pathetic compared to Helicath, Valk, or UDK's, which might not be so bad if every video didn't also show his shield growth being garbage. But once again - a lot of champions do AoE shields.
Other than the shield growth and provoke - I can effectively replicate his entire kit with 1 epic you get from DT and a couple rares - leaving 2 spots in normal content and 3 in Hydra for whatever other champions - which can cover anything else - and those 3 initial champions bring far more utility, for far less hassle, and way less resources in terms of trying to get books and all. Intercept in theory sounds great - but so far seems less practical than just having a block Debuffs champ/champs that block all debuffs - not just CC ones. The one thing that truly would have made him a legendary people would be fighting for was if his shield grow made him similar to Brogni with a different affinity - but so far that hasn't happened. Which if using his A3, where intercept is, cancels out any shield growth especially if they fix his - well that means it's useless anyway and your bringing a block debuffs anyway.
Plarium did a horrible job designing and implementing his kit. And before I see anyone replying 'well we voted on it' - the designs were botched before we ever voted on it, and the multipliers and chances honestly so far seem to suck in videos I've seen. Forget about future content likely relying on Intercept - he's a prototype champion, so odds are by then we'll have epics or other legendary champs that do it, and possibly full team from the start, also means he should have been easier to get but Plariums staff on that department not always the sharpest tools in the shed, his kit and all as it stands is at best mediocre - for a legendary champ, on a harder style fusion, meant to be capping off 'community weeks' - which is more like flipping off the community, especially with the free login champ not exactly being great either and things like limiting both the time to get the extra rewards and how many points per day you can get towards them. Yes - he's one champion that does all those things - but he doesn't really do them that well, and really only shines a bit in 1 piece of content and even that is debatable, where as bringing in a couple champs - you can do all the same but better in the same content. He seems more like a glorified epic, that's my issue with him. They change his shield extend - auto fixes that for me if he becomes an alternate to Brogni, but as is - where the only time I've seen him make decent shields is still Hydra but in a reflex set, it's hard to say he's actually worth it.
He looks cool am going for him. How can you say he bad champ he looks so good. This guy
This video right.
I already have 2 epics and 1 rare for the fusion but the dungeon divers consume a Lot of energy WTF
Dungeon divers should be nerfed 1000 points. Cost twice the energy as the dragon event.
People should have voted for the instant poison pop skills instead
Poisons are half dead right now tho
I'm skipping it but that because I'm tapped out from getting Eostrid. Goona get 2 of the Epic for the GH, and chill.
I don’t understand the misunderstanding with this champ! It’s a must fuse. I don’t get it.
"a screenshot" sure saph :)
I will do the fusion, but I feel like his "value" in hydra is reduced by my lack of interest in the current hydra. my trunda team has to beat thier trunda team. good hydra champions don't mean anything here. so they are adding a good hydra champion to a mode they have left broken for almost a year.
if this fusion gave trunda would you not say that's more impactful in hydra clash than Wixwell? bester place to spend my books to win Hydra?
I think they are afraid to give you test server access because you will point out all the obvious issues before they can release it and say, "wwhoops too late we can't change it now"
Hey Seph, have you seen this video?
link is down below my comment.
Wixwell can be used in a strategy with Yannica for ultra-Hydra damage. 900 million in one hit in this video and there can be more.....
Obviously, most Players who call Wixwell the worst fusion ever don't have any fantasy or imagination.
Maybe we are too comfortable now, after we saw the absolute OP and boring Armanz, who can clear most of the content by himself.
Sorry, but for the sake of this game and all players who will start AFTER Armanz could be fused, he should be balanced.....
But I DO like champs like Wixwell, who can fill two or more roles in 1 team and has a wide way to be strategically used in many teams or content.
With the faultless defense blessing, his counter attack and his 2 hit A1, he can be a very good choice for Fireknight hard. Just think of it, with shield and increase DEF, your team should survive the Fireknights first attack AND THEN he reduces the Fireknights shield instantly by 7 stacks, every time the Fireknight smacks! He even has decrease attack which adds to wholy protect your team from being killed.
Fireknight hard is one of the hardest content, which many players have problems with. Wixwell could help SO many players.......
And i have seen a video too, where Wixwell completely protects your whole team against beeing Stunned by the Demonlord over time.
So even here is a role to fill.
Most part for early-, mid-, and lategame players for their progression, but with yannica together even in the endgame for killin' those nasty Hydra heads ^^.
Just imagine if his passive woult be the "increase damage with poison debuffs", that would be monstrous!
Thank you Seph and the whole HellHades Team for all your Work and for beeing such an important part of the Raid: Shadow legends community

I wont be going for him because i dont have enough resources and i already have Brogni and Bambus
I'm end game, I don't need him. Whatever he offers, I already got champs that can do better. Normal - Trunda team. Brutal and nightmare are high end champs that get me to turn cap every week.
i am skipping just simply because of time, and i have a ton of other champs to rank up. Gonna bite me in the ass probably but im burnt out on fusions tbh
He was a hydra god 2 videos ago…😂
IMO he's a solid champ, but not S tier. Could be a nice to have, but I already have solid hydra teams that 1 key and have decided to skip to rebuild some resources.
The question shouldn't be if a champion is objectively "good." Instead, the question should be if he is good for a given individual's account and style of play.
Let's also be clear about something else that I've never heard content creators mention: NO Champion is "worth" going for, in terms of the resources and time you need to expend. Your account would be much better off spending that time and those resources developing the Champions you already have. Regardless of how objectively "good" Wixwell may be, even he won't do you any good if you can never develop him.
Saph, I hear what you're saying about trying for Champs who have a unique skill. That assumes, though, that the new skill will be both relevant to all players (unlikely) and that the new skill won't find its way into the kits of there Champions as well (also unlikely). He doesn't bring much to the table for the vast majority of players, though, who aren't even playing Hydra or Iron Twins or any of the other kraken content.
My take on Wixwell: I think he fills a niche for high-end krakens. I have no interest in him.
Theres a wixwell yannica team that can deal upwards of a billion damage in hydra
That team will be nerfed, they nerfed Emic, when they found out his shields are too strong, they nerfed Corpulent Cadaver, they will nerf Yannica or the value of shield of Vault Keeper
@@gigasportst can the value of shield be even lower?
@@xeno6578it's 3% growth per buff extended on the target, so it maxes out at 30% increase. the Yannika team does ZERO damage until it grows the shields big enough, it probably takes 1+ hrs to setup the nuke.
@@xeno6578 Its Plarium we are talking about, they will find a way :D
I went for him , after much debate and saying no every video . I thought this guy better than sausage frog . And panda I think . I few other garbage ones . I decided at that point I’ll do him
He's not a frag fusion, so I'm left with a bunch of useless garbage if I happen to fail the fusion due to health reasons, like what happened with Armanz.
Also, I couldn't give a flying fuck about content as badly designed as Hydra Clash 😂
Wixwell will get nerfed or Yannica will.
