Saw a comment that in my opinion was right on the money. They said missed opportunity for a mythical champ by having Prince Adam one form and He-man the swapped form
@@desantinotafrancesco2639 As I said I guess because of the many memes out there pointing to his hairstyle, pink shirt and rainbow backgrounds. But it doesnt matter to me, the cartoon was cool.

Heman skill [I have the power] according to RAID video says the buff count includes buffs that are expired, active, or stolen buffs before he uses this skill. Not just active buffs.
Better yet, have it be like Conan O'Brians's chuck Norris lever. He'd occasionally have that next to him and he'd randomly pull it and a random clip from Walker Texas Ranger plays. Whenever Prince Adam/He Man transforms, a random clip from the show plays. 😂
Not all of us are content creators, having said that five star chickens are a very nice thing to be getting because we don't get them just handed to us monthly from Plarium
Well they must be. They destroyed hydra and are rolling with it regardless of the people who actually play it and what they think. What a way to ruin your own game .
The problem here isn't whether or not he's worth it, it's whether I'm willing to sacrifice my status as f2p. I'm not against spending money on the game, I just genuinely like seeing how far I can get without perks
After the sales have died,Plarium will secretly nerf a new champion.not pointing any fingers,but Plarium has become the masters of raising hopes & destroying dreams.
They won't nerf He-Man because only so many people can get him, much like Xena. If just anyone could summon He-Man indefinitely, he'd get nerfed for sure. But he's a licensed character, so that would be too expensive for Plarium.
@@WaiTu077 I need the whole cast. Good and evil and for God's sake man makes Mum Rah a mythical like He Man should have been Slith for lizard men Tigra with perfect veil Chetara as a speed champion like Arbiter Wily kit and Kat need team synergy I have more ideas tired of typing.
What would happen if u fight hydra, only use his a1 or a2 for like 10 turns..do the buffs have to be present or can u just buff him then they expire then buff him again to get to 500% dmg. Then use his a3
Immunity to petrifaction actually may have some use since the main way of dealing with stoneskin is bombs, and many players have mithrala with their stoneskin teams to cleanse away those bombs, so He-man can sub in for those situations.
This att scale is kind of his strength, he will be greatly improved by blessing like rotos when he get hp and atq from 1 and 2 star , i guess if u build him hybrid like rotos after the 50% scale he can reach a crazy lvl of hp , plus his swlf strength when's get low , idk . I think we dont see his full potential yet
What makes this extra funny is I just re-watched the old Dolph Lundgren B-movie He-man over the weekend. Edit: "I have the power!" totally should have been the buff.
Im just glad he's one man champ instead of a Couple Champ with She-Ra. The consistent Strengthen buff great. PS: Good vs Corrupted faction? Ignores Stoneskin? Good bye UDK
I like how all of the content creators said they're doing us a favor by purchasing this champion so they could build them out and test them for us. 😂 Thanks?
First time Plarium have made a one time IP champion that's good in Arena for the Krakens only. They've stooped to a new low, every other champion they've done this to has been fine as they've been limited to pve content or given players an avenue to own them for free (though sometimes so resource intensive they've barely been completed). If you don't spend £40 on this guy now he will never be seen in game again. They've now given someone who ignores stone skin and hits as hard as anybody in the game to only the 1%.
Unless you're entirely f2p most ppl will buy this champion if he's good enough, idk where you got the 1% from as when u do the math he's cheaper than trying to get another champion. He won't he oppressive, he doesn't block revive or do anything crazy like harima, narses, monkey etc. The world will keep spinning
I don't know why they rated him a 3 out of 5. I have him maxed except the perfect soul with 6 star savage/cruel gear no masteries yet and omg he hits so HARD. He knocks out many players in the arena lol. Can't wait to see what skeletor is about. I'm a low spender but thought he man was worth the spending. 🤷🏻♂️ I put the mythical speed set that comes with he-man on wukong and he's already killing it too. It was a win win. 😊
They only messed up ine key feature and that is that Heman never used a shield he uses a greatsword which he needs both hands to swing it effectively I think Plarium Devs have a huge thing for shields.
best bang for your buck. 40$ for a legendary champion thats pretty good is an amazing deal in raid. Usually you get nothing with that money. Imagine you spent 40$ on sacreds, that's like 3 sacreds maximum. And you would likely only get epics out of them. ANd even if its a legendary it likely would be a trash one. SO 40$ for he-man is a steal!
I wouldn't recommend yes or no as you would know your account better than anyone. I would just advise that you be aware of the great trap of Raid. That would be giving you a wider assortment of champs to spread your resources thin over and then frustrate you when they aren't providing the result you wanted right away because the CCs and whale class lead you to believe that you will be able to do all these amazing things. This can lead you to spend more money than you had intended.
To me it reads like for every buff placed on him even if it falls off. So something similar to the Yannika hydra team where you build loads of buffs up and then one huge smack?
He-Man should be a mythological with the first form being the skinny prince Adam and the 2nd form being He-Man. But overall I like the look of him, brings me back to Saturday morning cartoons.
I wonder if the reason they said stacks to 500% is because it keeps them stacking from round 1 all the way through to the boss even if the buffs expire they count.. will you test that for us
For me he falls under the same category as someone like Georgid where he can crank damage but with no in built survivability in his kit I don’t think you’re going to be seeing him in any arena meta atleast at the top end of arena. This is what separates your siegfrunds, Harima, narses, and taras’ from your nukers like this as far as pvp goes
Love the theme, i am buying He-Man. But man what a miss oportunity, he could of been a perfect Mythical champion, cause he literally has two forms, Adam and He-Man. He will strong enough fir mt account. But my fav of the two champion it is Skeletor.
You must be a single virgin with no kids and living in your mom's basement to be spending that much money in a game notorious for bleeding its players dry
He man is cool and all, sad only two champs. BUT THE REAL QUESTION, RAID! Where the hell are the hounds you told us to watch out for that are supposed to be coming soon. Just gonna help you out with a few potential hounds; Cerberus, white fang, ahuizoti (super cool water themed Aztec mythology), Anubis, or, wait for it, Pokémon collab, Entei, Raikou, Suicune…just give us something already
Sadly, the saddest thing. A lot of players feel like they are going to be forced to buy him. Myself included. Just because we need so much help in the Arenas. (Especially Tag) Not only for how strong he is. But also because we will be faced against him and other Kraken teams that make it so much of a nightmare already.
Does anyone know how to switch paying currency in the game? I tried in settings but my location is locked so can't change it but saw people from my country having prices in USD
Who will they choose next, the Care Bears or My Little Pony? These people are in need of some real creativity skills. They only care about their money and not your gaming experience.
I think it's 50% and not 500% they made a mistake. NVM the He man Video Raid confirm the 500% and it said you need 2 wait for the full effect. so no auto on him
"At what point are you gonna wait for fifty buffs to use this skill?" Wrong question, HH. People took Wixwell's shield and stacked it, and stacked it. Finally, to have Yannica do her thing. Someone is going to do it. The real question is, did Raid test the power out before releasing the champ? Because if they didn't, and He-Man ends up wrecking their plans for the new clan boss, can they turn around and nerf the skill?
Ur the guy i go to to watch content bro. Just putting it out there. Plarium kinda messed this up. He-man should have been a Mythical. The man transforms lol. but the entire community would have had a chance to buy a Mythical. Missed opportunity.
I love how most CCs say that there doing it for us 😅😅😅 I'm a filthy degenerate spender myself and I can't not / no/will not wait to play with a champion I haven't played with since I was 5😅 now all grown up and ready to play with them all over again
I don’t like the idea of the $59.99 price point in a vacuum, however if he was a guaranteed champion he would be 20 sacred shards and you were short four or so shards, no one would complain about spending $69 to $79 dollars to get him because you could possibly pull a second legendary but not guaranteed to get a second legendary champion. Basically Both He-Man and Xena were the price of two sacred shards at the cheapest or three in order to get him right away. Sorry for the breakdown of details but logic is he is cheaper than doing a tournament or deck of fate! In short, the players who are crying about this are usually the people who cry about everything else in the game. Now I would like to see a free to play path for champions like this even if the path was twice as long with less rewards along the way. Then he would be available for everyone but you would have to grind harder than the pay to play players!

So that’s the way to get 50 buffs?
Seer synergy unlocked
i think it can work well in hydra ....
Seems obvious expired buffs count, how else would be get to 50 when the max at any time is 10.
He-Man should have been mythical. Start with Prince Adam and transform into He-Man during the fight. Have a little cut scene when he transforms.
Better yet, have it be like Conan O'Brians's chuck Norris lever.
He'd occasionally have that next to him and he'd randomly pull it and a random clip from Walker Texas Ranger plays.
Whenever Prince Adam/He Man transforms, a random clip from the show plays. 😂
Very random I know, but I wish there was a visual indicator for when helmsmasher works
i've thought about that before
Pay for He-Man, get Adam.
U need to unlock his mithical form by use the power of greyskull and he will be hit like a nephelim and tank like a taras. Just wait for it
I’m thinking Harrier might actually be Adam in disguise 😂
Capper FTW!
wanted to see a test where you kepp buffing in a boss till the max 500% and then use A3 to see the max dmg and the possibility to 1hit KO

Empowerment for Skeletor is Teodor? Are they on drugs??

Who empowers He-Man? I'm at work and can't hear the video, just here to read comments :P

$40 is Kraken now? 🤣
Idiots the 1% is players sinking money into the game though I would say now it's probably like 20% with the mass exodus from this shit game
Maybe it’s not actual buffs on him and active at the moment but a tally of all the buffs that have been placed on him overtime
How stackable is his increase in attack with the Heavencast blessing? Will they produce a monster?
I love the thumbnail lol

Nearly everyone has a Sun Wukong so it's going to difficult to stack those extra buffs in arena because nearly every team uses the monkey.
does his buff dmg stack in like hydra ?
it is not the new clanboss something to do with the corrupt function ?

Okay thanks
the stoneskin blocked gurptuk's poisons so he didn't get extra damage from him

Do you not get access to him on the test server?
So does his damage come from a combination of attack and HP or does it scale off the one that gives the most damage?

The real question is, did Raid test the power out before releasing the champ?

This guy should be a mythic Champion. Prince Adam in base form as a... let's say offensive support champ and alternate form should be He-Man as a DD.
I love how most CCs say that there doing it for us 😅😅😅 I'm a filthy degenerate spender myself and I can't not / no/will not wait to play with a champion I haven't played with since I was 5😅 now all grown up and ready to play with them all over again
So his A3 is kind of like a final shot because you wait many rounds until you have had 50 buffs put on over time then nuke.
Best thumb nail of 2024 😂🤣
I don’t like the idea of the $59.99 price point in a vacuum, however if he was a guaranteed champion he would be 20 sacred shards and you were short four or so shards, no one would complain about spending $69 to $79 dollars to get him because you could possibly pull a second legendary but not guaranteed to get a second legendary champion.
