Decided not to fuse Mother Cybele and keep Epics like Magnarr & Conellia

I was well on track to fuse Mother Cybele, but based on the research that I did and discussions which I started on Reddit I made the decision not to fuse her and keep all the Epics especially Magnarr and Conellia.

The people who argue for Mother Cybele say:

  • Players who are at the end of the game and have everything or most things. For such players there is little interest in the Epics. This is a very valid point but a lot of the players, including myself, are far from end game.
  • Players who believe that Mother Cybele is made for the not-yet-released Doom Tower rotation. There is zero evidence of this. This is pure hope and there is no precedent in history of Plarium having such planning.
  • Players who believe that many months or year(s) later Plarium will buff Mother Cybele and make her really strong. This belongs in the "prayer" category.
  • Players who believe that you should get the legendary champion if you can because they are difficult to get. Yes, legos are hard to get, but don't forget there are 50+ useless legos out there that nobody uses, so just because something is legendary does not mean it's great.

The arguments for not fusing:

  • Magnarr is an amazing HP based Epic with powerful stats at the same level as the legendary Queen of Arena Trunda. In some situations he can do even more damage than her and Murderinc has called Trunda dead - not saying you must agree with him, but all the evidence points to him being a great and immediately useful champion.
  • Conellia is another amazing champion. She has very interesting healing and turn cutting mechanics and can put the whole enemy team to sleep. I posted already on this blog how fantastic she is for the Doom Tower's Nether Spider by sleeping all the little spiderlings. This champion also is immediately usable.
  • Tolf and Jurojin are a bonus. They can be interesting on specific players' accounts. Tolf has an interesting ability to cut all the enemy shields in half. He also has an ability to drop an enemy to 50% of it's life, which could be great to use on tough enemies cutting them in half in 1 hit.
  • In the Rares the Hellfreaks are interesting. They have a rare ability to swap HP with the enemy. The skill is not working properly right now but I assume it will be fixed. The interesting thing is that they can swap and immediately get another turn. There might be some interesting uses for this champion.

So as stated, I decided not to fuse Mother Cybele on hopes and prayers and put her in the vault until some use appears for her. For my account which is advanced but not end game all the other champions will contribute significantly more and bring me more rewards than 1 Mother Cybele.
