[Discussion] Witch, Matilda's Sixth Class

It reads to me that it heals Matilda for 15% of the damage that the afflicted enemy deals with its own attacks.

This class could be useful as a tank if combined with Blue’s Rogues because of the hp boost.

Hp/attack boost seems like a handy move (it says target ally, so single target), but overall, the class seems a little underwhelming. I was hoping for a multi-strike class to efficiently utilize the Nightmare set.

I just battled the Vampire in the Arena from a computer generated opponent and got some info.

She appears to have the same damage value as Bard. She did slightly over 1000 damage and was level 43 and mastery rank 9 with the Doom set item.

Her attack ability does infact apply a debuff to a single target. Every turn it drains the birds health equivalent to 15% of her damage. It lasts 3 turns.

Also her side ability gives a 20% damage and health buff to a single bird.

So this Matilda can only heal herself? This class is powerful with Avenger or Rogues, but very hard to control without them.

I’d stick with rogues. Avenger is such a weak class.

Maybe witch, rogues, cannoneer?

Last night I got this special offer when I got 10 pumpkins:

Anyone else got the Witch class offered for 220LC?
Naturally I haven’t bought it since I want it for free :)

Hmm, can the Witch add 20% health to the banner? That would be about +3500 health… insane!

I can see Witch getting nerfed to oblivion already (or atleast, tweak the interaction with the banner health) but then again, after the venom teams falling off due to Chuck’s new set items, I can see why they would give Matilda a new class more Arena-oriented to be competitive again… because, let’s be honest here, Matilda outside of Venom (or Stun) combos, is kinda useless there nowadays…

I came up against on in a battle that was not a computer generated player. It was they were level 50 and the Witch was already level 12 approx. 16hours after the Halloween event started. Did 1500+ damaged and absolutely destroyed my birds. Players name was Spy-Spy. I recommend to avoid.

So the 15% damage/heal is that the same as the Spies “Glee” ability? So if you attack with Matilda and then attacked with your other birds, the enemy affected by the Witch’s attack would take 15% of the damage that was dealt that round? (and Matilda also healed by that same amount)

Agreed that it’s definitely a more offensive oriented class for Matilda (witch she desperately needed). She doesn’t have a heal, more of a shield by giving another bird +20% health. My question then becomes, what if you reuse it on the same bird and what happens when it wears off?

A strong combo I see with her is with the Beserker, increasing the health of a bird makes his Whirlwind a lot stronger. I’m thinking of combining Witch/Berserker/Skulkers and seeing how much damage they can do. Maybe another combination that can help handle the “Knock 3 birds out with 1 attack” Arena quest.

Is this class really worth 275 lcs?

I have tried her out. Not in the Arena but in cave 17. Not that impressed really. She is Ok but in my mind Matiida is supposed to be a healer. She is powerful enough so perhaps she is better suited to the Arena.
