    While I am shocked that Deacon made it to the final, I have thoroughly loved the series. I think the bias towards Deacon by Colred has swayed the voting, but that is no difference than sports brackets and sorts analysts. Great job guys and thank-you for something fresh.

      @richardbruce658 Thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed the series. We've certainly had fun making it. I will say, I actually now think Deacon is even more valuable than I did when we started the series. He was already my favorite epic, but now I am utterly convinced he's the best epic in the game. I don't think the channel bias towards Deacon will likely be enough though - the community bias towards Geo has been too well entrenched for too long for me to overcome alone. But maybe I've made some headway. I hope so.

    I recently got Geomancer myself, And I use him a lot in Arena, classic and team Arena. He is a good answer to UDK. Put the HP-burn on him and let his team kill his own UDK. Which usually can be anoying is now really fun :)
    Also wanna add. My favorite is both of the finalist, I really love both Rector and Stag Knight aswell, but I would say Deacon is probobly the winner for me, but Geomancer is the one I have least experience with, and havent dissapointed me so far. So whoever wins I do 100% agree with that decision. (I did miss this event for some reason so I couldnt vote) :)

    Great analysis by both of you and well reasoned, and argued. I know you may not believe me, but I'm so glad that this is the final. I unfortunately miss clicked Demytha in the last round while swinging my mouse back and forth and was not able to revote, which I lamented in the live stream later that day, so I'm so very happy Deacon made it through, even if it cost me points in the comp. This was absolutely the final I wanted to see, but I did honestly think it would be GSA, and Geo. My choice was head over heart, and heart lost the battle of hope over pragmatism, but won anyway, so nothing pleases me more.
    I will say that the only thing that holds Deacon back is the one thing that was not mentioned. Affinity... Affinity issues that Deacon has with landing his defence down on magic champs is something Geo's passive does NOT suffer from as he PLACES his hp burn so no weak hit. It really does not matter who, or what affinity Geo faces, his job gets done anyway everywhere, whereas, Deacon is often swapped out for someone like Dhukk the Pierced (if you have him) when facing magic affinity. That, imo, is what will bring Geo over the line in this battle of the giants in epic shoes. The fact Geo just works wherever you take him, from every dungeon except Phantom Shogun, to arena, to Hydra, placing his burn through poison cloud even, to DT bosses of ALL affinities... Unfortunately, Deacon doesn't do well against anything blue, anywhere, nor can he land through poison cloud in hydra.
    No surprise I'm going for Geo, but I'll not be salty if Deacon wins, he deserves to be in the final, and anything can happen in a final.

    • @ColredPlaysRSL
      @ColredPlaysRSL 6 месяцев назад +1

      @Dharin. That's an interesting point about Geo's passive. I guess I would counter and say that both Deacon's speed aura and his Turn Meter fill are unaffected by affinity as well. Likewise, in order for Geo's passive to work, his HP burn needs to land first, and that IS affected by affinity. It doesn't seem to me that Geo is somehow more affinity friendly than Deacon. I might argue the opposite. I certainly don't take my Deacon out of teams against Magic affinity enemies most of the time. He does just fine.
      Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you're enjoying the debate. Should be a fun finals!

      @antpal2001 6 месяцев назад

      ​@@ColredPlaysRSL I don't think the comment was about Geo's passive, I believe he was speaking about Geo's A3 skill. It's a PLACE burn and weaken, not predicated on a hit. There's an acc check, but no chance of a weak hit, which does help Geo still do his job regardless of opposite affinities. Even the A2 does the buff strip/steal before the hit, so that's unaffected by affinity as well. Geo may be force affinity, but in many respects he functions as a void champ, and according to the community pushing him into the finals I think that's reflected in his standing in the tournament too.

    pretty happy that the overall raid community agrees that geomancer is the best epic in the game.
    while deacon gives you great turnmeter control, leech, 2 turn aoe dec. def. and an speed aura, which makes him almost viable everywhere.
    geomancer just hardcarries every difficult part of the game, where the answers you have (especially early) are slim:
    spider: turnmeter, burn, weaken, aoe, passive, if needed stun set
    fk: turnmeter, burn, weaken, passive, waves with stunset
    ice golem: burn, weaken, passive, waves with stunset
    dragon: burn, weaken, passive , waves with stunset
    keeps: good
    sand devil: pretty good
    irontwins: completly solves irontwins, which alot of people even struggle to start with
    doomtower answer for: dark fae, bommal, frost spider, scarab king, nether spider, waves with stunset
    demon lord: easy UNM
    hydra: pretty good, especially early for fragments
    faction wars: pretty good, if needed stun set
    arena: also fine
    cursed city: pretty good, if needed stun set
    Might probably be the most valueable champion in the whole game until you reach late late game
    (obviously late late accounts can clear everything faster without geo, but geo is like 10 champs in 1)
    Deacon definitely has a little bit of a popularity boost because most people got him and maybe are sad about not having geo, but the outcome should be pretty clear.
    No Debate.

    I wish I had known enough about the game to use a deacon code early. That being said I didn't get him until ~9 or 10 months in and 3 months later i still havent built him. I just got him so late and he's not a great specialist. Even ftp I don't dont know if he has significant value over replacement. One of my first 5* souls was Suiren, so I maxed her as a CB dps as soon as I figured out an unkillable team. And obviously I had Arbiter as my arena TM booster. Deacon could be usable if i wanted to make a 2nd speed team for TTA? But I've also had a Sachi (inc att+ bigger tm boost with no risk of sheep on the a3) that I took to 60 shortly before getting deacon. Once i get my hard dungeon teams+third hydra team down I'm sure ill max him for faster FW and Sintranos if nothing else.
    Geo was one of my first 5 epics so i probably overvalue him, but he's both a great generalist (he's been on my FK 20 team and Spider/Dragon 20 duo teams since i started farming them consistently, was also key for helping me get to g5 arena) AND specialist. For example, i just built a second, higher acc geo as an Iron Twins specialist (my first geo is high crit dmg low speed for an unkillable team). And there's STILL a reasonable chance I build a third that's either super fast or high res for arena. I will say I recently pulled a 2nd coldheart so he MIGHT get phased out of my FK 20 team if i get around to building her.

    • @ColredPlaysRSL
      @ColredPlaysRSL 6 месяцев назад +2

      @peterbrown8455 The value you get out of any champion is going to be largely influenced by when you pull that champion. Either one of these champs would provide insane value during the first 6 months of an account. Eventually, they both slowly drop off but continue to be usable in late-game. If you prefer Geo, because that's the champion you know, then I totally support that vote. However, I would also say that Deacon would still provide you with good value where you are today on your account. Not that he's necessary. And you may prefer other champions. But I'm at end game, I've got 102 six-star champions at this point, and Deacon is still one of my top-5 most used champions. He's that good. Thanks for the comment!
