Thank you for doing this analysis. It actually proves why she was used so often. I don't have her but I've watched how the "death of a thousand cuts" applies to Bera and Freya. Slow, yes, fun to watch most definitely.
Milodemoray, thank you for the comment. Bera came out roughly around the same time that Freya did and Freya was my go to until I saw the stats piling up. There was no denying it after that Bera was ever so slightly the better choice. I reallized this after examining undead horde and equalizer wars where most people used to bring minions. Nowadays, people have had time and options to gather minion killers where her usefulness has declined. I thought perhaps with the new mega minions coming out that she would again become useful but apparently, and sadly, this isn't the case as mega minions play by a different set of rules. Glad you took the time to write, all the best. Ssnake
Great information and very helpful! I use Bera all time on my war defenses. I have limited roster and not as diverse as a lot of other players. But I run Bera with Mother North, Santa Costume and Mr. Pengi. So my defense usually does okay with her as big factor forsure. Keep up the great content Snnake Pit, appreciate your hard work!
Thanks Vince! The Christmas connection is still a good lineup, even after the nerf. I also don't have every hero on my wish list but we make due with what we have. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.
Early on, Bera and Freya along with Prof L. and Sif formed the base of my raiding and Defense. And although I'd get a kick out of watching her and Freya chip away at the health of my opponents, it always felt too slow of a process and I'd wish I'd brought along a sniper or two instead of them. But, man, it certainly surprised me to see how well she does in all categories and at in all positions. As always, thanks for putting in the work, it's much appreciated and I look forward to your finding on Freya.
Thanks for stopping in again Abehjha, hope all is well! I agree, it is a slow chip away with minion heroes. I really believe their main value is in boosting defense by providing allies with synthetic HP, and in Bera's case, also keeping opponents from doing the same.
Great info on Bera. Good to know where she can be effective and where not to use her. I use her quite often as a tank especially against yellow titans. Keep the good work.
Thanks for your input and continued work. Wish you had more frequent uploads tho. I feel like you're a resource that I don't want to share (sorry) because you're giving me a leg up. Thanks!
Thanks Mike! I have plans to speed this all up. It's been tough lately to get new videos out with life getting in the way and still taking the time to work on version 2. I'll be compiling multiple heroes into each video to get the info out quicker so I can complete my analysis of mana speed and other types of heroes other than healers for certain war types. I'm also thinking of starting some live streams where people can shoot the breeze with me about War Defense and ask questions about heroes that I haven't released yet. Cheers and thanks for watching!
Dear Ssnake : Thanks for the Video....as always very pertinent info which is helpful. - Though, seeing Bera getting knocked off as my tank very regularly has made me re-consider her usage by me bcoz, many other teammates have moved to non-Bera tanks, which enables Skadi / other anti-minion heroes to come to play. - After first soul exchange, I am sure that MANY players now have a Skadi, a popular choice in that SE. Hence the few Bera tanks can be taken out as a team-strategy using the 30 Skids that alliances these days have ! However, if the whole alliance decides to used Bera as a tank, that changes the dynamic... I hope you are enjoying MoNo ! Cheers & good day.
Great point about Skadi, although I'm not sure she can kill a Bera minion outright if there are 5 heroes up. Might be worth testing to be sure. Either way, it will be interesting to see if Bera can maintain a high success rate when version 2 wraps up. I suspect with the growing number of anti-minion heroes, it will drop. How far, we won't know for a bit. Love hearing your views dansing, be well!
@@ssnakepitgaming : Skadi is mostly right flank & hence fires 2nd …. Many times after FriGG or some other hero = Bera minions have become weak….so they pop. But that is not the real problem…. It is Skadi’s stack that is painful… & will almost all rosters of top 200 alliances having Skadi…. Bera is getting defeated more… Though I would love to see your new analysis report on Bera after few months…. To see if I m accurate. Coz I m seeing my Bera tank defence getting one shot more often than earlier. Of there r other heroes like AleX & few cases minion killers too play a role…
I'd be curious to see you return to overall war defense, but maybe focusing on kind-of-hero-at-tank, like how did healers at tank do vs. counterattackers, taunters, etc.? Just an idea, but I think the overview videos would end up being more useful to a broader population than the videos featuring 5* heroes that even higher-level players won't necessarily have. All of us have a tank, though 😅
Funny you mention that Eric. I've come to realize that doing every individual hero will take forever. I'm speeding up the process from here on out. I'll be doing blocks of individual heroes per video such as S1, S2, S3, event heroes, HOTM by years, frequently used 4*s, etc. This way I can get the info out faster, cover mostly everyone's heroes, and they can just pick through the vids for who they want. The downside is I will not be able to offer in-depth analysis for the sake of time as I will just flash through the numbers, but on the bright side, it will clear this off my plate very quickly and I can get back to the kinds of projects you are talking about. I've got 2 started already but have yet to finish them. It has been tough to find time between individual heroes, recording data for version 2, and life in general. Thanks for the input, we are on the same wavelength. Cheers Eric!
Bera and Grimble are both minion counters and available in April 2023 Fated Summons. Do you think Bera is a better choice if you don't have another good minion counter? I only have Gobbler!!
She's a great choice, she'll also do well against minion makers like water pipe... If you take grimble against water pipe, he'll be useless. Waterpipes minions reduce mana and won't allow grimble to fire... Bera is fast speed so could shut down water pipe
Sorry for the late response, who did you pick? I think they both have their places in minion control. It is a shame that neither will be useful against mega minions when the game eventually drops those on our laps.
Nice video on Bera ..... Just got her today at Fated Summon
