Corvus micro is crazy
Also after some further testing the base spirit didn't get affected by homeland buffs but it did work for its spells so that is good to know.

Honestly Corvus is good, but its not as good or reliable as geraldo.
I feel like the new map hints for the ice paragon
ice paragon??
pass on this hero needs a rework and too much micro for my tastes
bro spear is so good use it more
the challenges we can make with corvus micro will be endless
dear god advanced challenges are about to be impossible
The entry price of 7k might be an issue.
I just read corvus corona virus😢😢😢
@@Kemujanah
@@Kemuja if youre good enough at the game that you complete some insane challenges you probably have way more than 7k just laying around
It’d be really cool if they had hot keys for this: maybe like you hold shift down and press 1-9 and another 7 keys to trigger the abilties when needed
wha about mobile
@@landoncrews3401 jumping off a high cliff should do the trick
@@landoncrews3401mobile you can tap different areas faster with multiple fingers
Really just make abilities activate/toggle on click would half amount of micro lol
double tap to cast and dismiss too
Corvus feels like a full-time job, I think using him with other towers that need more micro and ability use could be overwhelming, especially with the wizard paragon (which I still don't understand)
He's more like a gimmick in co-op where one player used him while dumping all the money to other players.
Nah he's pretty easy to use well
He's even more micro intensive than Geraldo, but he is fun and very strong, imo. Especially if you give him a MIB. You basically need to keep his menu open most of the time and use the shortcut number keys on his harvest ability and ritual ability. He is a micro intensive skill cannon.

The Wizard paragon is very simple. You have 100k of power, each 1 ability uses all of the power at once creating zombie Bloons that attack normal Bloons and the other drains it slowly for a major beam boost. Both abilities get stronger the closer you are to 100k power and you get power by toggling on and off the power suction ability that shoots a smaller beam at the bloons to charge your power. It’s basically balancing 2 abilities most of the time and 3 if there are BAD bloons
Both ethan reid and ISAB posting 29:59 videos at the exact same time about the update is fire
Well they get the same early access and likely have contracts from the company about video requirements and when to post these specific update vids using early access. I wouldn't read too deep into it.
@@bimbonboon4360 I wonder if they actually had to make a video under 30mins, because if they did, they managed to not make it obvious
@@hubertpuchalski1822 nah they had to make a vid exactly 30 mins, its just that youtube removes 1-2 seconds from the video length counter when uploading
@@bimbonboon4360wdym? The update is already out for everyone.
@@bimbonboon4360the hero was out for everyone when this video came out I believe
Corvus has some big potential in making some really difficult levels, in which you have to pop the right amount of bloons to get enough mana to do something with the mana shield.
Overall a ton of potential in challenges with the variety of abilities
i will take the daily dose of Isab even at 1 am on a school day.
go to sleep it's not too late
It's never too late, do it. Go to sleep
Live in Australia
U live in South America?
Same
I like that they added heros that take more thought an micro than the normal place and forget ones
i would like some more place and forget ones again next
Agreed, but that's a bit much ...
Leaving him on the passive mana drinking spells while you just micro his abilities and deal with the rest of your defense may be strong enough, but using him efficiently sounds extremely micro intensive ...
@@gregoirebasseville4797nothing wrong with micro
@@boom5732 Micro is good, when you do it because you want to. Best case scenario is when both Mirco and non Micro strats are good because then you do it out of your own will rather than being forced.
@@kjellbeats NK said the next hero will be a simple one again
Something to note, the ancestral might, aka the big fist attack, absolutely obliterates moabs. Seems like it has a big damage bonus vs them so it's his main way of taking them down. A lot more efficiently than spamming the spirit's buffs it seems.
11:20 the only thing about the “copying” is that when a game gets really well established it can only “copy” things because there’s so much stuff in the game. If there were 10 towers each new tower would be totally unique but when there’s already hundreds of upgrades they’re going to overlap and that’s fine really. You just have to recognize that it’s a thing.
Plus, Geraldo and the tier 4 sentry engineer (plus the paragon, I guess) already copy several towers, so Corvus is nothing new in that regard.
Although one thing I'd like to add is that ISAB probably didn't mean this in a bad way but was moreso stating the facts.
@@YoshiAteTooManyYoshiCookies true I didn’t even take it in a bad way I also think he was just saying his thoughts in that way. I was just saying it’s almost impossible to not copy something once a game is developed and older.
Corvus is already my favorite hero in the game, the fact that he requires you constantly engaged and microing is genuinely such a nice change of pace from the usual heroes where you just put them down and forget about em (with the occasional ability usage here and there)
I played with Corvus earlier today and have some thoughts:
- Malevolence doesn't seem good because it disables a lot of his other abilities
- He is terrible against DDTs
- He is way too micro heavy for my taste. I just want to set a tower down and relax.
- His one punching move seems really bad because it disables most of his abilities and also attacks way too slowly with no way to disable it other than trance
- Storm doesn't work on leads, for some reason
- His explosion spell is really, really bad. It doesn't destroy children of blimps and isn't large enough to ever be worth using
> He is way too micro heavy for my taste. I just want to set a tower down and relax.
He is meant to be micro-intensive, hell even Ninja Kiwi said so. =p
The other points I mostly agreed with
Storm is actually says it shoots ENERGY not PLASMA so it cant hit leads, same with 1xx super monkey
wdym ancestral might and echo can take care of them
@@greg-un7bkis it just me or is NK making things really expensive all of a sudden. The map editor is 6,000 and they're releasing packs that cost even more monkey money. And Corvus is 7,000 monkey money even though he objectively isn't nearly as strong as Sauda.
malevolence is very good early game since it disables the spirit, making way more bloons enter the scythe radius so you can get a tom of mana fast AND deals with bloons wery well so you can rely on it before moabs come, making farming xp out of mana early game really easy
the challenges with corvus are gonna be crazy
Is it canon that the bloons have souls and can feel pain now
It's been canon
Davey McGunface is absolutely flooded with the amount of war crimes Corvus must be giving off and creating
The bosses have personalities and lives after work
i dont think they feel pain, and i think they just get inflated again after getting popped.
@@turqoisesnake2438makes sense, that's why when you make a new game they just come back.
A QOL update for Corvus would be to be able to double click to cast or stop a spell. I died in the tutorial a couple of times because i kept on forgetting that i needed to press the button at the bottom
All his abilities should activate/toggle on a single click imo.
@@smbsmw1111or they could be droppable like geraldo's rejuv potion
@@smbsmw1111 I digress with single click because you want players to be able to read the spells. Even if you say "well you can just learn the spells by heart" that's not a good way to go at it since there will always be new players. So I agree with double click
@@xelspeth I think people would be able to remember all his skills after a couple of games and he already has learning curve, so it's fine to show skill description after you activate it. After all, you don't get proper descriptions/tooltips for regular abilities too. Some kind of toggle that would turn on single click action would be fine too.
@@smbsmw1111most heroes have one, maybe 2 abilities. He has 16. That alone is enough to justify descriptions for each before activation
You should've tried the echo plus hands combo against the bad because it has good single target damage. Also a cool interaction is if you turn on the echo and then trample they will both go through the track and you can activate the explosion while in the trample form.
1:05 thanks ISAB for multiplying by 2 and getting an odd number
0.01*2**29 its a cent not a dollar and you and up with that amount of dollars
Since Corvus has the same graveyard type thing as the necromancers, it would be neat to see him get a buff from the tier 5 bottom path wizard
I was just messing around with Corvus on hard and found that with camo detection and help with purples he can solo up to round 80 on easier maps, though there were some spots where I'm pretty sure tanking lives was unavoidable.
Even though you should go for large chunks of bloons, it's still best to spam his level 3 ability since it'll give you a lot of mana every time and it has a fairly short cooldown.
I know some people aren’t a huge fan of this hero, but just going off of what I’m watching, personally I’m all for another hero that takes more skill then place and forget with the exception of occasional ability use. Corvus really looks like a micro fan’s dream as you can really squeeze a lot out of him if you learn how to properly use his spells, especially that mana shield, which would make ravine possible on chimps without using the damn sword provided he gets the spell in time. Just wish I could play with him, I’ve been playing on the Xbox version and I don’t have access to all of these fun toys *Cries*
btw the soul barrier's hp is based on the mana, caps at 400 but there's a level that makes the cap 800.
Corvus..... Corona virus..... wait a second
The best thing about this update is being able to do any boss on any map at anytime. No risk of being flagged for using mods anymore. This update is a certified hood classic
Corvus will probably be really good but I’m too smooth brained to use him.
cant wait to see you do a challange with it! i alr know im just gonna sit there and be completly lost trying to understand whatever your doing at that high paste
If you get a dollar, no matter how many time you double it, you will never get a odd number xD
He's right actually, it just isn't the whole number. 2^29 is 536870912 and the achievement is for 5368709(missing the 12) xp, just obviously with the last two numbers chopped off because half a billion xp would take ages.
It works with a penny and not a dollar. I think of the single grain of rice story more than the money one that is making its rounds online again.
just finished a 2tc with this spooky guy was a lot of fun tbh, made me realize you can use echo + ancestral might = 2 big slappy hands and makes it possible to destroy DDT's
Resort
Sub(5-2-0) - Upper right of water
Corvus
i feel like corvus looks really good for midgame saveup, he seems to fall off hard on moabs though
He doesn't fall off against MOAB's, it's just that ISAB didn't use ancestral might enough.
way to micro intensive for me i also think it needs a power boost for certain abilities such as overload being able to soak through layers, making the cooldown shorter for some abilities and increasing the power for most spells. it also DEFINETLY needs to be able to be buffed like the beast handler now is and it needs some qol especially when enabling and disabling spells
This hero is interesting. I can see a few of these spells being serious game changers in CHIMPS and several events
Goddamnit, I have the Netflix version, I’m dying inside
yo new vid I've been waiting for anything new. Thanks for making the great content! (Ima buy Corvus)
Thank you ISAB for walking the spirits with a new hero
love the vids isab keep up the good work
My worst fears realized. A micro hero. Dear god.
Look yall micro all you want. I just like to have a good base plan for my silly monke game without needing to have high APM.
Corvus is the jack of all trades but master of none
😂
Looks more like a 9 of all trades to me.
have you seen what people have been doing with him????? he basically solos till 60 on expert maps
op early game ass late game@@jake6542_
He really strong with the free dart monkey. I used little Definite and farmed very hard. This guy with a tech bot was really strong vs the bloons. I only use nourishment and I got to level 20 at round 101
One of the combos I think might work is Trample + Ember or Trample + Frost or both
these are some good interactions ive found
echo, aggression, storm, and spear
frostbound, repel, malevolence, and storm on a corner
frostbound, ember, echo, repel
I don't think it's "just" when to use the spells, but also good combos like for example the echo plus mini nuke, but als like the trample plus blade storm or on a map like resort where the bloons loop the same spot a few times in combination with the spell were the ghost gives him a damage aura
Most hero’s: are experienced military powers
Corvus: it’s wizard time mofo
They should revamp the whole hero ui. The main reason i hate to use micro is the way the ui blocks off the screen on either side. Why not make the ui of a hero permanent at the bottom instead of popping out when you click it. It is such a burden, and with this new hero, it's even worse. At least some kind of pin option so you can do other stuff as well as having whatever micro menu open without needing to have that specific target to use its spell or shop.
this will definitely be the best CHIMPS hero because the soul barrier works in chimps mode so it's like you have extra lives
I don’t think that is enough of a factor to make him the best chimps hero. I’d rather just have a hero that pops bloons or helps other towers pop bloons
@@1TieDye1 It's great though because you don't have to invest money into that incredible utility. If you base your build around other towers with Corvus running support, a mana-shield in CHIMPS is insane at least for certain maps
@@Killerabbet The whole point of CHIMPS is to not leak any bloons. If your defense in CHIMPS is so poor that bloons are getting to the exit, then using a different strategy is going to make a lot more sense than using Corvus. Especially since it's the first few rounds where leaks actually happen and he doesn't even have soul barrier then, and in the later rounds if Corvus saves you from leaking 56 then you're just going to die the next round on 57 when it's on cooldown because your defense wasn't actually working.
@@ArcadiaCvthat was the point but now you can do a strategy where you can loose lives
@@ArcadiaCv I'm sure on some maps or niche situations Corvus' ability to allow minor leaking could buy you time to save for or invest in other towers that are better for mid-late game, without having to buy defense that is useless later. That paired with his global range and many utilities would make him good for CHIMPS. That's just my assumptions though, not a pro or anything.
5,368,709 is about 2^29/100, or the amount of money you would make if you started out with one CENT, and doubled it every day for a month.
1+3 is insane cleanup with mana sustain and you can add 4 for more damage for a while. hero has a lot to discover still but that carried me through chimps
Thank you isab for releasing update 40 of btd6 🎉
1:04 That can't be it; 5,368,709 is an odd number, so you wouldn't be able to get it through doubling. I googled the number and found an Amazon link to a specific kind of door stop.
I really like how NK is having heading more interactive route with new towers and paragons.
Like geraldo, wiz paragon, and to lesser extent plane paragon and beast master
The hero only challenge for Corvus is gonna be crazy. With all his spells, the possibilities are endless. But for the early game, while the bloons are weak, i focused on using his mana for extra experience to save on upgrade costs. Any mana that isn’t going to use should be channeled to his experience since he easily requires more experience than any other hero.
Thank you ISAB for casting the spells
i love isab posting at midnight on a school night
the one time i dont check steam because im used to the 1st videos on these updates being on a preview build
One neat trick is that after using overload to explode the spirit you can use recover and instantly dismiss to get back the spirit much faster
I don’t really like the trend of heroes getting more and more complex. I‘d like to have some more simple heroes, since I‘m too lazy to micro all the time.
The new map is most definitely difficult, annoyingly difficult
Its good that they implemented a hero like this for the people who want it, but, this is just not for me. I play bloons for idle I don't do micro
Even for people that like micro it’s horribly bad, they are gonna change him a lot of times before he actually becomes fun and intuitive to use
Isab and Ethan's Corvus videos are exactly the same length at 29:59
crazy to think that boss challenges were originally a mod. Maybe NK are took some of the mods into consideration for the game
It's kinda fun how it can be short range and long range but still keep its powerful might
Can’t wait for boss challenges and I love the boss challenge system I can finally just play bloonarias on cubism
"This is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill"
Dreadbloon on screen:
Can't wait for all the new 2TC's available with Corvus, I'm eyeing WLP or Tech Terror
I wonder, what if you just activate the 4 on the top and don't use most of the rest? is it similar to gwen/quincy power level, more powerfull, less?
My thoughts on corvus:
Spear is ridiculously overpowered. Especially when paired with aggression and freeze, it’s obscenely strong. Storm is a gimmick and is not worth going for once you get access to ancestral might. Spear does better multi target than storm and ancestral does better single target than storm. Malevolence is useless, trample is almost always useless unless for some reason you don’t have spear and have to deal with a ceram rush or something. Nourishment is basically adora sacrifice but better, spam it as much as possible. The mana shield thing is useable in chimps which really isn’t as broken as you’d think, but it has some use cases like tanking early leads and camos to save up further, or saving yourself against stray super creams. Use case wise it’s actually pretty similar to Gerry spikes. Echo should really only be paired with ancestral might and when combining that with overload it can actually take down the bad layer faster than ezili 20. I don’t think it’s the best hero in the game but it’s probably s tier along with towers like brickell, Gerry, and adora
Edit: I can’t believe there are people who think this hero is bad bro like how bad at the game do you have to be to not see how insane this hero is 😭
1:00 Pretty sure it is 1 cent multipled by 2 every day for 30 days
As a mobile player and anti micro fan, Corvus looks like watching your friends play outside at recess when you’re stuck inside in detention.
was the use of 'it' for corvus at the start before the game used 'he' intentional? very cool of isab if so
29:04 The green hands on the bad are there because of one of corvuses abilities that allows him to haunt moab class baloons.
I had to play some story mode to unlock him, I didnt even know that mode was a thing. Also, I tried him, but I was too dumb to understand him properly
I wanna try out if soul barrier prevents Ezilis totem cost, that could at least make Ezili work in coop chimps
this was a very nutty isab video
this guy is a lot more fun than i expected him to be. glad he’s strong but can’t do it all i was worried early iterations would be beyond busted and like he’s strong but he definitely requires attention and strategy to be good
interesting how overload is basically just a mega mine that can be used everywhere but can't be stacked
Corvus really feels more like a support hero tbh- firstly, there's the extra lives, he can decamo , knockback, and freeze, he can do lots of moab damage with ancestral might, but he honestly doesn't do enough overall damage or any fast enough to solo stuff
As someone who hates micro, I found the micro with Corvus to be very manageable and I found him more fun and useful than other heros.
I think the main reason why people aren’t liking this tower is because the tutorial has Corvus solo, which is not easy to do. It’s best used alongside your regular towers like every other hero.
He’s Especially fun in COOP, I did the coop challenge where I used only Corvus, while my teammate used Book Wyrm and other towers while I just used Corvus and gave all of my gold to him to use however he/she wants. Allows you to play a support role in a more indirect way than Geraldo. Whenever you have a strong enough defense where Corvus doesn’t need to do anything, just sac the mana for hero XP. It’s great even to someone like me who hates intense micro.
The more I look at the name the more it seems like a shortened "Corona Virus"😂
ngl he seems like the best hero for chimps with his global range spirit, a lot of abilities for multiple situation and not having the problem like geraldo where you have to spend money on his shop which allows you to get extra towers. But defenetly very difficult to master good job nk
Corona virus looks super cool cant wait to try him!
One thing I wish was that after like level 10 the soul generation would speed up enough that you could keep a maximum of two spells (spear and blades for example) active at all times just from the passive generation. If you need to micro the "basic" attacks of an hero while also keeping an eye at the souls and replenish them with his abilities, it's a bit much. I still prefer Geraldo's utility over this.
1:05 Dude, it's an odd number
Just tried him out on the new map. His synergy with glue gunner is insane
thank you isab for casting spells
Very cool concept, but to me it’s just a bit too much. Like you said after finishing round 80, you need to use something - every - single - round. To incorporate other monkeys with their own abilities, you lose the advantage of having Corvus since his spirit isn’t very strong. You have to focus on him at all times to make him worth using. Without constantly employing his spells, he’s useless. Having to constantly jump between opening his tab, using spells, casting, dismissing, and then add to that activating any other monkey ability you have on screen is just wayyyyy too much.
NK really delivers as always some great updates
There is an endless amount of skins we can make with Corvus
The camo would've been better if it was a toggle like spear
It looks like it can more or less solo most of the earlier rounds, so I wonder how good it'll be for farming strats since you won't have to worry about spending money on damage towers
The new map is expert because every few rounds a blizzard comes and freezes a tower they can't attack you can't upgrade or sell them and I'm not sure if they keep range (ie. for sub intelligence or things of that nature) or any buffs that were on them, I'm pretty sure it lasts a round but might be two also BT can still get pops even if the engineer is frozen wasn't really paying attention to the sentries though
Honestly, corves spirit goofy ass movement to attack bloons is the highlight of this update
Are you gonna try an all pops or single tower challenge with Corvus? It sounds really interesting
Haste does seem to make storm slightly faster
This a very cool class right up my alley
Ok I don’t know if you say this in the video because I haven’t even started it but Corvus’ name is incredible. It directly translates to “body” Latin( my latin knowledge is falling off so it might just be corpse which would make more sense) If the Latin is any thing to go off he should be called “Corwus” ( I know it sounds funny but all V’s in Latin are pronounced like W’s)
body? doesn't it literally mean "raven" in latin?
the wiki is gonna be insane with this hero considering all the interactions with each of the spells. It's going to be such a satisfying hero to master
-corona virus hero-
I feel like the spells are just stacking and do their own thing and the rest just attack faster or double the amount of damage
Corvus is a great Early game hero, but does decent chip damage for late Game...
Sauda + Corvus, or even Striker Jones + Corvus would be quite the compelling duo.
Very cool Hero so far.
maybe see if ancestral might gets alch buffed, since it's sort of the tower itself
Can you double click spells to activate and deactivate them?
Still waiting for a flying hero
Rosalia
The extra power you can get without spending a single penny is gonna be so meta for the boss runs. You can save insane amounts with the corvus, I assume
The “can I copy your homework hero” 😂
Mate, you should probably use more of the single cost spells since they all seem to have high uptime
Isab saw corvus kill a group of zomgs in a few hits with echo hands and really said "that seems ok"
He seems strangley biased for echo overload, which kinda sucks, while being biased against the echo hands, which absolutely slaps (no pun intended)
