Introduction
In the latest Hero Wars Alliance update, three powerful heroes – Isaac, Julius, and Xe'Sha – have received new Dark Depths skins, adding exciting dynamics to the game. These skins not only enhance the stats of the heroes but also improve their synergies with other team members, making them even more formidable in battles. Here’s a breakdown of each skin’s impact on the heroes.
Isaac Dark Depths Skin+ Review
Stats: Crit Hit Chance +2960 (base), +5920 with Skin+
The Dark Depths Skin+ for Isaac introduces a powerful boost to his critical hit chance, doubling his original 2960 crit chance to a staggering 5920. However, to unlock the Skin+, players must first purchase the standard Dark Depths skin during the event offer and then earn the Skin+ using event currency by completing missions.
The key benefit of Isaac’s Skin+ is its addition of crit hit chance, which enhances Isaac’s first ability, Tes'Lin's Overdrive, allowing for critical damage. When paired with his trusted ally Julius, the synergy is remarkable. Julius’ weapon artifact increases the crit hit chance for the entire team, further boosting Isaac’s potential by up to an additional 8898 crit hit chance.
Isaac's synergy with other heroes such as Astrid (with the Talisman of Ordeals), Ginger, and Lara makes him a valuable asset to teams focusing on physical damage. This Skin+ significantly bolsters Isaac’s ability to deal critical hits, although prioritizing the right skins for Isaac is essential to maximize his potential. Here is the recommended priority order for his skins:
Isaac's Skin Priorities:
- Physical Attack
- Agility
- Health
- Armor
- Crit Hit Chance (Skin+)
While Isaac’s Dark Depths Skin+ greatly enhances his damage output, it may not be a top priority as Isaac serves more as a support shooter for Progress allies like Lara Croft, Ginger, and Astrid. Nevertheless, for teams built around crit damage, the Skin+ can be a game-changer.
Julius Dark Depths Skin Review
Stats: Physical Attack +7095
Julius benefits greatly from the Dark Depths skin, which provides him with an additional 7095 physical attack points. This improvement enhances not only his damage output but also his core abilities, as Julius’ skills scale with physical attack, affecting both his healing and shielding capabilities.
The increase in physical attack also boosts Julius' armor and magic defense bonuses to his allies, making him even more effective as a tank in combat. This synergy makes him a great team hero, providing more substantial shields and better support for his team members, especially in battles where Julius’ defensive capabilities are crucial.
Julius's Skin Priorities:
- Health (Skin+)
- Strength
- Physical Attack (Dark Depths)
- Magic Defense
- Crit Hit Chance
The Dark Depths skin for Julius is highly valuable for increasing his defensive and supportive abilities. Players should prioritize his health skin first to maximize his tankiness, but the physical attack skin should come soon after to enhance his overall utility and effectiveness in battle.
Xe'Sha Dark Depths Skin Review
Stats: Health +106,645
The Dark Depths skin for Xe'Sha offers a massive health boost of 106,645 points. Although this does not directly improve her abilities, the increase in survivability makes her significantly more durable in combat. This skin becomes particularly important in battles against Hydras and other high-damage enemies where staying alive is critical for success.
As a mage, Xe'Sha benefits from her allies' sacrifices, increasing her magic attack as long as she remains on the battlefield. With the additional health provided by the Dark Depths skin, Xe'Sha can stay alive longer, allowing her to continuously ramp up her magic damage output.
Xe'Sha's Skin Priorities:
- Magic Penetration
- Intelligence
- Magic Attack (Super Skin)
- Health (Dark Depths)
- Armor (Medium Priority)
Xe'Sha’s Dark Depths skin is a must-have for players looking to maximize her survivability and ensure she can unleash her full magic potential. While her primary focus should remain on increasing her magic damage, the health boost from this skin is invaluable in ensuring she remains a powerful force on the battlefield for extended periods.
Conclusion
The new Dark Depths skins for Isaac, Julius, and Xe'Sha bring exciting enhancements to Hero Wars Alliance, making each of these heroes even more potent in their respective roles. Isaac becomes a crit machine when paired with Julius, Julius bolsters his tank and support capabilities with improved physical attack, and Xe'Sha gains much-needed survivability in the toughest battles. Prioritizing the right skins will allow players to fully capitalize on these powerful additions to their teams.
