Gaia Or Hades

[Zorich]

hmm....your theory is to spend all ur limited resources to boost AQ more until we get evolution and then switch to hades and then try to somehow upgrade it with mahra and sepulchrums that you didn't save up since they were spent on AQ while waiting for evolution.

Then there are the long term planner theory which is to spend more to get it now (may not cost much if u have luck since the 39 balen chest has chance to drop the same thing which u need 480 event pieces to exchange for), save $$$ till evolution by not spending and just using limited resources to get mahra n sepulchrum to strengthen their hades. Once evolution is unlocked, they'll have a strong hades vs converters with weak hades and evolved hades will be staying around for a long time after that.

Just cause you want to win in the 6 - 8 mths as u mentioned, u'll choose to forgo your winnings and move to the bottom of the ladder until u get bored of losing and quit or spend more to overcome the weakness. But of course, there's also no guarantee u'll even be playing this game 8 months from now. So in fact, it all depends on what kind of player and situation u find urself in. If you want to spend less and tend to stay long term in a game, there's no harm in trying ur luck with a few chests now to get it cheap and if you didn't get it, hope a future event will drop it for cheaper. Then spend all ur limited resources on hades (unless u plan to stick with AQ all the way). If ur the short term player, just stick with AQ. Its 100% cheaper and u'll be winning till u quit.

If you've noticed, Mahra and Sepulcrum are getting easier to come by. I have yet to spend any balens towards Mahra or Sepulcrum, and I've got two Purple Pets (Apollo, AQ), a 4-Star Blue (Iris) and two 3-Star Blue (Pan & Gaia). When Hades comes out at a reasonable cost / effort, I'll get it - not before.

The point I was making though is that AQ, even evolved AQ, is stronger in a CW format than it's Hades countrerpart. Yes, Hades will have a higher BR, but it's skills aren't good enough so that the BR advantage can make it up.

he didnt mention aegis skill.

you made me confused

He made mention of Hades being better because it heals itself and Amazon doesn't. Hades is only capable of healing itself after evolution, and what the posted I was replying to misses is that the Amazon has the same power to self-heal, only with a better secondary effect after evolution.

I will rate Heades if i dont get it for free even if them make SC exchange possibol like Apollo i should never pay 480 events itmes for heades when Gaia is more that engouts.

IF i should get any box for free and get it problie will be one some help my Apollo in Sylph Arena only.
Is no sylph i should use to fight me like i do me my Gaia or Iris.

I didn't say mahra and sepulchrums were hard to come by. I said they're limited resources being that its something we can't get in sufficient amounts to max our sylph grade and aptitudes without special means such as spending huge amounts of balens. If one plays long enough, they'll be able to max their sylph enchant and upgrade it to orange. But that'll take a long time. So if you start on it later, you'll end up max it later compared to others who started earlier than u. Chances are they won't wait for u to start working on ur pet or even wait for u to catch up. And who cares about CW which is only once a month. Surely you aren't going to decide something is better just cause it performs better in minority of the events and performs worse in majority of the events.

Like what I mentioned in my last paragraph, it is advisable to get things earlier (but not necessary when they first come out if there is a chance to get it for a cheaper or reasonable price) and start working on them. Once you've fallen behind, its hard to catch up without having to spend more $$$. Also, the things you work on depends on your situation too since if you're a short term player, no sense in working on a pet which u only can see the results of after a yr by which time you won't even be playing anymore. Furthermore, hades skill is better in PVE and PVP when battle guardians come out. With resists, most sylphs won't be as painful as they are now in PVP, but the effectiveness of hade's DoTs does not diminish much, hence one just needs to last long enough to awaken and slap a few curses on the enemy to bleed out their hp. Not to mention the chaos effect helps u make the enemies target their allies which is the same as dodging their dmg.

Look at the CN version and say again. There a reason why gaia and hades are the most used sylphs in the game.

Mages use Cerebus in CW even in CN, check out videos from sq 91 wan(on the bottom right of the website)
