Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)
Prior to this event starting I believe several people voiced a "hope" of events not coming too fast. However, given the length of this one, and from what I saw even those who struggled with it at first, the vast majority completed with in a week just on what I saw here in the forums. Obviously there were two maps that gave anyone with lower teams difficulty. But many passed it with in that time, and only relatively new players would still be struggling at this point if they actively play their accounts.
My free account never did beat two of the maps, but I was satisfied with my results for the account as I did far better than expected considering my prince is lvl 34, and most of my units are in the 20's, with a few level 30's and only a single healer higher than that, none of which were CC'ed. For me I was more happy with what I did accomplish on the account than what I didn't.
Suffice to say it seems many are now wishing the events would be a bit more quick, and I would as well. At this point I am hoping that the next event starts this Friday when the current ones ends. Least this way we can constantly make progress on some event. The other thing that could be used is the various weekend events, that could at least be used to tide us over until other events become available. So here's hoping.
TL: DR: This events length was a bit too long for what it required to complete for a lot of players, and I think people are starting to become more impatient for that content to come out more readily. Hopefully the Dev's are listening to Natuku to bring us content at a faster pace.
Despa after AW sounds good, but before then they're saying she's only a bit stronger than the next plat witch, and i dont think she's considered near as game breaking as do like most other black units
Her power level is actually on par, or slightly higher, with a mage damage wise of equivalent level. Granted it is single target. I can attest for me, even with her higher cost Despera did help me pass War of Magic. Her almost instant use of her skill let me get past one of the biggest road blocks currently in the game. It's the instant skill access that makes her great (especially after AW as you mentioned).
To be fair, I did not have a fourth witch leveled up enough to see if it was her skill use that made the difference compared to her cost, or if any other witch would have probably been better choice. So unfortunately I can not give an objective and informed view (or comparison) in this instance. But thought it was at least worth mentioning that her skill being instant, can make a big difference. YMMV of course.
