Introducing the
Holy Hammer Warrior Miranda, our second event Heavy Infantry. She is also an Attack-oriented one, but now without Holy Warriors' signature Holy Awakening, so she gets FULL Platinum level stats. Instead of Holy Awakening, she has scaled-down version of Black rarity Deine's infamous Dynamite Power skill, powering her attack up to x4, in exchange of halved attack speed. Combined with Miranda's HP-Atk affection bonus, that's a lot of hurt) Awakening further pushes her attack focus, giving her passive ability increasing all your Heavy Infantries attack by 7% by merely being in the team. While on the defensive heavies it might be not that noticeable, if you ever manage to luck out on Black variants, that would push their damage further through the roof). Skill Awakening, whenever it hits our shore, trades 5 seconds of uptime for bigger multiplier (x5.5 instead of x4), but adds a self-paralysis self after skill ends. While more power for the same cooldown
is very appealing, that self-paralysis hurts her performance as Heavy, should somebody survive her onslaught, releasing entire mob she was holding to pour down the lane. On the other hand, if you were unlucky enough to pull the Liana, she could be used to negate this downside.
Still, while all that attack power increasing skill is fun to play with, it doesn't really help her in her actual role - to tank multiple hard-hitting mobs. And while her natural defense is pretty respectable, Bernice, a Gold rarity unit has more. And as skill features no defense multiplier, actual level of mobs she can safely face is middling at best. And when you don't have to worry about hard-hitting mobs too much and just need to stall and clear the wave, you have your Samurai. Her only edge over Bernice is her beefiness, allowing her to facetank a 4k hits without any buffs AWmax, so you can use her, for example, to keep couple of 2.5k golems occupied. So, all in all, while Miranda will be an upgrade if only Heavy you have are silvers, if you have Bernice or even Maribel, she won't see much use.
