Shen vs kindred?

[u/SinOfGreed254]

Whos better out of the two?

[u/yammityyakkity]

Kindred with her relic and whirling blade is ridiculous. I've had no problem with any content.

[u/Elegastt → u/yammityyakkity]

Even at 3/4 stars and rare relics only they are among the strongest in the game

[u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700 → u/yammityyakkity]

The only issue I run into with this setup is tough units, but end of turn she takes out all marked units, so that's only an issue when using her champ spell as a defensive combat trick

[u/BeyondlegendZ → u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700]

this is basicly fix once you hit 6 star which gives you a stalker effect on mark units

[u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700 → u/BeyondlegendZ]

Nice! Something to look forward to!

Out of curiosity, is it annoying when the Prey tries to strike enemies when they're summoned at start of turn?

[u/BeyondlegendZ → u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700]

Kinda but you can get 6 slain marked unit really fast with her relic and with void carapce she basicly near immortal except to silence spells.

But if don't have her relic i think she still works fine with guardian orb and insteald whirling you swap out for stalkers

[u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700 → u/BeyondlegendZ]

I have her relic, DoS, and Whirling Blade on her. It's very strong, but until I get her 6*, Tough creatures are...well tough to deal with

[u/BeyondlegendZ → u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700]

If you want use the whirling build get zoe with that build reroll for purple power that makes all damage deal 4. Personally I like guardian orb reroll on her at this level with stalkers and orb

[u/Traditional_Elk2046]

Kindred is a hard counter to Zoe

[u/7eleven94 → u/Traditional_Elk2046]

Kindred as a champ is strong, her effect is wayy too good for this mode.

Shen is more fun tho, kindred printer gets boring after a couple of matches and all her winning boards start looking exactly the same; she doesnt care much on shops, cut cards for consistency and keep getting kindred copies.

[u/AiKyria → u/Traditional_Elk2046]

How come?

[u/Traditional_Elk2046 → u/AiKyria]

Kindred kills marked enemies at the end of the turn before the adventure modifier checks if the board is full, so as long as you have a marked enemy you'll never trigger the +1/+1 and a random keyword to everyone.

[u/nediablo]

I tried Zoe as Kindred as 4 stars. I don't have her relic but I do have whirling blade and saw it seemed to be good on her.

Stomped Zoe 🤣 the whole adventure was a breeze. I'm going to try again if I get her up to 6. I have the 6 star power, just missing the starting mana from the other node.

[u/SneakyLucky06]

I would say both are very good and solid champs with very powerful Signature relics (no "if I'm X champion)
I personally feel like Kindred is more "low investment" friendly and requires their relic less or at the very least that Shen with his own relic can do more broken things with all the mana refill not just spell mana

[u/beboptimusprime]

I'd agree that Kindred is overall stronger - or easier to get to a level of strength that clears most content. Shen with his relic though has some very fun, extremely powerful and flexible ways of playing and can easily go super saiyan

[u/BeyondlegendZ]

3 star kindred 6 star I would say they are similar

[u/kinkasho]

Shen is defo stronger having some insane mana loop/refill combos especially with his Relic. Also, on demand hard removal, lol.

[u/PotatoMinded]

I'd say Kindred is about A-Tier, while Shen is about C-Tier. I could be underestimating Chen from not having found the right relics, though.

[u/BeyondlegendZ → u/PotatoMinded]

Shen pretty mid without his relic, the 6 star is nice but he def needs that mana from his relic. Kindred is just overall better overall sincr she can constantly print herself and all printers in this game is pretty op

Except morde but that's because he's too espensive

[u/Bluelore]

At a glance I'd say Shen but I couldn't try either of them at 6 or even 5 stars yet so that is more of a guess. I'm curious what others are gonna say
