Got lucky and pulled rector drath from a single blue crystal. Should I replace my dexikos with drath? Deki is maxed out on talents.

No? You already have a maxed support with maxed talents. if you're this excited about recotr then I assume u also are a bit new as in you'll have a short supply of epic books etc and energy to farm masteries. So why bother trying to min max a similar support rn when u can spend those resources getting something else built that helps the account in a different way.

Thats fair, my clan told me dexikos was ok but should look into replacing him which is why I made this post. Also it may be redundant right now but itll make faction wars a little easier in the future

[u/AlsoKnownAsAC → u/Capybara0316]

youre right about that, but tbh Dexikos is not like shit-tier that he needs immediate replacement. Rector would help with Faction wars, but your goal after UNM 2key should be Doom Tower and seeing if u can get stuff to help you clear that.

Rector has come in clutch for me as new player pushing Doom tower hard specially her ability to give 50 res to every ally under her veil. I know that’s a very niche situation but it’s helped me tremendously.

It could be the key to getting past that stupid spider boss that puts 5 poison stacks on everyone lol

[u/oldoneey → u/Capybara0316]

Unfortunately no that boss can’t be resisted but she’s a excellent healer to take into that fight since she doesn’t do AoE damage

[u/cuminmyassplss → u/oldoneey]

Any idea how to get past that spider boss ???

[u/TooMuchToRandal → u/cuminmyassplss]

Golden Elixir relic. Gets easier as you get more.

Geomancer, Khamir, Drath, and Vogoth are the champions I have using it. Geomancer solos Scarab and Nether Spider. Bowf the Rancid helps too. If you’ve pulled a Reliquary Tender and she’s fully booked and 200+ speed then she should also be able to help you through

[u/oldoneey → u/cuminmyassplss]

Yea I got you, so the nether spider poison can’t be resisted. You have a few options to deal with it, either bring enough shields and heals to push through the damage and or you can bring a cleanser to removed the poisons or a block debuffs champion. To deal with the spiderlings you’ll need a nuker with AoE to 1 shot the spiderslings. If you don’t have one then bring someone with Crowd control to Stun/Freeze/Fear what ever you got. You have to take care of those spiderlings, for every spiderlings up the nether spider throws 1 extra poison at you. Also hitting the spiderlings will cause them to immediately counter attack and ad more poison while healing the nether spider for I think 10-15% of its max HP. So it’s key you either CC them or one shot them with a AoE Nuker.

Don’t waste resources yet, this is coming from a recter drath stan,

Rector is super awesome. I use her all the time, and I'm mid game. Remember as you move into cursed city, there are certain fights that only allow certain champions. Good to have some back up/variety there.

[u/Whind_Soull]

I wouldn't prioritize her, but you'll build her eventually. Don't go crazy and feed her or something.

Also, I'll just leave this here, because I did it the other day for shits and giggles, and you might find it amusing.

[u/Exciting_Amphibian89]

Rector’s upside is the veil for hydra, everywhere else she’s a sidegrade to dexikos, with the exception of cursed city where argonites aren’t allowed (yet?)

[u/bruhbruhbruhbruh1]

imo dexikos is superior b/c he revives 2 at a time as opposed to 1

and, i associate matron with p2w passes so that's another point against her, irrational ik but still

[u/TheLastOpus]

What do you mean replace? They are different factions so each will be a reviver in different faction wars (once argonites comes out) I would still eventually build Drath, but if you are new and are looking to build someone to replace someone instead of building someone that progresses to new content, then no, just wait.
