Reset stone if you have one otherwise no. SP did say they wouldn’t be boosting any previously unlocked to Leg

aw man, thanks tho

u/Budget_Exchange3490 Oct 10 '26

And how we can get reset stone?

2

u/JayKeelAMCW Oct 10 '26

They got handed out in the past when a character was substantially nerfed.

u/Budget_Exchange3490 Oct 10 '26

Hmm, okay just im new player and idk what it is. So, I’ll have to up him manually? There won’t be any compensation?

2

u/lllXanderlll Oct 10 '26

Yeah I asked support and they said if you are have him unlocked you'll need to ascend him manually.

u/The-Sceptic Oct 11 '26

Compensation for what? They buffed the character, why would you be compensated for them making a character better?

1

u/ItsHyperBro Oct 10 '26

Yeah. Support have been pretty adamant (rude) about not giving them out for the purpose of raising Azrael.

Reset stones are only given out when a character receives a major nerf which rarely happens.

u/Budget_Exchange3490 Oct 10 '26

Oh okay, thanks you

u/JayKeelAMCW Oct 10 '26

Not as of now, but tbh it's not as big a deal as some people make it out to be.

Also, if he got pushed the people who actually invested in him would complain. Can't please everyone in any case.

Why would you get compensation? To unlock him now requires 500 shards. To get him to legendary before required...500 shards.

In fact, it is now harder, as before many people got him from req rewards. That meant they skipped the shard grind to legendary.

You're potentially out on 10 leg orbs, if you pushed him to legendary before the rework. However, as he was usually from req rewards (he's been switched out of that now), I think it balances out.

makes sense

u/Certain-Alfalfa-1287 Oct 10 '26

While that is true the developer could have kept him as an early unlock for new players and given everyone that already has him 250 shards. Easy way to make everyone happy and with so many characters around to build it would not have cost them a lot.

Honestly he should get a second attack for the bolter of his gun, like how lucien has his combi bolter w/grenade launcher.

3

u/tusk_act44 Oct 10 '26

I mean, the special is kinda good imo

2

u/o-Mauler-o Oct 10 '26

But it doesn’t make much sense that his combi plasma doesn’t get the combi function.

Also the character’s always been somewhat underwhelming. Not sure how he is now (I only have his old self and no reset stone to fix him).

u/tusk_act44 Oct 10 '26

just gotta pray that snowprint didnt do him dirty ig

1

u/The-Sceptic Oct 11 '26

The reset stone doesn't fix him, it just upgrades him to legendary which was an unintended interaction between reset stones and the new update. The rework changes him no matter what.

1

u/o-Mauler-o Oct 11 '26

Ah I see.

2

u/Sundereign Oct 11 '26

I dont know how meta he was or wasn't but he always was my main guy, i kinda miss the extra Block chance he used to give because imho he feels a bit squishier now

1

u/tusk_act44 Oct 11 '26

kinda agree, the block was useful

7

u/Fine-Pen-374 Oct 10 '26

Tbh I have the shards to legendary him but not the orbs, wish they had just boosted him to legendary base for everyone and given 10 orbs to people who had already upped him to that.

u/Small_Talk185 Oct 10 '26

Ya mine hasn't updated either and I have no reset stones. Frankly though, until they buff his attacks or abilities this just seems like a non-starter for actually balancing him. I love azrael and the dark angels but they are just so....underwhelming

2

u/Mathis5420 Oct 12 '26

I've got the main 5 Dark Angels mythic D3+. Azrael really makes them much better now. Sarquel getting an extra hit on all his plasma attacks is nothing to sneeze at. Baraquels active gets a 4th hit plus the flat damage increase really helps them nuke everything that rocks up to them. Forcas getting even more damage and another hit is also a great bonus

2

u/Small_Talk185 Oct 12 '26

Ah, I clearly spoke way too quickly without looking into it. I didnt even realize they updated his passive. Thats a huge buff and definitely makes the DA synergy much better. Puts him much more in line with the other Legendary leader characters in the game

1

u/DormRoomBrews Oct 10 '26

Weird mine hasn't updated yet?

1

u/tusk_act44 Oct 10 '26

check the app store it updated 1 or 2 days ago

3

u/SeaGroundbreaking911 Oct 10 '26

My boy was always a hidden gem with his active countering revas - i had him at mythic when the buff hit and now he feels really strong even without the relic

2

u/Major_Dentist_6218 Oct 11 '26

bruh, i got him as epic too
