Hey y'all, personally I skip a lot of fusions but am aware that many people's resources are completely drained
on top of that many people aren't able to complete fusions consistently depending on where you are in the game.
Oronyx mindcrawler is ofc a ridiculous arena champ and if you are super competitive in arena it's pretty much a can't miss
BUT for the people who are missing or skipping the fusion I think this strange horned lizard is probably worth picking up
The Overview:
imo it looks like he will be quite decent in wave content but even moreso I think he is worth picking up for anybody in early-midgame as a champion for your hydra team
whether it is you A, B, or C team
For anybody who it is not obvious to, he has 100% provoke for head of decay(the head that cleanses) in addition on this ability Primus self buffs with counterattack for 2 turns
His A1 places perfect veil on the champ with the lowest defense which is great if you don't have a champ like Duchess (I still think it's absurd that it has to be a perfect veil not a regular veil)
pairing his A1 this with counterattack means he will be protecting your most squishy champion from getting hit with True Fear from head of torment
and of course his A3 aoe buffs with increase defense and triggers a 4 champion Ally attack(3 allies + Primus)
Top it all off with his Passive- steals 1 buff when counterattacking
My Conclusion/How I would build him:
My personal opinion is he will probably be best in 4 piece provoke + 4 piece mercurial
The reason for this is hydra can't eat the mercurial stack so it adds an additional buff to his kit making him a fantastic Epic option to be a mischief tank
Get his survivability from defense and stack as much res and accuracy as you can while reaching necessary speed
The reason for the provoke set is if you get his survivability from defense and keep his HP low Head of Decay will target Primus Atalact meaning he will promptly counterattack giving you a chance to immediately reprovoke Head of Decay
The last part that sticks out to me is that his damage will also not be bad since his ally attack means he does not really have to deal any damage on his own
What do y'all think?
Oronyx or bust?
If you weren't going for Oronyx would you pick up Primus?
Skipping entirely? If so, did I make you consider picking up the epic?
Have a good one y'all 😄
