Tehtys >>>>>>> Solgard

[Syrin]

Solgard sucks A eight ways from Sunday. WTF? This is the upgraded champion?

[Kaerius]

Exiled champion.
Also Coldchannel Solgard is one of the strongest champions in the game, but a bit dependent on what your other clan brings to the table for survival.

tethys can die from being sneezed on by a pyrewing, and frozen lance is a terrible starter card. disagree.

Coldchannel is very good, but the other two do suck

Not exactly true, the phase shift one is a good stat stick. You just don't build around him. He has *some* use.

Tethys has more utility for sure though.

Tethys never dies and does massive frost stocks.

Tethys dies to spikes and sweepers.

Oh and usually to pushback Talos.

While I agree Tethys is better than [insert literally any champ here since Tethys is the best champ in the game in my humble opinion], I don't agree that solgard sucks.

Coldchannel is incredibly powerful in most builds if you give her proper support (armor, hp buffs/healing) and is a monster at killing bosses. Other than that, if you aren't offered coldchannel at the start, starting titanchannel is pretty strong and allows you to crush the early game as Titanchannel 1 is good (it's 2 and 3 that suck). You have a 50/50 to get coldchannel after that and if you hit it on the first upgrade you can still have her be great, but I will agree that getting stuck into going Titanchannel 2/3 or Titanchannel combined w/ Direchannel is pretty bad.

To everyone saying Tethys does to Pyrewings or spikes: I'm guessing you're putting all your stats into frostbite? I highly recommend putting a point into conduit or sweeper to get a natural increase to her hp, that will allow her to survive a hit of pyre wings or spikes, and then you can utilize any other number of cards to either give her armor, heal her hp, buff her hp, give her damage shield, sap the sweepers, stun the sweepers, ascend/descend the sweepers, reform tethys, or simply fire a bunch of frontloaded damage spells to kill pyrewings. You'd have to low roll pretty hard to not find any of that by end-game, usually I find people complaining about Tethys survivability are ignoring answers offered throughout runs that could have prevented her deaths to sweepers/spikes.
