I don't understand Carmillia gameplay

[LOUTRE SOLIDE]

I've been trying to play her since the release but she feels really strange and weak. I don't really feel the risk reward aspect, do you have any clue or what are you feelings about her yet?

[Xbye]

She feels incredibly awkward, and weak. Like, her kit feels like it doesn't flow well like the other characters do.

[Dalr0n]

her talents suck mostly

Oh no D: I was so looking forward to her

You guys are just playing her completely wrong lol. She's SO Strong. Her E is her bread and butter skill.

Her trait literally has an AoE pulse heal that scales off of the heal increase magical items. Ya'll are seriously capping if you think she's bad.

her talents still are plain and meh until higher ranks. i mean bat master is cool idea but badly placed at lv1.

Ok, good someone did a Carmilla post lol...I actually really like her.

She's not..."obnoxiously strong" or anything - so far, but I think her gameplay is fun - for me.

What my gameplay so far felt like is:

Her special can start to hit very hard, and getting charges/reduce cd for it is the way to go as it also gives easy blood points, and intangibles frames. That's imo her "easiest" thing to play around...plus it's kinda the most vampire effect...bite enemies...there it is.

So you keep phasing with defense/specials claw in some strikes or lots of them. The "dash through gives blood points" talent is also very good, so extra dashes/dash cd is also very very worth on her I think.

The power...is good...but really I dunno, I haven't gotten all her talents yet...the channeling is cute in the beginning.

But I def don't think I want to play around it, although the idea I think is the "pop" of it is where most of the damage lies, channelling it is just "greedy". But it does help cushion the beginning of the run I think.

She has a good boost crit bonus (once you tag with bleed effect), she has a high boost crit chance for the special only (from what I've unlocked so far). She has a "mark" like scarlet to boost damage through special as well.

I feel like crit chance is a priority - I mean...everyone likes crit chance but she really needs it.

Maxing her talents...not a lot of them felt like they're worth maxing. The crit bonus with bleed, crit chance on special is what I felt were worth maxing.

Her autoattack can be pretty good if you max out the attack magic item, she hits super fast.

The trait effect can be maintained if you keep filling up the blood bar while it's active, that's why -again- I feel special charges/cd is the way to go, as it's the easiest way to keep it up.

The trait allows you to throw ult and use power "free" - the trait is constantly draining the blood bar at fixed rate though so it's not really free.

The first ult hits very hard, it's not...super fancy mechanics wise, it's like a "shockwave" thing...but good damage.

The "stealth while bat form" talent is actually kinda hilarious.

Will update later as I play some more.

Some characters feel meh until you unlock more talents. Pied Piper was like that for me.

[Mizonel]

Feels alright, Special build seems to be the way to go right now, its just mobile damage. Channeling power just puts you in a bad spot, but does have 'helpful' talents at higher levels.


Little bit of crit with a lot of crit dmg seems to be the way, as both Power and Special get a if they are bleeding gain %Crit, with another that just boosts crit damage if bleeding.

Might attempt to try to build a Auto, Defense, Dash build at some point if rng is willing.

Does have a lot of sustain though.

This is the result of developer confident of their internal testing balance and thus did not release her on early access

Do you have her fully leveled up? Because level 1 characters don't have access to all talents that can result in more powerful builds and runs. First time playing her on the first difficulty I won, will see how she scales in later difficulties and I'm sure the devs will do some tweaks in the future in regard to balancing.

People jumping to conclusions too fast about her. She definitely has felt strong the times I've played her.

shes strong yeah but incredibly one build only. her special is just too good build around it and its all good. Her talents are just boring as hell

[ResidentE-Boy]

Every character is pretty weak in the first few levels. Carmilla is absolutely bonkers as you level. The 2 builds I've been using are building around Special or Defense. The Bats build get CRAZY when you get her level 5 talents.

You have to max out crit/crit dmg with Go for the throat. It’s the only viable build. Dash in crit heal and repeat. U ll be slow and waste a ton of time while fighting mobs. It’s highly rng dependent since other traits are mostly weak and barely have any recognised dmg output like the others in coop mode. If u play solo she is okey

[Dekart]

I'm working on a build based on bat form.
I can tell you that once you have the correct skills maxed.
You just fly in being intagible. and you destroy everything.

The fun thing is you are always thiinking to manage your blood reserve, when use your special and other skills

also having at least 2 specials and 2 defence change everything.

Basically ;

You charge with special by moving.

When you face a group :


Special to go in
Bat form turn in round
dash out
Power (not too long until something want to target you)
Special in
Bat form
Dash out

Actually you have to think about the order.

Once you know you become very powerfull.

But clearly more difficult to manage than Aladin or melu for exemple.

Hope it helped
