EV 2 or Gunwitch?

[The_Technomancer]

I've a hundred medals off from 10k and was wondering which hero I should get next. I have the abyss lord already which leaves EV 2 and gun witch. Should I save 2k more medals for the gun witch or are EV 2's beams really good?

Gunwitch is a pure DPS. She doesn't have any defenses, so if planning to play as her, you need grind for good equip and always run there and there to kill ogres and bosses. She has pretty good abilities and so, but it's average DPS, while EV's beams a veeeery good with AL archers, and EV's DPS almost as good as Gunwitch and suitable for different situations. So it's all up to you and your game-style.

Gunwitch is very mobile and deals average dps. EV2 can root herself to the ground and deals massive DPS, but is obviusly immobile while doing so and takes a couple of seconds to set up.

Personally I like EV2 for melting ogres and disintegrating an entire lane.
However she is only really good, if your defense can kill everything else without trouble. EV has no good CC and none of her abilities deal instant damage.

EV beams are cool. Her buffbeam is amazing and her reflect beam essentially removes ranged enemies from the game. The proton beam is nice, though it got a bit worse, as they kept fixing it. And it turned out, most of it's power came from stuff, that just didn't work as intended. Another fix is soon to come, so that is sad...

I wonder : Are the Gunwitch's 'spells' that replace her defenses affected by defense-related hero-stats at all or can i forego those alltogether when i spend points on stats ?

LMB and RMB attacks damage depends on your "Hero Damage" stat, while all of her spells depends on "Ability Power" stat. Critical damage increases damage both of her simple attacks and abilities. So, you can choose between HD/AP, HD/CD or AP/CD builds.

For the 'Witch, if you're just going to be shooting LMB/RMB... Hero Damage/Critical.. and maybe just enough Ability Power to 'book' a shrek. You can also pull things like putting more Sabrinas in your deck, so if an ability is on cool down... swap to another Sabrina. Since mobs don't seem to build up any 'resistance' [there's an idea for you, TE], with just two Sabrinas in your deck, you can keep a shrek in the library indefinitely.

But if you only have enough medals for either Evie or Sabrina. Get Evie first since you can build with her and she has superior firepower [from a fixed position].
