Deekin or Walnut

[SevenBlueSeven]

Which one would our veterans suggest we spend the most time and tokens gearing up during this event for a first year player?

Walnut, but you should get both and 100% both missions if you can

Walnut is a better character all around. Deekin used to be a strong buffer for bard-reliant teams (and he's still not a bad pick for those teams) but since K'thriss joined the game Deekin has only been good for speeding up enemy spawns in the early areas.

Walnut switches for Hitch. Hitch is very good so is it worth switching him for Walnut?

Hard to say for sure since DPS meter is broken for Walnut (it reporting DPS based on a fixed number of buff stacks).

I don't think there's a simple answer for that even once her stacks start showing properly. Depending on your campaign, what map you're playing on and who you're using as your DPS you should switch between Hitch, Vhlanya and Walnut, since they all excel at different things.

Once you've got some decent equips for Walnut you should experiment with her a bit to see which one of them fits your formation better.

In some formations Deekin still seems to give a better boost than K'thriss for me, somehow, but overall I agree with the general sentiment that he's been superseded.

Walnut's Ult is really crazy; she's basically doing what Win In The Bin was supposed to except at the push of a button & while being a good tank & buffer at the same time. Don't know how they could nerf her ultimate without changing how it works...

I'm using Walnut. Seeing squirrels take out a boss is LOL.
