Strix is still my main DPS, probably because I got lucky with epics and I put quite a few Blacksmiths into her, but Delina is pretty good as an alternative once I get her shinies I think, just because I can place her in the back and get her bonus for it as well. That's the first part where I think that one-winged powerhouse can shine over calliope :)
I'm now using Aila as my main tank as she brings her own temp hp shield and gets her healing from Quillek, so it makes placing Celeste more flexible if I even end up using her, the weekend buff was enough to put Regis over the edge. And since I have my tank with Aila I don't need Nayeli and I can use Spurt.
That bird was pretty good for me, it made all the previously okish new champions top tier :D might change again when I get the important shinies for core champs though.
I like Qillek. He's worth using depending on where your gear levels are. Also, keep in mind that Qillek will get better when the other 3 Aerois champions appear as well.
Right now, he's a pretty solid 7. He's certainly not auto-include, but he does rival Calliope's power.
As for his healing, he'll be heads and shoulders above Celeste. He heals anywhere in formation and heals your entire formation. Even discounting his distance bonuses, he'll out heal Celeste.
I saw DEV plan to add three member from Heroes of Aerois in the future.
Whoops sorry, my bad. I keep forgetting the green arrows from Calliope are for her temporary shields, not bardic inspiration.
Also, thanks for all the info guys. I guess my reason for finding Qillek so underwhelming is because I don't have a lot of characters unlocked yet, but I'll be sure to keep him in mind as I progress.
On the topic of 'is [x] better than [x]', is there a formation or method of making Stoki preferable over Jarlaxle? She's easily my favourite character (I adore shorty races!), but I find it hard to fit her in to my formation while Jarlaxle's Master Of Piracy offers such a stronger benefit to the team.
Due to his positional requirement, I'm having a bit trouble to fit Diath into my formation, at least unless I would be willing to either drop Nayeli, Evelyn or the healing by Celeste. All of which feels at first glance like it would cancel out his benefits. What do you suggest? A Donaar setup?
Or far more likely, I once again fail to imagine, how much more powerful a different team structure than mine will be.
As for Qillek's buff, it's probably 10-20x Calliope's Bardic Inspiration. This is pretty good, but not completely auto-include. You'll have to evaluate the larger buff, depending on your gear. Remember, you'll always want Qillek next to your DPS (and appropriate position for Arkhan) to maximize his buff. The range-increase specialization he has is a trap.
Yes and no. I mean, yes, it really doesn't work with the way formation buffs are built in this game (their range is too limited). But extending 1 cell at 50% efficiency isn't exactly a deal breaker. That's roughly the equivalent of *1* area (enemy health roughly doubles every area, with a boss-area-only spike every 5). I mean, if you're walling at a boss, then it's no big deal. If you're walling shortly after a boss, then you'd definitely want to rethink it, since you'll probably be unable to beat the boss with a weaker buff from Qillek.
But if the idea is to buff champions other than your primary DPS then there's no point -- all your other champions will be missing 1 or more major formation buffs, rendering their contributions moot. Though, it occurs to me, there are enough 'formation-wide' buffs now to replace the more restrictive formation buffers. Gromma in place of Nayeli. Donaar in place of Celeste. Qillek's range-extended buff is most of a formation. Deekin's Dooom spec is formation-wide. And Evelyn is effectively formation-wide. Sadly, they're all event champions, so they're unlikely to hold a candle to their core-equivalent (some by factors of 100x or more), making the fact that you can buff 3-4x more champions at once kind of pointless. You're either spending hundreds of dollars during events to push gear levels to the point that they'd be competitive, or they'll just keep falling further and further behind core champions who can be geared (and substantially) all the time via gold and silver chests.
I mean, you're right. Qillek has the POTENTIAL to be much stronger than Calliope...but only if you're willing to spend a substantial amount of money every time Qillek's event rolls around. All the event champions have that problem -- the game does not provide adequate means of keeping their item levels competitive between their respective events.
