Is Cattie-Brie worth using up my tokens for?

[Pimento]

I've seen some good discussions around her reasonably good buffing, and minsc is just so random (even for a fully epic gear one as I have) in terms of team buffing.

I feel like I really should have spent everything I had on Strix, but I didn't, so now i'm trying to decide if I should wait for an upcoming key-crusader to unlock, or take Cattie as high as I can, hoping that she eventually moves into a prime spot. the heroes of the hall squad will, at least when it finalizes, likely provide something interesting... but is it enough to bank on?

Thoughts?

No, she dont get the Charisma bonus of Hitch

[MiNours]

Catti-Brie have CHA 13
Hitch Buff is for << Heroes with CHA Higher than 13 >>
( that mean begin at 14 and more // 13 or Less aren't benefit this Bonus )

Yeah, I think i see where you guys are going. she's not a true buffer, more a hybrid dps/self buff, at least how I would use her.

Good thoughts. I'm going to get her to blues and the one token purple from the event chests and call it a day.

There is no point in stocking on Tokens, each event has different tokens so your unused tokens won't be usable before this specific event comes back in 1 year from now.

Catti-Brie is a very good buffer, it would be an error to pass her by anyway. Just do as many Freeplay you can so she gets some gear.


PS : There is no "Crusader" in this game, here we speak of "Champions" !

PS 2 : The fact that she doesn't get buffed by Hitch is the reason she is not a very good Main DPS, but that removes nothing to her buffing power.

Indeed, as it stands for me she's on the bench (buff too weak to make formation) in both Torm and Kel. Conceivably she could be swapped with Minsc/Zorbu on non-FE levels.

Re the companions of the hall, issue is that Drizzt's power set suggests he would be main dps (given his abilities, ultimate (which is useless if not main dps), and slot) ... which leaves Catti as a weak buffer just in to power his buff. Its also an open question whether it will be that strong given Drizzt needs a fair bit to beat Strix & Birdsong.

That means minsk is still a better buffer (with his fav enemy) than cattie-brie?


She will just be usefull in special missons (just female characters, no melee characters...) otherwise her buff is to weak? The first days of the event that sounded better. :(

Depends on your load-out. For me at present, she buffs better than Minsc does on the whole. But I imagine that a few months down the line, when my Minsc has better equipment, he may become more useful than her again.

Minsc is overall a worse buffer then her because his buff is too limited by its limitation to certain enemy types. sure on waves where your facing the type of enemy he is set to he is great but against everything else he is trash and very few adventures contain only a single type of enemy.

[Captain_Narol]

I don't use Minsc anymore, even against's Minsc fav enemy.

Catti-brie is a better buffer than him for me in all formations !

Cattie-brie ultimate is insane damage at lest it seems to be for me compared to other champs ultimates.

[SoulEater_yilmaz_durmaz]

Catti is part of the Hall of Champions, and when these champions are all in the game there might be some buff later on the game. if you have other available CoH, than it having her with best gears will be good. if you missed any of them, you may stop spending.

This is why she's worth using, IMO. She doesn't just hit six enemies at once with high damage, she inflicts a debuff that makes them vulnerable to critical hits from the rest of the party (using the same stats as her Critical Hit ability) for 30 seconds! So for me with her at level 500, that's 62% chance to crit for 1500% bonus damage, so if that were to happen when your main DPS hits the boss with double Barrowin buff...

She completes the formation for Not Very Charming.
Kind of necessary if your gear isn't whale level.

Sorry, i was using "tokens" as a generic term for the 30m, 4h and 8h bounty contracts. I should have been more specific. Blacksmith contracts i've already sorted - my celeste with 2 shinies gets every single one.

Essentially i've got a few hundred bounties sitting around and am trying to decide if the extra gold chests are worth it.

Then not necessary. If you're lucky to get an epic on Mark of Death or critical hit damage, then so be it. She's good to swap in for extra dps on a boss level, even with all blue gear.

Then again, there are players who script farm gold chests and just use their contracts every event and have enough again by the next one. So no reason holding on there.
