Rosalia underwhelming?

Thoughts on the new hero?

It is just not a hero anybody needs.
She does not fill any gap.

If you could place her for ~100 money and her mobility was better we finally had a starting hero for maps like Ravine. Of course for balance reasons her lategame would have to be worse in this scenario as level 20 is pretty solid.

But so are other heroes.

Also I do not consider her as a buffing tower for helis and aces; except if you go heavy for air you can save a few thousands.

I'm not really sure how I feel about Rosalia as a hero, considering that I was expecting the jetpack monkey to be able to fly 24/7. She's more like a beast handler summon that goes from only being able to be placed in certain locations to being able to be placed pretty much anywhere (in range of the workshop). I think she's kinda passable, although personally I would have gone with giving Rosalia having permanent flight boost ability at Lv20 instead of the discount with the T5 mid path super monkey. Alternatively there could also be increased workshop range to place anywhere, or maybe something that buffs aircraft units that isn't movement speed.

I do like the option to have two weapons we can choose from, the first two abilities and the aircraft upgrade discount.

Not impressed at all. Doesn't even have the oomph to handle her own tutorial mission without perfectly microing her sloppy flight controls and clunky weapon swap.

[The Mighty Salmon]

May be if she was global like the helicopter, with the laser she can pop moab pretty easily or clean with her grenades, she could be good. But without micro managment she is useless, and the other micro management heroes are way better than her.

Looks cute. I'll smash

[Fuzzleberry]

her jetpack should 100% be a toggle at some level since her cooldowns go low enough that she pretty much does that anyway if you just tap it.

[BIG MONKEY]

she should have been like the apache prime, instead we get beast handler 2.0

[terrorarian]

Yeah, I don't see myself using her unless she gets some kind of buff, she's just too clunky atm
Side note, the adrenaline rush passive feels very random.

[Stripey]

She's cute, therefore she's a good hero.

Agreed, its annoying that you either have to tap it or use tech bot.

Except the beast handler can actually somewhat do its job if you invest entirely too much time and resources into it. Meanwhile microing the ♥♥♥♥ out of Rosalia gets you results comparable to dropping Quincy and going AFK.

Either way, the whole point of "hero" towers in a TD game is that the heroes are supposed to be much more powerful to compensate for the fact you only get a finite number of them. If you can compare a hero to a generic tower with a similar role and the hero comes off looking worse, that's a failure of a hero.

Another micro hero in a tower defense game. Pass.

Not much micro about this. Just spam her level 7 ability and you're done.

[The Chosen One]

Gonna need a lot of finetuning and some skill/level overhauls.
And her fly ability should be like a toggle. Constant flying but sacrifice a bit of power. Then for X wave or Y map you can choose to swap around.

Kinda awful, i was expecting a hero that actually synergised with aces and heli's, instead she gets a tiny discount and movement speed, like bro what am i meant to do with movement speed lmao.
