Unit: Cavalry
Hero skill: Halo of arcane power, constantly heal all units next to Hyacinth for a certain amount of time, starting from the beginning of the battle (illustrated by the green arcane circle above his head)
Cooldown: N/A
Range: Medium
Hyacinth is definitely one of the best cavalries in the game. His healing is MASSIVE compared to Sarah due to the great magnitude and high consistency, as soon there are many units in range all the time. That's why he works well with heroes who rely on minions.
HP: 4
Defense: 4
DPS: 3
Skill: 5
Unit class: 4
Overall: 4.5
Recommended Position(s)
3rd column: He will run faster than 1st and 2nd column of hero and be the first to fight in the lane
4th column: If you want him to deal damage + heal. Work exceptionally well with Octavius
I don't recommend to have him storming the backline of enemies unless you have 2 or 3 cavalries together with him (such as El Cid). Otherwise his skill is wasted.
Recommended Build
Build the hero as tanky as possible so his halo lasts longer:
- HP
- Defense
- Skill damage reduction
- Dodge, if you use him as tank
Best Partners
Generally all heroes who rely on minions:
- Octavius, his minions work extremely well under Hyacinth's healing halo
- Ignatius / Leonidas / Achilles, his minions last way longer under Hyacinth's heal
- GRD, who can last longer and do more damage by absorbing more damages (Thanks Dmitriy for the suggestion =) )
Nemesis
Gawain, prefect counter to Hyacinth (Gawain's active skill is to reduce healing effect in an AoE manner)
Circe, turning Hyacinth's edge to enemy's edge
Kelly, if Hyacinth is dead, his minions are useless
I really like this idea. I would like to see descriptions of all the characters and their best position in the rally.
ReplyDeleteI have added a label called "Best hero series" so you can check the other heroes i have thoughts on. Cheers!
DeleteHe heals all units and heroes in the area, not 15. It works like Manto's skill or academy heal.
ReplyDeleteAchilles also can be considered as his nemesis. Hyacinth has very high basic dodge, just like Alash. With proper staff it can be raised to 70. Sweat piece for Achilles. Usually It takes 15-20 sec to kill him with my Achilles.
Oh, and one more thing. GdR also is a very good partner for him.
DeleteOh i mixed up the 15 max target with Wiliam. I tested it before and for damaging skills there is a 15-person cap. For the heal, should be all units in range. Thanks for reminding me =)

And for the dodge, i didnt realise before you mention! But i didnt build dodge on him as i use him as a healing support more than a tank. Dodging gears are on my Alash and Shazzo now haha
Delete70 dodge is enough for him to survive for 40 sec (50 sec for 11 lvl skill). Actually my Hyacinth often lives for 1.5-2 minutes without any 5* gear. And I've got so many dragon boots, helmets etc so there's no need for me to be greedy :-)
DeleteIt's still the case that max dodge is 70, right?
DeleteI've heard that dodge can be raised to 72 or so, there was some helmet (or armour, doesn't matter) available for real money. Though it doesn't make much difference.
DeleteWe look forward to more of the Best Hero series. I would like to see a description of all the heroes 4 * as well as the best 3 * and their application in the rally. I would also like you to write what type of minions best suits the character.
ReplyDeletebtw
Great job kenny!
I visit the blog daily to see what's new.
Thanks man!
DeleteI have been busy this first half of the month so didnt have too much writing posts...things should get better when christmas comes!
However, we are not allowed to swap type of units in the game (pavisers will always be pavisers). I think i can share more on the team combo under the Best Partner section.
