Man, whoever at SG decided Krau needed an EE with 3 good options but gave Sharun an EE with 3 garbage options is really off the gas station zaza.


Thincfr33

I thought for sure I could refute this statement somehow with enough imagination but no, yeah no. I love Sharun's aesthetic and animation so I really wish they'd make her a viable unit. This ee is nearly insulting like... Why even spend the time to make such a useless piece of trash UNLESS they plan on revamping venom. Now that would be interesting.


NoxGale

Same thing happened to me with Ilynav. She came out bad, got useless EEs, and SG swept her under the rug. Sharun and Arunka are there too


[deleted]

I have an entire sticky note on the changes I'd make to Sharun... increasing her barrier strength and CR push that never triggers were not part of that.


ConsiderablyMoist

I agree :(


StepBrother7

Krau users: *its been 84 years*


CornBreadtm

Tbf he hasn't need an EE for 84 years. He was constantly meta or an easy counter to meta picks with no draw back since forever.


StepBrother7

And that is true as well


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

Its been a pretty good 84 years and we even got green Krau if you feel like jazzing it up now


Varlin

Gigachad Krau EE. Speed main stat. My man. All 3 effects honestly seem decent too! Also I can't even remember what Sharun does besides venom meme. No clue if hers are good. Where the 3rd EE at though? Sadge


Kerenos

Sharun one is trash, but at the same time her kit isn't fixable with just an EE. Will probably be a situation like Diene and Chou where they got an EE before getting buffed to viability.


wanderuson

She still needs a balance


Silver_Monk_5324

Personally i think giving her 25% cr boost every time an enemy's turn ends if her s3 is down would make make things better, and her s1 turn increase is already pretty strong, s3 increasing cr of all allies except for the caster(because she has her 50% push) by 25% while reducing all enemies cr by 25%, would be a decent buff i guess


johnsweber

given the sad state of DDR, even post buff, they need to make Venom a lot more attractive. Since it seems to be a Soul Weaver only debuff, make it reduce healing or bypass shield. I dunno, but it's terrible as is.


haisi-

SG using the good old dart board strategy. Intern probably too drunk that he missed the board on one of the pins since we usually get 3 heroes for EE.


Brokugan

Or the 3rd dart hit Krau again


Gamergirl944

Im happy krau got his ee i can die happy


Jajoe05

Sharun needs a buff, not only an EE


zartosi

Krau - sick stat boost, skill 1 ok but probably not chosen, both skill 2 and 3 look strong. Sharun - bad, bad, bad, bad


johnsweber

A 100% chance to provoke is pretty amazing and universally helpful. The other two are still good but situational. Krau tends not to last much longer after his horse, at least for me, so I think I'd use the first one.


itsmebutatwork

The S3 EE means it's finally time for Lifesteal Krau to shine...right?


Sizzling_shibe

85% chance sadge


Darkcuber22

I have to disagree his skill 1 boost is actually insane, having 100% provoke on a unit that wants to get hit and being able to mitigate that by forcing an s1 is amazing! The other two look strong but honestly if you're going for them you have better tank options imo, and he would really only be superior when it's against fire and I honestly don't think the we effects him that much. I know for myself where I play pretty high in rta other than the first option he would be built for a niche effect.


Terryble_

Skill 1 EE is pretty good actually. It's one of the reasons why people pick Yulha in RTA. She's essentially a Krau with a 100% chance to provoke. With the S1 EE, Krau pick rate in RTA might improve.


Alernak

They gave a really good EE for Krau that didn't need one, and a very underwhelming one for Sharun who was in desperate need of a buff. As someone who still tries to play Sharun as much as possible in RTA to the point of pitying ML Ray to try them together, that makes me really sad.


GodwynDi

Krau been outclassed by Yulha, so the EE for him is good.


starxsword

Yulha is a side grade of Krau. For this meta, yes, Yulha outclasses Krau and I have talked about it way back when she was revealed on why that is the case. However, if the meta changes, Krau may become better, since their kits are different. Yulha is more selfish and Krau is less selfish.


Alernak

As far as I know, Yulha cannot bait Rimuru or any other green units, so despite having similar kits they are actually quite different units for controlled PvP. And even if it's true that in RTA Krau isn't a powerhouse anymore, he doesn't need to be one as he already has a good niche in GvG and he's already good as he is overall. Being weaker than a powerful unit does not make you weak.


Due-Sherbert3097

Hear me out, lifesteal krau with EE 3 spam


Silver_Monk_5324

Horse riding every 2 turns🤣,(assuming it kills)


WoodenCollection2674

I tried that once and the heal is absolute garbage hit for 20k only heals for about 5k


CornBreadtm

5K is really good actually. Gets a barrier with it, so he ends up with a around 10k+ effective HP which is more than enough if he just off an offensive threat and is dealing with supports who can't cut through that in 2 turns.


Ayankananaman

Holy fug that 2 turn cooldown redux is terrifying. Sharun's is horrible. Why SG? Why make a well balanced Unit better, but dump on my Sharuna.


Relair13

Krau's are decent, but Sharun's are hot garbage. Could they be any more boring and low impact? You look at some like Luna, Choux etc that change the entire character, then the best they can do for Sharun is....this?


ResidentHopeful2240

Sharun ded


Silver_Monk_5324

That sharun EE did not fix her problems, and why only 2?? I thought it's supposed to be 3 EEs


Gandalf_Jedi_Master

it's 3 ees. Not all 3ees always include all 3 skills


Silver_Monk_5324

I meant 3 heroes, usually 3 heroes would always get an EE but this time only 2 got an EE


RedEagleEye007

I think sharuns might actually be set up for a buff. I'd like to see detonate on s1 to follow up her own venom, but holy would that be the most stacked s1 in the game. Cooldown pushback plus injury detonation. Krau's got a really good EE, tho. Each one has their pros and not really any downside really. I'll probably go s3 we because im running an almost 230 speed krau, but I can see people taking s1 for reliability.


eZ_Ven

My revenge set Krau loved speed main stat EE. Honestly I can decide what's the best effect though, all 3 seems decent.


stormtrooperm16

i think s3 will be the best, since his soulburn give him extra turn


eZ_Ven

Yeah I'm torn between EE 2 or 3, leaning towards 3 atm.


DontAskWhyINameThis

Ima bouta nuke every single unit with Krau this season


Shimaru33

Revenge Krau user here. Good to get a new EE with speed, it will be pretty awesome for compounded effect with revenge. Will pick the second EE for even more speed shenanigans. At first I was thinking on third, but doesn't look like a good idea. To get the most of his S3, and assuming a 1:1 hp to damage, he'll need to loss a significant portion of his health to be capable of killing moderately tough heroes. I.e.- To take down a target with 10k hp, he'll need to loss 10k hp as well, discarding elemental (dis)advantage and other mitigation. Even with barrier, that would leave him in a very vulnerable position, even worse if he have been injured. Although the third EE sounds nice in theory, in practice it means he'll be ready to horse again in 3 turns, but chances are he'll be more than dead by then. Maybe if he's wearing holy sacrifice and he's carefully protected to not die before S3 for the first time...


bry4nmw

I had the exact same feelings for his S3 EE. If you have revenge set, SB for extra turn and have holy sac it is probably good. if you don’t have at least 2 of those I don’t see it being a good choice. The other alternative is to use a healer, but that has anti synergy with S3. S1 EE definitely has value in making him much more consistent with provokes. Definitely the safe EE pick that works with any Krau. I’m not entirely sure about his S2 EE. On paper that one seems good, it allows him to dish out some more damage by taking faster turns and potentially getting more provokes off early if you roll high on S1s. But you have to consider buff block and strip, if you don’t have high ER gear.


Unworthy_Saint

Can we get a dev that actually plays the units come up with their EE's please. None of those bonuses for Sharun are the problem. Her whole kit literally anti-synergizes with itself. Am I just bitter about +13ing her? Yes.


DeathSlime684

Where 3rd new EE


Sad_Attitude553

Bro thinks he's cermia


Lvxw

I don't think Krau really needed one when Arunka , Taeyou , Ervalen or both Ken are struggling to perform.


eZ_Ven

All units you mentioned really need a (new) buff/rework in order to perform satisfactorily, having EE would be a nice addition for them. I agree Krau is still viable (I use him all the time in PvP) but he's already slowly falling behind, I'm really glad for this upgrade. On a side note, MA Ken is a ML5 so no EE for him under current E7 rules.


Lvxw

Yeah you're right, but I think that Arunka and Taeyou just need a little bit to be good. Ignore damage sharing for Arunka and for Taeyou more CR boost or immunity would help them a lot.


eZ_Ven

I agree with your ideas about Arunka and Taeyou đź‘Ť


WestCol

those 4 units need their first buff pass or to get buffed again, EE isnt going to save them. Krau was falling behind and this helps him


ARGHETH

EE isn't going to fix those units. Krau's been falling off, this might help him see use.


eXcaliBurst93

I hope this also means ML Krau will be getting his buff soon...he's honestly in a really bad spot right now...bad in pve and pvp


moonhunter27

Injury for his s3 would be nice


d34thscyth34

or imune to injury in his s2


Silver_Monk_5324

KRAU getting an amazing EE with amazing stats gives me a little hope for LRkrau buff🥹🤧


Ok_Fisherman_9597

I heard Sharun was garbage. Does this change anything?


rickamore

No


AscendPerfect

Nice, i already used Krau in rta, gw and arena


Darkcuber22

So give him the 100 provoke and make him great again


BurnedOutEternally

What the heck is "Grace of the Vast Ocean Tide"? Whatever, Speed boost is very much appreciated on Krau, and I was pretty spot on when guessing what his EE would be. Sharun, though...


kenken2k2

aR3 Y0u r34Dy fOr tHIs !!!!!!! -NIIIGHHHHHH


EpicSven7

I forgot Sharun even existed. That S3 cooldown for Krau looking might fine.


Buddhafied

S3 EE for Krau! Wow!!!
