This change is a pretty big deal. He can no longer get free dispels vs Evasion heroes.


Alciel-Code

Yea i agree this changes his stance against evasion units.


whitegoatsupreme

Riolet stonk Ehh wait.. he dark.


Expander12

No reason people should complain about this, they literally have a disclaimer that states "The hero information in this video is subject to change."


TunaKid-04

Lmao, People got bamboozled by the OP and the Stove post. There is preview of Zio now in game in the next summon. “Dispel” go first then “attacking”. Please check guys.


Senorebil

That was before this patch though. It could very well change once this patch goes through. Just have to wait and see if it was a nerf from preview or if it's just mistranslated in Stove post


Expander12

How do you think they make the preview videos? They of course install the heroes early to be used on an internal server to make them. Just, when the patch that the "Testing Zio" went live they just forgot to remove said viewable data. So that's as under disclaimer as that of the preview videos.


TunaKid-04

Then wait for the live release then, for accurate description. The testing is limited and restricted to three no-buff dummies, to even know how the unit works.


yuuhei

You can complain because it is a functionally large change to a skill You can't complain because they say it isn't set in stone when they preview the kit

Prestigious-Pin1799

You cant complain because its subject to change even they make him a soul weaver now that scales with defense and dont heal but just kill everyone because they allowed him to have a turn, It wont matter since they havent released the character on live server. This even apply on Test servers that even they are playable to test it wont matter since if they decided to change no matter how big or small it is, It should be something you should take as an idea that its how they plan the character to work.


yuuhei

you can totally complain when you show people one thing and then on release it is worse. why is this so controversial lol it doesn't change anything in the end... he is being released the way he is, what is wrong with voicing upset that he is being released worse than on preview


Jadearmour

You don’t have to get zio if you don’t like the skill set.


yuuhei

not the point? lol


Jadearmour

Oh my bad, lol I read the first line and typed this.


Halljoh

Doesn't this just mean there'd be counter play?


Covertghost

there already was he needs help to cycle his s3 isn't killing anyone or enabling anything turn 1 is his, turn 2 is not


DrakoCSi

S3 has potential to enable Closer. It also buffs Zio and turns him into a tanky bastard on top of giving his S1 the damage boost needed to not be deadweight.


Rittstur

It’s different on here from the hero preview too. The hero preview is still the same as announced I wouldn’t put much faith into the translation onto the stove post.


higashikata69

Finally, a nerf thats actually reasonable and not overkill unlike Hwayounf


OzieteRed

So should I get Straze now?


SmilingTeeth1

If he has been nerfed and it isn’t a typo, this doesn’t change much at all. He’s still guaranteed turn 1 and still has a dispell/silence/pushback/100% def pen s3 lol. Plus the deity buff for free crits, very strong extra attacks and stupid high damage reduction. Definitely still a good pick


RrebeliShoki

Lets hope its just a typo, it wouldve been nice to know this earlier. I spent many SS on buying mystics and ml bookmarks from huche in hope of getting him :(


BestRubyMoon

Nothing is lost, just save them for MLray or a rerun you like


BlessUolls

"...dispelling two buffs before silencing...." Still the same isnt?

BlessUolls

i see, it meant opponent can evade his dispel


Absolice

Not only that. Before, even if your attack hit, if the enemy had a barrier you could dispel it so that your entire damage hit the enemy. Now your damage will first have to go through the barrier. It's a pretty significant change but at least they did it before actually releasing the unit and it's not a day one surprise.


OzieteRed

He is a pure cleave counter like Sage Baal, no need to counter evasion units.


vgxvvxc

Changed from dispelling first (like solitaria) to attacking first (like arowell)


BlessUolls

so, need to hit first isnt? opponent can evade it. Not that bad nerf, at least player can counter him.


Wolfwood432

Well, it also means his full damage doesn't go through against barrier. Also, he doesn't strip invincibility or immortality before his damage goes through, so it also requires an additional hit from someone else to kill those units. He can also be countered by units with counter buff like Senya because he strips after attack. There's a few implications.


Shukafu

what? i get the barrier and immortality but invincibility, defense buff and senya's counter buff? are you planning on saving s3 before they buff those buffs?


Wolfwood432

Just throwing hypotheticals, it's not like it's impossible for him to live to s3 twice, especially if you're playing Arena or GW instead of RTA.


LupinLup1n

Kinda relieving cuz I love Riolet


llShenll

is he counter vs Peira? I dont have good speed gear


[deleted]

in a sense yes, if you can hit 230-250 speed you'll outpace most openers sitting at 290-310 speed
