7Knights - Defensive Hero Monday

I had complained to my girlfriend about having little choices for defensive heroes to advance as we will get at 4 Star defensive element every monday. And that today I actually had 4 4Star Elements which I had advanced 2 of them into 5Star defensive element in order to Level Up Lee Jung from 5Star to 6Star. The Main reason for levelling up Lee Jung is because there is a lot of changes in the meta game since the release of Wind God Giparang.

After looking around the net for theory crafting for this particular character, i noticed that quite a lot of people in the arena had replaced Black Rose with Giparang. The main idea is that both of them had nearly the same stats and Giparang's skills takes out 2 Strikes of Damage Immune Shields instead of 1. With Speed at 30, he is usually going to go earlier then Lu Bu with Speed 20, and just after Bi Dam with Speed 30.

So...back to defensive heroes, the reason why Lee Jung gets the pick is because of his Passive Skill. 

 

He decreases all enemies Damage by 40% and read about this thing for All allies skill cool down decrease by 10 seconds!??! Meaning if we place double Speed and double counters for Lee Jung, He will be countering all the way while reducing the cool down for the entire team. Super charging for example, Yu Shin's Lightning Strike and Dark Thunder Wolf attacks which usually clears the enter team or Soft CC them for a while, or Lu Bu's Crimson Gale Slam and Cosmic Dimension Slash which is equally powerful at taking out the opponent's team. Did I also mention about the Stun Attack from Giparang? OMG....

Secondly, if you think that this defensive hero is going to just stay there and allow his passive to work (like Ace), then perhaps his one and only active skill is another force to be reckon.  

His active skill does 200% Physical attack and stun the target for 2 turns and reduce buff duration by 2 turns!!! 200% Physical Attack! There is no mention about Percentage Stun! That means if Lee Jung's active skill hits the opponent, that character will get Stunned for 2 turns, and having only 1 active skill means there will not be any wasted turns.

What is the deal with Lee Jung and Giparang / Teo in the Metagame? The main thing about damage reduction is that these heroes hit damn hard! Thus the first concept is to reduce the amount of damage that we can take after our Damage Immune Shields had been taken out. The theory is that with this Passive Skill and 26 Speed is to take out Eileene (21 Spd) before she can do any AOE electrify on us. While we cannot move faster than Yu Shin (29 Spd) and Ming Ming (27 Spd), we will have to count on Ace being alive after being shocked by Yu Shin or Stung by Ming Ming. If we are lucky, we can score a lucky one with a Stun on Lu Bu / Giparang / Teo.

So! This is what I think about Lee Jung, and while his Buddha's deals lesser damage then some of the other heroes around I felt that he really have some potential.

Happy Farming!!!
