"Silver and Crimson" is a 2D plot card game, featuring many heroes with varied abilities. With so many heroes, players naturally become concerned about their strength. Here are the top 5 heroes in Silver and Crimson worth cultivating, introducing their performance and analyzing the scenarios they excel in, so that everyone can know which characters to focus on. Interested friends, come and take a look!
Preface:
At this stage, there aren't that many overwhelmingly powerful characters. The must-have cards are actually only Lamia and Dalkaro. Other T1~T3 heroes are seen as relatively similar in strength by hardcore players. Therefore, this guide will focus on introducing Lamia and Dalkaro.
Lamia:
A hero who excels in group combat environments, while also possessing certain single-target compensation mechanisms. Her passive skill enhances the team's lifesteal ability and provides some team buffs, making her a versatile character that can easily fit into various teams, becoming an important tool for advancing through the main storyline. Due to her core output mechanism, she is almost indispensable in the Abyss of the Night Clan, so it is recommended that players definitely obtain her. Her best applicable scenarios include main story stages with multiple enemies, battles involving multiple rounds of summoning (such as Residual Soul Rust Armor), and clan hunts.
Skill Analysis
The basic attack bounces between four enemy units, dealing 100% of attack power as magic damage to each hit unit. Each enemy can be hit by the bounce at most once per normal attack. If there are fewer than four enemies or if they are too spread out, the effectiveness of the normal attack will decrease.
The battle skill, Crimson Vassal Dance, after every eight hits from normal attacks, summons a bat servant beside Lamia. The bat servant deals 100% of attack power as guaranteed critical magic damage to the main target before disappearing. The efficiency of summoning bat servants depends on the positioning and number of enemies, requiring a minimum of two normal attacks to summon one, up to a maximum of eight. An increase in attack speed has a minor effect on Lamia.
Ultimate - Bathed in the Rite of Crimson Bats, consumes 4 soul essence points, and performs a bouncing attack on the selected target, hitting up to eight units, each receiving 400% of attack power as magic damage. If the same target is hit again, the damage is reduced by 50%. Additionally, for each unit hit, a gluttonous bat servant is summoned. Unlike the normal attack, the ultimate can bounce multiple times on the same target and has a wider range. It is recommended to use it when there are many summoning units on the field to maximize damage output.
Characteristic - Clan Discipline: When our side is in the Waxing Moon state, all enemy units receive 25% lifesteal.
Skill Priorities:
Upgrade the battle skill and ultimate first. Upgrading the battle skill increases the damage multiplier of the bat servants, enhancing single-target compensation, while the ultimate improves the efficiency of clearing minions and strengthens area-of-effect (AoE) capabilities. Both should be upgraded simultaneously. Basic attacks can be deprioritized in the early and mid-game to save skill resources.
Team Recommendations:
Lamia's AoE capabilities are extremely strong, making her suitable as a core damage dealer in various teams. She can also serve as a secondary damage dealer in any team due to her lifesteal buff, offering high compatibility. Standard team: Lamia + Akabella + Gielan + SR Chonglin + SR Jess. For a summoning or DoT system, replace Per/Cesia, Nico.
Dalkaro:
A member of the Night Clan, skilled in using light equipment, in the Waning Moon phase, his primary damage output relies on magic damage and Pain DoT. Alongside Akabella, he ranks in the T0 tier for the Waning Moon phase, mainly suitable for the main storyline, tower climbing, PvP, and guild dungeons. He possesses the current lowest-cost (3 soul essence points) and widest-range control skill, serving as a debuff secondary damage dealer in the team. Compared to Akabella, he fits better with the DoT system, integrating more effectively into teams centered around continuous damage.
Skill Analysis
Basic Attack - Show of Cards: Deals 100% of attack power as magic damage to the main target.
Ultimate - True Fortune Dance Wheel: Consumes three soul essence points, releasing six cards within a selected area, each dealing 100% of attack power as magic damage. The cards prioritize different targets; if used on a single target, all six cards hit, resulting in a 600% damage multiplier.
Battle Skill - Self-fulfilling Prophecy: Automatically activates after every four normal attacks, dealing magic damage to the main target and the last divined enemy unit, and applying two layers of [Pain] (inflicts 30% of the caster's attack power as magic damage every two seconds, up to 10 layers, lasting 10 seconds).
Characteristic - Diamond Card Formation: Based on the number of times Dalkaro uses his ultimate, applies 1 to 3 debuffs to enemies within the ultimate's range: the first ultimate inflicts [Stun], interrupting enemy actions. The second ultimate adds [All Damage Reduced by 15%]. The third and subsequent ultimates add [Increased Damage Taken by 15%].
Skill Priorities:
Upgrade the ultimate first, increasing the damage multiplier of each card. In the early and mid-game, do not upgrade the battle skill and basic attack to conserve resources.
Team Recommendations:
Dalkaro can quickly control ranged enemies, reducing the survival pressure on the team, and accelerate the release of his ultimate through the Blood Moon state, fully utilizing his debuff capabilities after the third ultimate. Standard team: Dalkaro + Lamia + Seth + Bella + Returning Amy/Friedrich/SR Jess/Theophania. DoT system team: Dalkaro + Agares + Returning Hati + Seth + Kian (replaceable with any survival role).
This concludes the introduction to the top 5 heroes in Silver and Crimson, focusing on the two most powerful ones. In the first limited pool, drawing Lamia is the best choice, but since damage output is easily replaceable, it is recommended to draw just one, and then observe future developments to decide on resource usage.
