[Discussion] Witch, Matilda's Sixth Class

[Jadedbacon]

Have to say I’m disappointed with the attack. I figured it would be a damage version of glee, where the pig would take 15% of the damage dealt to all pigs during that turn. As it stands it’s just a really weak DoT that heals.

The support ability is nice, I like that it actually heals instead of just increasing the health. A 20% heal is pretty nice, especially in arena.

Ok so after playing around with the witch a little more, I have to say I definitely think she was built for arena.

Her attack is decent if she’s maxxed out (based off of other people stating what her damage values are). First turn she attacks the banner, the rest of the time she just uses her support ability on the banner.

The support ability heals as well as increasing the max health of the target. So even if the banner has the buff and is at max health, it’ll still heal 20% of the banner each time you use GG on it. If you put max health diamond gear on, the banner’s health is roughly 18k-19k. When I used growth on it, it healed for nearly 4k. Nothing else heals that much on the banner.

Berserker with the pumped up Banner also works pretty well. Skulkers applied the +30% damage taken to everyone, Witch applied +20% health to the banner. Beserker’s WW hit for 1400some. Pretty decent; even without the Skulkers debuff, it still hits for 1100some. Dealing that every turn can add up quickly.

Witch is ideal for buffing Chuck – with that he has really nice health and damage, especially with Wizard.

I am really disappointed with Rovio’s handling with stamina drinks and roll chance for items in the event. I have gone through about 30 stamina drinks and gotten 3 stars on the 1 wave battles costing 3 stamina drinks yet I haven’t gotten any candy rolled off of the event wheel. You would think that you would get at least one candy after rolling ten times but apparently that isn’t the case. I think there is something wrong with the level I am playing or the wheel because it looks like I won’t be getting any candy for another 30 stamina drinks.

If you are burning Stamina drinks on the 1-wave battles, you’re doing it completely wrong.

The correct strategy is to burn 7 stamina on the 3-wave battles with 2 spots for a 6/8 payout per spin. Then use FE to get the thing. Had you spent 30 Stam, you would have gotten 4 items.

I got Witch last night, and didn’t burn any little Stam farming, just for the Golden Pig. I did burn about 10 FE total.

Anyhow, stop wasting time with the 1 spot wheels. Pay 7 for 2 shots, or don’t bother.

Witch is good, but it can’t protect as well as Princess. However, it’s quite overpowered in the arena(especially buffing the banner or Red).

For the record

[Stick Pig]

There’s a nice little bug with this class. If skulkers’ support ability is used on her the pigs will grow from the second time onwards.

[Mp127]

@stickpig2 I also noticed some situations with growing, but max. I got Pigmies in Matilda’s sizes. Same squad, other castle (SRC).

Haha, awesome

I’ve gone up against it in a few battles in arena and had this happen to Chuck when he was attacked but his immunity activated from his set item.

[epicMarksmen]

@atom This happened sometimes when your birds suffer effects but cleansed at the same time.
This may be confusing. Support Rovio: https://support.rovio.com/hc/en-us/signin?return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.rovio.com%2Fhc%2Fen-us%2Frequests

@atom

Today, I got the “knock out 10 birds per battle” objective and went up against the witch. For that objective, I just allow the peripheral damage from the Dragon set to knock out the banner against a weak team, so I don’t have to count how many birds get knocked out. As such, I got hit by the witch many, many times. So many, in fact, that I actually disappeared (only health bar remained) and had to exit out of the arena battle, as it was impossible to grab the character in order to use it. Of course, when this happened, I was one hit away from winning the level and getting the objective :(

[MVNLA2]

I’ve just started playing Witch in SRC to increase her level, and am confused about her powers. Read all of the above, but still not sure.
If Witch attacks the same opponent several times in a row, they get smaller and smaller, but it does not seem like the attack or heal functions have any multiplicative or cumulative effect. Does anyone know for sure?
What does “target takes 15% of dealt damage and Matilda is healed by same amount” mean? In watching what happens to pigs and Matilda, if Witch attacks one opponent, nothing happens to that opponent or Matilda when other opponents are attacked, and Matilda is only healed when she attacks that opponent again, not when other birds attack the opponent. Have I got this all wrong?

@mvnla2 No the debuff does NOT stack. The enemy may get smaller and smaller but there’s no difference.

“target takes 15% of dealt damage and Matilda is healed by same amount”

Yeah this can seem confusing but its quite simple really. When Matilda attacks she does completely normal damage but applys a debuff that makes the enemy take a separate 15% damage for three rounds. The 15% damage is what heals Matilda.
