Magic Chess: GoGo/Heroes
How to use Balmond
Among 2-Gold front-liners nobody is sturdier than Balmond, who ties Hylos for the most HP at the cost. Cyclone Sweep adds Hybrid DEF and spins for 3 seconds, striking adjacent enemies 14 times, so his damage is best when he is surrounded and poor when the enemy stays at range.
The spin needs mana first. His Mana Cap is 80, high for a 2-Gold hero, and his attack speed is near the bottom of his cost, so mana from basic attacks comes slowly. Against ranged boards he can stand in front doing little until enemies walk into him.
He counts for Dragoncaller and Dauntless, two front-line synergies that pair naturally. Our Full Dragoncaller and Dragoncaller Burst comps both use him for the count and front-line HP; Dauntless partners include Franco, Hilda and Lolita. Two-star him early as a cheap tank, and replace him with Badang or a 4-Gold Dauntless later rather than chasing a 3-Star.
Synergies
Balmond counts toward these 2 synergies. Field enough members of one together and its bonus switches on.
DragoncallerEvery 3 seconds a dragon strikes the 9-tile block holding the most enemies for True damage based on their Max HP, and each strike buffs your Dragoncallers' damage. Three strikes per battle.
DauntlessEvery ally starts the fight with a shield; Dauntless heroes get a much bigger one.
