A Counter for Firesweep/Dazzling Effects Incoming?

Like Null Follow-Up, do you think we'd likely see a "Null Sweep" skill to counter skill that prevent counterattacks? I think this would be an excellent B-slot ability and currently theres no hard counter for the Dazzling Meta thats only gained more traction since B!Veronica debuted.

Healers needed a reason to be use,and razzle dazzle fits the bill for that perfectly. It's not that hard to counter either, literally just use a restore staff and all that debuffs go away.

The only good fighter skill is wary fighter, and arguably special fighter. Bold and vengeful are memes that get your own units killed.

You will never find a top 20 player calling vengeful or bold "good" skills. They're only even remotely good when used against you in the arena, where losing a unit matters. Everywhere else they're msotly useless because they enable other units that outspeed to potentially kill them with extreme prejudice. Everyone that sees scores above 750 regularly looks at units with those skills and says "ez win".

It's another one of those situations where low class players think a skill is good without knowing why its not, like western college kids thinking socialism works. They both work extremely well in theory, but in practice they completely fall apart, the first because if you dont kill the enemy the enemy kills you, and the second because people are greedy by nature.

I do think this becomes a thing eventually. Might not come for a few months though.

And as you pointed out, it's not just an anti-dazzle. It also blocks the effects of firesweep, windsweep, watersweep, and, if you're a mage, Jaffar's effect refine.

With this skill, you can put it on defense teams and sweep skills for arena will be useless.

I already wanted this since like a month ago, but people never actually faced them, so they think it's ok for healer to have this uncounterable power.

anyway, it would be nice to have.
sweep skill is annoying, but at least it's limited and it actually prevent them from doubling/counterattacking.
dazzling is pretty much a combined sweep+enabling counterattack, which is pretty powerful.

I could see it being a thing, especially with Veronica being so common. Raven tomes would be more relevant if it did happen.

Report

That would be the greatest because there have been so many times in aether raids when a brave Veronica kills all my units in one turn cuz I can't counter.
