Hero Cantare's wasted potential

Other

As a player who used to actively play this game when it first came out, it's sad to see how far Hero Cantare has fallen. This game had potential as one of the only webtoon/manhwa-based gachas, it was just handled very poorly by NGEL.

Not sure if a discussion can be made out of this post, so I'll just mark it as other.

Late game is where it gets a pretty stale imo. PvP has no mixups in terms of who to use and you basically end up using the same teams for PvE or PvP with very little differentiation.

Glad to see the nerf to Sujin as she was ridiculously oppressive and it’s not even really a hard hitting nerf. There are still multiple other units who can do some bullshit to cover the team.

Hopefully they add more late game content to incentivize using other teams or units.

Here's my take on the unit balancing in Hero Cantare. Feel free to disagree or agree with me. Tanks in this game are severely broken and always have a major advantage over DPS units.

  • They have hp scaling dmg while also being able to survive long periods of time
  • All of their dmg mitigation stats can be increased
  • On top of this, many of the meta tanks have way more utility, debuffs, and relics that make them way more oppressive.
  • Dps units don't have much of a way to combat this. They don't have things like aoe shields, taunts, silence, etc in their skills. If a DPS unit doesn't have immortality and/or pierce attack, they are pretty much useless in PVP.
  • Armor crash can only do so much because of the dmg mitigation stat and block. The absolute attack buff isn't accessible to almost all the DPS units unless it's in one of their skills or applied by another unit. Units that can give absolute attack buff to the party are essentially useless for PVP because they waste a turn, waste a slot for a tank, and don't do anything else in their kits besides that.
  • Looking at the top people on the leader boards is enough evidence to support this. Most of them are filled with both regular/summer Pooh Upooh, the duo Maschenny unit, and Sujin with an occasional PKU, Jue Viole Grace, and PGA. There are others but I forgot their names.

You took the words right out of my mouth. What especially pisses me off is that we finally got one dps that challenged tank meta, hwl, which changed up pvp and made it fun/unique for us at least in global s2. Not one defense in pvp was similar at the time. Now they nerfed him and we’re all back to stale tank meta, seeing who can out live the other. I don’t understand why they always nerf dps and not the tank units.

Would you like to provide an explanation as to why, Hero Cantare is wasted potential?

Lack of content and crap monetisation most likely.

Nerfing meta unit's. So many players left the game after recent update.

Makes sense

My biggest gripe with the game is the lack of representation. The vast majority of the games characters are from the same 3 WEBTOONs and the few cantare original characters are just fan service waifus. The promise of a multi franchise gacha game should have a roster like smash or jump force, not just 3 of the most popular comics over and over again. Also the ui is actually disgusting to look at, way too much going on in almost every menu.

Doesn’t help when the game is no faster than a PowerPoint slideshow either. They never address the important bugs and only give “balance” patches no one asked for. Hell Illpyo was been bugged for the longest time and they still haven’t fixed him, even though they claim to.

I feel like they put most of there money and resources around the time noblesse collab came around (besides the launch of the game) and it feels like there has been a dip in quality since then.

The sad life of a gacha. They are made to look promising, but never fulfill its full potential, because they've already milked enough money before doing that. So instead they start making another gacha ( in this case their new ToG game )
