RISE OF CASTLES - HEROES

With the arrival of the Ghost Sentinel skin, the hero Tura Cartel has undergone some significant changes that can greatly impact his performance on the battlefield. In addition to improvements in attributes, he has received new skills and enhancements to existing ones, making him even more powerful. Let’s break down the key changes so you can better understand how these alterations affect the hero.

Improved Attributes

The Ghost Sentinel skin has brought considerable improvements to Tura Cartel's attributes, providing boosts to several key stats. Here's what has changed:

• Might: Increased by +12%. This boost results in higher attack power, directly impacting the damage Tura Cartel can inflict.

• Resistance: Improved by +6%, making the hero more resistant to enemy attacks and reducing incoming damage.

• Tactical Might: Increased by +9%, enhancing the hero’s strategic capabilities during battle.

• Tactical Resistance: +3%, further strengthening his ability to resist negative effects during the fight.

• HP (Health Points): Increased by +6%, giving Tura Cartel greater durability on the battlefield, making him harder to take down.

• Damage: Increased by +2%, providing a small but significant boost to his offensive power.
  

Change in Skill: War Song of Sunlight → Solar Totem

One of the most noticeable changes is the replacement of the War Song of Sunlight skill with the new Solar Totem. While War Song of Sunlight was effective in providing extra damage and triggering Destructive Strike, the new Solar Totem skill offers more tactical and sustainable advantages for the team.

Solar Totem has the ability to influence the effectiveness of both offensive and defensive actions in a more strategic way. Instead of merely increasing damage based on injuries, Solar Totem introduces a support component to the team, making it a more versatile option, especially in long battles.

Inherited Skill:

In addition, the inherited skill of Tura Cartel received a significant upgrade. The new version of Solar Totem brings the following effect:

• When the hero’s squad starts preparing for a prep skill, Tura Cartel enters a sober status and has a 45% chance to trigger Destructive Strike. Furthermore, when casting a skill, it reduces the damage dealt by 2 random enemy squads by -15%, stacking for 2 rounds, making the skill more defensive.

• It also increases the effectiveness of his attacks when he is injured, providing a +20% damage boost on the subsequent combat skill. This makes Tura Cartel even more effective at keeping the pressure on the enemy.

This inherited skill now offers a unique combination of both offense and defense, allowing Tura Cartel to reduce the damage from enemies while setting up his own powerful attacks.

Preserved Skill:

The preserved skill is one of the most interesting additions brought by the Ghost Sentinel skin. With the Preserving Skill, Tura Cartel can now protect his allies even more and boost his team’s effectiveness in battle. Here’s what it does:

• Type: Pre-Battle Skill

• Range: 2

• Target: 3 random friendly units

• Effect: The skill reduces skill damage taken by the hero's squad by -5%, while increasing the skill damage dealt by the hero’s legion by +2%. This not only helps protect your allies but also boosts the offensive power of your team during battle.

This combo offers a great balance of high damage output and protection. Don Quixote and Roland offer powerful offense and defense, and Tura Cartel takes advantage of both, dealing solid damage and supporting his allies.

How it works:

• Roland boosts the squad’s speed and power, ensuring that attacks come quickly and the team is shielded from incoming damage. Tura Cartel’s Solar Totem will further increase damage output, making your cavalry even more dangerous.

This combination is a very solid choice. Ragnar and Roland provide both offensive and defensive capabilities, while Tura Cartel enhances the team's damage and ensures their survival.
