User blog:Shadowslayer of the northern legion/Set reviews (updates expected)

With nekki deciding to add set bonuses to legendaries, i say it's time we review them, this is just my opinion so your welcome to disagree with me

if needed, a set bonus page can be found here

SCOURGE LIQUIDATOR



The set bonus is this, "burn your enemy's shadow energy with successful attacks and deal 50% more damage when it is depleted", this set can be obtained from chapter 1 through legendary card packs, but also archive packs in later chapters, it's set bonus requires the player to time attacks carefully and is one of two legion bonuses, the damage boost is worth the set as it can easily give you the edge against bosses, it's worth mentioning this set bonus is used by an enemy liquidator in chapter 2 and a survival fight, overall, a well-played set, and deserves a 9.5/10

GUARDIAN DRAGON



In my opinion, the worst set bonus, "gain +7.5% to shadow  energy for each successful weapon attack", while it can be stacked with rising tide, rising tide alone does much more than the set bonus itself, which is sad as legendary sets are supposed to reward the player with exellenct abilites, this one is not one to me, as it is a more rare version of rising tide, let alone spurt which can be applied to any dynsasty armor, overall a 4/10

GLOOMY SPECTRE



As someone who thinks heralds could be more worthy with a buff, this set bonus actually does quite well at giving a herald player a strong bonus, its bonus is this, "Gain spectre badges that increase your damage by 50% for 3 hits, badges dissaper overtime", a very good set bonus, escpecially for agressive players as this set is best used by aggresive players, the armor set with it's weapon and ranged weapon also looks very nice and gives the vibe, everything seems perfect with this set, overall a 10/10

ABDICATOR



With someone like me that is a dieheart legionary, this set was a surprise and definetily can be useful in a boss fight or a tough battle, it's bonus? "when your out of health, you become invincible for 10 seconds and deal 2X damage", a very strong bonus if you ask me, it's useful for events, duels, daily missions, etc. the only counter it has is fast weapons, fair enough as it's a legion bonus and legionaries are often slow, but this makes them even tankier, and the damage can be extremely deadly when used right, you can melt event enemies with this, a 10/10 for this set



"when your out of health, you become invincible for 10 seconds and enter shadow form with full shadow energy bar", pairing this with the overpowered shadow attacks the legendary set has, (pegtop, burst, loop, etc) it's one that should never be underestimated as it can end people in seconds given you know how to combo, it sadly has a massive counter though, helm power, shadow energy scales with your helmet's power and being a legendary helmet, it's rare AND expensive to upgrade, it doesn't help that this set bonus barely works in events as for some reason enemies are almost invincible to shadow attacks, it's sad to see what seems like a great set countered by an equipment piece, but still deserves a 7.5/10

DIVINE JUDGE



A bonus that more or less would fit with dynasty due to most of it's weapon moves for the set only having 2 attacks at max, but is fairly decent nonetheless, "3 successful hits fully replenishes your shadow energy, but it dissapers after 3 seconds", if you know how to use kusarigama in combos, you can spam shadow attacks all day, provided your fast enough, a good set bonus on all accounts and is useful in events as you pretty much have infinite shadow energy, a set i highly recommend for those that prefer shadow energy compared to normal attacks, a 9/10

SPRING CHAMPION



While it sounds great, it sadly isn't, and the steel sakura set is one of my favorite sets to wear as well, "your shadow energy restores itself overtime (much faster when near enemy", at first it sounds good, and it can be, until you realize you can perform only 1 shadow attack, and this pretty much cripples you, while the judge can only perform one attack, at least you can have a chance of actually doing it with it's weapon, the spring champion set is not as good and is a set bonus i've tried, and i hate it, they crippled what was a good fight with this set too, and it's sad to see a popular set be nerfed to the ground, a 4.5/10
