    Lightbulb The Dark Knight Clan and the Imperiled Healer event guide

    Good timeofaday, brave Princes! It is that time of the week, and so we get to enjoy the new event. As well as the next chapter in (mis)adventures of our (un)friendly neighbor Decius.
    So let's see what he up to in The Dark Knight Clan and the Imperiled Healer!

    Event runs: 2017-09-26 to 2017-10-03




    Rewards
    This is a Unit Farm event. You obtain copies of event unit as a direct drop from event maps and upgrade it via regular unit combination for Cost Reductions and Skill Ups.

    The star of our event:
    Introducing the Antinomous Healer Yuno! Second free platinum healer after our healing Queen Chydis, Yuno sets herself apart from her peers by attempting to be a Dark Priest with her skill turning her into attacker. Unfortunately, unlike proper Dark Priest, id does not come with secondary healing, so you are stuck with a berserk healer who goes all out damager on skill and only heals when sad skill is not on use. It is pretty inconvenient most of time, as usually you bring your Healers to heal and them being distracted by something else may cost you a star from blocker/lightning-rods death or even the whole mission. But if you can compensate the loss of healing with defensive skills or power-up of a second healer, attacker Yuno is pretty competent, with both good speed and good power. Another interesting point is, CC-level Yuno pushes out her healing a little bit faster than other CC healers (but overall animation cycle have the same length, so healing speed is the same). Awakening gives Yuno class-boosting passive, allowing her to buff all Healers' power by 7% by merely being in a team. Skill Awakening turns her into switch-type unit, changing between healing and attack mode upon skill reuse. Second Awakening puts her on the patch of Oracle, giving her more range and a 50% chance to invalidate the incoming attack. All in all, pretty gimmicky unit, but if you don't have other Healers, she'll do good.





    Even if she's not an event reward, she's still new, so...
    Introducing the Nutaku-tan Crimson Wheel Hermit Nataku, a Black rarity Hermit. Premiering her Special class, Nataku, despite being the melee-slot unit, normally blocks none and flies on the sky throwing ranged attacks on nearby enemies. Along with superb natural defence, that makes her quite good physical lightning rod. Skill makes her drop down to the ground, acquire 1 block and start caving enemy faces in melee with true damage, simultaneously raising both her attack and defense twofold. That gives her more than 1k attack and 2k defence on her own! Sadly skill duration is only 15 seconds, but it still pretty hefty stats right there... As a proper Black, she has passive ability pre-awakening. Hers is good old Pursuit, allowing her to skip post-attack cooldown animation 20% of time. Awakening, in addition to providing very hefty stat boost, boosts that passive to whopping 50%, what pretty often leads to her chaining her attacks like machine-gun. Skill Awakening upgrades her skill with ranged attack (at the cost of slightly longer reuse). All in all, Nataku upholds the status of Shrine Black, able to solo bosses and all. And she is done by the same genius who created Mikoto's rt, so she looks gorgeous

    Comments about the event
    Say hello once more to our good friend Decius. He brings his Living Armor buddies with him, so magic-based composition is preferable. But beware Wand armors, they have respectable 40% MR. Alternatively, Bandits will have a field day with armors, with their class advantage granting them bonus damage multiplier to their already hefty attack. Last three maps feature Healer power reduction, so stock up on alternative sources of healing (Shamans, Bishops, Priest Warriors, Druid's Trees even).

    On the farming front, we have a G-tier 90/12 map with its guaranteed Yuno drop. ...With Samurai and Pirate as silver drops... Oh well, at least there's a Ruby drops as a compensation

    On a silver farming front, here's a run-down of possible drops:

    There's a Tin Can on 55/7.

    Other
    New Classes Being Introduced

    Hermit / Great Hermit

    A Special melee-slot class that normally doesn't block, flies in the sky and rains ranged attack on enemies. Under the skill, they jump down to the ground, gain 1 block and start attacking enemy in the melee. Members of this class have superb defense and some MR, so they make a great physical lightning rods and good enough versus magic. All in all, a duelist-inclined Angel counterpart that does something even without the skill.

    Good heavens that was quick! I actually thought they brought the event early for a moment...

    Yup, Yuno's a sexy one but still not going to bother with her much only getting SCs out of this and silvers.

    Nataku, I will get her hopefully. Not likely but hopefully.

    A quick note Nataku's name. Nataku is the Japanese name of Nezha, a protection god of old Chinese folk religion who has become one of the Taoist gods, whose official name is Marshal of the Central Altar and given the title Third Lotus Prince. Because of this translators like Petite Soeur render her as Nezha rather then Nataku, so something look out for.

    I hope everyone bothered to level a couple of the alternative healers they threw at us over the past few months

    Jokes aside, i guess this will be the usual for me. Farm her during the weekend and merge with copies to get her CC'd or better.

    I keep hoping they will make samurai/pirates/monks use their own kin instead of rogues soon. Would be really nice.

    Yuno is a hottie and performs OK as a complementary piece but ultimately toggle skills are fundamentally weak on Healers because their stats and attack speed is balanced to meet much different benchmarks than the numbers good DPS units are aiming for. You basically need skill modifiers like Pippin's that rework your attack style from the ground up to be relevant as dps and even then many people would still rather have a nice long duration heal buff instead.

    Overall, I'd put Yuno roughly in the same tier as Shiho--she has the advantages of better range and mild relevance as a stat stick but her non-skill healing output is lower due to the big speed difference and she's noticeably more expensive.
