Impackt: True Love

Surprise pack review

Author note: I’d like to thank everyone for their messages of support. Site is still not going to be as frequent on updates but I have some time this week to fix things up.

Blueprints

Given that all Herbal Medicines have dual stats there’s nothing really special here. It’s not a bad choice for when you’re levelling but it’s nothing game-changing either.

From a crafting perspective

Someone please check on Kabam Jeremie and make sure he’s alright as it’s a pack blueprint that doesn’t use Precious Shell. Unusual for the Staff line in that it uses Jewels over Ether (which is nice) though runs a bit on the higher end even with ascension.

From a meta perspective

Question 1: Does your hero have Staff Master or Adept as a skill?
-If it’s Adept, go to the next question.
-If it’s Staff Master, go to question 3.
-If no, don’t use this.

Question 2: Is that hero a Spellblade/Spellknight?
-If yes, congratulations on finding the best use case for this item.
-If no, don’t use this.

Question 3: Have you considered rolling that skill off or making a new hero?
-Wands are significantly better than staffs. The only staff user that can’t use a wand was covered in question 2 (Spellblade.)
-It’s not even remotely close in power.
-I mean it looks cool? Just you might prefer the health offered by Ice Queen’s Sceptre if you’re committed to keeping Staff Master.

Superior Pack

Blueprint

From a crafting perspective

For metal crafts the Cupid’s Heaume weighs in on the very heavy side in regards to resource cost – even post-ascension you’re looking at 27 Jewels which is a lot more than expected. It’s nice that it calls for a Bleakspire mat which you can lower to 2 so that side of the cost is great but yeah expensive on the rare resource.

From a meta perspective

With its formidable defence and bonus health stats the Cupid’s Heaume makes a solid choice for your helmet-wearing friends. The only catch as such is to make sure you can take the affinity hit – Cupid’s is lacking on that front. Samurai should still keep to using the Canid’s Helm to boost their first strike power.

Summary

• The Unwilting Rose adds yet another entry to the totally lacking Herbal Medicine with ATK/HP line.
• Heartcaptor’s Staff suffers from the unfortunate fate of being a staff.
• Cupid’s Heaume is a lovely addition to the helmet line, though expensive on rare resource costs.

Final Score

Mega Pack: 2/10
Superior Pack: 8/10
