So what do you guys suggest for new and improved Horus subs these days? I want to get back to using him, in preparation for his upcoming bustitude.
Though is anyone still using Asty? She's vanished off my list for the past week or so, which makes me sad now that ol' pierdra is almost max skilled. Need more Devil love and less Valks and Bastets.
Well Echidna is still a must have. Someone like Okuninushi would make up for Echidna with his delay, but it's not as potent. Kushinada has that 75% damage reduction, so she works well. The fish twins are OK for color coverage, but their active gets rid of fire orbs.
Kirin is probably the best Chinese god because of that gravity. The rest don't satisfy Horus without a lucky cascade.
As for new monsters with awakenings, I mean...It depends on the dungeon. So many monsters have good awakening abilities, it just depends on what you want to do. The best Horus team anymore is not a thing - lots of dual element monsters to increase damage would be the one thing you need to focus on.
With awakening, you may want to bring a bind resist. Poison block if you're worried about that. With newer monsters having a boatload of HP, you almost NEED that delay, so you can't really skip out on that no matter what you do.
Also, regarding Asty...I don't run her much unless I'm doing a dungeon like the fire dragon with gravity (Amon counter = win). My Asty and Ceres are both max level, so I'll run Asty/Luci or Asty/Asty + Hera-Is/DJ/Amon/??? when I'm in the mood to turtle a dungeon.
