Me too! I can’t understand why everyone isn’t losing their minds about a Morning Star with Ensnare

...because the regular one works just fine on all maps 🤣

I think the attractiveness of it is in the presence of many stun-immune heavy walkers, such in Last Stand or Nightmare Challenge, where melee has struggled to keep up.

There's not a lot of need for this weapon, but there is a lot of potential. Unfortunately, potential doesn't sell very well.

People start to use it and firekid upload some awesome videos this weapon is amazing

@liorsalman yeah, little things, like being able to push-root tanks and then allowing normal walkers to flood in front of them to wall them back, possibly with riot Shield to draw them in safely. Melee tactics are quote complex too, compared to the current range game, so yeah if Firekid can "dumb it down" everyone will start to see the value. Lol.

Things that get in the way are Star hero, as usual, and Expert Roster LS limiting creative options. I have another idea for Challenge star hero, but need to fine tune it a bit before sharing.

I hear you, it isn't game changing though.

Zeke with regular MS can push back any 2 walkers (special or not) on overwatch, given there's a space. This and correct positioning eliminates the need for any interrupting MS and you don't lose dmg either (destructive trait).

Meh, upsell me on this human launcher for guild wars and I will smash the purchase button:

It's been probably a year since I suggested MS with Threat Reduction - that would've been quite a game changer for most game modes.

With MS hit area we could potentially significantly reduce threat in just 1 turn. It would have opened up many more team combos with ranged units with non-silent weapons, and allowed for more TR strategies in all game modes (but LS probably). Even up to nightmare challenge, depending on the map of course.

Still waiting for it.

For now you can used MS with michonne to get Threat Reduction 😃

Yes!
Let our newly upgraded Tyreese have a new toy to play with @lexia

I’m really enjoying it! Yes with decent planning zeke can push back a couple of walkers. With this he can keep whole crowds immobile. Meaning that you can ensnare the tanks and then let a different two walkers attack you. Also stops them coming forward meaning you can move your other survivors into better positions.

Obviously with tyreese, keeping the tanks in his circle is incredibly useful. It’s a straight improvement for dealing with non stunnable walkers. As with the other discussion we had on the new obliterator, obviously it’s not a required weapon as most people can get to perfect without it. I would say that if people struggle to get to perfect without one then this might actually help them achieve it though.

JordanYuki · October 2022

I’ll be getting it, seams like the best option for nightmare mode and expert mode LS.

BenjaminT · October 2022

Tyresse/Ensnare MS and Brosita/Riot Shield sounds like it can manage most nightmare challenge maps. Tyresse pushes away, roots/makes circles and backs off. Then Brosita herds and backs off, bringing stunnable walkers between the heroes and the circles.

Could be the hipster version of PY
