Daredevil of Dark, Gamble Mage

might as well throw in a Syndra ball too!

Moral of the story? Don't tell people to shut up.

The damage is pointless. Three dark orbs is okay, but not worth having this turd wasting a slot.

I hate this random nukes that have extremely low ceilings. It should be random damage between 1 and 1 million

It's not like it's completely useless. You do have a chance of getting 1583 * 50 = 79150 damage, which is part of the gambling aspect of the character. Also, spawning 3 Dark Orbs is nice when you need it

i know this is 2 years old, but it can't even be used to clear trash floors even if you are lucky because it only hits 1 enemy. if it was me it would be 1-200x at least and/or 1-12 orbs spawned. then at least he would be sometimes slightly not totally useless. maybe. probably not.

at the end of the day a high risk is only worth it if their is a high reward, and even if he insanely over-killed the boss one of every 5 runs, that still sucks compared to teams that can consistently farm 95%+ of the time.

compare with luci who spawns 3 heal...

compared to luci who does 220,850 more damage and at a fixed rate
and his LS is a worse than Oku who everybody seems to hate for no good reason and his awoken skills and stats are pretty sh*t

The CD is too high regardless. That skill is just terrible. He doesn't even have any attack.

Yes.

Trick question! It's a herm that goes by Pat!:D

Because I can't really tell, i like to think of him as a guy :P But, i guess that's just me.

Please don't buy farmable stuff with your MP!

To be honest even Okuninushi could do better if you had him.

1 year on, still no Uevo..... Sucks because I like these combo-up-to-4x monsters. Pushing his weighted stats up to 700-750 would be so great!

I never got this guy but did max skill his skillup mat, who occasionally finds a spot since dark is my weakest colour so far, followed by wood. (though once pushed to level 99 those recent collab drops might change that.)

It was a temorary drop form the REM, some kinda special event along with Chrono turtle...

He might be a decent sub for Okuninushi if you don't have Yomi.

to you and everyone else comparing him to luci and oku, you cant even do that. That's like saying

"Well, Orochi's active is a lot better than echidna's active AND kagu's leader is a lot better than echidna's leader skill... Therefore, echidna sucks and should never be used....ever"

cut him some slack. He's 17 cost which is a perfect niche for Xuanzang. Plus, his active, like magicians, is reliable since you ALWAYS get the same number of darks instead of sometimes getting 2139814 darks and other times getting zero (i.e using Vamp on a board with 10 heart orbs and then again when the board has zero heart orbs)


to wrap it up, if gamble mage sucks cuz you compare him to two monsters, so does basically every other monster

*Leader skill could be improve, there are much more better leads, but it's a 5 stars so that's good
*Luci's skill is 20 turn(max) while this is 4 turn(max)/10 turn(min), faster nukes which also mean smaller, so depends on your need, stalling for luci sometimes can be troublesome, so the better one depend on the team's need. Beside the nuke, there's also the 3 dark orbs that can help teams like some Chinese Gods, U&Y, or those new gods even Kali (I believe).
*Awoken skills could be useful for some teams which can be a little more than decent, not the best but it's jack of all trades...somewhat
*For a 5 stars, the stats does not suck, it's decent HP, high ATK, and above decent RCV. Obviously comparing to other 6-7 stars, his HP is a little low but ATK and RCV is still decent.
*As of being a REM monster, I prefer this over half of the REM's trashes such as golems, sirens, swordmens, etc. There are many other worst monster than this little five star guy/gal with only 17 cost that can be use for low cost dungeons.

its true that each one of those is better than part of him... but he only takes up one slot on your team while you would need 2 for oku AND luci!

I feel like when this card debuted it would have been top tier. It wasn't that long ago that Ronias were still viable end game teams at 6.25x, and a pair of Gamble Mages for 16x LS comes without a type restriction. Really a shame that cards like this never had a chance to shine before the creep has crept up to over 100x.
