If you're wondering who to master as a mage, Eudora is the best deal on offer for beginners. She is easy to learn and is an ultra mage when it comes to damage. She is a resourceful hero who can slot into many aspects of gameplay through support and has a skill combination that is adaptable, functional and accomplished in gameplay.
Her skill set may be employed in diversity and she is considered an early to late game hero which adds to her many advantages. For only 6500 Battle Points, she is well worth the purchase and is a fun hero to play, especially for newbies trying to understand the complexity of ML gameplay.
Strengths
- Easy to Master - Unlike other heroes, Eudora is easy to learn in both gameplay and situations. As a high damage support, she may provide a wide range of assistance in different capacities which may seem complex but are really easy to execute.
- Skill Combination - Her skills work in perfect tandem, from stun to damage and has the scope to extinguish an opponent if perfectly executed. Eudora is not the only mage with this advantage but is one who is easy to master in this regard.
- Power in Damage - Her damage speaks for itself. Eudora has immense damage that is strikingly penetrative. This proposes an extra dimension in her strength over lanes. She can poke and harass opponents as well as clear up lanes faster than your average mage.
- Crowd Control - Her First and Ultimate Skills have the capacity to deal damage to a number of heroes in range and vicinity. This is a strength of Eudora that is overlooked since she is a squishy damage dealer that requires range that may provide safe passage for retreat.
- Early Game Hero - Eudora has the capability to dominate battle from the very early stages of battle. Her damage is visible and her presence is felt from the start, unlike other heroes who depend on build and items.
- Skill Cooldown - Her skills have a fast cooldown rate that is very handy as she can spam attacks during team fights that have immense value to teammates in battle.
Weaknesses
- Squishy - As a high damage dealer, Eudora is squishy and lacks offensive mechanisms. Understanding this and staying at a safe distance is crucial. It also requires map reading skills in plotting out opponent damage dealers locations.
- Mobility - Eudora is slow and depends on her stun and other skills to get away from opponents. In most cases, it is safe to play her from a safe distance, with the turrets for help.
- Easily Countered - As a very basic hero, she is well-known and easily countered by a vast number of gamers. Playing her requires patience that many lack but she is still a flexible and versatile hero who can use her teammates to her advantage in battle.
- Late Game - During the late game, when other opponents are at their peak, Eudora is awfully soft and squishy.
- Team Dependent - Though not really dependent on build in some way, Eudora is a very team dependent hero since she is a Support Hero. Although she has extreme damage, she lacks the capacity to lead and carry games which can be frustrating if teammates are not up to standard in the role they are taking on.
Stocked with this understanding of Eudora, let's have a look at her Top 3 Builds that win games.
3. Team Buff
As a Team Buff you’re adding value to the team as a support system that allows other heroes to carry out their roles efficiently. That's the key ingredient you bring to a team when utilizing this build. It is not an assault build and your focus shouldn’t be on harassing and attacking.
This is a build for those who are trying to understand Eudora or newbies who are still trying to figure out how to employ Eudora in different aspects of battle. It is not a build to engage directly with opponents but is one to slow opponent gameplay and disrupt their goals in lanes and farm. Regardless of the purpose of this build, it is a powerful attack build that lacks depth and is rather team dependent.
Use this build if.
- You’re new to Eudora - Since this build offers support, it allows you to play behind teammates and have a feel of her gameplay. The items are enough to bring out her damage but not in a violent or deadly approach that her skills are capable of dealing.
- You have a complete team line up - Use this build if you have a complete team where goals and objectives are evenly distributed with you backing up. This is a tanky build for a rather squishy hero.
- You’re playing Support - As you may have already gathered, this is a support build meant to help teammates in their goals and objectives. Utilizing Eudora’s burst in damage and stun can help in team fights.
Use this build if you’re taking on high damage dealers, as it offers close proximity to your teammates who may protect you throughout the course of battle.
