What's your favorite MkII?

Personally, I think Cassyva’s Mk2 is the most badass. The way she attacks, it carries a lot of oomph and weight to it. But that’s just me. What do you guys think? :smiley:

I personally love Vaath but Cassy is a little over the top and i really am not a fan of that disign.

Faie has a cool skin (i like the simpler ones) Kara has a decent one but she was a clusterf*ck before and they coudt add anything to flashy to the armor.

The Kealos skin is amazing…the summoning animation looks the best of all of them.

Well, my personal favorites are the Vetruvian generals armors, especially Sajj one. I really like fire weapons and they’re very cool looking… Zirix attack animation is pretty dank in comparision with his original one as well. I’m holding myself to not waste my spirit on those armors :smiley:.

I liked the faie animation a lot too, mostly because her original animation is kinda meh (she just flashes and that’s it…).

Magmar and Vetruvian MKII are my favorites so far, but I haven’t really seen all the of the animations yet to make a full decision :slight_smile:

Do we have a collection of all MkII animations? It seems that duelystdb doesn’t have them.

I’m a huge fan of Kaleos’s, he goes full General Grevious on people.

It’s not perfect, but here you go.

I wanted to edit something once on the wiki, but it was a mess, so I gave up. Hopefully the animations will be visible in the store, just like they are for cards in your Collection Manager, you know?

Faie, Sajj and Kaleos imo

Superb, thank you!

My favourite is Starhorn’s because he is my favourite general and I love the aesthetic of summoning an ethereal staff and smashing someone over the head with it.

I’m probably biased because my main from the beginning was vanar. But I like faie’s the most. Kaleos is a close second though

If I were to rank them it would probably be:
Faie > sajj > lilithe > zirix > kaelos > ziran > vaath > reva > argeon > cassy > star horn > kara. Just my personal opinion ofc.

Argeon

  • Aesthetic: C- (like the bulkier look, but looks too similar to original)
  • Idle: F
  • Casting: F-
  • Attacking: F

Zi’ran

  • Aesthetic: B-
  • Idle: A+
  • Casting: B+
  • Attacking: B+

Kaleos

  • Aesthetic: S+ (Best; made me want to pick-up Songhai)
  • Idle: A+
  • Casting: B+
  • Attacking: A+

Reva

  • Aesthetic: C- (imo, bulkier look doesn’t fit with her style)
  • Idle: D
  • Casting: B+
  • Attacking: C+ (somewhat stiff)

Zirix

  • Aesthetic: B (already liked his original; tastefully refined)
  • Idle: A+ (much more active and interesting stance)
  • Casting: S+ (Best)
  • Attacking: B+

Sajj

  • Aesthetic: C (really wish they would’ve done something more interesting)
  • Idle: D
  • Casting: B+
  • Attacking: C- (too flashy/busy for my taste)

Lilithe

  • Aesthetic: D- (way too similar to original)
  • Idle: F (identical to original, very boring)
  • Casting: D+
  • Attacking: A+ (huge improvement from her original)

Cassyva

  • Aesthetic: B+ (love how different she looks, especially because I think her original design is rather cringy)
  • Idle: B- (perhaps a little too busy)
  • Casting: C+
  • Attacking: F (I mostly like it, but along with her movement animation, it’s extremely stiff/awkward when attacking/moving diagonally or vertically)

Vaath

  • Aesthetic: B+ (tastefully refined, brighter)
  • Idle: A+ (huge improvement over the awkward stance/slouch of original; much more active and interesting)
  • Casting: A+ (love this, only 2nd to Zirix)
  • Attacking: D (very uninteresting; how sexy would a giant battle axe or hammer have been?)

Starhorn

  • Aesthetic: F (I loved his less “warrior-ish”, robed aesthetic from his original)
  • Idle: C
  • Casting: C
  • Attacking: D (much too busy, more appropriate for Vaath)

Faie

  • Aesthetic: B+
  • Idle: B+
  • Casting: A+ (huge improvement over original)
  • Attacking: A+ (huge improvement over original)

Kara

  • Aesthetic: B+ (already loved the original, tastefully refined; love the detail/surging of the sword)
  • Idle: B+
  • Casting: A+ (simple but looks/feels perfect)
  • Attacking: A+

Overall

  • Must Have = Kaleos, Vaath, Zirix, Zi’ran, Faie, Kara
  • Meh = Reva, Cassyva, Sajj
  • Pass = Argeon, Starhorn, Lilithe

I completely agree with your list, though I really love Sajj’s attacking animation.

BUT I’m really disappointed in those MKII: I will definitely pick them up once I have the spirit for it (except Starhorn cmon) but I can’t help but feel really disappointed by the fact that Counterplay hasn’t changed MkII’s sound effects like they showcased in their video (time stamp: from the beginning)

I think they really outdid themselves in terms of hype for those skins. All I could ask on the patch notes were when they were coming out (as well as spec mode)
Jus for how awesome the sound design was.
But they kept none of them, resulting in the generals sounding very out of place because of how blend the original sound is.
I’m really looking forward to some kind of update. I gave up on waiting and bought myself Faie but her attack animation sounds nothing like what it does in the trailer.
So sad…

I know everybody hates Vaath this days but I think he’s the coolest with his new protectors! :hatching_chick:

I would 've liked alternative portaits with the skins too, but oh well… I love my ‘king’ Vaath skin! Next on my list would probably be Faie or Kara tbh…
