Nivus... Is finally done... My god that was awful. I tried Emberspike Depths at least five times before I finally defeated Umbra, and it was with six lives. It wasn't entirely Nivus' fault, though. Anyways, I'll try to be unbiased in my review after that fiasco.
I can't think of a good rating for him off the top of my head, so I'll categorize.
Firstly, mobility. 8/10. His teleport is obviously very good for mobility, but his teleport animation is long and his walk speed is very slow. About what you'd expect from an old man.
Damage, 6/10. I would expect more from a character that has 250 health at level ten. Even Lord Malagar's zap can oneshot him. (Surprisingly, Umbra's doesn't.) His magic damage is long range, but that doesn't make up for the fact that he's about as strong as a level 3 mage tower or Necromancer tower.
Skills 5/10. Magic Missile is alright, but it's a bit underwhelming. His chain spell is almost negligible, especially in later stages. And his disintegrating spell is just.. not good. It can't disintegrate a single enemy like Sha'tra or Vez'nan can, it just disintegrates a few low health enemies. It's helped a few times, but it's not a game changer by any means.
Stalling. 1/10. What can I say here? His low melee damage and low HP means he can't stall for shit.
Overall.. 6/10. A generous 6/10. He's very underwhelming compared to what he could be. If he dealt ANY true damage, like with Magic Missile, he would be a 7/10. He doesn't feel very strong compared to most heroes.
that was. insanely difficult
nivus was near useless here (he would get shreddded on the left by all the poukai riders and savage hunters, and all the spiders on the right are, of course, high magic resistance.
in hindsight maybe i should have NOT put so many points into reinforcements but they helped nivus a lot in the early game with his glass cannon lookin ass.
Only two more jungle stages left!
