The Arrival of Snowzilla

Well, over the break I got lucky and rolled a Snowzilla on a regular 500 HB roll.  When I first saw it, I thought it was just some holiday novelty character.  Then, I saw he was a Legend level character and decided to figure him out before treating him like a sacrifice.

I was initially unimpressed.  I took him out with my level 89 Druid on some raids in order to level him up, and he just kept getting killed again and again.  And, his special snowballs just whacked into all the walls rather than hitting actual good targets.  It seemed pretty lame, but I thought I could maybe use him as a tank of sorts.

Then, came the update on Dec. 19 where they increased Snowzilla's Base ATK and
made it so Snowzilla's skill will no longer be able to attack walls.  Well, those were some critical changes.  I was glad I had kept on levelling him up.

This is still in process.  He's up to level 71, and I may push him above 80 before I push my Champion who has been sitting on 80 forever over.  My Snowzilla's secondary skill is a 20% sprint which has some advantages in the arena.

Anyway, this has been my main focus aside from the Here Be Monsters feature.  I keep getting wiped out at D-5 which has proven a useful method of levelling when my dungeon options are run out.
