    The Dino seems to me like tailor-made against Sentry bombing. Can't be downed in a single WR& Sac combo, and the purple animation triggers ultra often and takes lots of time, so Sentry teams risk being attacked while hopping. Still, not sure you'll see lots of defensive wins with this one, even if people will probably look for easier targets first.

    Dino's like the 4* Hulk. Tons of HP, and probably won't kill you with his abilities, but because he's a 4* the match damage hurts when maxed.

    Works well with a +1 ALL AP boost

    Uh, the match damage for a 4* is literally only 3 more damage per tile compared to a 3*.

    So, as discussed before, the big red guy is mostly a joke/trophy character, and not very useful. What are the chances he'll ever be Essential in a PVE or that I will ever "need" Devil Dino for some other reason? I'm thinking of parting with him, as the slot is more precious than his puny bite.

    Thanks.

    Nope...he'll never be a featured character. They may boost him for a PVE, but I don't think he'll ever be in a required node.

    While he may be a trophy prize he is still a 4* character with awesome amounts of health, and an awesome purple icon_lol.gif

    Are you sure you dont have someone else you could sale before dino? I would try to keep him if possible.

    I have avoided him before, not for his health but for the amount of time each match he spends waving his arms icon_e_smile.gif
    That said mine is a impressive 0/2/5 after anniversary week and has no chance at being useful, dunno, collector in me says keep him, realist says he will likely never be that important. Flip a coin, let it guide you.

    Honestly, Dino is even less scary than Hulk because other than HP he's not a real threat. If anyone has them on their defensive team that's an insta-go for me because that's one character I can leave while I pick which of the other two to kill first. It may take a little bit to knock him out, so if you're going for speed he can be a deterrent, but he's definitely not a defensive deterrent. I definitely won't be investing in him as a 4* with Lady Thor coming out..

    He's currently (and for the foreseeable future) the best scarecrow for endgame shieldhopping. You need two sentry bombs instead of one to kill him.

    I'm having fun pairing Devil Dino with 2 star.png Wolverine and my 1 cover Hood in "Unholy Outlaw".

    I use Wolverine until his health gets low, then switch to Devil Dino until I can get Wolverine's health back up. Keep in mind, I'm still leveling my 2 star.png characters to 94.

    I don't think they would make him an essential character before having him as a reward in a pve, similar to the way fury had his "release" event and then was essential in some nodes in the following pve. Whether you think you'd be able to win him or not is up to you to decide, but it seems far enough off (if it would ever even happen) since the devs have shown they value new characters and already have the next 4* in the works with Thor/goddess.

    He's not a defensive deterrent. He is truly an anti Sentry bomb to snipe deterrent. I put him to use in the Hood pvp, and I can attest to the fact that it takes people almost twice as long to beat the team using sentry, than a normal team. I don't care about defensive wins. I care about being sniped while I am out. And to that end, he is good for being a meat shield. Also, his purple at 3 ap is a time waster, so it takes that much longer to beat the team because he is dancing around. No, he isn't a top tier character, but D3 has already said that he is a novelty, and not a serious character. People complain that he should do more damage, but you have to remember that they made him as a novelty. He costs less than the other 4*'s to level up for a reason. He isn't going to be the character you pick over another character when the stakes are high. He will be used for fun like he was designed for, and if you think you will get far by using him seriously, then you are in for a rude awakening. When they finally decide to change Sentry, we will see how the dancing dino fairs for use. Until then, he will be on my hop team for anti-sniping purposes if I can spare the slot. If not, no harm, no foul as he was meant as a fun character anyway.

    He could be featured in an Off Season PvP though. Since he is fun.

    When maxed he is not so useless. I could play a lot of matches with him, as a filler (SIM) and was quite happy to have him.

    That's great. But you can really only do that in three PVPs--Unholy Outlaw, Starfall and No Holds Barred. Four if you count Fatal Attraction but most high rollers prefer to run Sentry/Hood to Sentry/Daken.

    It should also be pointed out that all 3 colors will be available on day 365, 366 and 367.

    Whoa how many hit points would he have when boosted & maxed??? Those fights would be very very long without using Punisher to put a cap in his **** with Retribution :-p

    I've used him a few times (and now he is used in The Hunt as needed character) and frankly, he is not that bad. He's not over the top, but he is more useful than IW icon_e_smile.gif

    You have to choose when to use him. But he lasts long, and you can use him for many matches before he becomes too weak to play.

    In either Sentry or Hood (Where your 3rd person doesn't matter) He's a real pain in the **** because of his HP. Beating him isn't an issue it's how much time it takes.

    Slobofix had a dino in Hood PvP and although I had no issues 6 times in a row the 7th time took too long and I got my brains sniped out by the vultures.
