Why is Alexander so undervalued???

☆☆☆☆ Join date : 2012-11-12 Posts : 679

I was wondering: since Alexander is so unpopular stat-wise, wouldn't he be a good trading chip as a feeder, like Fiona? Imagine a top player with more fresh 6* than she/he knows what to do with. Wouldn't trading one of these fresh 6*'s - say, Rein, Charles or Doro - for a max Alex be a good deal for both parties? The top player can feed Alex to her/his new shiny event prize, and the one who maxed Alex walks away with a more tradable 6*. Considering what top players pay in TE to buy maxed 4*, I don't think they would lose anything, and it would be a very quick trade.

Thoughts?

Everyone please keep hating Alexander, because I just lost him AGAIN in a trade and will need him back at a later date as a backup 6*. So if you guys could start devaluing him to say, 50TE or less, that would be great. Smile

I'll start the bashing! Alexander, you are a bad, bad man! You are so slow and suck the big one! I hate you soooo much because of your 200 range and because your area attack takes out more than one enemy at once! You totally got me po'd when you would attack both sides of 25-3 and take care of stray enemies after they almost got away! Same for when you attacked enemies as they almost made the red screen exit on the newer levels. Totally stupid! Hate hate hate Smile

Is selling Alexander really that difficult? I don't feel it is. People are just very confused about the prices at the moment because fanta hasn't pumped any te to free players in awhile, so the te balance out of wack. Buying players are buying lots of packs (from what I've seen the top 10 players are buying WAAAAY to many packs) and getting tons of the generic 6*'s, so there is just a plethora of them at the moment, and they are having problems selling them because there are so many on the market and not enough free players that can afford because of te shortage. Thus, that is why I feel we see the trades for m5*'s, m4*'s, etc. for these 6*'s being so common. It is in my opinion that once te is pumped back into the market, it will make more sense to the people wondering why prices are dropping. Just keep all your te in collateral/cards, and it doesn't matter no matter what time of year... so long as your card's stats aren't replaced with a newer, more impressive le card lol

So using alexander for a 6* feeder? Maybe.... but I don't think it will be the norm for anyone except the ~~crazies~~rich individuals that spend thousands on events

I dont undervalue Alex that much. He's good when you partner him with slow and poison units...

Unless I'm mistaken, aren't they both E speed, so they'd be the same? Or are some E speeds faster than others?

Regardless - I do have to say that this is a blatant example of "power creep", every one of her stats is higher, with the same ability, and a lower deploy cost... lol.

Power creep aside, Alexander's stats are low to began with, having higher stats than him isn't really that impressive... The E speed is bad, but what make Alexander really bad is his missile speed. When he "throws" his spear it just glides slowly to his target Rolling Eyes

that android has 200 range. she will be epic at what aa does best, defense breaking. Also it's doubtful a canon shot will be slow motionwise, heidemarie will be a better comparison.

If you pay me 25 TE, I will take that sad excuse of a card off your hands. He's not even worth feeding to other cards...he may contaminate them. D:

But all kidding aside, his price has dropped so much...I saw one going fresh for 50 TE two days ago. It did get sold from what I could tell so people are still buying...at the right price.

He is the cheapest 6* that I have seen, and other then his terribad E Speed he seems to have solid stats with an area attack to boot.

Is there something I am missing? Does his attack lag kinda like Helmut's?

Just thought I would look for some advice before I pursue him

See This.

There's so many reasons to hate him. Hahah

I can give you a few good reasons why Alexander is not favoured as a 6*

1. His speed is rank E. Cards these days that have area attack (with the exception of Hildegarde and the AF hildemarie) all have D speed, which is VERY helpful during arena.

2. Adding on to the first reason, although E speed, it's the projectile speed which buggers people off THE most. That cursed spear moves at the speed of negative-light.

3. His stats are quite horrible for a 6* (I know he's one of those very early 6*'s introduced into the game, but people overlook that reason). Quests and events are getting more challenging, so people will need allies/units that will do the job for them. If i recall, i don't think Alexander got ANY of those jobs done (unfortunately).

Alexander is superpopular tbh, u never see a whole thread about any other 6* do we?
He's definitely most discussed.

We just all love him. <3
