I'm using Cthuwu in the current Rush event, and he works pretty well as long as you bring two healers. I've been using Insanity heroes since they came out and the ones you need to watch for are Atwood (since he hits up to three of your team, and then gives himself more insanity, he can keep going crazy over and over), and Omen (since he can fiend your whole team, if you don't have healers or fiend removers ready). Delores is great except against purple minion lady (since she will likely steal her power). If she has a lot of of Insanity, I have a dispeller ready to go right after her. When the enemy is down a few heroes I let them go crazy to throw insanity points all over the enemy, which can work really well.
Hi Norbert 👋 thanks so much for the feedback on Cthuwu and hoe u use the Insanity heroes that's super helpful! My faves have always been Hunter and Dolores cause I feel like they are the best at countering themselves or 'managing' the insanity effect. Interesting to hear that Atwood is such a liability. I know they slightly nerfed him a while back so now I'm curious as to why. Thanks so much again for the feedback. Pinned! 🍻
I just don't understand the net benefit of this family of heroes. They inflict a little bit of insanity on enemies, but they self-inflict far more than that on themselves. I am looking for a silver lining, but I don't see it. Someone please help me understand!
Another great video my man. SG is doing me a favor by increasing the gems cost for making pulls. I've cut back and when I look at 450 for a single pull and 3900 for a ten pull. I don't even give it a thought. So if they keep that up I think it will turn away even more people. Anyways, nice to have you back doing videos mate and hope you enjoyed your trip and your holidays. Keep up the great work as always!!
@@limey7066 Thanks Limey 😊 🙏 I am glad 2 be back too. Strange.. I didn't even notice the gem cost till you mentioned it 😅 😂 but ur right that is ridiculous!!
Hi McN! Glad you are back, sorry I've been out of it cuz I just had eye surgery and haven't been able to play much . Hoping to be up and running in a wk. Thank you for your great videos,
fun fact: Shoggo and Cthuwu are based on H.P. Lovecraft novels, specifically Shoggoth and Cthulhu. Love they went full HP Lovecraft on this quest (the story gets pretty dark, see it for yourself!)
That's awesome! Thanks for the insight I really have to read this now and I'm still working so yet to start the quest but will pay close attention Thanks 🍻
Thanks so much! Unfortunately I did miss her in the portal due to timing. She seems pretty solid from what i saw though, healing and damage reduction is definitely a strong combo. Ill make sure I go over her card next time the Astral portal comes round. 🍻
Lol He It Whatever that thing is is great 😅 Great idea for a top 10 too but I think we will be seeing a lot more of the insanity bunch released now with the event so I'd rather wait a bit and see a few more insano's first 😉 thanks m8 🍻
Did 2 10 pulls .. got trash 1st one.. 2nd one i got the 3x bonus.. got Atwood..Dolores..Finley with costume.. I need good green heroes ..so Atwood was nice to get. Welcome back my brother..
I just want to add something about this summon I didn’t know. It says if you draw a legendary hero, you get 3 bonus draws, each with a 30% chance to draw another legendary hero. I thought that meant you would get 3 draws whether legendary or not. That is not the case. If you draw legendary you get 3 draws that only have a 30% chance for the extra legendary. I drew a legendary and received no other summons. The wording is misleading.
Yeah thanks Colin. I did mention this in a previous video. It's very sneaky and a few people have already complained and wrote to the devs about this. I don't understand why they didn't just stick with the 2x. Well I do but the tactic is make it look better as 3x but the odds are only at 30% idk we will see if there is any response thanks for your feedback 👍
@ thank you for your content! Pretty much the only empires videos I watch, and I just got into the game just over a couple years ago. So I appreciate someone putting out informative content. Keep it up!
@@McNaultyYT i was thinking the same, because 95 % of my pulls are holy heroes and it's gonna be a loong time to ascend next one. Him and shogo are my first insenity heroes so they will be waiting for a year maybe :) thanks bro
Ngl why does the 3* looks like they were running out of time and the whole team had to design and they just mushed it up into 1 hero 😂😂 Btw Shoutout to my dad cuz he got Maegwyn which here is the special skill: Heals 50% to all Allie’s Boost hp 500 for 3 turns -15% attack reduction ( she’s a cleric it’s the girl carrying a barrel green)
Got the 3* with one free pull from the event coins. I'm not really sold on these heroes though... I have Rashan already but haven't levelled him because of his own insanity and him damaging himself and the team. That and the expensive portal make it so that spending here seems like a waist... And I finally got that subscription going ;)
Hey Anna! Tysm for your membership thats fantastic! I agree totally, im not a huge fan of the insanity bunch overall. They need to reduce or remove the self inflicting altogether. The 3 star is the best of the bunch IMO im sure he'll be fun to mess around with 🍻
@@McNaultyYTdecided to do one pull with gems and got Gastille and Milady de Winter 🤯🤯🤯 Só of course I went for a second pull and than got Hunter and Februus! Crazy!
Hey Mc Naulty 👋🏼. Sorry, I can't get with these insanity heroes. Don't like the effect at all. Too much work. I did pull the three star guy. Way too ugly, lol. I'm probably just gonna feed him out. I'm trading out all of the insanity heroes that I get. You can defend against or heal away insanity, especially with Hathor, Faez, etc The problem for me comes in using them and inflicting damage on yourself if you're not careful... and I'm not careful enough. Almost killed my whole team using rashan. 😂
Lol 😂 thanks for the feedback I think many share your sentiments about these guys. I wouldn't feed em away but I do think that eventually the devs will have to 'balance' them cause folks like yourself aren't gonna be as interested in pulling heroes that can destroy their own teams 😅😅😅 cheers for the comments 🍻
I am sorry for being a hard critique, but the 5* and 4* are garbage. Giving only 10 insanity, on average and getting 50+ insanity themselves, means a simple healing make it all go away, and to give this healing only 10% chance to go bad... the cards are a joke, you need to address better these heroes.
I agree on this. One thing I love about McNaulty's watchers' comments is that I get just as much of a chance to read about people I disagree with as I do seeing from those I agree with. That makes me a smarter player than I'd normally be XD

Great video! I would love to hear your thoughts on Maegwyn who was recently released. I don't think you did a video on her unless I missed something.
Thanks so much! Unfortunately I did miss her in the portal due to timing. She seems pretty solid from what i saw though, healing and damage reduction is definitely a strong combo. Ill make sure I go over her card next time the Astral portal comes round. 🍻
I love the 3*. He? Is awesome. You should make a top 10 insanity hero list.

Cthuwu looks fantastic! I’m hoping I can pull him. I’m pleasantly surprised that they introduced a 4* and 3* in the portal instead of pushing more 5*.
Agreed 💯 he's the one I'd want.
I got the 3* brain dude.
Did 2 10 pulls .. got trash 1st one.. 2nd one i got the 3x bonus.. got Atwood..Dolores..Finley with costume.. I need good green heroes ..so Atwood was nice to get.

Hi Jesus! That's a solid result! 💪 I think both atwood and Dolores are 2 of the best insanity heroes and ofc I love my CFINLEY💙 Congrats buddy! 👏

@@aleksandarmijailovic5274 hey thanks for the q. He's good but not great cause of the insanity. I'd do Gwyn first then decide between him and Thura.

How do you see the fully Maxed Aether Talent of hero from the portal ? It doesn’t show in mine ..
There's an icon you can click in the top left corner when you pull up the card.
@ Thank you, I found it …
cthuwu reminds of babidi for some reason lol
Ngl why does the 3* looks like they were running out of time and the whole team had to design and they just mushed it up into 1 hero 😂😂
Btw Shoutout to my dad cuz he got Maegwyn which here is the special skill:
Heals 50% to all Allie’s
Boost hp 500 for 3 turns
-15% attack reduction
( she’s a cleric it’s the girl carrying a barrel green)
Congrats on Maegwyn she seems amazing! And yep that is a pretty accurate picture of how they might've come up with that monstrosity 😅😅😅 thanks m8 🍻
