I mostly play as Regulus, and I have to say, UB and Erebus are already strong as heck against Regulus, adding this into the mix could turn more Reg players back to Sedna/Oak players. Also, I don't play Rook, but this appears to royally screw over tower Rooks.
Maybe. If you both max mines, ard use them wisely, you'll have a good chance, but bite is very annoying.

Speaking as a Reg player, UB's spit is extremely annoying. They just spit on you, sit on the flag, spit on you, sit on the flag. All your money goes into potions. Symbol of Purity takes forever to cooldown, and is only slightly useful in the early game, terrible in the late game when spit isn't so bad. Of course, if you play as anyone else, spit isn't bad at all. Oak shield, Senda heal, Rook camps behind towers, and can transfer health.
I've seen UB's capable of tanking me and my tower when I play as reg.
Regulus mines are perfect, quit complaining. Anyone melts his face in combat, and then when they get mined they start whining.
They are useful if you're being a loner a bunch during the game. Because it allows you to easily spot mines and incoming ambushes.
'Erebus will get severely outlevelled if he is not actively farming creeps or winning flags. Your assertion is untrue.' Erebus can just hide safely behind his mininons to level up. Assertion stands. (Quote button doesn't seem to like Chrome) To an extent, the same applies to tower rooks, I suppose, they can hide behind a tower farm and just idle while their tower farm farms creeps.
It's actualy pretty stupid that Erebus can just hide the whole game while still gaining levels until he has an unstoppable army of minions which completely equal or outclass him in every way. It's like facing two demigods.
I was playing with an Oak teammate, and mostly relied on his AOE to take care of Nightwalkers, but Nature's Reckoning just helps Senda even out her weakness better. Oak SoF + Fortress w/splash + Sedna w/NR + our minions = quickly dead nightwalkers. Once the nightwalkers were dead, it was easy to push Erebus out of the field and farm the lanes. In a game of fortress, it doesn't matter how much HP you stack if you can't keep nightwalkers from killing your forts.&nbs
I just grabbed Nature's Reckoning in a fierce battle against Erebus' minions, it has a 15% chance to do 250 damage to surrounding enemies, I think it was instrumental in our hard earned victory. Also, always leave some minions in a lane while you shop or travel to help a teammate.
"Two generals annoying you with minions? Your aoe just got twice as effective." Your AOE just got 'half' as effective.
I think it may work better if only one of each demigod were allowed in a game. Quite often, the only counter to doubles is to avoid confronting them altogether, especially if they both have stuns, shields or heals. If both doubles are competent, the game isn't fun at all, and frequently feels hopeless, it's like one super demigod with neverending skill use. If neither one is particularly good, (or the demis they chose are very weak) t
Just played a game of fortress on Prison, and Erebus did nothing at all other than use his minions against our buildings. It was impossbly stupid. His minions could take out half a fortress before my minions killed them. I was Sedna, with Yeti, and had 3 levels of building upgrades, and 1 firepower upgrade, and even if I joined in using my aura, it took forever to kill them. Stupid Erebus never bothered to leave farming our creeps, and I couldn't farm at all,
I don't know why, but occasionally, my sound gets stuck playing nothing but ambient noise, rushing wind, etc. and no other sound seems to play. I'm using RealtekHD on an EVGA 680 SLI board, if that helps. I don't know if it's an issue with this game, or not.
Next time I encountered Erebus swarm, I started a minion build, which helped, but it made me remarkably squishy. Also, the mess of minions made it difficult to target heals. But it did seem slightly better than before.
I can't foresee my opponents in Pantheon, but thanks for your input.
Played a game on Prison against two vamps as Sedna with an AA Reg, got an early kill, but once they both had their minions going, it was impossible. Any strategies to counter the Erebus minion swarm as Sedna?
Erebus/UB combo is pretty tough, especially when Erebus' minions can kill you on their own.
Sedna is my way of cheering up after UB eats my Reguluses. :)
I accidentally the whole citidel.
As Reg, I tend to use stats to minimise my dependence on mana and health items, which allows me to focus on spending money on damage items, or depending on how the game is going, cit upgrades, etc. This way I not only have slightly upgraded survivability and mana regen, without spending gold on it, but also attack speed and tons more damage. However, skills are almost always necessary, and mostly depend on the game, facing support characters, MoB is perfect; against minion
In dominate, I've found AoF is gives slightly better staying power at flags than mines on maps like Crucible. But, if you are playing Dominate on Crucible, you gonna have a tough time any which way as Regulus.
Mark is great when Ereubs decides to mist out of desperation. :)
TB's range keeps him away from mines most of the time, which pretty much negates Reg's biggest weapon.
Mines can be avoided, most of TB's powers can't. Now if anyone has any intelligent advice, I'd like to hear it. I just don't know how to beat TB in a dominate gametype. I've played like 3 today, just played one where the TB had QoT along the whole time, while I had another Reg, making it absolutely impossible to do anything, on Citidel, no less. Either don't make stupid matchups like that if possible, or allow everyone to choose their demi after
