I love this whole franchise

[Tehboss]

I have all the characters. Just trying to keep it that way.

Il bous plus d’argent pour les amélioration des niveau de personnage… More money for free to play

[Kira]

I would like to say, the option to select “Limited Resources” or to say “Didn’t have enough resources to invest in him” option is kind of missing for me unfortunately.
So yeah, can’t really select anything in the reasons for why I skipped Kuzco as my reasons of limited resources isn’t there.

Very good character, but as an F2P I can’t invest in every new character that comes out.

That said, happy that Kuzco has gotten added as he is a cool character to have in the game :-).

[Hypersayia]

Short version : Kuzco is ridiculously powerful… and that’s basically it.

I got him mostly for the resources that the prize wall quests give and I’m building him mostly because I know he’ll, once again, be meta defining.
My issues with that are well documented to the point where I have a whole thread calling it out.

[Pipsqueak]

@Kira

Limited Resources

100% agree, there’s a big difference between getting him to Y0, or getting him to a useable rank

I’ve answered as best I can but am also in that group of players

[Ozi_swag]

I’m glad he came in the game alright but there’s a certain character I would like to see come in the game

[dexter_harris]

totally good

[dexter_harris]

lets who comes next after dante

[Jody_Caviness]

Adding my two cents on questions that didn’t have (IMHO) sufficient options:

What influenced my decision to get Kuzco? I had a feeling that his friendship stories and skill animations would be fun, and his skills would be useful, but admittedly it was mostly the stats, which are, as has been the case for recent heroes and some recent refreshes, just off the charts. (Also, I’d look askance at anyone choosing “I heard that this Hero was good”, as until he had actually been out for a couple of days, most of the influential players were saying he looked just OK, nothing special.)

The correct answer to what makes Cruise Control strong is each of the first three choices. I suspect that right now the True Damage is the main draw, but as power creep continues galloping it will eventually be the starting Energy that’s most useful.

@Kira

the option to select “Limited Resources” or to say “Didn’t have enough resources to invest in him” option is kind of missing for me unfortunately.

That, sadly, wouldn’t give them data that they want to act on.

@Hypersayia

My issues with that are well documented to the point where I have a whole thread calling it out.

A thread I chimed in on with wholehearted agreement. Thanks for that.

@Pipsqueak

getting him to Y0, or getting him to a useable rank

Kuzco is so strong that he can get his Cruise Control disk at Y0, and that alone makes him usable, if not necessarily hyper-OP.

P.S. Obviously Kuzco’s disks have the wrong names, but given what happened when PerBlue tried to correct that issue with Statler & Waldorf’s disks, I think we ought to leave well enough alone this time.

[Ambrose]

He’s strong, his stats are great, love his disks. Great job!

[Basketcasejay]

His dorge is great

[Seer]

I’m happy for Kuzco my childhood show! I hope they add Malina

[CaptBenson]

needs a ‘i wanted to collect ALL the heroes’ option bc none of the above are actually relevant to me.

[KIM_JONG_KOOK_2]

The hero was good useful to my team but if they add encanto is great

[Musketeer-Endgame]

@Samm

Which of Kuzco’s Memory Disks do you think are strong? (select all that apply)

I just want to say, disk names are swapped again.
Cruise happen in friendship with Amelia, not Carl.
Carl was the party stopped.

@Samm

What mode do you hope to use this character for? (select all that apply)

Heist? Heist is dead. Abandoned by devs and players alike. Unless there will be update to heist…

[Musketeer-Endgame]

@Michaelwashere12

A Bug’s Life hero

We got two, Hopper and Flik.

[Kai_Hayabusa]

I wish they add Randy Cunningham in battle mode

[Musketeer-Endgame]

@Samm

prepare the Heroes for 2024,

Hopefully this won’t be ignored and Amphibia, The Owl House, Encanto, GF will be added next year. Gadget if it can… could be fun.

for Cruella finally joining, as well as Elemental - Ember and Wade.
And expanding on Robinsons with Lewis, and Phineas and Ferb with titular characters along with Doof, and finally… Ratigan from The Great Mouse Detective! Another fun 00’s movie… Brother Bear.

Oh, and, where are the cats, Oliver (and Dodger), are you somewhere here? Aristocats?
