Well, nothing other than using Hakuna Matata in the wrong context.
Statler: (Dressed in furs) That Cruella looks like she dressed for the rock age
Waldorf: (also dressed in furs) looks at us, we look like we should be dressed for the stone age.
Both: Doh-ho-ho-ho
Can we also replace wildcards?
Still nothing on Server Merge
No! You canât do that!
I mean, yes. Yes, you can.
But separate them:
- Meilin Lee belongs to Turning Red.
- Bowler Hat Guy belongs to Meet The Robinsons.
- Luca and Alberto belongs to Pixarâs Luca.
- Percival McLeach belongs to The Rescuers.
- Bolt belongs to Disneyâs Bolt.
- Basil of the Baker Street belongs to The Great Mouse Detective.
- The Horned King belongs to The Black Cauldron.
- 22 belongs to Soul.
- And The Rocketeer belongs to Disneyâs The Rocketeer.
A complete waste of time and space. Highly unnecessary.
Update availableâŠ
Server update?
Am I the only one who noticed that this time Battle Pass started today after reset with Percivalâs Chips and 25 tiers??
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
STILL CANâT BELIEVE CRUELLAâS FINALLY IN THE GAME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS Iâm so happy
She looks very elegant, rightfully so! If only she had her signature smoke holder, thatâd really cinch her design, green smoke and all. Too bad Disneyâs been trying to sanitize the image of a fur obsessed, would-be-dog killer woman, since the live action remake with Emma Stone quite ridiculous, but eh, Iâm over it
I never thought about Scare being part of her kit (least, I"m pretty sure it wasnât one of the concepts I had a while ago), but itâs supremely fitting! especially since sheâs terrorized and scared so many generations of children since her inception (especially with Glenn Closeâs portrayal of her in the live action 90s movies - her cackling in the first one still gives me goosebumps to this day
And Cruellaâs cackling from the beginning of the movie after she roasts Roger and his songwriting cherry on top! Actually, Iâm really in love with how a lot of her kit draws from the first portion of the movie she appeared in! The aforementioned cackling, her reveling in her fur coat, and of course, writing a check (which seems like it took inspiration from the Sorcererâs Arena version of Cruella, who was able to instaKO enemies when she wrote a check )
And can we just talk about her Blue skill for a moment? This is the first time weâve had an echo ability like that, specifically Dr. Facilierâs own Blue Skill (Shadow Snake?), in which they can reuse the skill instantly if it KOs an enemy - very dastardly for Cruella, since she has supplemental Scares, and certainly much more refreshing than yet another character having a Green skill that has them yelling and Silencing enemies weâve already got about four or five of them at this rate
I recognize her pose in the Purple skill icon from the animated sequel movie when she bails Horace and Jasper out of jail!!! Enemies being constantly Scared while Cruellaâs nearby really does her character justice
While I am disappointed by the fact that her iconic mad driving skills are nowhere to be seen, or her car, or why Jasper and Horace are strangely unnamed in the descriptions (when similar characters, like Mother Gothel with the Stabbington Brothers, have them named), I am overall very happy with her skillset, especially since A, Cruella negates buffs in her White skill like in the concept I had for her all the way back in 2019 (I was still star struck when that concept was used for Colette!!!) , and B, her writing a check definitely reminds me of the gif I used in my concept when she was trying to write the check, but the blasted ink pen wouldnât work
I just cannot get over how fabulous Cruella looks in her Red Skill Iâm gonna have a dastardly time using her to wreck Eda teams
I just hope her Quote is fitting
Cruella for sure is going to synergize well with Mike Wazowski (his Red Skill makes it so that currently Scared enemies who get Scared again take 50% of their HP as damage - or well, something to that effect), and other Scarers. Oogie Boogieâs Randall Disk would certainly help with Slowing Scared enemies down, not to mention his Purple, which reduces the damage done by Scared enemies by 85%.
I just hope her âauraâ is big enough to Scare many enemies, like Kuzcoâs Sap with his âgroove auraâ (ooh, just realized she took inspo from Kuzco too!!!)
As for her Friendships, I am a little disappointed it wasnât with one of the other fashionable women of the City, like Yzma, whoâs just as skeletal as Cruella herself, but at least they are very fitting for Cruellaâs character:
-
Cruella teamed up with two different poachers in the live action 90s movies to help capture the Dalmatian puppies, so it makes sense that sheâd be buddy-buddy with Percival, who, like those poachers from the 90s movies, have no qualms about fulfilling orders for illegal oddities and rarities.
-
Shere Khan is a tiger, an animal who is unfortunately often targeted by poachers for their pelts because of âexotica,â so it makes sense for Cruella to have a âFriendship,â with Shere Khan, since she did, unfortunately, succeed in capturing and skinning a rare, protected, albino tiger in the first live action 90s movie, turning it into a rug
* In this case, it'd probably be the DHBM trope of Party A chases after Party B (usually a villain with a hero, like with Pete capturing Minnie, sometimes a villain teaming up with another villain, like with Maleficent and Ursula sparing Vanellope and Violet after the heroes saved them from Creeps) eventually Creeps descend and they're forced to work together, in which case, Party A relents in their pursuit of Party B... for now.
I just really hope Cruellaâs dramatic flair comes through in their Friendships, because I was severely disappointed with Shere Khanâs Friendship with Bagheera, and Percivalâs Friendship with Captain Hook was the biggest nothing burger Iâve come across
At least with Shere Khan, the story made sense contextually when compared to their movie, with the themes of working together and doubled edged nature of Man - Percival and Captain Hookâs story was just a drawn out conversation that went nowhere - there was absolutely no sense of progression, and it didnât even have a satisfying conclusion - it felt like there was more to the story, but there wasnât.
Oh well, while Iâm on the subject, Iâm looking forward to seeing how the Jungle Book cast gets rebalanced - hopefully Balooâs Disk from Simba and Nala gets some of those defensive buffs boosted again lol
Oh! And Iâm looking forward to seeing the Video Crates get improved
This is the part where I would also express my displeasure over new Hero Chips being only in Ranked Contests, but that was already there circa 2019-2021, so Iâm over it not the first time this has happened, nor the last, Iâd imagine. Iâd also express my displeasure over the possibility of making new Heroesâ Friendships harder to complete since Cruellaâs is with two other heroes who still donât have reliable sources of farming their chips, but I have a truckload of Memory Tokens I havenât spent in a long time from War, so at least for me, Iâm locked and ready to go for Cruellaâs Disks
Youâre not the only one
It seems to be that way with most new friendships as of late.
Take Shere Khan and Scar from example. They could have had a rivalry between each other considering that the tiger is the king of the jungle in Asian culture. But no, it just a drawn out discussion that went absolutely nowhere.
Doofenshmirtzâs friendships were⊠questionable to say the least. They didnât quite get his personality right. In the series prior, he is presented as a petty, but cordial and bumbling, scientist who did what did out of obligation to his God awful childhood.
And McLeachâs were just⊠boring.
@TheGrillFather Iâm sorry if I seem annoying with this question, but why are the first shards for Cruella available for non-Premium owners only at Milestone 11?
And at the same time, the new challenge that REQUIRES you to have her unlocked is live for only 9 days? Even by doing some lighthearted estimates, this will be extremely close for most. And thatâs not even considering the challenge stopping one day earlier depending on what time zone you live in.
Are you sure it wouldnât have been fairer to give the first shards away at, say, Milestone 3, 4 or 5 instead? I could be wrong, of course, but I could have sworn McLeach was available earlier than that, too âŠ
Oh my goodness! Cruella De Vil is here!
