Okay, here you won, sry. Yet the description is wrong at least as it is not stated that it is an aoe attack. And issues with those "ground only" are in many descriptions, like the cleansing skill on Prometean heroes and many-many ops

Yeah, engulfer as normal unit is fine in most cases. Issue goes in complex of kirko abilites.
@Tombles
1. Range. First of all, engulfers (as almost any flyer) have high survivability, can clear neutrals and level up very fast. Kirko doctrine +25% exp helps it further. Prime Rank Engulfer is powerful unit with 8 range. Here comes first issue: engulfer range. To avoid coming of 10 range engulfers devs could change it prime rank - Shrug off, Critical, Morale. Range is most useful and powerful skill for flyer. Actually, other flyer hasn't it, except engulfer.
2. Psionic buffs. Main problem is that you can mass it on a lot of units (or even on entire battlefield in past). 'Guiding Aura' is right way, it's pretty tricky to use, but still possible to abuse on 7 units. 7 units with psi buffs. It can be mass Bio or Fire resistance, mass evasion, +3 shields and healing depends from wish or need of user. Or even 3 of them (!) simultaneously. And +2 to range on top. As for me, I'd delete such ability like you do with Compelling Presence. But it will be needed something in return, so I guess it's impossible.
3. Absorb Pain. As psionic buff it causes all issues described above and on top of that adds new ones. 35% dmg reduction is huge. Also it's even easier now to use it, because Absorb Pain has a cooldown now, shorter than time of effect. Yeah, it could be cancelled by Stagger, but Engulfer Mount has Stagger Res.
Okay, my bad. Sorry.
Okay this only proves that those battle normally should not have been won by kir'ko like that)))
Ty for proofs.
Btw pity that only ai can target a non-occupied hex in the "air"

Thanks Zaskow!
We're looking into Psibuffs, but I think the issues are too big to fix for the hotfix patch, because I think that we might need to change a lot of different abilities and mods maybe. More changes to Absorb Pain are also tricky for such short notice
RIght now we're looking at the engulfers range on gold medal, the range from Guiding Presence, and the number of shields you can get from mods and operations.
Absorb Pain was nerfed last patch.
"Transcendent ‘Absorb Pain’ - Can be cancelled by staggering the Transcendent"
"Transcendent ‘Absorb Pain’ - Can be cancelled by staggering the Transcendent"
there's a few decent sources of massive impact. off the top of my head, the first psynumbra op
So , Sherlock, we just solved the problem! We just have to pick psynumbra and get rid of the link on the tirn we are about to kill one engulfer!
Let us just close the topic, then=)
Yea
T1 mod involves stag res, 1 shield, +200 moral and +30% potential dmg (+20 to soulburn and +10 from doctrine)
Hi guys, we've put the changes into a branch of Steam that you can use to try them out! We can maybe do some emergency changes on Monday, but this list is close to final. We hope that it addresses your concerns!

I'm afraid that those of you not on steam will need to wait for a few days before being able to get these changes.

Changes are very-very cool!
The only
way to easily get 6 shields remaining is link shard. So will it stay as is?
I mean essence shields + link shard+ flying vehicle... Uh, this hero is tough!
@Tombles
if you are balancing shield bonuses then you might want to consider Link shard + essence shields on heritor hero, you can easly get 8+ shield after gaining few charges.
i suggest to remove link shard's additional shields per charge.

And if so, make the skill free to use and free to break

Link Shard becomes free self-healing for 20 hp in this case, you don't even need to make a connection.
Why not? It still takes a whole secondary weapon slot.
Tbh maybe it would be logical if the connected units gain a shield per charge of each other, so that own charges give no shields?
