Hero Review

Serena Review: Spreading Gossip, Fiends, and Missed Attacks

"Serena brings a new flavor of chaos to Empires & Puzzles with her 'Spreading Gossip' skill. She’s not just hitting targets; she’s infecting them with fiends that clone themselves and ruin accuracy. Is this socialite the anti-healing solution you need, or just another pretty face on the bench? We break down the stats, the strategy, and the best ways to use her."

Mana Speed
Average
  • Deals 400% damage to the target.
  • Summons a Gossip Whisperer Fiend for the target.
  • The Gossip Whisperer Fiend absorbs healing. It disappears after absorbing a healing amount equal to 25% of its target's max health.
  • When summoned the Gossip Whisperer Fiend gives -45% accuracy for its target as long as the target has Gossip Whisperer Fiends. This effect can't be cleansed. (Chance to miss also applies to offensive Special Skills.)
  • The Gossip Whisperer Fiend generates a clone of itself to nearby enemies on every turn. (Cloned Fiends absorb the same amount of healing and deal the same amount of damage as the original Fiend. The Fiend will only clone if the target does not already have the maximum amount of Fiends or Minions.)
