I was making some reasearch, didn't find the base stats at lvl 10 neither at 15, base stats are 332 / 1350, less than ash beast, at lvl 10 they should be arround 600 / 1640. Those stats arent that good. For the skills my thoughts are: Nobility 10: "When damaged, increases the ATK by 50% of damage sustained" With no rune. Pretty good skill, if you can handle a lot of damage... Earth totem 10: not much to say, feels like a placeholder Omega Impact 10: "When played deals direct DMG equal to the total of this creature max HP and ATK to all enemy creatures. The DMG dealt will be shared equally among all enemy creatures".
Both signature skills are good, but in the same set I really feel they kinda suck, for nobility you need to be able to soak a bit of damage, which with only 1600 HP isn't very probably, you can one hit it. It could change if you put frost armor on it, but then taking 180 dmge per hit, it will increase damage 90 per turn... you will need some hits to skyrocket that 600 damage (arround 7 to hit 1k, without buffs)
Eearth totem only applies to other creatures so it don't affect Omega Impact
At 10, you will have about 2240 atk + hp, with a load time of 4 you can play this card on your second turn, that means this card will do about: 2k damage to 1 crit 1k to 2 crit 666 to 3 crit 500 to 4 crit 400 to 5 crit
aaand probably inmunity will soak the damage. Done the damage, the card becomes pretty useless unless you can recycle / rebirth it several times to keep doing AOE damage, but then you will loose earth totem buff...... anyways...
Thats my opinion.

I guess it all comes to if omega impact uses the buffs on the damage calculation or not. If it does, a good neander deck with wolveria and nidhoggs could change it into quite a nuke.

I have Taurus and she is amazing. Stats at lv 15 are 977/2325 (no runes). Atck/HP buffs that Taurus recieves do increase the damage so its awesome with Neander deck with Nidhoggs and stuff. Also cant wait to get Judgement to make full use of Nobility 10. The only thing that scary is when Oceanus clones Taurus. With 150%+ stats Omega impact alone is scary...
Also Omega impact does direct dmg so it cant be resisted in any way. Oneshotting Revive Fafnir or a couple of those annoying Horned beasts? So satistying...!

freki woha, that stat scale is obvnoxious, I used Ash beast to compare but Taurus really ourlight him. So, Omega Impact strikes after the boons are applied? If that's so, then it certainly does a lot of damage. Does inmu protect from her? And mitril debuff?

If that's so, then it certainly does a lot of damage. Does inmu protect from her? And mitril debuff? Yes, dmg is calculated after the hp/attack boosts. It works exactly like Sacrifice in that regard. And like all direct direct dmg skills, Omega Impact is unaffected by immu or magic-sealing skills. Also, with these stats and some hp boosting in deck, Nobility 10 brings her to Sac levels of attack in a few turns usually. I used to use her as Heist 1 creature deck to hunt other 1-creature decks, cos OI oneshots any creature without question

Moved it to Card discussions because it was more talk about the Card Taurus then about faction wars itself imo.

According to 9.0.0 patch note translation: Taurus: Omega Impact now deals Direct DMG equal to total of the creature's current HP and ATK, with a cool down of 1 turnSo it will deal dmg on first turn like before, and will deal dmg every two turns?! Or every turn?! what CD of 1 really means here? If its true, this card will be extremely OP. Basically, if you dont kill it next turn after it comes into play, it will instakill new creatures on board dealing 3k+ direct dmg every two(?) turns while staying to the right out of their reach... Even better in Berserker deck with boars helping Taurus to be as far right as possible and buffing attack every turn.. P.S. Maybe this thread should be renamed to Taurus discussion

I think you play the card and omega impact will activate only in the next round.
Just a wild guess though.

Omega impact indeed activates now every two turns. Tried this in gauntlet and a few tourney fights: if Taurus is out and is protected by a couple of creatures, its GG, every activation she instakills everything summoned on enemy board (3k+ dmg).

Taurus is a pinnacle of poor game design. Of course I want one.
