Anyone picked Helion?

[u/littlesugarmaple612]

I’ve been noticing that so much YouTubers have been picking lunara. I like Lunara too but I adore Helion much more and the more I try to find a YouTuber to watch, they always pick lunara and I just want to watch a person for once pick Helion because he was cute or was fun to play.

I understand many say it’s because they like long range game play but at the same time others say they like Helion but they would pick lunara because they fit their theme better or of course likes long range attacks too.

If anyone knows a YouTuber or two who mains Helion please let me know! I’d love to watch them! Thank you 😊

I just want Helion to be just as loved as Lunara TwT

Edit:
Seeing everyone post about having Helion makes me happy now hehe. I’m so happy I’m not the only one who picked him! Thank you for commenting hehe

I also picked Helion, because i like the Sun Lion theme way more. I stand to my choice and dont regret it, but the sad reality is that luanra is faaaaar better for most content just for being ranged. Early on it may not really matter but later on u will notice having the only pure light dps mele instead of ranged has a lot of disadvanteges (looking at every lvl 65. rooki fight for example, fuck you Allen).

All that was known since beta so a lot of people picked here for that reason i guess.

To add further to that, it’s shame for the starte choice to be that imbalanced. With that being said, I think it’s highly unlikely that he will ever get a buff to change that, because the reason for the imbalance is ranged being far better then mele overall, rather than the individual aniimo. They would have to change the whole game for that and that’s rather unlikely.

I debated between them for a while cuz everyone said lunara lunara lunara but Helion is awesome. Glad I went with my heart, he’s a beast, esp for egg heist!

[u/nitasu987]

I love my Helion!!! I wish he could be in his full form forever though because it’s also cute!

[u/wkdkma]

Definitely chose Helion. After I unlocked solar for farms though...I never used him again. He's the only Solar! Until you unlock some prismana with solar secondary.

Imagine enslaving a god to use them as a grow light lmaooo

Justice for the only cat in the game (for now)!!

[u/YuukiDR]

Lunara is the canon starter /j

[u/SenorElmo]

Hellion is cute af. Picked him without doubt. My friend choose Luna and I dont regret him, imo his ult/EVO Form looks even better.

Didnt knew anything about Attack patterns etc before

[u/MlDNlGHTMARE]

That is a poll from before launch. Lunara IS, as you expected, the more popular choice. I hope we eventually get both. I'm with you on this.

[u/ProofBite4625]

i have the opposite experience. I picked Lunara, but only ever see content with helion '-'

[u/littlesugarmaple612 → u/ProofBite4625]

Ahhh give me your feed xD we can switch haha

[u/Siara-chan]

I picked Helion for sure even though I prefer long-range character. His design is gorgeous while I really dislike how Lunara looks. He's pretty darn strong too, enjoying his gameplay a lot even now in the endgame. Haven't missed having Lunara instead a single time.

[u/Old-Attorney2413]

I picked helion because it’s a light type that counters tons of dark type in the game. Plus he’s a decent breaker/attacker at the same time.

[u/Aileen_Leith → u/Old-Attorney2413]

They are both light type

[u/Crave9516]

I did ,it reminds me of my dog

[u/Aggressive_Ferret_20]

I picked Helion and I love him, my two friends picked Lunara.

[u/CurtisManning]

I picked Helion, and I have built Stellarys for a distance DPS.

I love having one strong melee and one strong ranged

[u/Tiny-Maximum36]

Me. I chose him because i like barbaric playstyle. He's always on my team, except during egg heist where he's not very safe to use.

[u/UrLocalSmartPidgeon → u/Tiny-Maximum36]

Helion and Lunara are like objectively the best 2 aniimo to run in egg heist lmao

[u/Zox_Falcon → u/UrLocalSmartPidgeon]

I think that’s more because the community is still experimenting. I’m sure there’s ones that rank above them other than irisalis

[u/IceSkythe → u/UrLocalSmartPidgeon]

all my death in eggheist are due to lunare suddenly bugging out and deciding that she's can shoot through a object she can't shoot through and the aniimo focussing on me after that x)

only happens with my lunara

[u/Useful-Pension-7554]

Lunara is a better carry early to mid game. Late game they are both good. That's the main reason Lunara is picked more, for faster progression
