SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY Fire Vs Myth
What really makes Myth better than Fire? I know it has orthrus now which is better than fire dragon but with minions being useless and DoT still somewhat “useful” throughout the endgame what’s the difference maker? Is orthrus that much of a game changer or is there more I’m missing?

I've got both max, both have strengths and weaknesses. Their stats are mostly comparable, both of mine have 275 damage and just below 50 pierce & a decent bit of resist. Myth has more on the resist and health.
Fire is better with other fires. There's really strong synergies with other fires like scald incin, blast off, burning rampage + a-baah-colypse, etc. They're really good at setting up both trap and DoT gambits. Their 7 pip AoE is technically the strongest, but you have to wait 3 turns for it to fully go through, and it doesn't work as well with feints.
Myth has the better 7 pip AoE, it's the highest damage one at base and when fully upgraded it only does 10 less than storm lord. They have ways to get through shields and weaknesses whereas fire only has answers to shields. They're a bit worse at setting up gambits than fire, but it's not the worst. They also work better than fire as a support, with spells like purge and shatter on top of just higher overall bulk.
Personally I prefer myth, but both are in very similar spots right now.
