Agility Rating

Kil’Groth: Kil’Groth's agility is not highly praised, as he only possesses his first ability - Death's Dance, which allows him to surf and traverse terrain. Additionally, hitting enemy heroes with this ability significantly reduces its cooldown.

Errol: Errol's agility isn't much better than Kil'Groth's, as it heavily relies on his first ability - Scythe Hand. He shares a mechanism quite similar to Kil’Groth in that attacking enemy heroes reduces his ability cooldown. Fortunately, Errol also has his ultimate - Evil Eye, which temporarily makes him untargetable and allows him to move, facilitating easy escape and swift engagement with enemies.

Overall, both of these heroes are rather clunky and not as smooth as other Warriors in the same lane, but Errol has a slight edge thanks to his ultimate ability. However, this ability also has limitations in terms of cooldown.Kil’Groth 6.5/10, Errol 7/10.

Annoyance Factor

Kil’Groth: Kil’Groth’s annoyance factor primarily lies in his first ability - Death's Dance, which brings a strong slowing effect when hitting enemy heroes. Particularly, the slowing effect increases with the ability's level, making him increasingly annoying. Moreover, Kil’Groth’s ultimate - Sea's Nightmare - grants him immunity to all control effects, allowing him to unleash powerful attacks in combat.

Errol: Errol's second ability - Giant Blade Hand - operates in two mechanisms: in normal state, dealing damage will heavily slow victims within range, while when enhanced, it activates an internal mechanism that swiftly knocks victims away for a short duration. Especially, this mechanism can affect multiple targets simultaneously, causing extreme annoyance. Errol's ultimate - Evil Eye - renders him invulnerable and untargetable upon landing, additionally causing nearby enemies to be knocked away for a brief period. This also creates considerable annoyance for the enemy team, especially in crowded team fights, as Errol dives in to surprise and attack enemies.

Both of our Arena of Valor heroes have their own degree of annoyance. Kil’Groth excels in slowing down enemy heroes, particularly advantageous in 1v1 situations, while Errol has the upper hand due to his ability to knock away and slow multiple targets.Kil’Groth 7/10; Errol 8/10.

Healing Ability

Kil’Groth: Healing is Kil’Groth's greatest strength. His second ability - Life Drain - allows Kil’Groth to heal significantly based on the level and number of targets he attacks. Moreover, the amount of HP restored increases considerably when targeting enemy heroes. Thus, Kil’Groth can easily turn the tide of battle, even against multiple opponents. His passive, Deep Sea Pressure, further boosts his attack speed, indirectly enhancing his healing ability as he delivers more, faster, and stronger blows.

Errol: Errol's abilities are closely tied to his healing capabilities. His passive - Demon Hand - when fully stacked, triggers the 'Demon Surge' state, increasing his % lifesteal, allowing him to heal significantly from normal attacks or abilities. Both his first and second abilities, when hitting enemy heroes, replenish his lost health. Thanks to these mechanisms, Errol can go from near death to full health in an instant.

Clearly, both of these Arena of Valor heroes possess incredibly strong healing abilities. Kil’Groth requires continuous attacks to heal, while Errol accumulates his passive and utilizes his abilities strategically to regain lost health.Kil’Groth 9/10; Errol 7.5/10.

Resilience

Kil’Groth: When it comes to resilience, Kil’Groth isn't highly regarded due to the lack of any abilities that can buff armor or increase damage resistance. He can only rely on healing to sustain in combat. The absence of armor or damage resistance buffs can make Kil’Groth vulnerable, susceptible to quick bursts from strong combos or overwhelming enemy numbers.

Errol: It can be said that resilience is Errol's weakest point, as he doesn't possess any abilities to buff armor or increase damage resistance. His passive, Demon Hand, is a double-edged sword. Specifically, when reaching the 'Demon Surge' state, Errol experiences significant reductions in magic and physical resistance, rendering him very fragile. Hence, skilled Errol players must exercise caution when using abilities.

Both Kil’Groth and Errol have significant weaknesses in resilience. They both lack the ability to increase armor or damage resistance. Errol is even worse off when in the 'Demon Surge' state, experiencing reduced magic and physical resistance. Both rely on healing or lifesteal to maintain health in combat.Kil’Groth 5/10; Errol 3/10.

Damage Dealing Ability

Kil’Groth: Kil’Groth's damage dealing ability mainly relies on the patience of the player. While he doesn't have many high damage-dealing skills, thanks to his strong healing and slowing advantages, Kil’Groth can sustain prolonged combat and gradually push back opponents. However, with some disruption-oriented equipment, Kil’Groth's damage dealing and attack speed from his passive can be significantly enhanced.

Errol: This Arena of Valor hero boasts versatile damage dealing capabilities. His 'Demon Surge' state enhances his running and attacking speed tremendously. When enhancing the third attack, Errol can leap forward and deal devastating damage, enabling him to continuously drain enemies' health with his dual blades. Furthermore, when fully stacked, his second ability - Giant Blade Hand - can double his attacking power and provide significant lifesteal.

Kil’Groth focuses on durability in combat, with strong healing and slowing abilities, allowing him to exert immense pressure in duels. Conversely, Errol exhibits flexibility with diverse damage dealing abilities and the 'Demon Surge' state to enhance running and attacking speed, as well as deliver potent damage from his second ability.Kil’Groth 8/10; Errol 8/10.
