Class of 99s #3 – Absolutely Blobulous

Hey there Addicts

So it’s time for your characters to climb the career ladder, yes they’ve hovered in the lowly ranks for long enough and now they need to take that one giant step for man, robot, alien, mutant or woman kind to reach that coveted 4-Star rank that will see them start their journey towards the ultimate goal of being a Level 99 character.

And as you know I decided to do posts tracking my characters progress as they aim to join my Class of 99’s. Promoting characters to 99 is not easy but I thought we might as well have some fun along the way looking at the various characters that make the ultimate journey from 1-99 in my game. And who are we going to be looking at today? Well HG Blob, as he had the great honour of being the first Delivery Boy I took all the way to Level 99.

So why did I choose HG Blob? Partly because he’s fun, but also due to his ability to inflict heavier damage on enemies during combat.  So this promotion was partly personal preference and partly  based on combat strategy.

So let’s break down what it will cost you to get our first Delivery Boy into the Class of 99’s and of course look at the benefits there are in ranking and levelling HG Blob up.  And to make it simple to follow I’ll break it up into his Star Ranks.

Every character, including HG Blob, starts ranked at 1-Star, and at this rank HG Blob comes with the following passives:

Delivery Boy’s Delivery: Deals a lot of damage to a single target.

Once at Level 10, HG Blob cannot rise the level ladder any further until you promote him to a 2-Star Rank.

Was He Worth It?

So is HG Blob a worthy promotion or a luxury you can’t afford?

Well in my opinion, and this is just mine, he’s  a very worthy promotion to at least 4 Star Rank as his full potential to inflict mire damage while in turn take no reduced damage. Basically he hits harder but is tougher to kill, he’ll last longer in tougher battles.  Add to this he’s a main storyline character and he’s worth the resources spent on him.
