Rolled up two Kheldians last night. I built Nova Testament, a Peacebringer, and Margie built Cetus, a Warshade. Ran around Galaxy and Atlas, interrupted by FedEx sagas and Internet outages.
Initial impressions are favorable — we were able to carve up pretty much everything we saw, and got to 5 pretty quickly. Interestingly, as squids you have both the convenience of flying/teleporting and the tacit penalty of not getting XP to/from missions the way other 2nd level heroes do.
I don’t want to do too much more in “test,” if only because I expect that these characters (on Infinity) will, in fact, be going away, and there’s no real point in spending too much time on them. Maybe just enough to get the Nova form and see how that whole dynamic works.
Main question will be whether we are a squid-squid team, or whether we pair these guys up with another lowbie pair we have in our stables (thus getting the Kheldian+Hero bonuses, not to mention someone who doesn’t get vapors at the sight of a Quantum). That will also help determine some sort of storyline behind them, about which I am feeling fairly vague.

Yeppers…
I am enjoying my squid in Discordia. I was amazed at how well it rocked in a Hollows PUG. Dishing out tons of damamge, and two shoting a Void….which is unheard of. 🙂
Sean and I took our squids (one of each) on a duo against the Council last night. It did not go well. Multiple deaths. Now, this may have been partly because he was distracted by Important Work Stuff on the phone, and I was a bit tired, but we still kept failing to notice the Quantum/Void that would obliterizify us. They do seem to work better in mixed teams. I’ve mostly soloed mine, but Sean says he sees a real difference when teaming, as with Oreo of Justice.
I’ve noticed that when soloing, I never use human form after getting the inherent squid attacks. It’s just not nearly as effective at dealing damage, which means I take more damage before polishing off the enemies. I wonder if the human form is effective in teams.
Also, don’t forget that the inherent squid powers can be enhanced. Both p-Cally and I missed that for quite a while, as you have to scroll down in the Enhancement management screen to see the powers.
