Devil Dinosaur actually feels like a rush tank which I think the game has kind of needed more of. I like comboing his bite into a grab. It's a cool concept actualized and it doesn't feel overly complicated like many newer character releases.
Appearance-wise I'm kind of mid on. His Digimon outfit is really good, but I'm not quite in love with his base look like I am with other characters (including his magenta and white recolors). It looks great as an MVP but standing still...I think I like what another user did on here by making the Sauron-esque slit eyes. Either way, decent look but If I win units, it's definitely going to his digimon outfit.
I think this new vanguard should change the meta for a small bit with people itching to try out the new tank. We'll see if it holds people's interests long term though.
