I just finished playing the new version of Hungry Shark: Evolution, and I tested the actual combat data of several new characters. This version adds the new God King Viking Shark, Sharkson, Super Giant Shark and Giant Baby. Although they are all sharks, their positioning is completely different. I directly made a comparison with the full level status to save you from wasting gold coins on random purchases.
Let's talk about the God King Viking Shark first. The basic attack power is about 15% higher than that of ordinary sharks, but its core advantage lies in its skills. When the thunder skill is triggered, it will cause 120 points of area thunder damage every second, lasting 3 seconds, and cooling down for 8 seconds, which is equivalent to 450 AOE points in each round of combat. The flame spray is even more outrageous. It does 280 points of damage in a single time and can also ignite the target. It will continue to lose blood every 20 points after every jump. The total damage when fighting the boss can be about 35% more. Summoning the battle ax is the only skill with a control effect. It will freeze for 2 seconds after hitting. With the high attack speed shark, you can perform a set of combos. shortcoming? Its movement speed is about 12% slower, and it is easy to overturn when chasing small fish or dodging shells. It is recommended to use movement speed runes.
Let's talk about Sharxon. This product is one level lower in rarity but friendly to novices. The basic attributes are average, and there are no fancy skills like the God King, but the highlight is that the growth curve is very smooth. As the level increases, its critical hit rate increases by 0.8% per level. At full level, the basic critical hit rate is 21%, which can be increased to 35% with equipment. The measured average output efficiency is about 8% lower than that of the God King Viking Shark, but it is more stable and there will be no skill window period. Moreover, its size is slightly smaller than that of the God King, and its hit area is reduced by about 10%, so its survival rate will be higher. If you have weak hands or are new to the game, you definitely won't lose money by choosing Sharxon.
Mega Shark is a pure power character. The basic attack power is the highest among all characters, 22% higher than the God King, but the attack speed is ridiculously slow. The attack speed at full level is 0.3 times/second, which is nearly half slower than the ordinary shark. The Giant Baby is even weirder, is it actually an auxiliary? The skill description is "wailing for food". The actual effect is to summon a food ball every 15 seconds. After nearby friendly units eat it, they will gain a 30% attack power bonus for 5 seconds. This benefit requires cooperation with teammates and is almost useless in single combat. But if you can bring a high-attack speed shark (such as Sharxon) to cooperate, the damage of the team can be increased by about 40%. However, this version does not seem to have a formal team-building function, so the giant baby's current positioning is rather awkward.
Finally, draw a conclusion. If you are pursuing extreme burst and clearing efficiency, God King Viking Shark is the first choice. It has excellent skill linkage, but requires a little anticipation of positioning. If you want to stabilize daily farm levels, Sharxon has a better fault tolerance rate, and the damage will be considerable after the critical hit flow is formed in the later stage. Super Giant Shark is an entertainment game. It can produce explosive values when fighting certain slow-moving bosses (such as the Hammerhead Shark King), but its versatility is low. As for the giant baby, let's wait until the official team system is released. For now, it can only be used as a pendant to gain experience.
One additional point: In the new version of the Ocean Overlord event, the enemy density is more than 30% higher than that on ordinary maps, so the benefits of AOE skills will be further amplified. The score of God King Viking Shark in the activity map can be about 10 points higher. In addition, it is recommended to wait until the event is over to buy skin props such as bunny tooth costumes and elf babies with gold coins. The current exchange price/performance ratio is low.
The data has been measured, you can make your own decision. See you in the comments section if you have any questions. 🦈
