as a person who always aims for T2 who has never paid, the lack of defense and max atk bonus makes the evo3's too weak.. it's like having half an MTM R5 (not that bad but this is really the mindset we should have about them)

Let's compare to jazz (I don't have getaway):

overall, evo3 ih does a maximum of about 70k dmg TOTAL (for the whole battle) more dmg than Jazz. (he does 5k more damage per attack and *might* survive one extra hit). I'm sorry but that has to be a bad joke.

yes, it's true.. more powerful. barely. the stats LOOK great but it's an illusion. Hoist looks to be more powerful than IH evo3, I don't have him yet so can't compare.

Here is the breakdown:

base:

jazz: 28,533 / 61,257 / 5073

ih evo3: 38,981 / 75,654 / 3446

soldier row with sigs:

jazz: 191,955 / 208,272 / 13,696

ih evo3: 237,159 / 266,302 / 8958

in this campaign to H10 waves (approx dmg, diff for each wave tho):

deals per attack: jazz 21k - ih ev3 26k dmg

receives: jazz 25k - ih ev3 31k dmg

so at best, evo3 survives one extra hit and does an extra 70k damage. Extremely poor for a T2 reward compared to the ease of getting Jazz and the effort needed to T2. I don't have getaway but I know he's stronger, he may even out damage ih3. I'm very confident hoist will be better.
