Pygmalien

Search boxes spell him Pyg, Pygmalian, and Pygmalion. The hero on the official game page is Pygmalien. He is a base-game character, not a DLC, and his reputation is gold, income, shielding, and a huge health bar.

Why the 10-win column likes him

Hotfix 19.3: win rate 57.3%, 10-win rate 28.6%, the top of that second column. Raw wins liked Jules more. I print both because a partner question ("best partner for pyg") usually means "who closes runs," and the 10-win figure is the closer. The table is older than patch 20.1. Treat it as a dated snapshot.

Item pool 244, the largest of the eight. Mr. Tuskari sells his skills. Starting gold 8 and income 5 are again the old wiki's opener, not a 20.1 reprint. The economic plan is the one the wiki names: heal, shield, and convert income into a health total other heroes cannot burst. I do not have a 20.1 shopping list of his property names beyond that description, so I will not invent a five-card core. Anchor's health-percent hit is specifically good against this style of board, which is a Vanessa problem, not a reason for Pyg to buy Anchor.

He does not need a purchase after the November grant, and he did not need one before it either. If a page tries to sell you Pygmalien DLC, that page has the wrong hero.

Questions

How do you spell Pygmalien?

Pygmalien. Pyg, Pygmalian, and Pygmalion are search variants of the same hero.

Is he the best hero?

He led 10-win rate on the 19.3 table. He did not lead raw win rate. I will not turn that into a letter grade.
