Choe Yeong Testing

So here's the detailed post on Choe Yeong I promised you guys!
I tested him in several different spots.
He leads pavisers, at Lv10 his skill summons 12 extra units next to him every twenty seconds (it appears to occur at exactly 0:20, 0:40, 1:00, etc., so if he gets quieted or he dies and gets resurrected later he can miss some of the summons)
I got a LOT of pictures (mostly from the same two or three battles)
Here's his skill in action:



As another little fun bit, apparently he does a weird battle stance when releasing his skill, as can be observed in this next picture:


That is a LOT of units, it looks like he has at least two squads' worth of units in that picture.
On some testing stages Choe Yeong kept getting silenced, so he failed to release his skill, like what happened here:


Choe Yeong has very good tanking abilities, extra units are always helpful. I'd put him in the back row so he can get to the frontline as late as possible, triggering shortly after he reaches the frontline.
Here's his tanking ability in action: 




At the end of the battle, if all of his units survive, there is a massive amount!
For example, in this picture, I'm pretty sure there are at least three pavisers attacking each enemy.


Here is his combined army towards the end of a battle:


And at the end of a battle, his extra squads stack on his normal troops, so the first twelve slots have four pavisers each:


Overall I would say Choe Yeong is a very good hero. He definitely should be put near Jerome/Philinus and other support heroes, and you want to keep him alive as long as possible.
He is essentially a wall factory that keeps generating more walls. With Heavy Pavisers that take less damage from normal attacks, he could be a very effective tank.
Even AOE may have problems stopping him, as he ends up with so many troops.

Now, I'm wondering if unit-spawn heroes could form a super-amount of troops army.
Combining Choe Yeong, Charles the Great, Urza, Bellerophon, Eulji Mundeok, etc. you probably could have a rally that could double it's size.
Make sure Urza has a Lvl 12 skill to summon 20 units and Charles the Great has fifth tier hero emblem for maximum troop spawnage.

I'm not sure if there is a term for this type of rally, but for now I'll just dub them factory rallies.
Have a good day, Laverty testing coming soon!
