More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later. :slight_smile:

Damn, this hero is crazy and will only make M&M an even bigger target for a nerf.

What does he have to do with M&M?

She is gonna get paired as a flank and rain hell on everyone as a result. Anne, Khufu and all the others will have a brand new friend to destroy us all.

Creativity department was on vacation for this one…

So I’m a bit confused by the wording of the second part of his special. Probably just cause it’s early morning and I’ve not had coffee yet…

It could be read as they reflect damage and ailments from all skills of any colour in addition to only blocking other effects from red special skills.

That sounds too much so am assuming I’m reading it wrong, and it’s basically red reflect but other colours hit and damage?

No, it’s the same wording as with f.e. mitsuko. It will only reflect the dmg and Status effect of red skills.

Another question, why is this guy considered to be that good?

A Lot of slow heroes are considered to slow for the current, fast to very fast Meta.

I know it’s only 17 Attack and HP points less than Khufu while having a much higher def stat, but it’s 400% dmg instead of 450% and no dot. I find that Khufus dot kills me pretty often if he fires. And thats a big If with all the fast heroes. And most of the time Khufu is not the Tank.

This guy on the other hand will be the Tank and will get all the dmg, so in a slow Speed, He won’t fire most of the Times.

I know, If He does and you have your fire heroes ready, you cant do anything with them for 4 rounds, but still, he seems not that good to me on first glance. At least Not as good as everyone else seem to See him.

What did i Miss about him?

He’s just awkwardly designed imo. A heavy hitter but has a utility move like reflect

20 characters of agreeing with you, at first glance I thought it’s reflect for all and 150% fire reflect, but if it’s just reflecting red, then….pretty average I would say

He just reflect anything back to Fire enemies, but this effect is undispellable.

We have the similar wording for Ursena, Bobo and other reflect heroes.

Just got him in three pulls, love the design, straight out of an Iron Maiden album cover.

Would you level him or hammertusk first?

Compared with Ahmose, Khufu hits like a baby… Ahmose hits all for 400% and you can’t bring red. So I would max this one in an instant, even if speed is slow.

I just got him too and if I had to choose between him and hammertusk (who I have LBd at the 5th node), I would do hammertusk first. His hit right now, not even fully emblemed is absolutely insane. You’re taking out a side with this guy and another strong hitter. Plus he’s average and can be made functionally fast. I’d do hammertusk I freaking love him!

Congratulations @Ugk26 & all who pull this guy!

May the portals show you kindness

This Looks to be a direct counter to Khufu and also hits like a truck. Both at slow makes some sense

Congrats as well, glad you got him!

Got him as well. Now I am trying to decide if I should max him right away, or complete first my fast Nature of Frigg and Fogg with C. Francine or C2 Elkanen.
