Family Bonus

Ninja Heroes have a family bonus for unique heroes of the same family.

Ninja Family
Bonus for 1 / 2 / 3 Heroes:

• 5% / 10% / 15% chance to dodge normal attacks and Special Skills
• 5% / 10% / 15% chance to counterattack with 60% / 90% / 120% of the damage received

The two effects have individual sequential processing. So one may not trigger while the other might.

Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

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

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

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.

Another good plus interesting hero .

[Nightmare2048]

Another ninja dealing Sobek amount of damage with half tiles. And fiends on tops, though they’re less annoying than Ekanite’s Shinobi Countering Minions. Still OP hero.

[L33tVortex]

Well I really like this one … please …&… thank you
Last two portals produced nothing of interest for me so I’m ready for a new project…

Good luck in the portals everyone!!!

Edit: it seems they toned the ninjas down before release … except for blue dude who got a badly needed little something more of sorts…
Really enjoying the artwork here.

Hello all,

Thanks god I’ve waited the good ones to be featured thank you @Elioty33 thanks for that,

Empires Puzzles : Extravaganza 245 pulls chasing Amethyst and Serandite Ninja 🥷

[Noxyking]

Great hero to pair with Sergei and Nyx with another vf hit-3 or hit-all. I’ve tested this and you can kill 3 or everyone with just 6 purple tiles (two matches).

[Chenowyn]

I’ll probably team her with C Panther, for lack of 6 tile heroes.

[Kenzo]

Is it just me or does this new fiend hero makes Fortuna seem weaker?

[ajly19]

My beautiful gem . I am so happy to get her.

[Ruckus]

I was lucky to pull her and am super excited to work on her

Then today I had to deal with this

[MountainMann]

She has dropped 3 times for me on about 70 pulls. ( thats not my team above, im still leveling my first lol)

She is badass , stoked to pair her with Nyx

[Messias21]

Pulled her today. Really stoked about it.

[Messias21]

What I think when I see those teams is: are there even that many offers for all the ascension materials and limit breaks? Or do these people just skip alchemy labs for fun?

[Wiamz31EP]

Hello EP Players,

Some people asked me if Amethyst was good, yes she is excellent I think,

Here is the testing :

[Lowratehitman]

She is a beast for sure, I just pulled a dupe of her with the SG refund, may level two

[Tellybelly]

How did it go? 20characters

[A-Sweden]

Pls tell how you see or imagine that, thx.

Happy gaming

[Ruckus]

Not too bad, each Amethyst did fire once at the first or second charge. Luckily I have a decent raid team, otherwise that fight would of been real rough

[Predatorhunter]

Well i got lucky.
