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.

An interesting one. First 4-star taunt hero & the second taunt hero that doesn’t have taunt as its aether power (Oni being the other, thank you @Bandolivin for the reminder).
Is the damage to all triggered if the taunt is dispelled before the 3 turns is up?
Wanted the 5* but this guy came pouring out…really surprised at the changes…tried him @+15 offensively a tbh found him to be more than a little squishy …defensively will have to wait for an opportunity to test…but still think he’s cool
thwy learned lesson not good combo, but i agree damage reduction is not good as he wants damage so he can deal damage, even i think that is counted damage he will receive
if so it’s great aether power for him
I wish they would have given him more health and/or have him boost his health when his taunt activates. Then his aether power could be heal increase like Oni.
Initially I had a feeling that 4* ice heroes finally got another useful hero, but now I’m not so sure. His taunt duration is too short and his damage output is too low have any meaning. The only reason to level up 4* heroes is if they can pull their weight in alliance wars against 5k+ defences and/or if they can be used against titans, and he doesn’t really tick either of these boxes. Disappointing.
I decided to break him so others can decide if they want to. A 4* taunt hero is unique and interesting which is more important to me than anything else at this point.
I took health over defense the 2 times you have to choose for a Paladin to keep health and defense more equivalent.
His taunt damage is affected by troops, so it gets up to about 600 which would put the hurt on other 4*
I’m still thinking he pairs well with C2 Kiril if survivability is an issue.
Side note - I guess monster slashes (probably all slash attacks) are unaffected by taunt? This seems odd to me. When you farm levels the majority of hits you take are from slashes and they continue to hit any of my hero’s when taunt is active, making it underwhelming to use taunt in anything other than pvp.
