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:

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

Lately C-Tibs is making me angry by dying too fast against 13* titans, so if I land this guy I will power level him and he replaces C-Tibs. His 2nd charge takes 9 tiles which is C-Tibs with mana troop. Have even 2.5k of Wizardry emblems so why not.

I can see the attack up and the defense down in combo being very useful on titans. Can do the job of two heroes with mana potions to quickly charge and fire, allowing more versatility and stacking of attack power for those with limited rosters.

So, he is the 4-star Nyx with 3 targets. I got him along with Nyx. He will get in line for feeders after the current project. Ametrine will love his company in tournaments and events.
