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:

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.

I have Ametrine fully embeled and LB and I will pair both of them and destroy everything :))

The passive and family bonus is now adjusted in the OP after the 2022 November Balance update

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.

I pulled this guy today, i think he is my first Styx hero. I will max him and I was saving my wizard emblems for Loki but I need a tome of tactics, so will use my emblems for this guy until I can max Loki.
Is this guy still good and worth using?

The 3rd charge is good, else it is just ok. I thought of pairing him with Nyx as they charge together, but it has been just ok.

I rushed him for the last contest of elements just to make up numbers and have enjoyed using him since.

Notyou87, yes, he is. He has been my go-to purple 4* since i got him straight after his release. Dont see it changing any time soon.

Arges is a nice sub for Tiburtus. He had served me well but this guy is a nice upgrade . They will pair well in future events as well. Decent hero since leveling him .

Absolutely. I finally reduced my time counter for events due to this guy. His effect isn’t last longing but if you choose the right time you can decimate the enemy team in a single turn

This hero is not needed for titans only SharKai… among 4*

a miserable waist of tokens
For EDD C Ursena is better

Arges does generic defense down. Which if you don’t have a better option, by all means use him.

What are you even talking about?

He would do well with Koda, they’d charge together and he would apply an attack buff, and later dd

A 4* version of Nyx, what’s not to like about this guy.
