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.

…Which should be around this time Appreciate all the work you do! I think this card is underrated already, but he will be a freaking menace!

And stats has been re-worked since initial thread!

[PlayForFun]

The hero card is updated with the changes.
Polls are now enabled.

[Tidyup]

This is sleep done right with a unconventional twist to it.

[Crimmson]

Quite an interesting Hero. Good dmg-all, hard hitting mega Minion with a big HP Pool and a sleep effect that is usefull.

I Like this hero

[koira]

Aimed for the purple one but got 2 of these.

After initial disappointment I started to think how to utilize him and now Im actually quite excited.

-Minions hit after specials and normal attacks so there should always be at least one enemy sleeping
-Extra damage (without waking them up) applies to all minions so having something like diaochan should work fine
-How about phorcys and his minion dmg buff? Team like Armand(1)-phorcys-diaochan-“your choice”-Armand(2) would at least be interesting if not great in defence.

I will first bring one up to 4/80-90 to see how he does.

[Ven0m_dk]

Congrats. I think he will be overlooked due to new purple hero, but it is a little like Firmin, underrated but highly useful. I think you will have a very good card in him, twice will be strong if he gets firing and puts the right heroes to sleep!

[Crimmson]

Beside that New Super OP Hero He seems good but not that shiny. If he’d be the only New Hero people would love to get him i guess.

300dmg all with a high HP Mega Minion that Hits quite hard and Always lets at least one enemy sleeping is quite good.

And Just so you know, it really is a Bodyguard Minion as it seems:

Btw. When He is overlooked He might even get a buff while the purple Hero is Most likley getting a Nerf soon unfortunetly. I hate These nerfs…

[Baron]

I also got him while summoning way too much, hoping to get just one of the new heroes. I was really excited when I finally got one of the new ones but my excitement rapidly dropped when I realized I have 0 green 5* aethers and no emblems for him. Now he waits at 4/80… I just hope he is a great hero for defense!

[Ven0m_dk]

All mega minion heroes are great on defense, you’ll do alright with him for sure!

[Baron]

Yeah, that’s true. I have already seen a few of him in the Top 100 leaderboard. But let’s see if he can take a permanent spot there like Hathor or Diaochan C.

[L33tVortex]

Bought the $6.99 deal (cause who can’t use more battle items )
Really wanted Von Rothbart but got this instead. I’m not going to complain

And thanks @Crimmson … OMG that minion art is so cool.

[stevenhuang33]

I also got 2. Love to see your feedback after you place 2 of them in the defense

[XIX]

[Jesse1992]

Anyone that have tested him? great or mwahh

[Baron]

I also got him. I have tested him a bit but I not sure yet if he’s actually good. I mean his mega minion has lots of HP but I don’t know if that sleeping feature is somehow useful since the target wakes up even if you play offcolor tiles in it… maybe I am missing something. If so, please let me know!

[Jesse1992]

Thanks for your feedback buddy, i will try him out later this day​:grinning: i hope you have a nice day

[Baron]

Thanks! I also wish you a great remaining weekend

[Simon01]

If hes on right wing, the titan stays asleep. If so, he usefullness. I have Caelen, hes usefull as attack support for blue, but this guy, not sure. The sleep ability and attack should be devided, attack up should last longer than sleep mechanism. This not an A Hero, same with Caelen, except attack support.
