More Insights & Reading

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

If youā€™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:

I hope they make some changes to this one, because as it stands, if I got Armel over either of the other two featured, I would be severely disappointed.

A new blue priority dispeller, better than Fortuna at least

This cards is absolutely top of defenceā€¦ reduction of maximum health is actual for war defenceā€¦for tournament defenceā€¦ dispel + damage added ā€¦amazing defence hero

Priority dispel for DOT is great. Another hero who canā€™t be walled by ailment shields. Why is he ranger though?

Actually pulled one of these new heroes for once. Seems to be ok. DoT is very low in the current world of 3k+ hp heroes but priority dispel is nice

ich habe Armel gezogen und bin sehr enttƤuscht von empires and puzzles. er macht nicht ein einzigen schaden gegen den titan. ich will mein geld zurĆ¼ck

Needs a buff. No place in the current meta with all these op cards .

I guess he is ok. I would say average hero

Already seen several of him in the META.

He might not seem frightening at first but, at fast speed
a priority dispell followed by roughly 1000+ dmg to all enemies is not bad.

Got him too.

Not bad by all means, fast speed and priority dispel followed by -400HP if full and followed by DoT that canā€™t be guarded against unless you have Aramis, but on the other hand Starwalker is just better, so Iā€™ll go with the latter.
