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

• What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about "unfair pulls")

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.

[Nightmare2048]

A new Taunter killer. Not bad.

[Sternman]

Another Red Elemental EDD. 9HB does his hits at slow as does Eset, this is a monster if released as is, especially if there are tiles on the board (with Himeros/Grimm C2/Glenda attack buff…ufff).

That attack stat and the special will make this a titan destroyer as well as a taunt wrecker. For PvP he is far more effective than Brimstone if there is a hint of a taunt.

[Juzjokez]

Its been a minute since Ive been lucky…2nd pull

[Chicobestia]

I feel very lucky today !! Which one do you recommend between Ash and Hummerclang?

[PlayForFun]

The polls are now enabled for this hero.

[drdare]

Really tough to decide between those 2. In my case i would do Hammer first as he gives damage up and attack down to enemies @ fast speed. That sets up my damage dealers to finish the job faster.
Ash is insane for Titans, offense and taunt bust.

[L33tVortex12596]

Titan specialist…unfortunately I am having to hold myself back on titans so I wouldn’t get as much use out of this one as some others would… congratulations to those who got lucky in the portals!

[CheapNoob]

I’ve got her. She’s very strong, she burns everything and the tiles fires everyone’s asses. I’m even thinking of pausing leveling Sparklight because she’s more fun to play.

[Pr0spero]

I pulled this one with free saved coins.

Currently working on Lasalle but not too far off, and got lucky with the bonus chest which gave me 2 sets of rings, exactly what I need to ascend Ash

[Jwyatt469]

What about thura? She would turn this monster into a world killer. Add 80% to each of those 9 hits. Then have Farah on the other side of thura. Game over.

[JackieChanBruce]

Im in the middle of levelling her up but trying to decide who i should Limit Break, Ash or Lodius. I only have enough for one and can only limit break either one, once.

[JAWS1]

It depends upon your needs! Ash to me is more of a titan-killer while Lodius would be used more in wars and raids especially with the counter-attack feature that is very useful. In any case, you can’t really go wrong with either! Nice pull with getting Ash! She will really help your titan scores!

[Toebelix]

She’s not only a titan killer, i take her for raids and the damage is insane. Farrah on steroids, she’s absolutely worth it

[Chicobestia]

Torbelix, can you upload a recording with Ash? I have Sparklight, Hummerclang and Ash and it’s too difficult to choose who I give the limit breaker to, I only have for 1, thanks in advance

[Toebelix]

Do you mean her card or a video?

[Chicobestia]

Sorry , a video please ! I want to see how much damage it does !

[Toebelix]

No problem, i’ll do it later, i’m in the moutains right now

[Chicobestia]

Ok, no problem, thanks again !
