Family Bonus

Ninja Heroes have a family bonus for unique heroes of the same family.

Ninja Family
Bonus for 1 / 2 / 3 Heroes:

• 5% / 10% / 15% chance to dodge normal attacks and Special Skills
• 5% / 10% / 15% chance to counterattack with 60% / 90% / 120% of the damage received

The two effects have individual sequential processing. So one may not trigger while the other might.

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.

[rebelsouljah]

Wow… you make the attacker pay when they miss. LOL… interesting mechanic there. I’m liking it and hating it all at the same time.

[Nightmare2048]

Light Grenades … Is this a reference to “Mom and Dad save the World” movie?

Otherwise interesting and I guess this is that Sugar Glider that we already fought in tower?

[rebelsouljah]

I wish. Launch Light Grenade at target. Target immediately disappears from the match. That would be insanely OP.

…I had to watch that scene on Youtube just now. Pretty hilarious.

[King_Kyree77]

If you are free to play or cheap to play, I am telling you all now, wait for the solstice summon portal. You will have far more options to choose from and the bonus chests are better. Will there be a larger diluted pool of heroes, yes, but if you also have the opportunity to get some of the best and most essential heroes in the game. Just some thought, because the towers have some of the worst odds as far as pulls go and every 5* ninja I have, LITERALLY, every single one, I pulled from a different portal.

[Dr_Evil_Genius]

I have to give heartfelt lulz to this hero. A troll if I’ve ever seen one in this game.

[L33tVortex12596]

If this is the adorable squirrel hero then danger rolled up in a cute little package, very nice. I was finished by the last 2 portals of duplicate pulls with nothing new so I think I’ll pass on trying for his one, but best of luck to anyone who has the desire to try.
Good luck everyone!

[PlayForFun]

The hero card is updated with the buffs he got. Polls are now enabled.

[Vandermar1979]

I would have rather had either of the other two featured, but for a 10 pull I cannot complain. Looking forward to using my blinding sugar glider

[Mis]

Lol, and I just considered to ascend cDrake Fong in near future because he may still be viable…

[The_Seeker]

I just got this lovely furry little critter I have plenty of great Ice heroes, but he jumped in line for maxing both because his special and art

[Vandermar1979]

I’m in the same boat. I have more ice heroes than any other, but I like this furry lil guy lol. I may get them all to 3/70 and try them all out and see which fits my teams and play style best. Congrats on your pull!

[The_Seeker]

Thanks, you too * 20 chars

That is true!!! Only card I’ve ever pulled from those portals is Porthos. And I did thousand pulls at least

[Inkblot]

This cute little guy is the one I want but who did I pull? Cobalt! Which I already got 2 of. This game loves to toy with you.

[Vandermar1979]

I completely understand that feeling. It’s hard enough to get a 5*, so it always sucks when it’s a dup you don’t want. At the same time you feel bad about complaining about getting a 5* lol.

Mine was getting a dup Eset instead of Sneferu last dunes

[The_Seeker]

I and many others empathize

Poisoned luck or how to beat the odds for "worst luckiest" pulls :D

Hey there, This is meant to be more of a fun thread, as there are enough critical and complaining ones (and, from my point of view, often enough rightfully so) Yesterday I did 15 pulls for the Covenant summons and… I GOT FRIDA!!! YEEEY, if only I would not already have her and maxing her right now For Season 5 the only 5* I got was Sobek. TWICE! And today, I wanted to get the 3* and 4* costumes, so I did two 10-pulls. And guess what? Not one, but TWO 5* in each of th…

[Ship]

My streak from hell has ended! I’m so tickled!

[dez82]

Used Azurite and Hetepheres together. If you do a lower charge w azurite…hetepheres can override the blind percentage when the enemy misses azurite special still caused the enemy to attack an ally (including himself as an option).

Was wondering about this and found the blind damage works regardless of who caused the blind ailment.

Did it once…gonna test it out and record to see if it holds true.

Just did it on morlovia final stage and yes. Even tho hetepheres overode azurite blind the blind damage still happened. I’m thinking azurite 2nd charge is ideal.
