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:

An ok healer, if he would have removed the fiends before healing will have been good. The extra 5% is not enough

Has enough interesting tools in her skills to have my attention. The mana generation alone is a solid selling point

In a world full of demons she certainly has some interest,

Would’n’t mind leveling her up and using her in a 4-1 composition,

I also really like immunity to buff dispels which is quite rare and the attack buffing, she is defintely not a one-trick poney

I also am a huge fan of the “immunity to buff dispell” sounds interesting and useful. This hero then becomes even more versatile being a bard family …really like the name also :wink:
Good luck everyone!

i have a feeling her 5% per fiend will be increased upon release.

I don´t understand why this new way of doing the same thing was necessary, it´s a completely pointless complication of the game with zero benefit.
More heal per fiend? WHY? Just remove the fiends before healing like the others do, no need to introduce a new mechanic for absolutely no reason. If they think fiend removal is too strong, they could simply lower the initial heal a bit to balance it.

Besides this pointless part the rest is quite OK, attack boost is useful, dispel immunity makes her special and no bard can ever be a bad hero. So allround nice hero, of course nothing any top player will ever chase, they have far better (and especially faster) options already, but for the regular Joe a useful healer. Then again, I am not sure she beats Anna-Belle/Rigard/Sabina by lot…

Hmmm, some nasty possibilities with her and Furdinand backed up by 3 heavy hitters on defense. :thinking:

Also, unless im misreading it, if all your allies have a fiend, thats a 36% plus 25% heal , which is enough to clear just about anyones fiends , plus attack buff, plus dispell immunity. Seems pretty awesome

Don’t tell me she has a potential to substitute Hathor as my puppies best friend :frowning: I don’t want to summons in that portal…also I don’t have the tabards

Is this Boldtusk’s older brother who went to the dark side to grow dope and play bass in a doom metal band?

Either way, I’m a fan.

It’s nice to see what one of my old favorites would look like with a bit of power creep and an extra star tacked on.

quite a buff 42% +8 per fiend, 54+ attack

My lord!! Just look at that heal potential with just 1 round of fiends?!! Really hoping to get her now! :pray:t2:

I think that passives like Belladonna’s should not exist. “Just bring me in and I nullify opponent’s hero(es).” Similar thing with the minion-cancelling tiger.

(Also, Finnish translation speaks about minions, not fiends, for the 8% extra heal… nicely done, for Finnish company…)

Why this witch is called Belladonna ? Another mystery from Zynga I don’t understand. I’ll won’t summon this hero, because my wallet refuse to pay for Dawas and Banes anymore. Good luck everyone !

People do the work in here unpaid, in their time off. It will likely be up as soon as they have the time

Sorry, I forgot to update the OP with the buffs what this hero is received compared to Beta.
Now that is done, and I have enabled the polls now.

It’s a very, very weird feeling to click through a poll after years of doing so and seeing only “1 Vote” show up! I’ve no idea how far off the norm I’ve read the hero’s usefulness!

Thanks for all the work you do!
