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:

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

If I’m not mistaken in the beta it was at Average. But if they increased it, it’s better that way.

I see this guy as very desirable for my team. 400% at Fast, with potential to boost to 600% if paired with a minion creator like Waterpipe, with possibility for 50% boost on that number, and you cant remove his minions!

Id take this one for sure.

Oh and 20% from an aether power.

Decent.

His artwork is gross though. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

This guy will pair well with Ginger from Xmas portal. I may keep a copy if I pull one, but I have a very long green quene at the moment and it will take me months before I can get to work on him.

Sound like a good one to pair with Bera now she can have some use on one of my teams maybe also mother north and jolly etc. Just got him.

Not bad. Decend damage at Fast speed even without minions in team, beefy minion for him that can’t be removed by Alucard or the like, strong attack bonus from minion and dodge (though small chance and apparently the duration was shortened), I like this one.

Big upgrade from Beta, the mana speed is key and the slightly better attack buff from the minion is nice.

Not sure it would be a priority for me personally but can see a use case for this HotM. It only becomes dangerous when paired with another minion summoner and can be lethal with many allied minions and one of its own for the attack buff.

He could do well in any team that was built to work for Pengi.

Missed the April Hotm, and the May one pops up on the first day. Have a lot of Greens already, but he should go well with Arco and Liu Bei especially with the minion removal resist.

Just a three turn elemental link? This dude is completely usable but I’m not sure I’ve seen a link that short. Maybe that’s the trade off.

Wow, greatest HOTM ever! Fast speed 400% single target dmg on its own. And if you pair it with another minion summoner, assume you fire off with 5 minions, 1 each member, that’s a whooping 400+125%, 525% single target dmg, only after pair with another summoner. Damn! What a great versatile HOTM!

Roughian is the best HoTM ever, but this guy is solid. Would definitely LB him if I get him. A different take on Pengi.

But roughian is still new enough that she can be competitive at this level… The appointment even at a 2x lb are just too easily killed…

But… I had the same initial thought.

I think this guy is useable for someone who has a hole in their roster… Or with heroes that pair well with him.

I have the heroes to pair… But not a bo sized hole… So if i get him… Probably soup exchange fodder.

If I get this card, I might clean the dust off Sylvaria.
