More Insights & Reading
I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:
If youâve 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.

Can dish quite a lot of damage for fast hero due to Destructive Core. Like the design a lot. The last bullet in his special is useless however, and SGG apparently uses it when they have no idea what to put there.
Odd design, namely that the base defense stat is significantly higher than that for offense. Would seem to be a potential tank (especially with defense up against green), but I see folks here so far are all âjust go for damage.â
I mean, I suppose could be a 4* damage tank, but see @Wahoo78 reports poor experience with that, so not sure what to make of this hero. (Especially with the whole âwelp, this is my biggest Constructâ thing.)
Iâm still not sure what to make of him / how best to invest in him â stats distribution and âprotect against color strong against himâ suggests tank, but âhits three plus destructo-core at Fast plus reasonably modern stats for a 4*â suggests hitter.
I mean, sometimes one does want some actual 4* damage for situations like Challenge events and 4* tourneys. though much of 4* damage often translates poorly into a more 5* environment (especially given the ever-growing acceleration of 5* heroes and costumes and their stats).
I suppose the question really is âhow does Bonechill compare to some 4* Toon?â
Started leveling because it looks like it could be useful. Decent damage and the destructive core.
4* Tournament on attack for sure and weâll see about the defensive duties when that opportunity arises. For defense it needs LB2 and not at all certain this hero will get that treatment.
Have some excellent Toons and other good heroes with the work already completed so will see how I feel closer to 4-70.
I had thought I would love Mist when she was first released but defense down against special skills was never convincing. Mistâs thing was the mana slow but Bonechill doesnât have that extra thing that will help you.
Bonechill would have been great with regular defense down since tiles would benefit, now tiles donât do extra damage and that is where the real downgrade from the Beta version lies.
I have the medal next to my name because he does indeed stack well with other blue hitters, especially Toon Grimm. I do believe he is worth 2LB. Works for me at least.
How so? Those destructive cores are a nightmare to fight, especially with very fast mana speed, so totally a primary target. Itâs only natural to take a green team against this dude, a green defense buff means lots of trouble for the attacker.
I currently have no better blue heroes so leveling him
This is why I literally laughed out loud when I saw that 64% of people voted his stats match his intended purpose âbetter than most.â The obvious answer is âworse than most.â
It reveals that these polls are pretty much usesless. Look them all of them⊠nearly every single hero is voted as being âbetter than mostâ or its closely behind âon par with most.â
The same exact group of people turned around and voted in the same poll that attack path is the way to go, which you already noticed:
Attack path is the almost certainly the best path to take with him but heâs structured like a defensive hero. So, my assessment is that he is a reasonably good hero that is hobbled by having stats that make no sense for him.
