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:

If it stays like this, it will just be a pale copy of Mist. The big defense debuff was the main reason why he was a good hero

Got 2 of this card from the saved tokens. Not sure what I feel about this card. But my first construct card. So will save it for the collection.

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.

Will probably stack well with Toon Grimm + Linus for a 1-2-3 punch in events and tournaments.

8

Either this guy is not all that great, or he is the games best kept secret. I dunno yet, as I am currently levelling him up.

Let us know what you think, I’ve got him, but havent done anything with yet.

Have him currently at tank in tournament defense. Lvl 80 20 emblems. At E less than 30 percent. Definitely not a tank.

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 “just go for damage.”

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 “welp, this is my biggest Construct” thing.)

Got him yesterday when I did some pulls.

I got Skarn also so he has to wait in line. Looks like a decent hero. Surprised to see only 12 comments here like this hero is not being pulled much ?

I’m still not sure what to make of him / how best to invest in him — stats distribution and “protect against color strong against him” suggests tank, but “hits three plus destructo-core at Fast plus reasonably modern stats for a 4*” 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 “how does Bonechill compare to some 4* Toon?”

Just summoned Bonechill.

Started leveling because it looks like it could be useful. Decent damage and the destructive core.
4* Tournament on attack for sure and we’ll 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. Mist’s thing was the mana slow but Bonechill doesn’t have that extra thing that will help you.
Bonechill would have been great with regular defense down since tiles would benefit, now tiles don’t do extra damage and that is where the real downgrade from the Beta version lies.

15

Just pulled this guy. Think I’ll give him a go but I am not going to commit to 2LB until I can see what he’s got.

Being that there are not a ton of new 4* and I need some more fighters on my team, why not?

Would he replace my Greg or Azmia on a rainbow 4* team, doubtful, but maybe in a tourney on a team of other blues he could be a difference maker.

16

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.

17

How so? Those destructive cores are a nightmare to fight, especially with very fast mana speed, so totally a primary target. It’s 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

18

I just got this guy and I guess I will max him after I’ve done my 5* Frond. Im always needing some 4*
