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:

NOTE to avoid confusion: Boots (& Goldie) WILL officially launch 2023-09-18T06:00:00Z GMT

Despite this note…

List applies to legendary Goblins and Boots and Goldie are not Legendary. (Thanks @Elioty33 )

They will. They are NOT legendary heroes. Also from my updated (after SGG changed their mind) predictions:

Why are all the good 3* heroes Barbarians, it’s annoying, I have no emblems left because they are all on the 3* heroes.
Give us some paladin, I have 1700 spare of those :rofl:

I hear ya !! Sneferu has just had all mine !! Luckily there’s a certain Garjammal that’s been hiding that can be stripped so I’m good !! Especially when I’ve G. Hippo to do !!! Too many barbs. & let’s face it, it’s 1 of if not ‘THE’ weakest talent there is. Shud do more damage to be on par with withstand, dodge, etc. feels very impotent a Barbadian bleed hit does. Like a cobweb on your face. Did u feel it? Was that something brushing past your face? Couldn’t tell it was so soft. Just like a barbarism bleed hit !! Goldie is a nice fit for those lovely paladins !!

Is Boots good enough to run multiples in Events or is one enough?

With Goldie I believe two is better than one in a team to build the attack stat since you enter the final with all the buffs from the earlier waves.
Not sure if Boots does enough to run two in a single team because with waves you start over when debuffing the enemy and there are so many stellar 3* that deserve spots.

13

For me personally, I only leveled one for now…though I held on to a second just in case. As you said there’s a number of stellar 3* options, that I really dont know who I would replace. There is definite value to using 2 if you don’t have a deep 3* roster…and probably still value even if you do

Thank you, that is the direction I believe I will be going too.

This isn’t a Treevil or Felton level 3* but will certainly play well (nor Buster considering he is used by top 10 scorers in Legendary on the Events).

No, he isn’t quite at that level, but he is up there. Just tested him out in the 3* tourney and he is pairing VERY well with Bagreg

With the trio Boots, Buster and Bagreg it went very good in the 3* tournament. The bosses drop like flies !

Just pulled him, looks like he’s on the fast track to levelling!

Delighted to confirm that the Hammer Thump defense down ailment triggers the same way Erlang Shen’s does. If you fire a second time onto an opponent that already has the ailment, it triggers the damage component for removing before the duration ends.

Running double or even a triple in 3* tournaments and events could make sense (he hits all equally so boss wave could just disappear with three hits).

This is the first hit, the icons are just appearing on the bosses:

This is the second hit, there is 87 damage due to the defense down ailment removal (one Boots is 1-1, the other ate some brothers and is 1-28 w/special @ 5/8)

Does anyone have the rough attack and defense stats for each titan level?
I’m wondering what Boots’s -35% plus -40 defense wither add up to?
I’m assuming it’s not enough to make up for a -44% defense down, but wanted to ask.

Yes, I have the data, I just need to compile it somehow in a usable/readable way :grin: One more reason to do it I guess :stuck_out_tongue:
