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:

This guy sounds interesting :thinking: Well I’ll be back after release to see!

Did only 1 ten pulls and he popped out immediately, and satsui as well!

He had a priority dispel for 1 ailment as per beta stats

Now cleanses all ailments, which is good… but it is not a priority dispel anymore (moved to 3rd bullet in the skill).

The switch in order would be useful in niche cases where cleansing an ailment triggers another effect.

For instance, cleansing the enhanced defense ailment from Isidore triggers a -80% reduced healing ailment…so in this case, healing before cleansing is better.

Or if cleansing triggers damage, then healing before cleansing would be a better option

…and love that 2 turn delayed mana gain buff (although a buff block on the hero would mean they’ll not get the mana…since cleanse comes after the mana buff is applied)

Overall, certainly a useful hero!

He is also great for equaliser as his mana will proc once it’s removed by the equaliser. But I am wondering if it could be stolen as I wonder if this is one of those enhanced buffs or not

The hero card is updated with the changes.

Polls are now enabled.

Yup… It can be stolen. My Araminta gives a similar buff, and opponent’s Diaochan is able to steal it.

1 pull. :scream:

How is it that chunkyroi got released just one day after him and this guy already feels like he missing an extra skill?

Dunno, i feel like Bramble is a stronger healer

50% vs 40%
20 percent mana boost vs mana gain boost
Insanity resist
Wither and DD resist
Similar stats
Family bonus that resists mana cuts
Safe cleanse vs normal cleanse

I like Chonks class more

The mana gain is not like xnolphod. There’s still 3 turns before the mana procs, unless you manipulate it with heroes like gazelle/snow white. So that’s his drawback. Chunkyroi is situationally a better healer than bramble, chunks could be used more effectively to counter MFs. And the moth has 4 skills at average compared to bramble’s 3 skills

I don’t personally see him being gamechanging but to each their own.

A potential 1400 additional heal if you have all your other specials ready after he fires, which if you have that , you should have the match won already. And that can be dispelled without a problem

Anyways, i just think brambles 3 point special is stronger than chonks 4 point.

Passives can be a toss up. The damn moth dust passive is almost a liability against toons/ clerics

My Bramble is almost done. Short some big green aethers for some real workd testing

This guy will be great on an anti-Fergus team. I am currently using Rosalind as a healer on one team, as she does not lose mana.

Pair this guy up with another Faun for 100% resist to mana ailments and mana reduction (or 75% alone), and he then can overwrite his own mana boost (or wait the three turns) to give some mana-help to his companions

Great also both in wars with insanity and EQ

The hero card is updated with february family bonus change.

I tried for him again but although I was super lucky in 44 pulls none of my scored 5* were new or him…



What you see plus another Verity before I gave up.

Hurray to you, and hurray for me which also one pulled him :grimacing:

Have you tested that he can trigger his own mana gain buff? Because he doesn’t do it when I’ve run him on the world map which seems like a huge drawback.

Probably not since the Pepperflame, Starwalker, Pophit, Erlang fiasco. Could still set it off with a offensive dance i would assume.
