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:

No option for limit break twice?

Also just pulled him. Veryhappy with him! He will fit nicely next to Constance and Milady.

Oh, nice catch.
I have used an older hero for polls template, where there was no LB2 option.

I have adjusted the polls to have LB2 option too, but it means I had to reset that poll.
Sorry for the inconvinience.

Wouldn’t milady contradict with him? Unless you’re stealing the buffs the enemies have set up before milady

Good point. But Cardinal is Average and Milady is Slow. So I hope Richelieu will ‘steal’ the buffs before Milady activates, and then Milady will reflect them and the Cardinal becomes a sniper + Fiend bomber.

lmfao do you remmeber the family guy episode when peter punches a pregnant woman that he thought was a guy
