Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about "unfair pulls")

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.

Time to hurry up finishing Grimble and Topaz then. If released as is, those minions are just…beefy

[Nightmare2048]

Seems like Arco found a good partner.

[PlayForFun]

It seems a second passive is added to the hero.
Polls are now enabled.

[Tidyup]

Haha, last one from a 10 pulls.

[Tidyup]

@Nightmare2048

Seems like Arco found a good partner.

Imagine facing Arco/Ludwig/cel…on rush

@PlayForFun

The Rock Golem Minion gives its owner Golem’s Stoneskin when summoned, and again every 3 turns. This effect can’t be dispelled.

What does this mean?

You have stone skin all the time from minion that protect you only once. But if the protection ia gone then you get it back every 3 turn?

Why this hero is broken on Rush? There are too many minion eater in the game. Also, any Lunar hero will stop the minion effect from Cel , I suppose?

Happy gaming

@A-Sweden

Yes, this is what is means, and how it was worked in Beta.

[Kenzo]

@PlayForFun

40% HP and 50% inherited

@PlayForFun this should be 50% attack, noticed the word ‘attack’ is missing. Thanks for correcting

[PlayForFun]

Thx for noticing it. I have added the missed word.

[L33tVortex]

I like all these heros. .after 231 combined token/gem pulls I was gifted 4 of the 5* god heros, 1 duplicate Fortuna and 3 (that’s right 3 three) copies of Cel. Like I’ve said before I am both blessed and cursed!
Good luck everyone!

[Tidyup]

Any anti minion heroes are win buttons against minion teams anyways. Take those heroes out of the equation and you’re in for a nasty experience against cel

[A-Sweden]

Fully agree.
But it is impossible to not count on anti minion heroes nowadays.
I have been in war at top 100 during last years. I don’t feel safe having my Cel in defense since probably 80-90% of opponents have a few good anti minion heroes.
I hope I am missing something vital? And could se Cel as a winner bad as in defense most of the time?

Happy gaming

Lunar hero and Grimble/Ogima stock just went up.

[yorkaturr]

We get a slow hero at 5* who summons fat minions and that’s about it, and another slow 4* hero whose only purpose is to kill minions. It’s nice for them to balance it out, but I would rather work with direct damage instead of dealing with the dreary minions who I have no control over. They just make war attacks and raids unnecessarily slow and you are working with gimmicks and even more randomness, as if there’s not enough already. The minion meta is just not fun.

[Tidyup]

Don’t forget Noor. Very good against her too. Or even bera

[Whiskey]

I got “lucky” and snagged Cel on a single pull. My only other decent support in blue is M&M. Any thoughts on how the 2 stack up against each other? .y war def goto in blue right now is Quintin, who is awesome sauceome, but less so on defense.

[Nightmare2048]

I thought about that too but it is a bit too passive. Though this setup could stall enough for wings to fire (Khufu + Jove or Anne or sth).

[Wolf-Fang]

Slow mana? Meh.

As I attempt to work with my supposedly beefed-up raid team, based on Mr. Pengi and a bunch of minion-makers, it’s becoming increasingly apparent to me that Mana Speed is more important than the power of Special Skills.

A team of Fast and Very Fast … anything … can get the advantage on a souped up but Average or Slow side, unless the tiles fall just right.

I so feel this right now that I’m going to reassess my entire roster and just try to make a Fast to Very Fast team over a devastatingly powerful, ultra-synergized one.
