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:

Got lucky with my first pull! Happy to have my first 5 star bard. Stats bit better than in beta, and special deals more damage but the debuffs last a turn less

I love her looks…so reminds me of LotL…I didn’t even read her special before I was enamored with her appearance. Thats right…I’m shallow…:sweat_smile:
Anyway back on topic :crazy_face: I do like the specials …not sure how to get the most from timing on this heros special and happy to see some balance.
Good luck everyone and congratulations to the lucky ones!

Just pulled her and I’m not sure how to rate this one yet. The biggest asset is bard class. The damage is ok but nothing special, and making status ailments uncleansable sounds ok but very situational, as I don’t think ailments are that important in current meta. Also speed is average so probably won’t trigger at the same time with Hippo, but will have to check with bard mana buff + troops. Certainly won’t fit into my defence.

You and me both!

But also, that 400% to three is no joke… and makes status effects effectively uncleansable… with the right team? She’s a monster, but a beautiful one :heart_eyes:

400% damage to 3 is just okay? She has very high attack stat as well, that’s 3 near sniper hits and more than adalinda who also gives defence down and is very good

The unclenseable ailments would have to be used in the correct team but essentially even without that you see getting unclenseable defence down with her which is great in itself

Is she super OP? No but very good indeed IMO

She hits about the same as Guan Yu, so pretty good but not exactly among the very best of them. I’m using Hippo for all of my attacks, so I would pick Tinsel over her because of fast speed. Still thinking if I should level up 2C Magni before Celimene because I think 2C Magni would have better synergy, but she is good so she’s first or second in line out of my blue heroes.

What will happen when Guardian Gazelle casted her Dancing?

Shouldn’t she be playing a cello instead of violin? Unless they rename her to Violimene :stuck_out_tongue:

Gazelle should still work against her since she removes even uncleansable ailments.

She’s tier below ogima narcisa rhys, if you don’t have rhys then portal is a good option but personally recommend waiting for ogima to be featured.

She’s not getting scopes borahae :purple_heart::purple_heart::purple_heart:.

Damage reduced to half and Gazzels allies still immune to ailments and buffs

She and narcisa are terrifying to face together. One gives AD, the other DD. One refreshes ailments, the other makes them uncleansable…very, very strong in the towers as well

Was super lucky to have pulled her just cause I already have multiple copies of the other featured. Yes I would have preferred Ogima but at least she’s gorgeous and I love her art :slight_smile:

My thoughts on her is that she’s an inferior Adalinda, as they do similar damage but Adalinda has a higher DD and for an extra turn, and I prefer the fiends than having uncleansable status effects. Would that be accurate or am I missing something?

I like her DD. She would probably change Alasie C in my team. Yeah Alasie is fast and great but DD means more to me. I already have Milady in my team so I can not wait to see that brutal damage after Celimene and Milady fires.

Is her illusion cone from the artist of El Naddaha?


Got her from 1st pull after getting 3* via silver coin (not always work). Is she worth ascending? i hv Sobek, cAlasie, M&M, Morel waiting on the bench.
