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:

If he is released like this… WTF! The game is more or less a game of “get your finisher ready or get beaten instantly by OP-Hero 1-10.” What a nonsense!

4

So there’s a 9.375% chance for 5 hits, 37.5% chance for 4 hits and 75% chance for 3 hits if I got this right. Will always hurt and sometimes has the potential to wipe most of your team with one cast.

Reflect dark damage would be nice against this guy. Guinevere Costume? :smiley:

I want this one, but i dont want it, got too many shiny to work on recently… and absolutely empty in all my TC. Ill use my free pulls on the portal, but i hope i get it, but i dont hope i get it :sweat_smile:

960 moonrise damage is pretty weak tho with the new defense and health numbers we are seeing.

got lucky on a few pulls tonight and got this and Demilune, which to work on first? Seems demilune is quite a bit stronger to me, but looking for other’s opinion

The work well together. With blade wings benefiting from the growth

he looks ok… the nerf is somewhat reasonable but overall i am not a fan of the design

just in general, pure damage based heroes don’t age well if they don’t have other utility (goseck is a prime example)

Was the only guy I wanted to try for this month, and luckily, got him after a few coin pulls <3 can’t wait to try him out, i’ve been lacking in dark heroes for the past while!

16

Yes more randomness is exactly what this game needed… I am so tired of all this OP random stuff.

17

No, he got a trade off. He went from sniper to splasher.

oops, i thought he always hit 3
my bad, he is alot better then

19

And not only that it is a lot easier for him to deal all 3 attacks now because he just needs 2 rng rolls this time instead of 3

20

Sorry for being late.

I have just adjusted the OP with the changes.
Pollls are now enabled.
