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:

Not sure if the lovechild of Anne, jove and klaern is good or not. Also she looks like she belongs to the nightmare of Atlantis family, surprised to see her as the defenders

8 Likes

Looks like they buffed her damage slightly but reduced her water damage. I’m also unsure whether she’s good or not, will wait to see what the polls and comments suggest :thinking:

Comparing her first (fast) special with Tethys, I feel like Tethys is superior as they do the same amount of damage overall (900%), but Tethys does water damage and buffs attack where as Ceto does a conditional debuff to all enemies instead.

Tethys:

  • Deals 300% damage to target and nearby enemies.
  • The target and nearby enemies receive 390 Water damage over 3 turns.
  • All allies that are not of Ice element get +30% attack of 3 turns.
  • All Ice allies get +60% attack for 3 turns.

Ceto:

  • Deals 300% damage to the target and minor damage to all other enemies.
  • If hit enemies use their Special Skill in the next 4 turns, they get -34% attack, -34% defense and -24% mana generation for 4 turns. Status effects are added at the end of a Special Skill. Status effects will not be added if this status effect is removed during a Special Skill.

She is good but not in same division as Anne in my opinion. In the positive side; that she will get health from her water damage.

Over time and without mana support, she charge with 9 while in same situation Anne charge for 8. Also Anne has a better class.

My opinion by reading the card. Maybe the reality is different when I fight her in e.g. raid. Anne is a nightmare to meet by experience.
Let’s hope we will see some reviews soon.

Now it is time to hunt her :wink:

Happy gaming

Maybe Ceto is better when enemies have less than 50% health (given Anne would only hit 1 :stuck_out_tongue:)

Tbh these days I just skim the cards as they have become somewhat complicated and I don’t have the patience to analyze every special anymore…what attracted me to this girl was the mana reduction (first thought Alasie) not so attractive but like her art details… 50 pulls will saved/ws tokens and 24 gem pulls later I got her plus galapagos & the new 3*
I will take her to 3/70, play around with her and then decide what place she has in my roster.
Good luck everyone!

Cannot believe this :poop:

Lol I was literally taking this week off from spending, as I went full budget last week and walked away disappointed (not to mention the Solstice fumble that I went hard at.:sweat_smile:)… but with $2 in my budget bank, this happened:

:sunglasses:

I don’t have Anne, so hell yeah, I’m happy! She’s clearly not gonna be as great - even if Anne eventually gets nerfed like we saw in beta - but even being one step down from her still means she’ll be amazing as hell. & Since most Tales heroes are kinda lame - esp the other two featured - I feel extra blessed right now :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Did you end up spending the other $1 on another pull or did you stop there? :crazy_face:

@L33tVortex12596 congrats on pulling Ceto too, if she’s next for ascension be sure to share your experiences with her once she’s levelled up! :slight_smile:

Congrats :partying_face:
You mean 24k gems I suppose :wink:
Cost me similar to your effort and now she is at 4.80, she works very well together with Odette!

Lol idk if it was a mistake, or my powers of manifestation need to recharged, but he was supposed to be Oceanus :sweat_smile:

darn powers on the fritz :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

@L33tVortex12596 same to you; so so very happy for you :blush: (& @A-Sweden). Can’t wait to hear ya’lls thoughts, once you’re able to give her a chance :grin:

@A-Sweden I meant this ^ 2 10 pulls and what I thought was 4 single pulls but in reality turned out to be 3

@RandaPanduh …Oceanus …wow now that would have been a dream come true! He’s quite an elusive guy! :wink:

why with odette? besides being from the same elemental colour

There are probably even better to pair with?

Odette delete friendly positive effects, hence any allies focused on status effects on enemies pair well with her.

I also tried 3-2 where also Phantom was in the team, but he will write over Cetos effect.

Happy gaming

Shes clearly better than the rest of that untold bunch thats already released - except phorcys whos better than all of them combined

But cant help myself she feels like a budget anne/jove…
Could have bumped that initial damage to 380 %+ and she still would have been balanced compared to anne/jove

4 Likes

Exactly my thought as well. Jove/Anne are so far beyond her even with her 2nd slower charge.

I really feel like they should have given her the 2nd charge first without the water damage, and keep her 2nd charge unchanged. This way she is hitting one for 415% and the rest for 207.5% for both charges.

4 Likes

Dont know why panther costume does 280 to all while cetos damage gets reduced to minor

She has those incredible att stats on her side right now which makes her damage higher than you might expect at first thought - plus those nice little passives
I expect that second charge to be almost on par with joves damage (if those passives kick in)
But second charge is sooo slow

With SGs new found love for increasing power stats every week for 20 points that att stat might be outdated in another 4 weeks lol
Her class also does suck - they could have given her a cool class like anne or dodge or resist at least
So she looks like a poor mans ann/ve now
Some small tweaks could make her really cool easily

Dont know whats up with that untold portal - right now looks like a test portal for minor versions of soon to be released stronger heroes and some more outcasts :sweat_smile:

Except phorcys whos a better hero than all of the other untolds combined together
