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:

Lift of ailments should go first, since he doesnt do anything else…
Remains subpar hero…

Please give him some love before release

I do have him. He is fully leveled, emblemed and LB.

He is pretty useful during very fast war, keeps Alrike’s mindless attack away. Also during buff busters, adding 3 or 4 buffs depends on if you have another 2018 HOTM.

Costume would be useless for very fast wars against Alfrike. It would still work for buff busters with reduced number of buffs.

If I receive him, I would level his costume because I already have the original form.

But otherwise I do not think, it is worth it. Unless you have no other choice.

I feel like he should be the healing version of lady Loki. Increase healing for each ailment reflected back

Kinda like him, unlike C-Aegir who seems to be terrible. Healing and debuff cleanse and distribution is handy and goes better than with damage (looking at you, Lady Loki). Still agree with @Cerevan_the_Omni that lift should come first, to get rid of heal reduction or Xiaotu’s heal block + dmg.

Wouldn’t mind him also doing something in plus, because C-Rigard is still better barring stats and he’s easier to ascend and limit break, and he has second costume coming to make stat difference even lower.

Remarkable achievement of making a hero and costumed version that is not working for many players…

No need to waste precious gems on this hero. In today’s meta, buff should affect all, not just nearby.

I think he is an okay hero, but I agree with all that he needs some better balancing. As @Noxyking said, he should lift the ailments from all especially considering that The Hatter pulls all buffs from all enemies and is also Average speed. Also as @Cerevan_the_Omni said the lifting of status ailments should come before the heal.

Currently Ana-Belle and Diaochan are still much better healers than C.Aeron. I will use him since I pulled him, but he does need a little love to really be a part of this meta.

The costume card is updated with the latest balance update.

I wish there could be a new poll after the costume buff. The stats are a lot better. Id like to know how much that changes the calculations. I just pulled him and would like to know whether hes worth investing resources into leveling him up or whether I should simply trade him in at the next Soul Summons. For example, I only have two 5* purple healers (regular Xnolphod and Anoushka). I have a second Anoushka. Would Aeron be better than a second Anoushka? Aeron just looks so trash
