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:

Costume good for titans if you don’t have Fogg. Other than that I’d use the regular one

I like Almur and use him a lot, in 4* tournaments, challenges and titans. I even used limit break on him.
This costume doesn’t had any value.

A good heroe for titans, I’m happy with it costume :blush:

If you had 5* EDD, Almur was pretty useless besides mono green teams or no red 4* tournaments. His damage output was really low by himself
I think this costume is actually improvement

Although costume specials do not provide a significant value, stats increase on regular version are welcome, since he is used a lot in war offense, even by players in competitive alliances.

Fogg hit only one. Unless you have Evelyn that hits three, it leads to better results to pair Almur with some of the many 5* Nature hit-3 heroes than Fogg.

Or to use 5* that actually hits 3 and then another one for the same effect but better stats and some other useful ability

Can you give examples? I have Frigg, C Francine, C Caedmon. They all have better stats and the total hit is not as strong as the hit when you replace any of these three with Almur and you hit first with him.

Looks for titan purpose, mini cheap fogg

Ok, we agree Almur is a budget hero

Definitely. But he and Evelyn are also (to my knowledge) the only hit-3 elemental defense down for nature. So if you don’t have Evelyn, I don’t think there is another hit-3 for Nature to maximize the effect of the many hit-3 Nature heroes.

Vanilla chao with green EDD

I only now noticed that the costume bonus is only 3%-3%-6%-1%. Shiishhh! Another level of cheap from Zynga.

Just got this lazy costume, what a shame.
Low attack to one, mana cut (lol) and just EDD to 3 turns?
Since this char can be used just for titans, idk why is so lame.
Change his EDD for normal def down for 4 turns at least.

Well you get a nice stats boost to the original one especially that he will be more useful with the new proposed change to max health reduction.

Congrats on pulling the costume!

Reminds me of regular Chao. And I used to have fond memories using him back in the day. He does a lot and wins matches with just a mana cut
