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:

wouldn’t she still be completely useless outside of boosted health even with the +50% special skill boost?

I guess she needs to hit the target and nearby for 250% damage to be classied as -Decent- hero. But extra attack needs to be for only the target.

What on Earth is this :poop:??
250% to ONE? That is -mediocre- hit THREE damage right there.
It should be hit 3, but keep that extra dam to the target. Even then she wouldn’t be anything special. No one will be spending their snack money in this portal.

250% to 3 isn’t even that good anymore

No. Mediocre at best.

Oh, Kith already made this point.
So, I guess that’s two votes on hit-3 :smile:

Observe the way to write -decent- and -mediocre- ! :smile:

I maxed Aouda and found her special tough to time. Do you wait until healer goes off? Is Aouda ready? Are you ready to hit with some other hero that will take down the over heal and negate the special anyway?

Now that I see this useless costume come out, I will reset the emblems the next time a worthy rogue comes my way.

Special skill name is Scepter Of Bundelkhand (Not Blade).

Skill details are correct.

• Deals 250% damage to the target
• Deals 1140 extra damage if the target has boosted health,

Looks like a specialist, and given boosting is even more common now than it was when original Aouda came out….

…I mean, of course you’re not going to bring cAouda against non-boosting enemies, but if you’re not exactly dripping in “max health reduction” heroes, she can help some players solve the problem of “this overhealer is keeping everyone at double max hit points.”

16

Well most new heroes at level 90 have above 2000 health without boosting and if we talk about boosted health+2000 it would make at average …umm 2500 or 2600
250% would cut i think 500hp or less + 1140
1640 from 2600 it leaves around +900
Thats not good for a sniper
Hurricane can kill 3 in one shot even if they have boosted health they will die 2 turns after
His burn is so op
Anyway im just a f2p this field is for the big players im prolly wrong lol

17

original is poor… costumed just exists in the most niche of situations. Honestly… how did they make her worse?

Just have her be a Horus like sniper…she hunts misty very well though, since misty overheals very little

I don’t think SGG ability designers are in touch with current power levels.

Sure, 1140 sounds like a large number, but it’s barely half a health bar for most LB2 heroes - so if they have boosted HP, they’re guaranteed to have a surplus.

To make matters worse, at LB2 attack levels, going from 450% damage to 250% may lose more raw damage than you gain on the conditional increase.

…and then you have the coming-soon goblins that clear bonus health passively as a family bonus.

Ridiculous.

I think they’re not even touching their game. This is not damage reduction, this is conditional effect where if the target has boosted health, it deals extra damage. The regular one made sense because it was to snipe huge amounts of damage and if there’s still some boosted health left, the 500 damage is applied. This one. The snipe is so weak, it defeats the purpose of the extra damage

21

If this 1140 hit was “reduce max hp” she would be great sniper.

Massive “damage” on non boosted health enemies and double the effect on boosted health.

Sadly this is just “do X if Y” which usually sucks (like Esme and her fiend protection)
