Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about "unfair pulls")

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.

Looks like I was too harsh with my hating on the easter portal, the CB buff and his buff after beta makes him a rather interesting guy to have!
Of course now they took him out of the featured list, so I am back to not giving a FCK. But for those who get him anyway: Congrats!

[L33tVortex12596]

Figures the one I actually want is not a feature hero…

[Gargon]

That´s what we get when they finally release a good seasonal hero. Apparently it´s either junk and featured or strong and not-featured. Can´t remember the last time there was one strong and featured… might have to go back all the way to Ukkonen…

[PlayForFun]

The hero card is updated with the changes.

Its on purpose so harder to get. ^^

[L33tVortex12596]

71 saved tokens and a cow later…

Victory!

[2puttshaqur]

I was hoping for Ethel, but archie is a solid get .

I’ll check his non costume thread for interesting pairings, but right now I’m leaning towards my team with

C hulda
Hathor
Daroga
Fortuna

With the mana gen bonus, he will go off in 3 ghosted tiles or 6 normal tiles…

I was also considering a narcisa led team… Hey, Ray, matilda perhaps and archie. Just thinking of what could be.

[jakethesnaKe7]

I got him he’s not bad definitely a great counter if he can fire before someone like Garten or a riposte hero

[Skeens]

Anyone have Archie’s costume maxed? Can you post a screenshot of it?

[MountainMann]

Not Master emblems maxed

[Piro]

WOW! What where the odds? I’m very glad.
