More Insights & Reading

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

If youā€™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:

I love him and havenā€™t stripped him from emblems, but he only comes into play when I face LotL or Rubyā€¦ I want this costume really bad, but I will not pay for itā€¦ Pair hin with M&M, Arco, Rhys, Celidana or another hero of you choice that boost health and he will be annoying again.

So much fun in beta. His costume is what he should have been to begin with.

Itā€™s just a straight up buff for a mediocre hero. I wish they would stop doing that with costumes. Just fix the hero! Also, I appreciate when a costume gives a hero a different ability, making both forms useful.

Itā€™s just a direct buff of the original Baldur. Everything the same, just better numbers. So everything which costumes should NOT be.

Nonetheless, the guy has quite a punch right now. With water piping here and there he could be really handy.

Lucky enough to pull him todayā€¦ Abilities r ditto same as original with bumped up numbersā€¦ In place of giving a fancy costume, they could have fixed him in Nov monthā€™s hero balance!!
Or it is another gimmik to make money??
Anyway I m more than happy :blush::grin:

This is the one hero from Valhalla I wantā€¦ of course I wont get it. Not going to spend a penny trying though.

Have to admit, my master plan defense described above isnt working well on first dayā€¦

Dropped me from 2710 to 2550 cup rangeā€¦

Guess Baldurs are too busy looking hot than defending :slight_smile:

Funny,

how C.Baldur was already too weak in current meta, the day he was releasedā€¦
I was cup dropping with him on defense (and fielding big current monsters alongside duo Baldurs) on the day of his release.

We found him appealing, beacuse we saw him 3-4 months before he was released and there were less strong heroes availableā€¦But power creep is too rapid!

Hope he gets a bit of buff!

And I hope you are able to enjoy 4x Baldur whether he gets buffed or not! Iā€™d love to see your master plan fall into place and see you top 100 in events with quad Baldurs :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire:

Ty brother,
will push for it :slight_smile:
I feel I can prepare them in january challenge event :slight_smile:

Last challenge event, I finished around 2000th place with only 2 Baldurs and maybe 10 retries for all 10 lvls combined :slight_smile: A lot of room to improve!

so how much better is he with the costume ? I had just stripped his emblems a couple of weeks before pulling his costume, and now Iā€™m wondering if I should reemblem him.

He is alot better. His first cast is a snipeā€¦

Truth is, power creep is soo steep, that even on first day of release, I was cup dropping on defense with double costume Baldursā€¦

So use him/them for offense :slight_smile:
