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

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

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.

Not looking forward to facing this hero in Raids. The regular version was a menace before. Now, the frustration will build.

Imagine facing c. Bastet alongside one of these “40% chance to revive” heroes that revive 100% of the time on Defense and the constant stacking of the +10% defense.

Normally don’t like to chase heroes, but I already had the original at level 90, so I’m extra happy to have gnabbed her. Plus I got Sobek in the hunt so guess I’ll play the lotto

EDIT: Plus they pretty much buff the original with those passives, so I look forward to using her the next war.

EDIT 2: I went the defense route with the original if people are curious about the stats

[L33tVortex12596]

She’s still a cutie
I tried my saved tokens but nothing
Congratulations and Good luck

Aug 2022. Bastet is released. I am visiting my mom (who lives a 4-hr plane ride away) and pull him on a single pull.

Fast forward 2 years & C-Bastet is released. I happening to be visiting my mom & figured, can it happen again?

Scored the costume on my second pull.

Her (almost all) black cat, Chico Suave, approves (both times)

Happy gaming!

Randomly C. Bastet popped out of the BF summon…should I be happy?
