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:

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

Even changing it to the very first iteration of water damage would be something different. You know, way back when this was originally salmon Loki’s skill

She is way more bulkier though, bulwark with 30% hp minions at fast? Holy crap the staying power is insane here
And also Noor cries in a corner.

One of the beefiest minions now in the game at Fast mana. Not a groundbreaking improvement but it works imho.

She looks like fanart from deviantart. No wonder she looks gorgeous

Disappointed once again that SG seems to have no creative team in charge of specials for costumes.

Not worth summoning because all she is is Bera but with bigger numbers. Really miss the days when they put some effort into costumes and didn’t make them all just paywalled buffs.

Alucard laughs at Bulwark and minions though.

I am trying for Almur costume for consecutive Valhalla’s now and only thing I got were second Freya with costume, second Heimdal and costume and now dupe Bera with costume.

If and it’s a big IF Aramis receives his potential nerf, could she replace him as a tank?

Not at all… She’s still easy target for all those minion eaters around… Grimble, Ogima, Alucard, C. Gormek, etc

Yeah but she’s beefy and vfast with the right setup

Not sure. I think she is purely offensive hero used against minions makers like Waterpipe, Hulda and Sorrow

C Freya is potentially better tank

The original version was a good tank but aged a bit now.

Yes with c Freya there’s a couple of decent purple ladies this portal.

You only got everything, what I want and used hundreds of tokens… ONLY :stuck_out_tongue:
