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.

What do y’all think of this costume? If I’m not mistaken he’s pretty good, like a 4* El Nadahha

[Star150m]

it is a great costume.
i am glad he didn’t get nerfed from the beta.

he is solid and very useful 4* with excellent utility and damage.
4* need more like this, i find 4* events and tournaments very boring due to not having many decent utility heroes there.

[Kenzo]

Thanks for confirming! It was a little quiet on this thread so I wasn’t sure lol. Usually when there’s a new desirable hero people are discussing about chasing it…

[Star150m]

mostly they do for 5*
4* and 3* usually get ignored unless they provide something completely new and strong​:rofl:

[Kenzo]

True, though there was a lot of commentary around Waddles lol. Guess it’s a new skill for a 4*

[Jfinthecity]

Just summoned him and definitely happy, makes the base hero stronger with a second costume bump and it’s a solid set of skills for the second costume. Makes him as strong or stronger than S1 5* heroes and a solid hero again for 4* events

[Noxyking]

4-star Evelyn. Get him

[Gwniver]

Beautiful art work

[The_Seeker]

He does not apply EDD - that is Almur. Instead he buffs blocks so El Naddah is the similar 5* . Love him though, I’ve been using the base version a lot (together with Fogg). Now I need to find a new pairing…

[drdare]

He will be a poor man’s (not so poor) counter for M&M. As long as the minions don’t pop up again.
Couldn’t get him, but some day thinking of using him on the top league.

A total beast this guy elf is:

Almur-Marcel-c2Caedmon will put some serious dent in 3 heroes

[PlayForFun]

It was brought to my attention that I missed the add the other old costume for which version is better question.
So I have adjusted that poll. and previous results for that poll are became hidden.
Sorry for missing that earler.

@The_Seeker

El Nadds doesn’t dispel so Caedmon has the advantage there. Yes, the Nads does more damage & does damage per each attempted buff application but IMO dispelling is more important & crucial as I have a lot of success with Hypnos who also dispels & gives buff immunity. It’s a pity to have 1 without the other !!! Caedmons new cozzie rocks !!!

[The_Seeker]

Her passive gives her 50% chance to dispel when firing her special skill and the dispel happens prior to applying the buff block.

But for a 4*, Caedmon C2’s special is very good, no complaints.

[Kenzo]

Sorry I’m a bit confused with second costume bonuses. I know that if you max a second costume, then other costumes also get a bonus. But if you max the second costume without maxing the first costume, is there less of a costume bonus?

[BlackZed]

Yes. Original hero won’t get full CB. Just CB from C2.

C1 will get CB from C2.

C2 stats are maxed. Till C3 is released. Heh heh

[0valRainbow]

[Kenzo]

Okay that is extremely confusing for my tiny brain But thanks mate, I think understand! Essentially if I’m only planning to use his C2 then I don’t need to worry about maxing C1.
