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.

[Tidyup]

Works as a double edged sword. Counterattack is already weak and it’s further blocked by the damage reduction. But at the same time it pads any DOTs to sustain him and his neighbours

[Nightmare2048]

Since damage reduction happens after counter attack, enemies will take 80% of full damage before being reduced. This is how it works for Sif and I don’t see any reason for which it should be different for C2-Cyprian.

Looks like Isrod and Sif had a kid, btw. Can be really annoying.

[Tidyup]

Oh yeah, stupid me. Okay, he’s not as bad as I first thought

[Nightmare2048]

He looks to be actually quite decent tank. From experience I know C2-Obakan is really annoying. C2-Cyprian trades damage for damage reduction, making them last longer. With good flanks (healer and potent damage dealer or somebody like Waddles) he can be dangerous. However all buffs can be dispelled and Superior Kiril dispels quite often with just tiles. Or C-Melendor, who can dispel with tiles or special.

[VFROOD]

@PlayForFun Meresankh? Looks promising though

[PlayForFun]

Thx, I have copied those few polls from that hero.
Now I have fixed the poll captions for the problematic polls…

[H.V]

80% riposte to 3 is very weak. To all it would be ok, but still only ok, not really impressive.
The damage reduction does not do any good either for a riposte hero.
At least he has a bit better stats than base hero.
The aether power is also good for him, but I don’t feel it being enough to justify giving him very rare alpha athers.

[Dannyoh31]

The damage reduction is done after the counter so it is useful. 80% isn’t that high but you get a much more useful mana gain like c2 obakhan which is pretty good.

[Tidyup]

He might actually be better than 2c obakan at certain areas because he is druid and he has health recovery. He’s extremely tanky.

[anon73591153]

I decided to LB2 him, that counterattack + damage reduction combo is awesome. I also need a new purple tank because my current one is Bera.

I found that this post give the link to itself .

[Fara]

How is the combination with Brynhilde?

[Redgoat]

I get confused with these 3 costume heroes. Im about to second LB mine also as i think he’s totally worth it. Can you tell me if i have to bring the other 2 versions of the hero to level 80 to get his full stats or just the original and this one? I hate to waste time leveling versions i don’t plan to use if it’s not necessary. Thanks very much for your time in advance.

[anon73591153]

You need to limit break the original form and level it up to 75, the max level for the first limit break. Then you need to use the 3 alpha aethers and other aethers to limit break the original form again. You don’t have to bring the original form to level 80.
You can leave the first costume at level 70 and you will still be able to bring the second costume to level 80 without any problems.

[Control_Freq]

He’s been my most successful tank since I got him, lolz.

[TalBane]

Nice! One of S1 4* that is good have. His damage reduction and mana gen is great. Good hero to have!

[Redgoat]

You’re a life saver! Tyvm for the screen shot of each one. Much success to you.

[Holodigm]

Would anyone happen to know why this hero would get healed after an Empowered Thorn Minion is summoned? Just saw it and I’m very confused, she healed for 243hp in addition to summoning the minion.

Edit: nevermind
