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

Fast healer with potencial of 4.2k HP+ minion of 1.4k HP (besides it’s NOT mega minion, so enjoy 2 additional ones while trying to get rid of the first one)
This is beyond broken hero now. Usually i’m not against OP heroes and trying to just “go with the flow”, but this is serious problem.

Her and 5 star troop will soon dominate top defense. Too much for one hero: mana speed, minion skills and more important: a big slap to FTP player who just get Xiaotu for minion skill block. Congrats ZG, big balance coming to your account!

This is joke.
At fast speed she will heal for ~1000, boost health by 1000 (bcs you cannot destroy Minions) and each turn steal buffs from opponents.
Hathor, which is considered as one of the best card right now, looks near her like 4* hero.
The way Zynga is destroying this game is riddiculus. For me it is over, i stop spending any money.

Made a Forum account just to comment here, because this is by far the most broken hero costume in the entire game, making even the owls and goblins look like 4* heroes.

If it were “just” the costume stat bonus, the raw power boost would already be silly. (Compare to just about any other costume bonus in sheer size, ever, except for Toons, which only apply to S1 and require leveling three costumes.)

Heck, original Diaochan’s minions had the weakness of being kinda smallish, but cDiaochan’s got a beefy upgrade “just” in terms of hit points.

But then LOL BREAKING THE RULES with the “unstoppable” business on top of all this?

It’s one thing to introduce new mechanics, but this run of “lol new game mechanics ignores/breaks existing rules to be MOAR BETTERER” — from Growth/Wither, to sorta Mega “Minions,” to owl’s Moonrise X, to Insanity, and now “minions that can’t be blocked or removed or stopped from functioning”

I


This game is feeling more and more like Psychology PhD thesis on how much you can tear apart a favored pasttime before folks finally abandon it en masse.

Well, actually Owls are 4* heroes except Lodius and Timius.

The unstoppable minion buff is relatively expected because the Xiaotu buff blocking all minions from being effective is extremely strong. Minion block is so strong I basically use Xiaotu even if a single enemy has minions. This new buff is currently just on two heroes, so only the really lucky or big spenders will get it.

Eventually there will be a new buff/hero ability that blocks these specific buffs (that are on the bottom left of the card), kind of like how some heroes block talent activation.

The bigger issue to me is how much the costume buffs stats. 1450+ is a big jump when they were only just reaching ~1400 with new releases.
