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.

It is sad that Elena is one of main story characters and she have some of the worst costumes.

She looks like she got injected with Extremis from Iron Man 3. Kinda like it though, it just looks lazy. Change armor slightly and paint lava on her body. Job done.

Elena is the main character of the game and for that role she signed a contract for being immune for buffs/balance updates for 10 years and being mediocre in all her costumes versions.

So I got her second costume from HA10, leveled and LB’d her, but emblems here are optimal for 1st costume:

unfortunately rogue and paladin trees aren’t very compatible for a counterattacker, so i’m going to need to pick one side and stick with it. this one does a lot more damage upfront with the trade off being that the counterattack scales instead of being a flat 155% all 5 turns. if i redo it for paladin, i’ll get sixty more attack, bringing it over 1000, and enough health to be over 2000 also.

Both talents are good but arguably paladin is better since she can heal herself after taking damage. Although druid might have been even better (see the absolute PITA that is c2Cyprian).

does anyone have her and prefer one side over the other?
