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.
Wondering About Your Personal Situation?
Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.
If you’d like more extensive advice on sorting out your particular roster, I recommend creating a new thread in Gameplay Help & Tactics, and posting screenshots of your hero roster, along with your questions.
Can be devastating tank in VF anything given 75% resistance to dispels once her special goes off. Maybe even on regular mode as she has that 5% mana bonus, and now ton of HP as well. And she is not as squishy anymore.
That’s a very interesting reworking of her stat distribution to be considerably sturdier. Base Elena has 809/578/1312 stats. Toon Elena assuming no costume bonuses to make the comparison equal has 659/725/1398, making for a massive shift from attack to defensive stats.
Good timing because I have her maxed and have no Tomes so I can work on her in the meantime. I ascended poor girl like 4 years ago and since then she has only rarely seen action (basically never last 2 years) so time to show her some love. In the end, she’s one of main characters!
Well, 5 S1 heroes together have that family bonus that gives them +7% to atk and defense. With their base stats … Yeah. Count in Superior Talents (and Elena is Fighter, so has decent chance to revive and get 50% mana) and their Toon passive and they can be pretty annoying to deal with, especially with good Legendary Troops.
Given that in my experience, taking a hit from a lone Toon sniper is almost always Instantaneous Death for any of my heroes except maybe my own Toons, it’s possible we are working with different definitions of “decent.”
Toons are sufficiently huge and effectively immune to almost everything that it seems like facing a maxed-out Toon team almost requires bringing maxed-out Toons or possibly a pile of Growth/Wither and/or Insanity.
Toon!Elena seems like a gigantic upgrade over other versions not only because of the huge stats (and immensely increased hardiness), but because you basically can’t buff-block or dispel her counterattack, nor can you effectively evade it with DoT because that won’t take either. If you don’t have developed “ignores defensive buffs” heroes who can stand up to a Toon!barrage, once she fires most everything you do is suicide for any of your surviving heroes.
Toons are meant to behave so. And sorry if i offended with the “decent”. I agree they are very powerful. Slow cards like Kaghan, Elena, Isarnia, and Viv have come to life after so many years due to the toon costume. I like them and hate them depending on which side of roster they are.
So if u manage to pull them you can enjoy them as much as you hate to face them
Nah, I hear ya — just so far almost every toon I’ve pulled has been a sniper instead of “new lease on life” Slow; heck, I’ve been using one-costume Vivica for years and would certainly get a LOT of utility from her Toon, freaking-nigh-indestructible bulwark that she becomes. (Or for that matter, my no-costume-but-already-leveled Isarnia.)
It just feels like increasingly many heroes much over a year old, and that haven’t been updated with a costume in the last year or so, are getting a lot harder to use effectively in anything competitive/PvP. I get the whole “wanting players to like or want or really want new heroes” thing, but when more of the game increasingly feels like it’s been effectively gatekept by a burly bouncer next to a sign “Your Heroes Must Be This New to Enter”…
Thta’s why I am happy I got Elena. I maxed her waaaay back when I had small amount of 5*. But I seldom used her even back then and now she is just never used. These costumes bring her a new life, which makes me happy.
I forgot how the costume leveling works. Will it make a difference if you have her c1 and c2 costumes maxed or at 4/1 or can we keep them at 1/1 ? not ready to throw feeders at her other costumes if leveling them isn’t gonna make a difference.
