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:

I hope he receives a buff before his release. 340% to target and minor to nearby is what Ahhotep deals.
C2 Caedmon deals 275% to 3, dispels and blocks buffs at the same speed.
I hope I can pull him tomorrow. Both of his previous costumes would help my green team. Plus he’s the only classic green costume I’m missing. Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

Yeah… I liked the hit all version… this one seems underwhelming as you mentioned

The hero card is updated with the changes.

Thanks for all of your hard work. The “which version is better” question is flawed.

Thx for letting me know.
I have fixed that poll too.
I will also check and fix this for the other Toon costume, as probably that is incorrect too.

Could be decent tank now, with higher damage, monstrous stats and that passive that makes next to impossible to put statuses on him or dispel him.

Edit: Speak of the Elf, and you’ll have him on your shelf…

I think I’ll max him. Have enough cleric emblems around. My base is on 3/70 so maxing him will take some time.

My first toon costume. I’ve had his base character and 2 costumes for ages but haven’t bothered to touch him, but with his massive stat boost and toon passives I suppose he’s alright now.

Leveling him up from 0 will probably take 2 months or something, so I’m not sure if it’s worth it since there will be something better around by that time. Will give it a shot though.

I’m still thinking c2 is more useful in defense. The heal reduction n hit all can be useful in lot of situation. But toon had better damage output for the main target. I threw yhe base version I had in se. So I’ll do him slow n steady. I m doing c colen n c cyprian. Maybe after that I may start elk

C2 → defense other than tank, farming
Looney Toon → Tank, offense, especially against Alfirke, Cupido and co.

Toon has that passive that blocks almost everything, and Toon Elkanen is cleric, which if +20 resists mana-affecting statuses 60% of time. Combined, since they explicitly say that Toon Passive triggers independently of other similar effects, we get 0.75+(0.25 x 0.6) = 0.9 = 90% chance of resisting mindless by Toon Elkanen. Nasty. Also hard to put defense down on him, etc. C2 on the other hand is better on flank or wing, as his Superior paladin talent will heal him. And yes, he’s useful against healer heavy team, or and especially with some AoE fiend maker such as Amethyst.

I have had him at 3-70 since the beginning. Now with getting his toon costume all three are leveled to 3-70.

Is this guy worth it? I have a deep bench and not sure if it’s worth my time to take all to final ascension….

Thoughts?

With the new legendary troops from pulls, I’m seeing a few toon Elk. Is it worth it to ascend beyond 3-70 now?

What do you think? He is worth it.

I’m just torn as he never got much love so he has stayed 3-70 for years. Maybe now is the time. :wink:

I maxed mine and use him farming S4 right now. I took 5* Rogue-Paladin troop for Ferrus and it also works well with Elk’s second costume. Like, he has 3.1k HP without any LB. I encountered one (Toon costume) as a tank and he hit my hero for something crazy like 1.7k HP (center of his attack, but still).

He’s decent now.

It is between Elk and Boom. Though I have had my issues facing Boom in def due to its minion, I can’t convince myself to give Boom the last bunch of tonics. I just don’t see where I will use Boom.
Elk toon has a good stat and can increase the survivability of c2 Elk for defense. He will replace Maat. So need to asses my Tome situation and then pull the trigger.

I gave him the mats and then comes in Prince Seigfried. He will get his turn again boom gets neglected.
I recently started using Toon Elk on offense when i see multiple blues on the defense. He is wonderful as his stats and immunity and self heal works well. If he ends as the last card standing, it still gets the win for me at times. Holding my defense as well at 3100.

Toon elkanen is ridiculous that heal and massive damage can take out a whole team of LB while starting at 50% health while resisting status. He’s way too OP due to heal. Need to reduce heal to 5% or 0%
