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.

[Blord]

I believe this version hits much harder than de C1 Grimm. It’s like a 4* Glenda.

[sleepyhead]

thanks for sharing! I just got him today, and your post helps me figure out how best to use him

[Sartana]

Question: The poll says Grimm’s secondary costume is best used on titans. I’m confused… I thought only regular attack buffs + attack stack (i.e. Wilbur, Wu Kong, Sergei, Freya, etc.) + attack stats are what matter on titans, to increase tile damage. And that special skills outside of these and defense down don’t really matter. If that is true, why is this latest costume useful on titans? It only buffs special skill DAMAGE.

[Sternman]

Put Pengi next to him and blast the titan, tends to be used as a tactic for the top mythic titan hits

[JRH]

I put titans because there was not a separate option for Mythic titans. Same as above, paired with Pengi. Cheaper version of Glenda for that use

[Liam_K]

The most unconvincing postman since Kevin Costner, and still the definition of a glass cannon. But looking forward to him mailing some herrings in the current Challenge event and the Towers

Didn’t reset the emblem path from the original so mostly attack plus the Ranger mana node. Not sure if switching just for the 19th health node is worth the ham/iron.

[Andrewbook]

As someone who has no herring cannon, have you all seen other ways this might work? I’m wondering about pairing with ccMagni.

[Liam_K]

He’ll work with any hit all. My alt uses Glenda + Sobek to great effect

[Liam_K]

So I did eventually reset the emblem path for Def → Atk → HP. He was barely making it to the boss wave of the challenge event, especially the poison stages. Hopefully he’ll survive a Titan hit better…

Still going to LB2 him once I get enough Alpha Aethers

[Andrewbook]

Anyone with a LB2 on him have an image of what non-costumed Grimm looks like with the double costume bonus and the 2LB?

[milkyjoe001]

So, everything else being equal for the sake of argument, which wud do more damage, 1st costume with 50% attack or the 2nd costume with an extra 40% SS damage? Surely the 2nd costume with it being new but I don’t know with SG !! The recent costumes have been barely recognisable from the originals there was that little effort put into their designs !! Frigg, Odin, Fogg, to name but a few of many !!

[Sternman]

Just got him to +20 (had stripped Grimm ages ago), LB’d Grimm & C2, currently feeding but Pengi is tapping his stubby wings impatiently for a minion war now.

[Hydrolysis]

Gonna give him a try now that he’s all leveled up…

[Hydrolysis]

[Fishy]

Is the 40% additional special skill damage more damaging than Magni CC’s -64% defense against special skills?

Perhaps the 40% additional occurs after all other calculations (like franz and buster) while Magni’s occurs earlier in the damage calculation?

Has anyone with both heroes tested this?

Thanks!

[Monkey20]

I have them…only, Grimm will be ready tommorow…lvl87…i’l try

[Corsair]

literally made me change my mind on how to go about soul exchange

[Surferjon]

Question is, what hero is the budget version of Mr. Pengi?
