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:

Thank for the information. Could you please add the costume bonus? (HP, Att, Def bonus, not only mana bonus)

This was my first Wo3k hero … costume would be nice to have…any boost these days is appreciated…
Good luck everyone!
Edit: So 81 pulls netted duplictes of Scorpion lady & (c)Cao Cao the HotM x6 (swear he was just falling out of this portal) and fodder… ofcourse I really don’t know why I still expect anything different from the rngeus.

You can calculated these from the number before / after the costume bonus in the OP.
Or you can check the percentage numbers here:

Pulled this guy. Don’t have the matching troop for the costume. Will run the regular version as the costume version is very similar in stats

I really needed a good green hitter and was waiting for toon kadilen until this one showed up. Very happy to get him. I don’t know if I will max the base hero or the costume… The costume seems clearly better but the class is not great unfortunately. Any thoughts ?

I’ve had Guan Yu since he was first release 2 1/2 years ago. In my experience, it was very difficult to achieve the high end of his defense debuff. So, in my opinion, except for the costume’s class, this costumed version is superior to the base version in stats, special skill and Unstoppable Minion passive. For my part, I intend to reset the emblems on mine to maximize the costume’s shield path.

Can I ask you why do you choose the shield path on this hero ?

My apologies, Arca89. I meant SWORD path, not shield path.

OK now I understand your choice. I asked myself if I missed something or not :rofl:

My thoughts exactly. Ill take the higher DD out right then wait for the minion fest that may never come.

Just pulled him today and already have him at 85

Hey. Can you please post the talent path for the costume? Thank you! I did not max it yet, and want to start embleming the original hero.
