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.

[Tamika]

My fingers (and toes) are crossed for this one, actually mainly for the stat boost for original version

[dansing]

Finally will level up for helping out the enemy dark😈 tanks😈

[Vandermar1979]

Should have stopped on my second pull, considering the 18 after this did not provide anything lol

[Cantadult]

Does she only reflect damage & ailments from dark special skills or all?

[drdare]

Consider the reverse Ursena. same mechanics but opposite colour

[jkdevore]

I pulled her and Green Knight on tokens. The knight looks like a great tank. Im not seeing the what they did with Guin for a defense. I see her as an offensive healer vs a team with a couple of purples and she will shine there

[Tidyup]

Yeah! Guin’s comeback

[Tidyup]

She and jequn will be freaking annoying on defence

[Tidyup]

Oh no, her special is just a slash attack

[Ameba]

[Wahoo78]

Wow did not know what you meant untiI just ran her doing some farming… hands down one of the worst special animations I have seen.

[Sorvina]

Maybe it’s the same bug as with Fenrir’s costume? Somebody who has her should report this.

[Star150m]

the quality is going down with every release.

they did this mistake several times ir is a surprise to see it continue (roc c, perseus c, … etc)

[Tidyup]

The most regal and graceful animation reduced to a slash attack. It will be patched back anyways

[A-Sweden]

What synergy are you thinking of?

Happy gaming

[Tidyup]

(Reviver), Jequn flank, aramis, (attacking flank), guin wing. I cannot fathom the thought of ever putting guin on the wings, like the world has been whacked upside down

[Litzor1989]

guess I have some heroes to work on now…

[Ripobin_The_First]

Got her! My poor 4/80 Guin (my first fully levelled 5*) needs to dust off her armour. And Zeline will need to take her place on the bench. (Emblem swap party!)

Edit - thinking long term, a Ma’at / Meresankh / Ludwig / CGuin / Serandite team would be fun on defence

Edit edit or a 3-2 Meresankh / Ludwig / cGuin / Karnov / Neith
