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

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

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.

Base Gunnar has fallen back in recent years because there are so many better alternatives for tournaments. His toon costume doesn’t really do much for him, since when it comes to ice heroes I’d still rather bring eg. Dawn, Swan Maiden, Joukahainen or even Toon Karil. Maybe worth leveling just to improve the stats of the offensive costume.

[Sartana]

I’m with you, yorkaturr. It’s easier to find defensive alternatives (like the heroes you mentioned, adding Planchet for his cover) than it is to find regular DD in an Ice 3* hero. I’ll use the first costume much more.
