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:

pleasantly surprised to see more 3* costumes. it’s a me thing; with the s1 3* heroes, I don’t think we’ve heard anything about round 2 costumes, so I generally don’t expect anything for other 3*

anyway, at least there’s a better chance I’ll get something new when summoning in the Underwild portal

I’m surprised there’s been no criticism of this costume, it’s absolutely f’in awful. 411 over 3 turns is horrendous, cBelith is better.

Frosty can heal too.
Or Guardian Lemur, but he might be worse for this tournament.

Or Virgil.

Agreed. This costume is trash. Costume is much worse than base. Very lazy. Other than buff booster HoT is always worse than direct heal. I am very disappointed in this costume since base is one of the better 3* healers.

HoT sucks and the costume bonus for one s4 3* costume isnt worth it. Please stop making direct healers worse with HoT costumes that dont heal enough! Especially with all the dispellers out there.

They should also change the mechanic of HoT to give you some HP immediately then at beginning of each following turn.

Disgusted by Helo and Tettukh costumes. 2 base heroes I enjoy and was looking forward to costumes :face_vomiting:

Does his passive ability extend the regeneration skill by one turn?

Belith is a favourite of mine, won a lot of battles.
C Belith for me is awful, when I play her I lose 4 put of 5.
Do I not get it?

She’s got Superior Jinx. And she blocks dispel.

3 star buff booster and rush no red is basically her niche. I don’t think HoT + 2x buff boost + Joukahainen block is useless, but it is situational rather than being an obvious “use every time”.

I don’t see why his passive wouldn’t extend the regen, assuming it’s one of the first three buffs Helo receives (but then I don’t have cHelo myself, so can’t directly test).

Simply replacing heal with heal-over-time seems… disappointing, without some added flair. (See, for instance, Rigard v cRigard, or indeed, Belith v cBelith.)

Also I generally find it weird that 5* costumes are, even in % terms, Great Big Stat Buffs whereas 3* costumes are, even in % terms, comparatively itty-bitty stat buffs.

I mean, sure, if you have and use Helo, and you land his costume, then you might as well go ahead and level his costume even for the very modest stat buff… but it’s debatable how much cHelo would see play even in 3* Buff Booster tourneys?

Are these percentages for C-Helo correct?
Do they go up when I emblem him?

For now I feel royally ****** for all the effort I took in levelling this costume.

I don’t think so, and I feel the same way. My Helo was fully emblemed from the start but even with the costume 2lb maxed and the og close to max (edit: and now maxed), I still get the same low costume bonus. I would have switched to other projects if I had known.
It’s odd because I also have c Morel and she gets the full bonus.

Legendary and lower ratity costume bonus is different for non S1 costumes.
Of course I agree that it would be good if Rare + Epic costumes would at least reach the S1 level…

That is why I compared 2 rare healers, it didn’t occur to me to mind the difference in seasons.
That makes it clearer for me.

Nonetheless it still is very very very underwhelming and feels smallprint-sneaky.
