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:

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

thank you for your hard work, PFF! Appreciate it tons!

re the costume: pulled it today. A good upgrade to regular Hu, and the special will be more useful than Hu C1 in Bloody. still, outside of Rush, I think Hu’s slowness isn’t the best for taking advantage of accuracy debuff and mana slow… my roster has long since outgrown Hu.

Will still max the costume though - esp. for Rush :slight_smile:

I got him also. I used to have him but fed him away. Won’t know if I’m gonna level him up anytime soon. I still have a lot of unleveled 5 and 4 star holy options who are way better then this guy.
