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:

Why the Fox minions are different on the costume and the original?

They should definitely be the same (the costume ones ofc)

Is this the first such situation in the game?

Does every minion gives 7% mana so 3 of them 21% each turn ?

Maybe i am not considering everything correctly, but this costume seems just a little bit underwhelming, IMO.

Compare with justice,

Justice: Slow, 285%, -40% for 4 turns.
C-Inari: Avg, 210%, ‐40% for 3 turns, + minions.

I suppose she’s more balanced among all the game’s heroes than the typical new hero, but i was expecting something a bit more powerful.

Very little chatter :eyes: Just pulled her

Don’t sweat it @Chenowyn the lack of chatter is not due to Costume Inari being a bad hero, but because SGG in their infinite wisdom and charity have not yet seen fit to figure out a way to increase Atlantis Coin production so F2P and to a degree C2P won’t be able to pull much in this portal. Further, all the big spenders and whales likely already have the Atlantis heroes or have no desire for them especially with better portals out there. As such few people are going to end up with her costume.

All that said, I like Costume Inari more than vanilla Inari however I like the fact that neither one invalidates the other. Vanilla still has a strong dodge of 56% (I think, can’t remember off hand) which is nothing to sneeze at. Costume dishes out more damage and her minions aren’t conditional like Vanilla’s, so there is a very real reason to use her as well.

A nicely balanced costume and hero :+1: congrats on your pull

True, Justice hit’s for more and the blind lasts a turn longer, but Inari is Average and she has minions that can help with mana gen for herself and nearby allies.

Like you said, balanced but not hugely powerful. I view her the way I view Neith, both very useful heroes to have and use in both offense and defense, but they obviously are no Milena (though not many heroes are are they).

@Petri Costume Inari need little love ( buff)

  • Deals 250% (from 210%) damage to all enemies.
  • Summons a Sakura Fox Minion for the caster and nearby allies. Sakura Fox Minion has 20% (from 12%) HP and 30% attack inherited from the caster. The minion adds 10% (from 7%) mana to its owner at the end of each turn.
  • All enemies get -40% accuracy for 4 (from 3 ) turns. Chance to miss is also applies to offensive Special Skills.

Looks like you are establishing a hero from S2

Exactly what I came to ask. Does anyone have the costume or used her in beta and can let us know? If its 7% per minion that is significantly stronger

Hey,

Does anyone have picture of LB costumed version with emblems on def path?

Previously i been thinking the normal with costume bonus is the better of the 2, but after the buff I been really liking the guaranteed minions when farming and raid attacks (yes, the minion mana stacks to max 21% mana per turn) and she gets so much mana novadays (costume 5%, druid 4%, alone in family 3% + those minions 7-21% per turn and thats without a bard or troops) so im tempted to change emblems for her side. Currently i have her on attack path since its the same as non costumed def path.

I’ve only missed 2 defence nodes (Including the +19) one on this build. You’d get an extra 41 Def points. She works well.

I loved OG Inari (dodge ftw) but the minions are super useful. I’m debating levelling a second Inari to have the dodge / blind duo.
