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:

Can´t believe this doesn´t get buffed before release. Or maybe I am just missing something? Is she really loosing 72% damage just to increase the length of the buff by 1 turn??? Who is supposed to be interested in this? The hero was junk before and now gets worse? Yes I know the stats get updated, which is fine, but new stats are not much use if the hero stays alive to do nothing at all. But let´s buff Satori instead lol.

You mean an average speed 300% sniper isn’t desirable? :exploding_head:

She was a little interesting when talents where first introduced. As a rogue she’d become Neo from the Matrix (simpler times)

The only way I’d find a use for this hero is if the attack buff scales to at least Gazelle level, though ideally Ranvir / Wu Kong levels. But even then you’d need to be slapped by every minion out there.

Has / could anyone test the upper limit, please?

Wow, she got no buff from beta. Even if this was at very fast speed, she would still be a very bad hero compared to what’s out there today. Even old school Malosi looks overpowered in comparison to her.
She’ll definitely need a hero balance discussion thread because for me, she’s the worst hero in the game at the moment.

Think it was Hurricanes LB2. I really need the XP to finish him off in time for war. 4/80 Khiona took one for the team. No regrets after seeing the results of this costume.
