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:

Good damage output, but it’s pretty much a buff at this point

Man these costumes suck, I remember the days when a costume was exciting. These are all garbage lately.

Have 1 pull and Khufu 2LB already. Lol odds aren’t good. May have to spend a little. I’m gonna want this costume and stay boost

The polls are now enabled for this costume

It seems like the constant release of new heroes and costumes might indicate that the developers are running low on fresh ideas. A good approach could be to flip existing concepts—like turning a cleanser into a dispeller or a defense-down hero into a defense-up hero. Ultimately, costumes are just a way to repackage heroes without making significant changes.

This strategy helps the developers make money without adjusting hero balance, which would benefit players but not necessarily increase revenue. By offering new costumes, they encourage players to spend in order to enhance their heroes.

Initially, when costumes were introduced, the developers were testing player reactions. Positive feedback led them to buff those costumes, as creating new specials for heroes with new costumes might limit their ability to innovate with future heroes. It’s all about maximizing profit while keeping players engaged.

I really don’t like the placing of mighty Khufu in, I was going to say. a biggles helmet, but they are ski goggles

We were introduced to E&P as a game with strengths with story and lore delivered with style. As time went by we were introduced to gods like Thor, Athena, and Zeus but, as time went by, they were superseded by the likes of Timothy.

Then we have figures like Khufu who seemingly have supernatural flight. Why degrade him with a physical need for googles? Why not leave him as great in his time?

I use him strictly for titans. The stat boost would have been welcomed but I agree with the majority here and he’s certainly not worth a chase. Tbh with the looming threat of future or potential nerfs…no card is worth a chase.

It’s already pretty garbage for some time already, any costume since S4 is pure garbage

Slimgo is in the Elemental portal with a whopping 1715 attack but this guy gets a new costume and is only at 1484 attack (that’s 4-90+25), 16% lower. Not sure this enough to make him feel like the Khufu he used to be.

yep. the costume ought to do something close but different. This one other than a bit of power boost is the same. He should have caused fire damage over 5 turns or something for everyone hit

Shadow of former powerhorse huh?
And players wanted it nerfed so badly…
Anyway I am more interested in chasing Waqas costume, will fit better for farming season 5 :slight_smile:

He still packs a decent punch, but you are correct. I remember all the cries and now he’s barely the 10th strongest hero on my team (sans costume at the moment). I typically use on my triple red team or on Monster island vs the hordes for obvious reasons.

Poor effort in the card abilities for the costume and ATROCIOUS art. Humiliatingly bad.

Lives in a desert so he gets a plastics baby pool swimming ring and goggles? Seriously? Who approves that :poop: ? Do they have eyes?

Where is he skiing on the sand dunes? At this point, they might as well just give him a camel to ride!

Am I missing something? Doesn’t his x3 passive and his new ability give him the potential to hit all for 800%+ dmg?

they ignored my idea to have him as an Elvis impersonator.

That would have been fantastic

I never once got the original so getting him in 12 pulls was still a happy thing for me. He may not be the best anymore, but I’m not upset about it
