Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

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.

[nodrog]

Even with the ridiculous stats and the bypass, I still dont really think these heroes do enough

I mean theyre decent and worth levelling, but they are never going to be in the same league as top tier meta heroes

I guess that makes sense if the argument is that theyre more accessilble to new/F2P players since costume keys are widely available, but then why make them require such an absurd amount of materials to level up?

[PlayForFun]

I have just enabled the polls.

[MountainMann]

Has the base and toon already maxed
Stats with matching monk 5 star troop

[Violent.Wounds]

Looks deadly!!

…and remember to lock the card

[MountainMann]

NEVER!

Hits for around 1800-2000 against new 90-25 heroes.

[Violent.Wounds]

@MountainMann

Hits for around 1800-2000

[Violent.Wounds]

I would love to get him…
…in all these years, I’ve never managed to grab any of his costumes…not even C1! Keeps eluding me

[Oxide]

@Violent.Wounds

I’ve never managed to grab any of his costumes…

Same here and my poor Leo is also waiting on a Tome Of Tactics

( Perhaps the Visiting Outfitter and this new Hero Coach can help )

[Jack.O.Kent]

Not sure if he’s worth levelling

[MountainMann]

From zero, probably not, unless you have no other projects. Good option when the hero coach goes live tho

[Jack.O.Kent]

I’ve had the base at 4/80 for a loooong time, I just need to do the costumes. With 126 monk master emblems I could put them to worse use

[MountainMann]

Yeah then definitely id say. At least the costunes lvl fast ( heavy food investment) and toon and glass all share the same path.

[Jack.O.Kent]

Yeah that same path really helps a lot.

[Violent.Wounds]

@Oxide

Perhaps the Visiting Outfitter and this new Hero Coach can help

We’ll need 4 outfitter purchases to get to his glass costume… Plus wait until each of the newer costumes becomes eligible for outfitter.

I’m really looking forward to hero coach though… Leveling from 3/70 to 4/90 is quite cheap… And I would probably level up a hero that would otherwise sit at 3/70 forever for the want of asc. mats/aethers

[dansing]

Got him

[Violent.Wounds]

My luck has turned after all these years!

I never managed to get any costume for Leo until now…not even his first costume…
…and he’s here finally…in all his glory!!!

As a bonus, also got G.Marjana
