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:

Lu Bu looks like he ate a few pizzas before putting on this costume.

Really not that different from Madame Giry, and I find myself using Madame Giry quite rarely. Lu Bu does have significantly better stats though. He does not benefit at all from the Unstoppable Minions passive unless you combine him with minion summoners, and compared to Madame Giry his Fiends do less damage per turn, and his damage doesn’t come with any ailments.

I’ll just level him anyway because I have a huge pile of barbarian emblems and a matching fighter troop. I suppose he’s ok if you combine him with a W3K minion summoner, which I don’t have.
