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:

Does this release complete all C2 heroes on the chamber, or is there anything missing?

This should determine whether or not I draw here.

Melendor in particular brings an Attack buff to green, which isn’t the most common - Heimdall notwithstanding, his is pretty low. The buff dispel and health regen are less interesting IMO (maybe if it were boosted health, but like this I don’t like it), but the attack buff is awesome for titans, especially if you picked up Tarlak from back then’s Fated Summon.

There will be still some Epic hero secondary costumes which be released only next time.

I just got him this costume but with no overheal / boosted hp it wont get used just for the 50% attack for 3 turns since i have C.Gadeirus for my titan team (48% attack up for 4 turns), but C2 Melendor would be better than Heimdall (30% for 4 turns) for titans depending on your roster.

I just can’t think of a use for this costume. His +attack would be nice for titans but I already have costume Tarlak who buffs to his maximum +attack potential over time and when you add Ratatoskr with +64% tile damage, I don’t see a fit for C2 Melendor since you also need -def, EDD and increased damage taken.

Still nice for the stat boost though.

Pity they didn’t give him a cleanse instead of dispel. While an attack buff is useful, the combination of active dispel from his skill and passive dispel from the Superior Wizard talent makes c1Melendor far superior as a dispeller I think. Thus, the only reason to use him over c1 is if the attack boost specifically is what you are after, which I suspect will be less common than needing him for the dispel.

Had they given him a cleanse instead of dispel, at least he would have a wholly different niche. So I guess his main use for me if I get him will be a start boost for c1Melendor. Such a disappointment to see his potential squandered.

I think the main advantage of this '70s disco stu is the stats rebuilding, so that he’s at last defensively built. Previous iterations had stupidly high attack, with low defense - the same frailty that Sabina has. Ironically, this version is the best suited to have high attack, cause his attack buff prerequisites to use him on titans.

Nonetheless, from my experience, in nowadays meta and with the power of LB2 5* heroes, this 609 hp over 3 turns is completely useless. That’s why I stopped using both Sabina and Melendor in wars/raids - they are both too fragile, and while dispel and moreover Sabinas buff resistance are very valuable, the rest of their build makes them usable only in 4* arena.
