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:

Didn’t get this guy a costume like 2 chambers ago? I still didn’t max it. Would not mind though because base BT, Mel’s and Rig’s skills are decent enough.

Toon Melendor is improvement of ori and better than costume

I guess he’s going to be really good for rush tournies with no fire

The polls are now enabled for this toon costume.

The toon costume is for healing and will work at even the highest power levels if double limit broken. The old wizard costume has superior jinx which is too good to pass. It’s really problematic to emblem Melendor because the base stats are attack oriented and the wizard costume and druid (toon) costume have exactly opposite emblem paths for def+hp.

I like Toon has defense increase, unlike base Mel. Could be a decent tank with Superior Talent (even if nerfed) and Toon Passive in tourneys.

I find it stupid that the third costumes for the four-star heroes hardly contribute much to their stats. For comparison, Scarlett, with two costumes at max, has a power of 731, and Melendor, with a total of three costumes at max, only has 741. They could have incorporated a slightly larger bonus for the third costume in my opinion.

That undispellable defense+ is huge on offense for Nature stacks

Hmm. This one makes for a tougher choice on Melendor costumes. Healing, dispelling, and defense buffing really encroach on c1Melendor’s niche.

So my dilemma is, c3Melendor has the immediate heal which I prefer to HoT, but c1Melendor has a stronger defense buff and more importantly the passive dispel chance due to Superior Jinx.

I will still use C1 for attack Again team with important/lot of bonus.
For example Against Ludwig that Seem obvious that C1 is the best.

In defense and Against team without bonus, the Toon is way better.

So, I guess that the choice really dépend of opponent

I agree. All of his costumes would get some use.

he’s my main Melendor now. combining the straight heal of original Mel and the defense buff of c1 Mel… plus the toon passives, and his stats are also more geared defensively than original Mel’s… just a straight-up upgrade.

I have base and costume version each. I’d like to have 2nd costume version if i got him.

Already got him at 4/70 (+20) and his first costume too. Now I pulled him with the other costumes. Happy to pull a hero which I have leveled.
