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:

I had to open base Nats’ description on second tab to see what exactly has changed. That really speaks for itself.

Right? I wouldn’t mind the static costume bonus - and overall the costume seems like a greater increase in DoT than decrease in mana-gen - but it’s really less an interesting option and just a way to get a mild tweak + stat increase.

It’s very sad… should just boost the original and be more creative for the costume as it’s supposed to be something new. This way you have to pay and gamble for a hero to be made barely relevant.

Horrendous costume, the most redundant set of costumes ever made. Only redeeming thing here is that she is kinda hot

Pulled her from the Legends portal just now (so the poll can go live :)).
Sadly her stats & special are very underwhelming.

I would expect a featured & costumed hero to be above average (doesn’t have to be A++, but at least a B level hero). This one is not even a C level hero.

  • No passive
  • Low damage to only 1 target (no initial damage, then 235 damage for 4 turns), which can easily be healed back
  • -50% mana generation for only 1 target, which some classes have resistance for and is much weaker than ‘mindless attack’

If the special would hit more enemies (like Bjorn, 1 + random other, or like Yang Mai,1 + x% chance for extra attacks), then it would at least be a B level hero…

I just completed the tower and did 2 pulls, got c.Natalya.

Was hoping she would be a boost to the team. Reading above, it appears not!

Oh well, back to levelling Zhabog :sweat_smile:

Edit: On the bright side, im glad the costume gave her more “coverage”… that first outfit was totally impractical for the battlefield :crazy_face:

Zhabog’s ailment extender can compliment her skills though

Ideally, how would i play that? Wait for turn 3 of Natalya’s burn damage to pass, and then fire Zhabog on turn 4, to reset the burn damage?

Cover her best too much

I think the released version has dot for 1300 damage over 4 turns, instead of 940.

1300 is the scaled DOT when she’s fully-maxed at LB2.

Give her burn damage the ability to spread to nearby enemies each turn. Then she would be interesting. These costumes that are nearly the same as the original are boring. I would be fine with that if there were significant improvements. I will pass on this during and after no spend
