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.

Worth it?

[myth007]

It depends.

If you are starting from scratch with the lvling maybe not.

As others have said the new glass costume only really adds stats cause its worse than Toon costume.

For Obakan you prob. run him the most in his fighter form anyway. Which still is a decent hero but there are for sure better purple heroes out there

[Jack.O.Kent]

Got him, wanted the Elk as I already have him and his costumes maxed but very happy, after doing glass Richard he’s next.

[JoshuaK]

Obakan was my first 5*, I’ve been lucky enough to pull every costume the day of release. A lot of people give him a hard time but, we work with what we have. Sure there are better heroes out there but, realistically, who has them all?

As for the glass costume, the reflect @ 60% has a good probability of activating. Raw damage, to me, is pretty good, 400% to one, Minor to two, and his stats are fairly high with the costume bonuses. May not be the best of the best but, he’ll do. He’ll do…

[myth007]

Ofc he will but the Toon or Fighter costume just seems better than the glass version - which is a shame… wish they had made the glass version worth chosing cause it looks much better

[JoshuaK]

I’ll agree, the glass costume could be better, but, like the toon costume, it’s not much more than the base hero. The toon and now the glass I shall not limit break, but it definitely boosts the stats of the fighter costume. What would be even better is if the costume passives transferred to the base hero like season 5 heros get a costume passive that passes back to the base hero. As for my comment that glass Obakan will do, it’s simply for the additional costume bonus.

[Mika]

It would be great If other costumes would get the costume passives, but since toon and Glass costumes have different passives, which one to get copied to th ebase and other costumes? So I think that is not happening, since it will completely negate the need for Glass costumes at all other than for a simple stat boost, which is why I think Glass costumes are so boring… They are essentially just 15% attk and def boost to toon costumes, nothing else…
