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

• What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about "unfair pulls")

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.

Hahahahahaha make Obakan even more OP with extra stats!
He already revives 20 times in a row and then fires his special every time.

[Maximo101]

Wow 3rd costume bonus is ridiculous

[Geert1986]

Yeah I pulled him today. My first s1 hero with more then 1 costume in the last 250 pulls in 2 years…

I was wondering what costume is better this toon costume or the 2nd one? The passives are definitely better on the toon costume. But i have a feeling the special skills on the 2nd costume are a bit better.

Can anyone outline his ideas about this?

[Fishy]

Wondering the same. The fighter seems better as a tank with vampire and superior revive.

Maybe the toon is better on offense and possibly on defense if used as a wing?

[ajly19]

I am very happy with this pull :). From the worst hero ever, he became one of the best heroes with his costumes

[CL_Fire]

Toon bonus is nice, but I’m not sure if it’s worth ditching Fighter one, that revival and mana gain is very annoying for the opponent. Triple costume bonus is huge tho.

[Riverwind]

I think I really got purple luck… I stil have to level up Kemeny after Sif… Anyone thinks and feel like this toon graphic for Obakan looks like a hippo or lizard?

[dansing]

Now have to level up the long pending C2 for the crazy stats…

[Ruskin505]

I guess it’s time to limit break my first five star!
Unfortunately I just used my legendary aethers recently so this may be a while. I also expect the next two projects to be Obakan and dup Obakan.

Now I have to decide which version to level first. The toon is probably best for offense (the passives) but second costume is best for tank (where tile damage negates a lot of passives).

[PlayForFun]

Oops. I forgotten to allow the polls, when I have updated the OP with the changes.
Now I have done it.

[sergione22]

My Obakan

[VFROOD]

Relax! Have never pulled a costume for him till today…

1 original from 1-1
3 costumes from 1-1
And i might do LB 1…

Don’t want to know how many ham and trainers… let alone time…

[dusko_m]

My Obakan, holdin his place on a bench for two years

And now this. Time for a comeback

[Corsair]

Yeah other than for the costume bonus I feel like the second costume is still going to be priority and he’ll be getting a lot of time at tank. Just glad because I have needed better dark attack heroes for so long and I very rarely use him at this point. Time to level up three costumes lol. Thank goodness his base card is already done

[Wolfx1131]

Nomination for the worst card art in the game? At least compared to the toon costumes I think it’s definitely up there.

[dusko_m]

Yesterday was super excited but look at this s**t

[Ship]

I’m glad I got him but I can’t get over the lameness of the art. I won’t use this costume bc I don’t want to look at it.
