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:

Ohh, a little bit of bride and groom, and father-in-law role play this month. Too bad I got the bride and not the groom

The hero is updated with the buff. Polls are now enabled.

I guess this is what ultrox should have been?

I think Ultrox was nerfed like this before his release exactly because of this costume to be more desirable.

7

You need 8 red crystals to hit with 440% to all and thats with 920 att stat without “balance” tax… :sweat_smile:
Im not talking about memes like “Khufa crying in the corner” here, but they have clearly lost their grasp on reality here by chasing that golden duck :duck:
LB2 him and just kill all team hero here

P.S. Yes, i know, it’s situational and you need 9 crystals to charge+8 on field, but it’s definetely not that hard to accomplish as Frigg and Odin has showed us, i would say hes imbalanced and reccomend either lowering max dmg output to 360 for example or additional point to max at 12 crystals

8

I would use ultrox on any day on offense before this costume because its just too slow for what its does to use on offense

Dont like this costume - but i dont like those straight defense heroes generally
Thats still his only purpose like his og release - should bring some more exciting stuff than just push some numbers

I’m excited to see him (a S4 hero) in more defenses though, it gets boring facing the same red heroes in top defenses (i.e. Hathor and Aradia). Ready to take this clown down :rofl:

10

I like this hero so much. I’ve a maxed Octros and no Kurfu. This costume will suit me well. Hopefully he comes soon !

11

I got the red Octopus. I didn’t even have original one, so happy to get the new one with costume together. I think I can use this dude with Erlang Shen. This one’s attack down can overwrite Erlang’s, so it will work even when the red tile is missing when he triggers his SS.

I think that is disgusting

17

With the surge of new overhealers coming out, I think S4 costumes who have this extra damage to overheal passive are going to be more relevant. Thinking of training my c octros despite him being weaker in stats now

18

I am currently using him @ LB1 and he does appear to be improved significantly after the improved stats and the damage to overheal
