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 have just enabled the polls.

5% more healing and a guaranteed health boost + cleanse. I’ll take it. His defensive stats are pretty good so he can work against 6k teams in wars/raids if you 2LB and memblem him.

The new passives added onto the original card is a good enough reason to want the costume.

The costume is a nice varient for battles with fewer ailments, so it seems like a bit of a mismatch that his defense dropped. Still going to LB it soon

Meh, the 4* toon healers are so strong that any other healer needs to be ridiculous to compete.

Ailment blocking is great but I’m not convinced he’s better than Melandor/Kiril. They could have at least let his ailment blocking apply to al allies (like Goldie’s does) rather than just the nearby ones.

What’s the fancy name title of Costume Ptolemy?

Based on the number of comments, it appears costumed Ptolemy is not very popular. I hope to level him, but think I may focus on others greens beforehand.

The problem with 4* is that they all have very low stat in comparison with S1 with multiple costumes… And they don’t have super talent

So a green healer will Not be better than Melendor… And protection again malus, there is Sabina, and many dispeller (Rigard, Sonya and Caedmon)…

Keep him, maybe they’ll buff the costume bonus for the non S1 4*
