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:

Fyi copy paste error here @PlayForFun

Thanks for your work!

I don’t think these are buffs. The number of turns shouldn’t have been bumped up. Increase the damage but decrease the number of turns.

5

They are supposed to be longer dots, dealing overall more dmg, not frontload dmg like snipers.

6

That makes them weaker to other heroes that do more damage in less amount of time. Look at cGM, Rayne, Emilio and tell me that these changes to the total number of turns makes sense?

7

Costume Rana buff (4 turn heal debuff versus previous 2 turn debuff)+ Fiend summoners have better synergy now

8

That is not my concern. I was talking about the DoT, nothing more. That’s what helps win fights and will help fiends be more effective in the long run. We aren’t going to agree and that’s fine.

9

Why are you comparing seasonal summoned heroes (with hero tokens) to the flagship of event heroes - Circus (seeing as they buffed them to hell with self dispelling, for example)?

You seriously expected the buff would make them comparable? Especially after the Winter nerfs?

10

Thinking objectively here. Seasonal heroes originally started out STRONGER than event heroes. Look at all the seasonal heroes and then compare them to event heroes. Most of them are considered by most to be better from the get go. The summer event has always been deemed the worst one BECAUSE they are so much worse than the others that they seem more like regular events, rather than seasonal. It is because of that, that I wanted to see them get an actual buff that would make them better overall. This buff doesn’t really do that.

Any relevant comments about this hero? I just pulled and, as a c2p, will put this hero to use. any tips to maximize this hero is appreciated.

12

Does someone use this hero? Is she worth mats? :slight_smile:

13

Unpopular opinion I have been using her costume almost since it’s release and she always does well for me in every part of the game. Flanks Alfrike in rush attack defense and always does ok.

With lvl 5 troops she charges in 9 tiles?

15

I have her and really like her. YMMV, depends on your yellow stack, emblem availability, and other contenders for darts of course, but I think she’s solid and useful.

16

If you take her to Node 20 with Emblems for the 4% Mana increase, then yes she would only need a level 5 Mana Troop to charge in 9 tiles.
Average heroes need need a 12% Mana increase to drop to 9 tiles: 4% (Mana Node) + 1% (Costume bonus) + 7% (Mana Troop level 5) =12% increase :nerd_face:

This is the balance update for costumed Yunan, not costumed Rana

18

It would have been nice to see some buff for cRana in this year. Perhaps some increase in direct damage?

Perhaps some reinforcement ahead of this year’s sand empire? It would be nice to see it get some love.
