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.

Feels like a “we need to make the costume more different, so let’s make it worse” situation to me. I was happy to get the costume until I saw the change
Well, I did want to see cRatatoskr be different than normal Ratatoskr but this was not at all what I had in mind.
795 HoT over 3 turns is not only slower healing than base Ratatoskr, but with the heavy stat creep, will also in many cases be less healing than his base 44%.
Personally, I would have preferred they follow my suggestion with perhaps some tweaks to the numbers since this suggestion was before the large stat creep began taking hold.
This would have at least made him offer something new rather than filling the same niche.
No, it’s not terrible. Costume has significantly higher attack stats for Titan attacks which is its main purpose … so I would call it an upgrade all day long …
You’re right, if you look at only his titan utility, he’s definitely better. But outside of that he’s worse in every way. I guess almost nobody uses him outside of titans though.
The stats are really really bad for any healer. Furthermore the heal over time is not really usable in raids. The only possible use for this costume is for titans. Really disheartening to come up with such a one trick pony, when even his base form was only good for titans.
I pulled this crap, along with thor costume (more crap) and alfrike costume chasing heimdal (at least loki! As they are both sitting 3.70 wo costumes) definitely not wasting mats on something just for titans. Ive got so many 5*s chasing these past few months i can burn them for 20 at se twice, hopefully he gets a buff or reworked before March comes around for the 2nd se.
Is this not THE worst costume of the lot? I mean the entire hero line up !!! How to make a worthless hero - 101. Right here !! 795 hp I mean what’s that, 25% plus it’s over 3 turns !! Pathetic & pretty laughable really. 795 EACH turn wud be better but it’s still over 3 turns & a set figure so won’t scale with time. I’m beginning to think that something is getting lost in translation when u see costumes that are waaay way worse than the OG version. I just don’t get it & I’d love for the designer who came up with this costume to explain WHAT HE OR SHE WAS THINKING ??
I haven’t 1 single clue how someone cud not only come up with this (is this even classed as an idea) but let it pass final approval by someone important in the game who actually cares where the game is going. Pretty much says where it’s going the fact that this actually happened !! This post is a bit late I know but the costume was released in the last 10 mths.
