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:

20 shades of boooorrring. Poor Richard

Relaunch of Richard for the 3rd time. How depressing.

Doesn’t really hit hard and -attack must be the weakest ailment at least in PvP. Lack of imagination from the devs.

I feel like he might actually make a good tank. Hit 3 with 300% + attack debuf seems fair enough for me. I do have Richard at 3/70 at the moment, his old costume doesn’t really look that great. But if i had pulled this one, I’d have given him a try and ascend him to max tier. I love the fighter class too.

I don’t know, Kingston looks better to me than this guy.

Got him from one of my free pulls. I’m not particularly impressed. Would appreciate some feedback on him if anyone has him leveled and their thoughts on him!

Considering Richard was an early 5* for me and is maxed, the costumes will be maxed as well.

The emblems are a problem as in I don’t have enough of them. He comes in handy from time to time in wars, in the rare circumstance that an alliance has red tanks the blue bench is used.

Fighter revive is excellent even in “base” form, Superior Talents are fantastic, all three of Richard’s are decent (well, Paladin and Fighter certainly are) and double costume stat boost means he is stout and can take a hit.

F2P or C2P with plenty of mats and a shallow bench, he could make a positive difference.
For those debating between Bubbles and Cel (insert your choice of Ice paywalled heroes), Richard will be ignored.
