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.
Wondering About Your Personal Situation?

If you’d like more extensive advice on sorting out your particular roster, I recommend creating a new thread in Gameplay Help & Tactics, and posting screenshots of your hero roster, along with your questions.
Would make a decent tank (again), put shield path on him, paladin ability gives extra shield and with 50% chance to heal damage because of superior talents he should be tough to kill.
Richard is one I’ve felt remorse about maxing from time to time but he is a chunky dude that does ok damage. At this point, with some of the amazing heroes that do much of what Richard does (Ukkonen for example) Richard looks a bit unexciting but he gets jobs done, this costume brings him back into the conversation.
Anyone leveled Toon Richard yet? He’s the one I pulled & I’m curious how he’s working out for people, especially with the buff given to the toon heroes.
It all depends on the style of play, the heroes you have, and spending habits.
outside of all that. if it’s me IMHO. I will raise Toon Richard (after buff) he has the same special damage skill as Rochefort. 565% target and minor nearby.
with a passive bonus from the Toon costume (75% resist). I’ll give him a telescope. I will use him only for the offense team. perhaps paired with Frida.
Note: I don’t play in the top 100 alliances (rarely encounter meta defense now). and I don’t have a Toon Richard costume Lol.
i’ve got him sitting at 1/1 - reluctant to give him mats as i have no blades, but i have three in the queue in front of him and four tomes, so he will potentially be in the mix soonish. new ‘balance’ update has me curious about the same thing, would love to hear some real game experience from anyone using the c3 version
Finally maxed and played a bit with him. Summary: he can tank with proper team with healer on flank (I use lb2 Flip on left flank and lb2 Desmond right flank) with paladin troops and def talents. In offence go full attack talents and pair with EDD as mentioned above (e.g. Frida)
just pulled him today. I might work on him and c2 next, as the base and c1 Richards are both maxed. His competition is Tinsel, Thorne with c1 and c2 (base not yet maxed), and Balur…
Hes overpovered with his 565%dmg and +50% to red + his superior talent. I have him in defence on left flank now, talents all to attack with 5* paladin blue troops and left wing is toon elkanen with cleric 5* troops that heal him for 5% when healed once per turn → so if richards talent is activated he heals 10% from richards hp what is 410 and 190hp what is 5% inherited from elkanen due to troop pasive, so every 2nd attack on richard is 600 heal for elkanen. Hes absolutely unkillable both toons talented to attack. Staying top 2k in defense average without any new fancy heroes such as owls, darkfeather … any goblins, vaishali…shaal frond geatalt…
All are healing so no healer needed. More room for dmg. Harder for enemy to choose one to kill. Only downside is i have 2 purple and one of it is a tank but soon toon obakan will change ultrox and toon magni for hurri. Idk if it would work better…
Does anyone have a picture of toon Richard 2LB, maxed master node with all costume bonuses applied? Want to see his stats before working on him! Thanks in advance!
