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:

Seems that the passive may make her be worth it after all. Still hate that this is just a stat boost costume

They did her dirty no one will level her up. She suck before and still suck now. Her new passive is one of the worst costume passive also.

she really just is a bad version of Kushanku.

How is this passive the worse? It’s situationally good, being a good buff against overheal. And she’s v fast which gives that buff fairly quickly to all for 4 turns

I rather have finley costume that does around 700 poison damage to all at fast speed or athena displell to all. I like those costume bonus better. This is good against over heal and it nice but it does not do that much damage and it only viable if you have special ready to fire after it.

Just pull her :joy:.
