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:

A new yellow tank meta? Liked her before in double formation, now you could even bring here Xnol like in standard formation.

Imo she still loses out as tank because she doesn’t have recovery like xnol. Xnolphod doesn’t have a lot of checks while sif has some already.

6

Is she better then Xnol? Don’t think so, she just effects her neighbours and gives 5% less mana then xnol who effects all. Furthermore, purple is the strongest colour when it comes to dispel.
Way too many counters to rely on her.

C-Sabina, Ametrine, Onyx, Seshat, Kageburrito, Domitia, Panther, Diaochan just to name a few.

7

just tried for her, 60 pulls and just one HOTM to show for it…not sure she’s worth more than that so I’ll call it quits now

8

I think on offense she’s going to be a powerhouse. When I see a team of just all nasty hitters, especially w xnol as tank, I take Azmia and/or ferant and let them kill themselves. I would love to have her for raids/war. On defense she’s going to be meh. I personally think she’s worth more pills but it depends partially on how you play the game.

9

Although it is a valid strategy, you need 9 Tiles before Xnol goes off and in this case you would be able to win anyway in the majority of cases. I am a big fan of riposte but the tile requirement makes it less reliable then any 7 tile sniper-kombo.

10

I was just wondering is Sif could charge in less tiles: costume bonus 5%, mana node 2%, troops x %…

She can charge in 8 tiles with 19% managen, which is the biggest improvement i think.

12

What about: costume 5%, maná node 2%, zabhog 5%, magic troop 20%, I suppose that’s the maximum she could reach.

13

Not enough sadly, you would need 34% to charge her with 7 tiles

Got her :slight_smile:

Now I need to setup double C.Sifs as flanks to middle Xnol and snipers in wings…

Ready for KHUFU to tell him FU.K HU :smiley:

Love her artwork too!

Thats why I was second guessing to pull or not, since I was trying to keep all tokens until Baldur showed up :stuck_out_tongue:

I think you misunderstood, I like riposte on offense especially if xnol is at tank on the opposing team. If the team goes off it’s done. I have a very fast dark team I could use as well but I prefer not to do that against xnol tanks. For me she’d be a nice addition.

No i did get you. I just wanted to mention that you need those 9 tiles before Xnol goes off. So the strategy of riposte is build around the assumption that you will get those tiles. Otherwise its likely that your riposte hero goes off too late.

Its all about math here and riposte heroes are less effective simply because they are slower. This is even more relevant against a speed tank like Xnol.

Ok, I misunderstood, fair enough. But if you are using riposte and don’t get your tiles, it’s no different than using any other strategy because he’s most likely going to fire on a mediocre board anyway. In an ideal situation, I love riposte for heavy hitting teams, I’ll leave it at that. Cheers!
