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:

280% to all is a bit weak, but at least he can survive with the costume stats.

280% to all an 60% chance to hit 70% to all(3 x times chance) lot of bleed damage and sand damage and water damage from family bonus

plus first special have added 50% damage to special

Well if you compare him to for example Queen Guowang, who does 330% damage up front at average speed and has the potential to deal an additional 525 if her Vengeance is dispelled, it falls short. And Queen Guowang has been on my bench for ages because she doesn’t hit hard enough. In this day and age where I only face goblins, toons, astral elves, owls and constructs, I don’t see him viable in any attack group I might set up. If he had some utlity such as mana cut or -def or even -attack, he would be better. But he’s not a top tier damage dealer.

He’s more usable with his costume, giving him new life similar to Ma’at. I think a lot of voters forget about the new costume passive, but also his defensive bypass is useful (good against Lodius in particular). I don’t think he’s the best blue hero out there but he’s much better with his costume IMO.

Managed to get to LB1, (83) nodes are not finished. (noooo fooooood)
Stats now: att 1081, def 1037, health: 2347

Partial results:
hits depending on enemy power 400-500 on all
average: 450 (enemy full lb2 Hathor, Lazara, Kemény, Camilla, Februus)
blood: 468 (almost always)
Sand: 324 (almost always)
Burn: 196 (50% chance)

Total if all goes out: 1438 on all enemy (average speed)

Died first but it is not relevant because Toon Richard was the other blue who massacred the whole remaining enemy team alone :smiley:
@Ship

So i would say that when he is finished will be a serious threat.

Thinking about try combining with Xie Zi Jing and Narcisa.
