Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

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.

There are appear to be no changs on Costumed Thorne since Beta.

Not bad. This brings new life to one of my legendary heroes. Nice attack 3, speeds himself up to keep damaging and suppressing enemy mana after he fires. Good offensive possibilities, less as impressive defensively but still a viable option.

[gcheng668]

Just pulled him with 25 keys I have. Not bad I guess, but really want the green featured one. Not sure if I would ever level him as my blue mono team are pretty fast especially after I pulled the new beach party one misty.

[Riverwind]

Just got him also after a few pulls… Still thinking to level Thorne or Loki (no costume). These days my pulling luck seems to be around mana control peeps… First is Meresankh, then comes Mortimer then comes Thorne.

[gcheng668]

A nice bunch of heroes, congrats!

[Shogo]

If Iam not wrong with the math, after he fires, he become v. fast(charge with 6 tiles).

Edit: even with 20% mana troops I believe he will need only 5 tiles. Maybe someone can test and share the results

[ajly19]

He is average, I doubt that he can became vf hero. Fast maybe but vf no chance.
Troops 20% +costume bonus 5% +class 2% mana=27% mana. It is enough for 8 tiles to fire him first time but it all depends how much moderate mana is. If it is 5% it is 20% more mana that is 47%, enough for 7 tiles to fire up.

[Maciurella]

I’m a player with not much legendary heroes, but yesterday I dropped Cthorne. Is he worth leveling for low-hero players?

[Radar1]

Actually @Shogo is right and with 20% mana from troops, 5% from costume and 2% from emblem node CC.Thorne can fire in 5 tiles.

Moderate amount of mana is worth 0.8 tile and 27% mana bonus works on it too.

If I’m correct he need 22% mana bonus to charge in 5 tiles after firing.

[marki]

Is Thorne worth giving Paladin Emblems to the original hero?

i think this is from another version

[ajly19]

He is average not fast hero. With 27% mana average heroes gets their special full with 8 tiles at the begining, without moderate mana. I doubt that SG would let us get vf hero so easy.

[Shogo]

Mine is 1.1 and with 11% frop troops he fire with 6 tiles, so 5 should be possible, but even with 6 its super. Iam FTP, so I will max him for sure and when I test him … maybe and LB2

[Radar1]

4 turns of moderate mana with 27% mana bonus is worth a little over 4 tiles. He is not realy v.fast because you need to wait 4 turns but he can charge in 5/6 tiles.

[ajly19]

Well now I understand that. I told you are talking about first attack(without moderate mana) . I calculate that, 3 tiles in hero+1 ghosted tiles + moderate mana and he is full

[Shogo]

Just now wondering if this moderate mana will stack for example with Frosth small mana elemental link?

Edit: Its stack Charging like crazy So in this case I bellieve 4 tiles is possible. Too bad I dont have Ariel

[Gaia]

C2 Thorne right? If right. Its worth it buddy… 2 copy this hero still worth it ( if u say u not much hv legendary heroes n low hero player ( maybe F2P or C2P).

[sleepyhead]

Just pulled him. He seems solid, but has the misfortune of coming after a lot of good Blues for me (Bubbles, Thalassa, Tinsel). He’ll get scopes before Balur though
