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:

He’d be just about ok about 3 years ago

His power at 4.80 is about 90 lower than the other two featured heroes and lower than the current HOTM. Honestly, it’s a joke to have him as a “new” featured hero - he has no place compared to new OP heroes.

Chance to miss also applies to offisive Special Skills. “offensive”

free coin i obviously get this old card lol truth is any hero aside from goblin elves or gargoyles are crap

He’s still just a green Dr. Moreau. Nothing worth considering. Can’t believe they made him so weak to begin with considering VĂ€inĂ€möinen is the most significant character in the Kalevala.

His power level is 112 pts below Ukkonen
why not bump his power
 no one wants this guy.

This just proves zynga don’t give a (insert cussword) about the community. They’ve been releasing new heroes that can single handedly wipe out whole team for couple of months now and today they released neelw heroes that are worse than hotms 2 years ago. It just shows their attitude

I have him uncostumed last year, he is forever at 2/43 and was used only in CoE

Now he is so good such that I am quite serious to get a good use of him in the next SE .

The pure fast-blind-all does not quite survive the big wild world today e.g.
What this guy can do when face the never-miss Elves or resist-all Toons?

(Note also Goblins can even cast blind-all for free via passive)

When he was released, this hero was just enough to be considered good. Now he has aged really poorly, even the costume can’t save him

And from the 3 featured heroes I had to get this one. No one gives him love. Especially the devs as they release him as “new” but sadly 2 years late, considering the stats

The seasonal portals are treated like the HOTM. Not bad heroes but definitely not great

Got the useless original version last year. Got his costume today. Both from free eht and both are se food

Just pulled him
 in the queue he goes :slight_smile: he will add to my bench depth at least

One for me too. Not really thrilled about that guy to be honest. But my greens are not really good so still some upgrade i suppose.

Just got him and I’m ambivalent about his value, so I came to see what the community feedback regarding him is. He seems rather meh to me. I’m F2P so I won’t feed him away, but I think he’ll only get mats if I have a glut at some point.
