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:

Really happy with her costumed stats. Will be a strong candidate for me to limit break.

She’s actually the only one I really want to have from Morlovia, as RNGesus have never given me any status ailments blocker. She was good before, but now she is just amazing.

The only issue is that I’m torn whether pull now with my EHTs or hoard them for Christmas…

EDIT

So I made one pull…

I’ve just pulled Costume Vanda, do you think it is worth maxing her is I already have a maxed Grazul and Emilio?

I almost never use Grazul any more, Vanda seems like another that does a very similar job

SHe put Graz to shame. Fantastic pull

She attacks all and steals heal. She is very good

I really like Costumed Vanda; the immunity for 3 turns from a very fast hero might help a lot. I wrote a full review here. Thanks!

Just pulled her costume earlier, and I have her base model sitting at 3/70. Waiting for one more set of rings, but there’s a long wait line. Nadezhda, Yang Mai, and Lady Loki are also thirsting for rings. What is it with women and jewelry??? Decisions, decisions…

Omg, man I envy your dilemma.

Lady Loki is my wet dream, as an ultimate cleanser.

Nadezdha, since the pace of generation of new heroes is like Maglev, is not very well explored, however the card reads very well.

But Vanda is very annoying On defence, not to mention how good she is on offense.

Tried my Best to help :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Ha, that’s how you can pull now with your EHTs and hoard them for Christmas!

I got Vanda last year and whizzed her up. I don’t use her as often as I expected (probably not as often as I should) but there are times she really hits the spot. Now I have the costume I’ll be whizzing that up too! The only reason she isn’t on my regular defence is that Black Knight has the tank spot and is not interested in giving it up any time soon.

Thanks! I guess the only solution is to get more rings.

Got her with my very first EHT used! So excited, will work better on my defense than Mitsuko or Baldur. Also allows me to strip Grazul’s emblems…such a useful hero!!

She seems like good counter to C-Kadilen, as she is faster and she can block that annoying dodge before it ever becomes an issue. Also 3 turns is a lot for VF speed.

17

Hate to say, she doesn’t help against C-Kad. She blocks any ailments that are put on your team. C-Kad buffs her own team with dodge ability.

Also that elemental chest is absurd. In nearly 3 years in game I have never got 2 eht. Even 1 eht is rare.

Gongrats, thats awesome luck! I wish to get C.Vanda too.

Drat, now I noticed that costume just adds one round of protection against debuffs, because I read that it blocks buffs on all enemies. Me sad. Though three rounds of protection against debuffs are still nice. Thankfully I have Onyx, but still.

Yes their synergy is incredible. One of my alliance mate has this setup. Hanna, Emilio and Vanda. The pain is real.
