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:

Zekena finally deigned to join me about 1 year post release, and was upset that he would be benched, and protested vehemently that he would still be useful.

He couldn’t out-damage my current 3x.

Now that his costume is available, with a hippo-type passive that stabs only enemies with boosted health…… hmmm… :thinking:

Another one which has bypassed Beta ??? Is Beta being gradually phased out ?

Can anyone supply the title / fancy name for this costume ? Thanks.

Just pulled his costume. With the bonuses, seems like he should still be pretty good, especially against Titans. Anyone using and getting good results? Not a lot of comments in this thread, lol, so hoping for more recent feedback.

Thanks!
