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:

Nice, now my Fortuna buff thread can shine even more @Petri

Zeline’s original costume was rather cheeky.

I have enabled the polls.
I will add the passive later when I will update other HOTM heroes / costumes too.

I can’t think about all the work you’ll have updating all the former HOTM with costumes

With the new HOTM passive she is now a cleanser + dispeller at fast speed. Very useful especially on the attack.

Glad I pulled her.

Slowly maxing her (costume maxed, doing base so I can unlock Talent Grid). She does well, I like her cleansing passive which will remove Mindless from everyone even if it is triggered by Mindless itself. And priority dispel guarantees reduced attack unless Aramis or Taunter+Buff Blocker combo is involved. Nice Nice.

Soo looking forward to grabbing her from nearby tavern and Musashi :slight_smile:

btw, nice interaction with mindless!

Since her damage got buffed to 180%, does it make her a lot more desirable?

It does make her priority dispel more relevant because she could get hurt a lot more with riposte active on enemies.

That said, even before buff she was good. Priority dispel followed by some damage, attack debuff, and cleanse of last status ailment. Even if she was mindless and fired her cleanse would still trigger. And her stats are up to date. I like her.

Thanks for the respond @Nightmare2048, how do you think she compares to Costumed Zimkitha who also does priority dispel?

Can’t say, as I don’t have Costumed Zimkitha. Though issue with her is she does dispel twice (because base Zimkitty cleanses) so I’d say Zeline has upper edge in this case. But that’s theory.

The hero card is updated with the february balance update.

Can anyone share a screen shot of your maxed hero?

Just LB1 but I hope it helps, blem’d for health and defense

This might be a stupid question, but why is the costume version better? Im looking at both cards and i just dont understand.

The costume is better because it cancels all buffs before hitting, canceling the effects of counterattack, defense, ecc.
Also the -38% attack is better than the -34%.

Yes, and the costume passive is great. She’s basically dispel + cleanse in one.

Follow up stupid question(haha) do the buffs get cancelled before hitting because that skill is listed first on the card?
