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:

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

I guess after the fox furries, getting an “uwu” hero was the next natural step.

They’re sure trying to tap into a certain market.

And just like that I’m no longer interested in anything related to 3* battles.

This guy could actually make those jolly/faeiz defenses more palatable

The 5* heroes are even more crazy, so I don‘t understand that argument

There are more 5* that don’t have insanity and a LOT more 5* healers/over healers that make the 5* insanity heroes less threatening.

Is this one of Elmer Fudd’s Great Old Ones?

A cute Cthulhu creature. Why not, I like friendly Eldritch abominations. Also finally have access to Insanity myself, as I got this … thing.
