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:

20 characters of WOW!

A red Shimmerscale it looks like to me. Pretty good!

He will be a great partner for Shimmer except for the speed and the class. The MM Dot will melt most teams in few turns. I already enjoy Shimmer and Pepper in my offense and all I need it to fire one of them and then the enemy cards start to suddenly vanish in a couple of turns. If Dima joins the party its going to awesome threesome.

Been a while since I had some luck in this portal. Pulled these 2 together on my 12th summon attempt. I was in need of red & yellow projects. Problem solved. Happy gaming! :cupcake:

This happened yesterday. Really happy with this as a current f2p :innocent:

Excited to see how he does on War defense.

Only question is whether to put him at left flank or tank (have C Diaochan and C Cao Cao to round out front 3).

2 Likes

So I’m planning to make him my tank? Should I go attack/health prioritizing health?

Same as I commented on your youtube video. Lol.

Went all attack.

Congrats :muscle::grinning:

20 characters….

Just pulled but don’t see much talk of him here. How is he performing? I really needed a garrison guard for the wither wipe.

I love him. That MM is kickass. Spreadable bleed damage like Shimmercale (though on minion hit). He just got a buff too. I’d 90 +25 asap.

I use him on left wing for war defense with a team of Dima -Shaal - C Diaochan - C Cao Cao - Zavinia. Used up 10 flags this war, 7 :doughnut:s. :grin:

Congrats on the pull. He’s a personal favorite of mine. I like sticking him alongside Pepperflame.

He is a slightly slower Shimmer with a poor class. But he does a fraction higher damage and DOT with a tiny DD which is a bonus.
He is a fantastic card and is best used with other MM cards and useful on offense.
Take him to 90 and you will not regret.

FInally after around 130 pulls this time around… (approximately) 800 pulls later in last months, I was finally able to get last MM hero Dima (to have a team of 5 of MMs).

Dont be confused, I didnt get 5 MM heroes in 800 pulls, but only the last one :slight_smile:
Worst drought in my E&P history finally ended.

The other hero was Acidfire which wont help me, since I am full of dark dispellers.

Did spend my reserves of gems for black friday though… in the end, it was the least but still satisfied result I was looking for :slight_smile:
