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:

Sadly, the -100% healing (uncleansable) turned into -74% healing (cleansable). This has a huge impact and imo turned this hero from A+ to B+.

Most healers cleanse, either before or after healing. In the case they cleanse before healing, the -healing is worthless. If they cleanse afterwards, it affected 1 heal.

Besides, more and more heroes reflect ailments that can be cleansed. So it also sets Dreadstar up to affect allies. I think even an uncleansable -50% would have been a more fitting change.

Overall, it’s a strong hero, but quite bland in what they do.

Agreed they nerf’d the “queen” into the ground.

B hero now. B+ is a stretch. Won’t be on any of the top 50 defenses consistently if at all. Big shame. She’ll sit at 1.1 until they revisit her.

Her whole selling point was removed. I was so excited to get her but then saw the nerf. Good hero, just not as amazing as before.

She is B+ as best. Basically average speed 340% to all with good stats. Good luck trying to get her heal reduction or mana reduction to stick at or even 1 turn.

I got the same pair
 wondering if i should level them up as well.

Why does Perseus get uncleasable -100% to enemy healing while a featured elf from a brand new portal is going to get a cleansable -74%? Prob a skip and just wait for goblins again instead v0v

“* Healing decreased is reduced from -100% to -74%, and it is no longer uncleasable.” Thats a pitty. It would make her more interesting and more desired.

Dreadstar is a dead hero now
 nothing special about her anymore after the nerf, look starwalker with his fast speed


Please fix her again for how she really is. (real queen of darkness)

Or add something to her speciall (undispellable something or mana block for 2 rounds)

But i like the design of the card very much!

If they were so worried about her heal prevention they could’ve made her - mana regen uncleansable.

Yup. The. They release Lazara which essentially has -50% healing uncleansable. You can pair them together but still. Don’t understand the need to her.

Reminds me a lot of Fulvia and that’s discouraging because Fulvia still is awful. RIP to this elf queen chick

Im so disappointed in this hero. I have her lb1. Refuse to lb2
. she’s average speed, but seems slow to fire. Other average heros are ready way before she is. She lets me down when needed most :frowning:

I just tried out dreadstar.

It’s clearly not even what I was hoping for. Her damage is actually nice. but with her average mana speed that’s just worthless. With fast speed that would be better for her as a queen


She is not suitable for a defensive team. I’m usually between 3300 - 3400 cups. but with her in your defense that is not feasible.

I hope she gets a real quick improvement, towards how she was before. otherwise it’s not worth it in its current state
