Oh, trust me, Iā€™m not putting material into anyone immediately anymore. If they nerf it before I level it, such is life. I do get annoyed, as we all do, after putting materials in and most of material is lost. But Iā€™m still excited to see how the costumes work out. Iā€™ll pull for them and let them sit til I feel comfy about it. Cheers!

Probably not as simply as you may think to have multiple costumes per Hero. The logic of costume bonuses would have to be redesigned too. Thereā€™s a lot of combinations to consider there.

83

In the first Beta thread on Costumes (almost three years ago now) there was talk of how things were set up to apparently or potentially support multiple costumes for the same hero. So I strongly suspect this feature has been thought about from the inception.

Iā€™ll be honestā€¦ Sure, sure, these all sound good, but Iā€™m only just working my way through levelling my Challenge festival costumed team!

I was delighted that they got buffed to have the same S1 costume bonus, as it made me feel as though they were going to really relevant and keep up with the current power creep. But, if S3 is getting straight into that OG S1 costume buffā€¦ thatā€™s terrifying.

Does anyone know if these will be rolled out during the next Valhalla summons in June? Or are we going to have to wait another month for them, thanks in advance!

Skadi/Sif/Freya and shoot even Gef seem like must haves now.

Canā€™t wait to chase them and have em get nerfā€™d 2 months later!

I am expecting more Beta build next week so Version 49 will be probably not released before the Valhalla event. So I am expecting the release of costumes only in July.

Iā€™m expecting Frigg costume to get back her -4% DD. Please make that happen

Great news for me, I donā€™t particularly like the June HotM, lol.

Freya: minion to 25/15, attack boost to 180%, and doge to 36%

Skadi stacks toned down a bit but still better than regular.

Beta Update:

The Season 1 like costume bonus only applies to Legendary Season 3 hero costume.
As I recall all other Season 3 costumes have lower costume bonus similar to Season 2 costume bonus.
(There are no Rare S3 costumes in Beta so I could not check it)

We have seen it earlier, but we thought that this is a bug, but Staff has just confirmed that it different by design.

I have added a poll for collecting feedback about this to the OP.

This make no sense to me. Season 3 heroes are generally more powerful than S2 and S1 heroes, thus is illogical to have smaller costume bonus for S2 heroes and the same as much weaker S1 heroes. Except money from summons.

Yes, but it is still like this.

I will post the poll results from here to the Beta Feedback this weekend to try to convince Staff to rethink it.

Please do, or atleast make bonuses even across the boardā€¦ Thank you for your efforts!

I donā€™t have a problem with costumes having a big costume bonus, but Iā€™d rather them all be the same as season 1. The differences cause more problems than they help.
The biggest reason the costume bonuses canā€™t all be the same is Krampus.
This is unnecessary confusion.

97

Yet another disgusting move from $G. Are these idiots trying to intentionally be as inflammatory to the player base as possible?

98

Either same or progressively lower as the season of heroes increases :
Starts S1 : 10,5,5 // And Hotms 2017, 2018
Season 2 : 8, 4,4 // and hotms 2019,
Season 3 : 6, 3, 3,// Hotms 2020
Season 4 : 4,2,2 // hotms 2021
Season 5 : 3,1,1 // hotms 2022

I think this game is on the back end. I ran my sonā€™s account for 1 round of the tower and itā€™s below 900k which is lower than it was last time. Itā€™s still going very strong but I think weā€™ve seen SnG/Zynga use to a certain profit margin and thatā€™s shrinking, hence, letā€™s see if we can put out more heroes so people will spend. This has had the opposite affect on myself
