šŸ§Ŗ Early Information on ROUND 5 (Halloween Event Hero) Costumes [Part of The Beta Beat v41]

I was not their fan either, but so far it seemed reasonable. I am a bit surprised we get costumes for all 5* and one 4* that came out last year. Probably for that reason the bonus is smaller. On one hand it hinders Victor, who was released before and while he is still very good (VF defense +30% is great and that stacking debuff helps too), heā€™s got the biggest upgrade from the three, making him usable even on defense, where he was unreliable until now. Also, he hits now 3 targets, and while initial hit is weaker and so is his HP drain, the DoT is of the same strength. Add even small defense debuff to that and itā€™s essentially death sentence to three opposing heroes unless cleanser. And Vic is VF so he can stack it now more efficiently.

Jeez, I wanted to talk about whether non-S1 costumes are good idea but it transited into gushing over Vic in his costume. But yeah, SGG seems to do this the right way (as right as possible anyway): small changes to strong heroes (Vanda, Francine), substantial to weaker ones (Victor). The fact that balance changes (when we had last batch of them? Seems ages) are locked behind acquiring that hero again is bad in itself, but with SGG one has to take what he gets, or get away.

i just think its stupid having to resummon again and again on every portal to get the costume
because yes they will release S2 costumes, hotm costumes, event costumes, s3 costumes, s4 costumes
just a matter of time

they are already releasing a crazy amount of new heroes, you are lucky to get one, its incomplete, you will need to get its costume 6 months later

I was lucky to have pulled Vanda last year so her costume would be a nice addition

To be fair, the summoning cost is the same.

If you summon a year ago, you just get the hero. If you summon this year, you get both the hero and costume. I think it is unfair to the early summoner. If they know it will be like this, I think a lot of them will wait a year.

Will they become a boss on next event ?

Thatā€™s a good question.

Based on this yearā€™s Sand Empires, I guess not. I think it could be a good way to ā€œrefreshā€ the Halloween event stages though.

ā€¦Has anyone else decided to come up with their own idea that we know SGG would never take anyway with these costume ideas?

Vlad

  • Class: Fighter or Barbarian
  • Special Skill:
    ** Deal 210% damage to the target.
    ** The target receives 75 venom damage over 4 turns. Duration is refreshed if applied again with 115 up to 300 damage in total.
    ** Caster steals 32% of any healing applied to the target and nearby enemies.

Valeria

  • Class: Cleric
  • Special Skill:
    ** Mini-Vanda (base) or Mini-Francine

if this is considered ā€œoff-topic,ā€ Iā€™ll happily delete, but Iā€™m annoyed. Just give all the Halloween heroes a costume of their own. I already also expect this December or next December for the Christmas costumes.

Right, it should be ALL at once, not partial. I donā€™t like their way of tricking players to summon it.

this is only to maintain the ubiquitous frustration in this game. The player who gets Valeria will be jealous of whoever got Franck and will pay gems to try to pull him.

I guess it would make sense to have Halloween costumes. Canā€™t believe SG never thought of doing this before. Having a month-long costume chamber forā€¦wait for itā€¦
Halloween.

cFrancine:she was already a good hero her extra damage against ice with her initial release was scary. i dont know if i will use her non costumed version or costumed version if i ever pull her

cVictor: that is a huge improvement for victor and which motivates me the most to pull for this event.
def down at vfast is amazing if you can get 2 or 3 of him that will be brutal. i am sure we will see him more in action. fantastic hero

cVanda: i hate to face vanda and will hate even more with this version. she is very versatile at def. wanna pull for her too

cFrank:mini skadi yesss but skadi without ckiril doesnt have much power against minnions neither will Frank at slow speed. and buddy is the only minnion summoner for 4*'s. i will go with the regular version at least he gets def down massively

Any art available yet of the new costumes? Despite having done over 30 pulls last year I didnā€™t get any of the event heroes so I was saving up for quite a while. Maybe I get lucky this year and pull one with an costume

So we see the artwork of these costumes in Beta, but we are not allowed to share it on the forum or elsewhere.

I have watched your video.

Just a FYI @Mr.Spock

The Link for the topic of the Normal version of these heroes is included in OP.

(Anyway you have remembered these correctly)

Eg:

Francine costume will be excellent for Ice titans too as she has much higher attack stat than Evelyn (or Almur obviously) :slight_smile:

Even the % damage is here from Francine.
Upon that if the titan fires, and it gives you some status ailments, then it removed at the end of each turn.

Okay sorry missed that part, so yeah donā€™t post :see_no_evil:

Fun Fact: Victorā€™s special skill is named Legacy of Darkness, which, also happens to be the name of a yugioh TCG Booster Pack Set.

Victor is actually really good now. Would love to pull him

ā€¦just when I thought I could save up all my EHT for Christmas.

All i want for halloween is c. Vanda , and for christmas the one and only c. krampus!!!
