This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the June 2023 HOTM, Skargremar

All Information from Beta is Subject to Change!

Don’t get attached

Details from beta, especially brand-new beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual hero release.

It’s incredibly common that heroes are changed during beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of beta testing.

So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of skills to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to stats to be made.

Or: How many summons are needed to get a HOTM?

Special thanks to @Garanwyn for assistance on summoning odds and proofreading for this section.

It’s important to remember that HOTM have very low summoning odds. No amount of summoning will guarantee a HOTM.

On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 12.3% chance of summoning the HOTM.

But that statistic can lead our minds astray in exactly how our odds play out as we continue summoning.

Some useful insights:

  • 73 times out of 100, you’ll get a HOTM by pull 100
  • 95 times out of 100, you’ll get a HOTM by pull 229
  • 99 times out of 100, you’ll get a HOTM by pull 352

Putting that in Perspective

  • 27 out of every 100 people won’t get the HOTM by the 100th pull

  • If 1 Million players each summoned 100 times, 270,000 of those players wouldn’t get the HOTM

  • 5 out of every 100 people won’t get the HOTM by the 229th pull

  • If 1 Million players each summoned 229 times, 50,000 of those players wouldn’t get the HOTM

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these two 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:

Does this elemental link stack with the 10% mana gen elemental link?

Another red mana reducer. Do we have a green mana reducer yet ? I can’t think of anyone for green.

What about blue ?

Is 20% blind effective ? And with that restriction too.
Wouldn’t 20% general blind be a better special? 20% is not high, not low.

Yep, but he does not halt anything either.

Thank you, my dear friend! Now everything is clear. :hugs: :kissing_heart: :kissing_heart: :wink:

I’d like to say that 20% mana reduction, and 20% accuracy reduction is certainly halting something 
 or two things in fact! :slight_smile:

Lol, im just saying there is a counterattack!!!

So a sort of red Neith to 3, then

No, the already existing 4% and 10% mana regen elemental links don’t stack.

This is a nice hero, decent attack 3 + mana down is ok to have, resisting mindless then turns into a great hero for rush wars.

A Mitsuko that traded a bit of damage and ice reflect for ”blind”, a couple of passives and elemental link?

I’ll take the geisha.

I think ‘Blocking Special Skill’ is different from ‘Mindless attack’ 
. Otherwise if i m wrong than he will be great against flooding Alfrikes in rush wars

There are already heroes with that same passive. Negating effects that block special skills includes being immune to mindless attack and clones, silence, and that one effect hHansel and Gretel have where you lose 50% mana instead of casting a skill.

The passive itself is not enough, Elradir and Klaern have it and they’re not used much. This guy brings mana reduction which is very desirable in rush (and the damage component is fine).

I prefer Mitsuko. And she is
 4 years old?
