This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the June 2024 HOTM, Aviana


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:

This one has my interest. Finally a good (not slow) holy HOTM.

now that art looks HOT

Buff block to 3 for 4turns, good one to have.

The thing I don’t like about all those new hotms is that terrible element link. +5 dodge is a joke.

Oh? I thought I was the only one who was into chicks that look like a cross between Goldie Locks and M. Bison. :sweat_smile:

But it’s less of a joke than those elemental links, which had some tiny amount to “dodge ailments only” or something insignificant.

Edit:

Double edit:
Ha! And for two turns less (4 turns vs. 6). This one has to take the cake for crappiest e-link.

This one… Unless I’m missing something doesn’t pique my interest. She’s fine for an hotm… But there aren’t many who i think are worth the time and effort.

This one’s decent. Buff blocker is always nice to have and yellow crit as well. And never underestimate that dodge - remember how annoying ninjas were when only in pair?

lol, that’s true but I’m kinda into blondes, soooo :wink:

Is this a JoJo reference?!

Probably getting a nerf on release as usual :rofl::rofl:

Either make her fast or hit all enemies. This way she’s subpar in today’s meta.

Increase damage to 380% and change the elemental link, maybe a status effect protection or a Minion evocation or a normal Attack buff

We’d like usable and they provide barely usable. But they feel like they’re giving away these hotm so the good one are few and far between. Hit three with no buffs for four turns is definitely usable ( imo) thinking about Ludwig, mena, c2 obakan, and any heroes who buff the caster and nearby. I wouldn’t mind getting her but not super exciting. Grace was the last hotm i liked. I have two maxed for that increase to special skill damage ( taunt blocker just a perk imo) I’d like to see a boosted health at average or faster speed or another taunt hero!!!

She is a good HOTM.
As for HOTM, we couldn’t expect more :sweat_smile:

Has synergies with minions and MMs due to the crit chance. They’re trying to push into the MM meta I guess

Closed as the hero is released.
