This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the November 2023 HOTM, Neema


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:

The end of taunt. :smiley:

She’s going to be a solid hero based just on those two
Might not be amazing, but solid. I see her being a rush specialist (for non top players). Resist special skill means you can take her against an Alfrike tank. You can also take her against a Ludwig tank.

She will be wonder if she can deal 225% damage to all or 350% to a single target

At average speed, I want her at least can apply her damage to all enemies. Do they still remember they release a hero named Elizabeth two years ago?

Is it really Fire Triger? or should it be Fire Tiger?

Thought it should be Triggers at first - but reading on it’s definitely Tigers :tiger:

(Also in line 2 of skill description.)

Interesting to see what the fire tiger fiend token looks like in the game :tiger::tiger::tiger:

Expected a green hero, but I know they’ve been playing with the color order. We expected purple in September, but got blue. Then purple came in October, and we will get red for November. So December will be green or yellow, I guess.

Unless for Christmas they have another brand new super-dooper hero (a-la Myztero) who will be so special that they will be a new colour (element) - WHITE (Spirit) :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Nah, everybody knows the December HotM always sucks, because lots of people will get them while pulling for Christmas heroes. Balur, Hanitra, Reuben… the last good one was Grimble, and he sucked back then because there weren’t many minion makers. I’m expecting the HotM to be the French Taunter, complete with a special skill of Farts in Your General Direction.

Fixed

Yes, I have fixed it too.

Taunt is a powerful ability.
Disabling it, is equally powerful.

The cynic in me believes that since there are passives which disable minion skills.
So too, will there be passives that disable fiends.

Especially… since this is a Hotm!
Crippling taunt on such a widely available scale will have consequences when they want to make money on Ludwig’s Costume.

Isn’t there the link special of a batch of hotm already?

Tahir has it, so yes.

I don’t know. Edit: :point_up_2:evidently :slightly_smiling_face:

But my understanding of link specials, functions more like an extension of firing the skill. And only for that element.

Unlike passives. Which are active when the match start. And stay that way…

Anyway… it’s only supposition on my part from having viewed a hotm with such a strong skill set.

I hope I get it. It would alleviate having me to have to pack around so much dispeller.

I get your point. Then there’s the aether power as the most similar case, but i agree they’ll eventually come up with a version of lunar heroes that disables fiends alltogether till they’re alive

Absolutely hilarious just how lazy and uninspired these clowns are, they’ve ripped the exact art from another game. Complete joke

And yet, Neema is a druid. Interesting nonetheless.
