Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

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.

[Nightmare2048]

Slow cleanser? I dunno. Heal is good but 770 poison over 5 turns is slow as molasses on already slow hero. But we’ll see whether some adjustments won’t be made before release as it lately happens quite often.

[L33tVortex]

Cleanse, heal and poison… perhaps an interesting rush hero …

[Vandermar1979]

Especially with the heal being non dispellable and the poison being uncleansable

[Messias21]

Ofc I get the one I don’t want

[Dessertrose]

Congrats .He is not bad hero, both poison and heal cannot be removed. Only drawback is speed is slow

[L33tVortex]

Congratulations! I also got this guy…I think he will turn out to surprise people … a sleeper of sorts…I am quite happy with my new project
Absolutely fabulous details on this one

[Tidyup]

Slow priority cleanser, pretty much an updated lidenbrock

[Bandolivin]

Very weak hero - its annoying how unuseable ■■■■ like this hero or kettle make it out of beta

He really has no use at all - not even at rush he sucks in every way possible…

Who needs a fookin slow minion remover - its clear sg knows when they do release complete garbage heroes like this hot pile of shieeet & im sorry for every player that summons one of those bs heroes
fck those “trolling” heroes

[PlayForFun]

The hero card is updated with the changes.
Polls are now enabled.

[Messias21]

Seems like you pulled 10 of him

[Bandolivin]

Lidenbrock can go to 9 tiles - and does overheal

So lidenbrock is a way better version of this thing

[Ship]

Congrats! I can’t believe the comments. He’s going to be great.

[2puttshaqur]

I pulled him this morning… I too… have reservations about him… I’ll level him… I’ll limit break him… because I have a literal crap ton of tonics and aethers… but I don’t know that this guy cracks my starting raid team. Is this… just the bad hero of the bunch, like salmon loki? The uggghhh hero that you hope you don’t get?

Anyway… I think I will pair him with matilda… and yes they overwrite each other… but if he goes off after her… 5 turns @ undispellible will likely get refreshed… even at a 25% chance.

[Tidyup]

His poison is uncleansable, Matilda can’t overwrite his poison

[2puttshaqur]

I did realize moments ago… but I don’t know if that is better. If he’s at his last turn of dot… and she applies fiends… then the next turn the dot is gone… Just a touch awkward.

[Bandolivin]

@2puttshaqur

The uggghhh hero that you hope you don’t ge

Im sorry but yes he is - he is the most crappy hero of this portal by far
Even that minion thing from portal outclasses him & at least has some use in protecting waterpipes minions on rush

By the way im waiting for a post where i do get explained why this one is far better than a recent hotm

[Tidyup]

I guess it’s just how vanilla he is. Like he’s just a chimera of many different heroes, nothing special about him

[2puttshaqur]

I have arco for fiend protection… and I’ll likely still have him as my #1 fiend protector… but I can see this guy being a solid number 2 option. The cleanse is a bonus… the poison is formidable… the heal is fine… though if the heroes are @ 100%… it is just wasted. If there are no fiends, it’s just wasted… if there are ailments, its just wasted.

I guess I will take this swiss army knife of protection.
