More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three 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:

Isn’t these the heroes that were named ‘mutiny’ and another name but written in a robotic way? People over at beta sure complain over stupid stuff as well :roll_eyes:

Yes you’re correct. It was L1-FT and MUT-1NY. I have no insight as to why it was changed though :woman_shrugging:t2:

Apparently, the beta people hated their names

I much prefer the original names compared to these 2 now, the other ones were a nice play on names and made them SOUND robotic which is good, these new names make them try to sound more human which is weird, and I mean, Haulstone is an odd name to use for any kind of machine hero.
Ultimately, a name is just a name, and I will have one called My Little Pony if the stats and specials are so powerful :rofl:

Exactly, those names were so cool and unique. It most definitely fit into the theme of robots. They don’t address the more important beta feedback but ‘fixed’ the unimportant ones. Now they sound like every generic fantasy hero name out there

How does Ferrus compare to Hammertusk? Both average speed nature heroes that do 360% to 3 targets. Except Hammertusk increases damage by 50% while Ferrus does bleed damage to 3 and -60% EDD against nature. Both of them are great titan heroes too :thinking:

The hero card is updated with the changes.

They’re both top of their league for titans

Ferrus is now #1 for EDD vs ice titans

And Hammertusk, for the increased damage

Hammertusk is also better for competing in events, as the only 5* with this skill (that isn’t tied to minions). So due to versatility, and uniqueness, Hammertusk has the edge (if it’s a choice between the two).

…But those that compete will need both maxed for the best scores. Although, the difference will be negligible for those that aren’t p2w and already have Evelyn / C. Almur / Almur / C. Phileas Fogg / Phileas Fogg , for those at the tippy top, every edge helps.

That’s a great analysis, thanks @RandaPanduh as always! Yep agree that Hammertusk has such a unique skill and one that will always be relevant - I finally decided to LB him the other day :slight_smile:

They never ever listen to beta people on anything other than bugs or things that are unintended.

So idk why they changed the names.

#1 for elemental defdown is c Phileas Fogg: Same 60% defdown, but a barbarian!

17

Because names are the easiest thing in the code to change, idk :man_shrugging:t4:

Hello,

I pulled him and leveled him up until LB1, he’s really good offensively but I would really have preferred him being fast, I need to use him with some mana boost if I align other fast heroes,

Not sure about him on defense thought, anyway he will help me for rush wars attacks,

How does the construct core charge ?

20

650 damage taken charges it fully. I’m not sure how it is affected by damage reduction.
