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:

Very fast + 250% dame to all + new power bar = this is ridiculous and will be good balance for the game :rofl:

Very Fast ? I believed he was fast …

Might be disagreeing with some people but except from dealing dommage nothing special

Not a bad hero certainly but nothing special as well, I prefer Christine Daee

8

yes he was fast in beta and hope stay fast and not very fast

in beta he shows great damage all stuff he do

he is the one I want

9

Okay so the verdict is out. His damage has been reduced to 175% but his stacks increased to 20%.

he will be strong like this, stack should be 15 % but ok, he need to be desirable

11

The drop in damage is bit of a let down, but 20% stacking at very fast?! Going to be a strong hero in my opinion.

Just got him, came here to see what people think of him. I’m leveling Camilla but maybe I need to switch.

Got him on the first draw from my 10-pull. Pretty happy, even though I have some Ice heroes already waiting. Finishing Nine-headed beast at the moment, then I’ll move to him (fortuna will wait) but I don’t have the scopes yet :confused:

Was hoping for Christine as my Holy heroes are lagging behind in terms of fire power, but I still have one 10-pull ready, just waiting for December in case I get the HOTM.

Mireweave on steroids. On maps he will be a beast. For PvP cumulations are not so useful, there is usually no time to build them up before a hero or enemy is dead.

Could work good with someone like oniwakamaru and other charge heroes to prepare for off color hitter.

The more I read the card the more I like it tbh. Pair him with Fizzcoil for example both could hit an enemy team pretty hard

Did 40 pulls, got 2 copies of him when I was hunting for Raul to complete my 4* collection.

He’s a really interesting one to me, and i’d be particularly excited to see how his stacks interact with the stacks you get from tower blessings… or other heroes that do the same. That will probably be the make or break for him getting levelled… well, 1 copy anyway, I don’t have the resources for both :rofl:

EDIT: so, stacks aren’t based so specifically on buff type AND value, instead, only being based on buff type. E.g. Mireweave’s 10% added to Richard’s stack

In towers, he will help to get stacks up twice as fast, and boost a little bit of the numbers, even when stacks are going by 10% each time, but, I don’t know how viable that makes him since, unless you pot him, he’s going to get maybe 1 or 2 stacks in

This one looks interesting. He’ll be great in long battles like stages, mythic titans, and challenge events. Not as sure about raids. In my experience unless you just have tons of tiles,vfast heroes typically go off a couple times in a battle. So you can probably rely on that 20% and maybe that 40% buff. But by the time you get to a third casting the battle is often decided by then or close to and then that third round of buffs isn’t really needed at that point. But that 20% or 40% buff to all could more than make up for not getting further in a raid… He’ll be interesting to see if the community makes use of him or not.

Looks like titan material. Especially mythics with extra minute time. Also good for auto-farming since he needs 6 tiles to load himself, damages always all enemies and then he also boosts allies. Might be useful in raids and wars (except Equalizer) with right setup. I can imagine him being flank to Ludwig or something.

Also, I got him.
