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

• What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about "unfair pulls")

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]

A red healer with unique skill that ignores defense for all attacks and adds crit on top? Nice.

[Kenzo]

I feel like she’s a bit too similar to Phenexa, being an average speed healer who boosts crit

[Nightmare2048]

Yeah but Phenexa is mainly used (or I use her) as resurrection halver and mana booster. Menwhile this shark will be used to bypass reflects, counters and what have you, and does also some water damage with passive, like S5 heroes.

[StroopwafelJack]

I thought this straightaway.

SG seems to like red healers with crit chance, as I have Phenexa I think I can avoid this portal depending on what the others are like.

[Chadmo]

While similar to Phenexa, a hero that can bypass buffs is completely different. This one will be so useful for all the Ludwig and Ferdinand defenses out there.

[CobraKai]

…and the Queen Anne tanks…

[Bandolivin]

taunt is not a defense buff

[Nightmare2048]

True but Ludwig increases his defense against specials, which hard for snipers to finish him off. Flip can help with that.

[Kenji69666]

Any dispel mostly can help with that. Or any buff blocker even better

Not to mention buff stealer or buff redirecter

[TalBane]

My first 5* red healer. With 50% critical chance and bypass def buff. Not bad… all good.

[PlayForFun]

The hero has arrived without any changes.
Polls are now enabled.

[RossNarko3]

@PlayForFun bypassing def buffs works on normal attacks or special skills too?

[tobovian]

It reads “with their attacks” so should mean tiles also?

[RevengMzter]

Got me the killer seal , this hero will do great for me

[Dyna49]

@Kenji69666

Any dispel mostly can help with that. Or any buff blocker even better

Not to mention buff stealer or buff redirecter

Sure. But do the others provide 50% crit as well?

[Hauepine]

I used him on titans now almost unleveled (special still at 1/8) with buster, oceanus, marjana c and sun. She did great and i improved my scores greatly. I used baldur in her place before for attack power

[Alex_The_Landstander]

Happy with getting him! Not as happy the second time but I’ll take it

[Nightmare2048]

Got him too with last token I had. Started to work on him asap. Will be handy against all those reflecters and counterers.
