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

[Mattia64]

This hero seems…quite normal… Even when you have another mega Minion, the damage is barely better than Humbert or Gwynn (who always do 350%) and have useful secondary effects, while Fangs needs other members of an extremely rare family to have a good effect. The power seems to be equal to 1082. Are they finally slowing down the race for power? July saw an increase of 10 power, while June saw an increase of 13 power.And the fact that this special ability isn’t absurd gives me hope for the best

[CL_Fire]

Very combo hero. Indirectly said “deals more damage if player is paying for summons”

[Maciurella]

@PlayForFun hero arrived with small buff (365% → 375%)
You can enable polls.
Btw is this the longest hero name in game?!

[PlayForFun]

Actually it is a Nerf.

Anyway the polls are now enabled.

[drdare]

He doesnt look great on his own and even with the right setup his damage i pretty average. And he has one of the weakest MM which does nothing else.

[Saammistico]

I managed to catch him with two calls, but honestly he’s not a hero that I was. super excited about, his mega Minion is weak and doesn’t have any secondary help.

[MountainMann]

[QuikStrikeNinja]

In the noble realm of the neighborhood, there strides a figure of unwavering honor and respect. Known as Fangs in his youth, Frank Brimwell carries the mantle of duty with the grace of a true sergeant. Alongside his faithful companion, a canine comrade, he patrols the streets, upholding traditions and shining his helmet as a beacon of reverence. Frank—a name synonymous with respect and valor.

[MxJunie]

I joked that after completing Goblin Village and getting up to 200 coins for pulls, that at least one of them would have given me Frank Brimwell. What a coincidence when my first pull was Smarttongue with the bonus of Frank! And I just noticed he has a doggie under him! I like the dog. I’m offended he doesn’t give guard dog minions to nearby allies.

Special Skill reads like they’re “toning down” on the skills? He’ll pair well with Greg/William since Mega Minions are given to them immediately at start of battle. Was initially going to suggest that the second point, about how much damage was dealt should be up by 15% of the first point, but see that he was originally like that in beta before they nerfed it to 365%. Interesting choice.

[Tidyup]

Not worth the trouble to build this hero up unless you have full sets of garrison guard heroes. You need many other garrison MMs just for his MM to have average stats? Am I missing something

[Patrick09]

I don‘t know, but this hero is missing something important. He does less at average speed, than Shimmerscale at fast speed imo. Weak MM and even if you have a full set of Garrison Heroes, the MM stays weak. Apart of being weak, he does nothing in addition. I have him at 85, but I have the feeling, I regret working on him.

[drdare]

Same feeling so far. I have faced him couple of times in defense and he barely does 650 to all with another MM card. His MM doesn’t do anything other than a slash attack and no DOT like Shimmer.

[Nightmare2048]

I’ll get him to 3/70 because him and Vanya are my only Garrison heroes and they’re great for farming (you won’t believe how those starting Mega Minions speed up the process). But not that much fan of him either, once he’s 3/70 I’ll do Greg instead.

[Ragnarock]

I discovered something some of you may find interesting.

Fangs’ card in part reads:

Fangs himself counts as an ally. In other words, if he has a MM then he does the bigger attack to all.

[Maciurella]

Yup, that’s exactly how it work, and worked since his release

[Archero]

This hero compared to other recently released yellows is absolutely rubbish. Even Shimmer does more with fast mana.

[Iapetus]

First time I have success in Goblin portal . . .

Not exactly the best of the bunch, are they.

Well, I was very very lucky to get Fungustine in the super-elemental portal. Maybe I’ll pair them up in an anti-goblin team since one steals growth and the other can remove wither. Or maybe Fangs will sit with Kettle waiting for SE.

[Patrick09]

Kettle for sure, but Fangs is a solid hero. You should level him up. I have a very deep roster and use him here and there at 85. He’s not as good as Shimmerscale, but quiet useful.
