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:

So now the question i have on the mechanism is. If there is fungus on both defense and offense then both fungus fires, what happens to the slime. They can dispel or relocate. They just neutralise each other?

If it hasn’t been changed since the beta, then no buff stealing will happen because there will be dispel immunity on both sides.

She’s kinda cute… a Disney kinda cute …good lord they’re killing me with the cuteness :heart_eyes:

I am going to say this now, for those of you who actively chase her. Reading her card, she inherently does too much at her mana speed, so if, like Garten (and so many others) she gets hit with a nerf DON’T BE SURPRISED! She’s clearly in the same realm as telluria and Garten and is being featured in the same fashion as Garten and Jove, who were eventually reworked for being too popular AND powerful. So spend to your hearts content, but don’t complain about a bait and switch when the pattern has existed for over 4 years.

Well first 10 pull and pulled this and 2 bonuses (2 hotm) i was hoping for Miki because i always wanted but ill certainly be expecting the nerf.

This is true. This hero is beyond OP as a healer.

Pull at your own risk, use her as much as you can. Zynga wont care about your riot after their pockets are full.

(Not being judgmental with anybody. Devs wants money, players wants power. That’s ok but the negativity from kinda obvious things is quite boring to read - sorry).

Good luck w/ your pulls, everyone.

This is true.

She will likely be nerfed in the future.

That being said, she is WAYYY better than Gunktus, the other new hero, because her Sticky Surface steals growth. Another attempt by ZG to counter their OP Goblins.

My guess, if a nerf were to come to her, it would reduce boosted health to 800, and reduce sticky surface to 3 turns. It should be reduced to two turns or something, imo, as normal attacks come through pretty often as it is, but whatever. I’m not pulling for her. I am a no-spend protester.

+25% defense for all allies is meh as it is because you generally want a higher % defense buff. They already reduced this out of the more favorable level of buffed defense, though, so it will likely not get hit again.

And Starwalker is standing over here saying, “What am I? Chopped liver? You forgot I was featured this way too and then done dirty, just like them!”

And I say, " Yes Starwalker, after your nerf you are chopped liver."

And then Pophit walks over and taps you on the shoulder…

So yes. Everyone should absolutely expect a nerf somewhere down the line. It’s happened enough times now to be a well-established pattern.

Besides the OP skills, this hero has 1795 defense at 4-90 +25.

Why does the poll end at Over Powered? This Hero needs a new category of it’s own that is beyond over powered.

I warmly recommend to level up to 4/80 an wait at least 2 updates… :slight_smile:

And no one is talking about the MM this fungus can sprout when taking a massive damage or to flanks if it dies. This card is made to survive nuclear wars.

A Paladin class
Regen 70 hp per turn for 6 turns
Give a MM with 1000+ HP and insane damage to itself if it takes more than 500ish damage
Boosts 1000 HP
Steal one buff per turn for 4 turns for all
A reasonable defense up
Give a MM with 1000+ HP and insane damage to flanks if it manages to die after all this.

For sure. Plus, With these skills and stats she does not even need emblems and aethers, anyway :sweat_smile:
