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.

Hes severly underpowered - compared to phorcys he is absolutely not in the same league
But so are the others of the new 5* - phorcys is way above the rest
Needs a big big buff - similar archie is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than this dud
Hell he is even weaker than ole ■■■ lewena
Maybe give him that heal stack on first charge to make him useable at least
There are very fast heroes that do more damage and have better secondary specials than this lame hero at only fast
I guess purple one will have the same faith like oni - versatile players love to play with him other players that are fighting most of the time vs tarlak & mitsuko tanks might prefer other heroes i think
Does anyone understand mana, what kind of mana is it? Fast ? Slow ? Half…
And the operation? You have to use it consecutively, does that mean that the first time you charge mana you have to wait for the second charge?
My God what a way to complicate the descriptions of the hero cards
He might not be the Most OP hero that I have ever seen. But i like him. Im lacking in minion removal tools.
The one thing you have to remember is that newer heroes have much better overall stats than heros that have been released so far. And typically have more passives.
I would rather them not release constant OP heros. It is really unsustainable. They have tons of new heros each month. Gradual upgrades are better. But i know in my heart that what makes more money is getting people to chase heros and the best way to do that is release OP heros, not ones with small upgrades. Its a catch 22 at times for them im sure.
Either way, I am happy with my pull. Don’t chase heros and you won’t be disappointed.
Enjoy him! He is very good. Tons of damage to all at fast speed is always good, minion removal will be great for a long time. Def up is also a plus. He may not be AAA on defence, but that is just a small part of the game. To say he is broken or bad is just wierd in my opinion. Gratz on a great pull
just realised he does even less damage than archie
not even from his ultra low attack (looks like
4*) stat but even in percentage
just looked up lewena which also has higher attack stats and also does higher percentage of damage ?!?
shes like 3 years old lol
this hero would have been balanced if he would have done 350% dmg on first charge and 430% on second charge with his 4* hero low attack stat
this should have been a hero of the month - but not a event hero
I think you are trying really hard not to like this hero. Very very sturdy, fast removes minions, 50% chance to do alot of damage to all each cast…decent damage else, attack up and def up for team.
Idk why you trying so hard to hate on a Decent Hero. I think you also forget most people dont have huge rosters of 5* heros and would be super happy to pull this hero.
While Dark is still in vogue… calling Galapgo unusable had me
Do you have this hero… or are analysing some mental theory…?!
When was the last time you fought an alliance war ?!
If you did recently … how many minion heroes in equaliser war defences have you seen ?!
Asking for buff of the Dark hero already, despite claiming dark to be better really !
Changing tides : Fast - average alternating mana speeds is something new… & get the appropriate troops in place to turn both speeds into functionally fast… (BTW, fast is already fast, in case you try to speak about it )
Easiest troop to get the mana break point without any emblem or costume benefit is Cyclops L15… & it doesn’t take much effort to reach there… especially for the new players…
I am amazed at blind criticism… maybe you expect only newbies must be visiting the forum
Will live it here for now… I am sure you will comeback with some more BS… so will deal with that too… Unless, you speak stuff backed by some rationale… which I will be happy to welcome !
Where did i ask for a buff of the purple please tell me?
I am very unhappy about this turtle as he is so much below that purple taunter in terms of hero quality
His whole special seems super outdated in a world of charge heroes like amethyst or hypnos and op monsters like jove - he would have been nice years ago where frigg had its prime (for offense use combined with friggs def down) but not nowadays where you need strong heroes (purple taunter is one of them ) to suceed vs meta defs on the regular
Also at least at wars im partcipating in not one minion hero is seen on defense - its more like double erlangs aramis alphataunt-ludwig and so on
Maybe you do fight vs frosth or freya tanks on the regular but i dont really see those at war getting used
But its ok - we will see in 2 weeks when this thread is on page 6 players guide and galapagos been categorized as the atomos of untold tales
