:hugs: Family Bonus

Ninja Heroes have a family bonus for unique heroes of the same family.

Ninja Family
Bonus for 1 / 2 / 3 Heroes:

  • 5% / 10% / 15% chance to dodge normal attacks and Special Skills
  • 5% / 10% / 15% chance to counterattack with 60% / 90% / 120% of the damage received

The two effects have individual sequential processing. So one may not trigger while the other might.

:thought_balloon: What do you think of Garnet ?

This thread is for thoughts and discussion on Garnet.

Based on preferences Forum members have expressed, please try to stick mainly to Garnet and not wander off topic too much to other heroes.

Some Popular Questions for Discussion

  • Is Garnet worth summoning for?

  • Would you use Garnet on Defense? Offense? War? Quests/Events? Titans?

  • Which heroes on your Roster best pair with Garnet ?

  • What heroes would you take when facing Garnet as an opponent?

  • Would you give Garnet Sorcerer Emblems? Which Talent Grid path will you choose?

  • What do you think of special?

  • What do you think of Garnet’s character design?

  • If you Summoned Garnet and would like to post your results, please include some thoughts on why you Summoned Garnet, and whether/how you plan to make use of them.*

*NOTE: Summon Results posted without any commentary/feedback at all should be flagged as Off Topic and removed, based on preferences expressed by the Forum community. Please include some comments about what you think of Garnet when posting Summon Results. In addition to opinions about Garnet, you are also encouraged to include how many Summons it took before receiving Garnet (or how many Summons you’ve done without receiving Garnet), so other players are presented with realistic experiences of the rarity of Legendary Event Hero.


:money_with_wings: Avoiding Overspending & Heartache :broken_heart:
Or: How many summons are needed to get a Legendary Challenge Event Hero?

It’s important to remember that Challenge Event Heroes have EXTREMELY low summoning odds. No amount of summoning will guarantee a Challenge Event Hero.

On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 1.65% chance of summoning Garnet.

But that statistic can lead our minds astray in exactly how our odds play out as we continue summoning.

Some useful insights:

  • 15 times out of 100, you’ll get Garnet by pull 100 (26,000 gems)
  • 56 times out of 100, you’ll get Garnet by pull 500 (130,000 gems)
  • 95 times out of 100, you’ll get Garnet by pull 1,796 (467,200 gems)
  • 99 times out of 100, you’ll get Garnet by pull 2,761 (717,900 gems)

Putting that in Perspective

  • 85 out of every 100 people won’t get Garnet by the 100th pull

  • If 1 Million players each spent $259.97 (US) to summon :one::zero::zero: times, 846,364 of those players wouldn’t get Garnet

  • 5 out of every 100 people won’t get Garnet by the 1800th pull

  • If 1 Million players each spent $4,671.53 US to summon :one::eight::zero::zero: times, 49,663 of those players wouldn’t get Garnet

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:


:thinking: Wondering About Your Personal Situation?

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

If you’d like more extensive advice on sorting out your particular roster, I recommend creating a new thread in Gameplay Help & Tactics, and posting screenshots of your hero roster, along with your questions.

To me she is awesome, especially with other family members :slight_smile:

I’d rather get her with Cobalt, but he hasn’t come around yet….only missing him and Onyx :man_shrugging:t2:

I got her the last time Ninja Tower came through. Hoping to get her a friend this time around

Been wanting to get her for a while and finally got her on a 10 pull this morning! I have Cobalt fully emblemed and can’t wait to see her in action alongside him. My only problem is that I just finished leveling C. Vanda to +20 so she has all my sorcerer emblems. It’s a blessing regardless and I’m happy to finally have her.

Congrats dude. She’ll completely change your teams. I would reset Vanda in a heartbeat. I have Garnet at L85 T20. I regret nothing.

2 Likes

Wow, hadn’t really considered resetting Vanda, but I’ll definitely give it some thought now. Garnet is that good huh?

Yes. She’s INCREDIBLE. Check out these post LB stats. Garnet and Vanda both deliver Garzul style immunity. Garnet just does so much more. She’s much more dynamic than Vanda. I really like Vanda. But I LOVE Garnet.

yeah that’s pretty impressive stats lol. that def and health is crazy

I flank her with Milena. I’m convinced that combo has been the cause of many “phone meet wall” introductions.

Again, CONGRATS. She’ll do very well for you.

Which path? Def or hp?

Most go all defense! That is what I have done. I have not limit broken her yet, but will eventually.

Has Garnet been nerfed? I don’t see the immunity being undispellable

It never was undispellable.

Only Zircon has undispellable buff for the Ninjas., and Quartz on the last charge.

Is her buff really undispellable ?

Sadly not. It can be dispelled. Description needs updating.
