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:

SGG shows yet more contempt for those of us that like classic art and who came into the game naievely believing in their openning presentations.

E&P was introduced to us with classic heroes like Layla, Sharon and Bane with commentary from Vivica, Elena and Richard…

SGG, of course, could have celebrated their aniversary with a Captain E&P type heroic character, but we’re given another muppet.

Goblins tend to be OP so I’m glad that Garten is less so.

All the same, whales who came into the game with the promise of a classic style will be leaving. When they are forced to use or combat against booth gargoyle and cartoon-type characters, several high spenders, who will be more affected by these OP additions, will leave.

Is 700 reduced health anything to bring out the champagne? Many enemies in upper alley have ca 3000 in health. You need to fire this average guy several time in order to make difference. Or so I miss something?

Happy gaming

I assume the main point is all allies counterattacking and boosthealing from the incoming damage; that he takes a bite out of max health before watching your heroes dash themselves to pieces is just the appetizer.

Also, less than a day after release, already spotted in the wild while I’m raiding at the 2700 cups level

Eerily quiet with this Slimer/Marshmallow Man cross-breed, despite the polls being positive. One of my guild-mates (and our war defense wizard) deemed him a “new meta tank”. I pulled him & not so certain, though I am admittedly intrigued by the counterattack with 50% damage heal.

Anyone using & have some battle stories to share? Positive, negative, or meh?

Happy gaming! :cupcake:

Does soft skin only work on luna/ waterpipe or also alfrick/cupid/xandrella?

17

So Garten or Smarttongue? Same damage deal but who is better in this meta ? Can’t decide. Gartens special can be dispelled wither can’t.

18

Smarttongue by a mile.

Smarttongue. Her wither is a nightmare to handle. If she fires twice, all the power hitters become wet noodles. And then her DD against SS makes her allies hit like a truck.
