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:

Not bad, dispel is rare (duh) among 3*, and priority dispel is, well, only on this one. Slow speed may be a problem though. And another hit-all green 3* after Goopy and Zarel.

I think this will make the 2nd priority dispell 3*…Joukahainen from Kalevala also has priority dispell. It will be great to have another option for sure, especially useful for the crazy 3* Rush Tournaments these days (I actually really like them, craziness and all :joy:). Plus, having an option that is available more often would probably be beneficial to some as well. Though, I do wish that the Element was different. Nature already has Mnesseus…

Oh, we just have 3* Caitlín :smile:.

Why not give him an effect? Is that purposeful SGG?

I think he’s there to support other journey heroes. Which is kind of stupid because he’s the only 3* hero of his kind. You won’t bring him into 4* territory

Can anyone explain why he dispels buffs, but the additional damage is base on status effects? Is that supposed to mean buffs? Or am I missing something?

12

He deals the additional damage according to the buffs he removed

Some ppl say Yin is bad.
But not in this situation:

Screenshot_20240121-162425~2720×1280 154 KB

Brienne give Yin +145% atk boost.
Plus enemies have THAT MUCH BUFFS:
Screenshot_20240121-163308~2
Screenshot_20240121-163308~2720×534 61 KB

Wich mean he’ll deal 260% DMG to all boosted with Brienne to almost Wu Kong level(Without misses!).
If this would be 3* tournament I guess all enemies will be almost dead.
But cuz of it was war be attacked for:
Screenshot_20240121-163836
Screenshot_20240121-163836720×1280 172 KB

But it’s still not worse than nothing
Edit: I just realized that c3Obakan resisted dispell by passive so Yin dealt 27% less DMG, wich is also sayin’ why they get that small amount of DMG.
But we don’t have toons (edit 2: except Gan Ju and Valen, but IMO no one’s using them on defense) in 3*, so problem solves itself:)

Thanks for sharing this! Just maxed him recently and am trying him out :slight_smile:

15

Any feedback on him? Is he worth levelling?

16

Yup.
I have him at LB2, he’s a green Jokahainen, OP

In the priority dispel, yes. But Joka is a bit superior due to buff block imo.

But there are some situations where you can’t use him.
