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:

Pretty much like the Hippo, just with stronger hits but only to a random enemy. Hippo deals damage to all, but less. I think she is a solid Hero. Congrats! :+1:

Her hero is updated with the changes.
Polls are now enabled.

Hippo hits all when a special is cast. Darkfeather…when an ally’s special is cast, all allies have a 50% chance of hitting. Ginger hits one random enemy whenever an ally casts their skill. Did I get that correct?

Honestly, she is a decent hero with that unusual skill/buff. Very hard hitting, but I prefer Darkfeather and Hippo. Congrats to those who summoned her! And good luck to those trying.

I am thinking of use Darkfeather, Hippo and Ginger together, with two very fast/fast hero. It sounds a massacre.

But I am sure their buffs will somehow cancel each other’s unless they fire in a specific order. But maybe it will work :smile:

On that order. Hippo and Ginger will overwrite Darkfeather’s buff on them.

I have been using Darkfeather and Hippo. If Hippo is unleashed first, Darkfeather will overwrite Hippo. However, if Darkfeather fires first, his buff takes hold, and Hippo won’t overwrite it. So when you do the thing. Hippo’s buff will hit all, then Darkfeather will do its random hits.

I do not know how Ginger will affect this. I’m guessing that you would fire Darkfeather first, then Ginger and Hippo. The problem is that when you fire their specials again, the buffs won’t activate. Seems like it will only go for the other heroes.

Just pulled her. That random hit will be crazy when she is maxed.

Ginger is 1-12 ( special 1-8)
Hippo is 4-90 ( 8 -8)

rapid mono they all skill together and then in succession for each hero who skills she starts shots of 1300 and more damage… and she’s still 85… imagine her at 90… I created a really crazy rapid mono with her… .

Thanks. Looks like Ginger and Hippo’s effect will co-exist. Won’t overwrite each other.

Yes, she is more powerful than I thought (probably due to the buff). I just tested in a green stack. Nine tiles and she killed an LB2 Aradia and half- killed an LB2 Gelert. I cast her and 3 other greens. She hit Aradia for 1198, Gelert for 1246, and Aradia again at 1179!

All also at 85 only! I didn’t even need to use her attack buff!

3 tokens and I got Ginger. I think she is not as good as Hippo.
I don’t have Hippo, but I got Darkfeather.
Is that ok to use Ginger and Darkfeather together? or they will overwrite each other?

Already tested Ginger and she is fun to use. She hits like a truck albeit randomly.

Question - does Ginger increase hippos special to 245% per hit in this case? Same for Darkfeather, would it increase to 290%?

Gingers buff doesn’t seem to increase the damage hippo does

Yes, darkfeather will overwrite Gingers buff , and if she fires after him she will overwrite his buff on her. Same as hippo and Darkfeather interaction

They work great together just have to watch when you fire them
