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:

If I don’t get lucky enough to snag one of the legendaries and got him instead, I’d consider 2lbing him for sure, just to have the wither removal

I’m glad Greg doesn’t seem too far along the power creep scale, which seems fair.

I’m not! :sweat_smile:

I’m just wondering what I now look like, since made me a weak, via proxy, poisoner. :rofl:
At least the stats are ok!

Very nice 4* to have available vs wither. That auto-mega minion helps his survival also

This guy seems insane. Starts with mega-minion, does AoE of 100% damage (a tickle I know, but it will add up with what follows), summons mega minion with attack of 300% each hit from whom also inflicts corrosive bleed (how can bleeding spread to nearby targets? That doesn’t make sense). Good thing mega minion has relatively low HP, otherwise it would be nasty.

Definitely good one to have.

Switch that weak damage to 30% damage amp for 3 turns and you’ll have the perfect hero :wink:

shame his regen ability is useless as his minions get damage first and not him and he never heals

I don’t have any aethers to even give him LB0, so I mostly chose defense and health…

…and with the jugs hanging off his belt looks like his bits are dangling in the air…

/\ /\ /\ /\ /\ \ \ \ \ \ \ / / / / / / / /\ /\ /\ /\ /\

The AoE is a breeze on a hot summer day, not very threatening. The MM is beastly and the bleed at LB2 is about 127 per turn from the MM’s hit (even with just one it should be on the entire enemy team very quickly).

Is it worth maxing doubles to run together? With Shar’kai the damage could be substantial or a magnifier like Franz in a Rush situation…

300% damage to one per turn and quickly 127 damage to all* per turn is the base case with one of him. Is the extra 300% damage per turn worth a second?

*@Fishy 's image above showed 381 Bleed damage over three turns so 127 per turn
