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:

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

Basically a modern (lol) version of Pophit

Not sure if its quite as good as Pophit was in PvP (EDD is maybe a bit worse than DD unless you’re running mono, and its definitely worse on a defence team. Also not sure if softskin is better than the DoT).

But its still super strong regardless, this is definitely the one I’d want from this portal

I’m thinking this could become a pretty competitive event team once I max them up:

Peregrine would be a nice huge hitter but I don’t have him unfortunately

where is problem ???

Jaws, put atwood on wing so only 2 heroes get insanity vs 3. Its dangerous running insanity heroes without some healers or hit/healers.
