Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

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.

[CL_Fire]

I have Nine-Headed Beast flashbacks reading its special.
I’d make this hero Very Slow personally.

[Vandermar1979]

This with nine-headed beast will be a great combo for rush wars with other heroes

[L33tVortex]

This one sounds very interesting complicated but interesting

[King_Kyree77]

This is going to be a busted hero paired with the goblins/Ludwig. Lol

[Violent.Wounds]

20th pull right when the portal opened…I was saving up coins for this one

[Tobblert]

Had 106 coins and thought “that’s 1 pull” did one and got this then realized I hade 9 more but think I’ll save them because I’m pretty sure I used my luck for this portal already

[PlayForFun]

The hero card now contains the changes.
Polls are now enabled.

[Kenzo]

Aside from stats, just trying to figure out it 9HB or this elephant has the stronger special

[Keruden]

I really like his art, and his skill must be really fun with tons of champs. He must be OP in rush wars, right flank with Ludwig tank.

[drdare]

Elephant and 9HB. 9Head are equally good doing different things better than the other.
9head resets buff and ailment, this jumbo makes everything undispellable.
That is a great combo to destroy an enemy. Both their SS will pair very well with each other along with cards that do raw damage and DOTs.

[marki]

anyone tested if u hit one target
will every hit be higher for stack or atack is counted after hits in order if cards?
sont have him zo test but seems he can be great titan hero

[PlayForFun]

In Beta I have tested him against the titan.

He has given 9 attack down and 9 defense stacks to the titan after you fired him once.

[RandaPanduh]

Guardian Elephant > Nine-Headed Beast in just about every way

1. Better stats (and better damage)
2. Stack debuffs, meaning they stack with plain debuffs, and makes G. Elephant a must for titans (and the fact that it can’t be removed is brutal)
3. Making ailments / buffs undispellable to all is a skill that’s unique. I honestly can’t think of another hero that does this atm. Although, 9HB reset is very rare

[MountainMann]

I think ( if its the same effect) Bella Donna does that ( makes buffs undispellable)

[Nightmare2048]

Ludwig flanked by Elephant and either Phenexa or Nautica and it’s game over if they fire. Will be fun on VF mode.

[RandaPanduh]

Essentially yes - they accomplish the same exact thing - although they’re technically two different skills. As “immune to buff dispel” can be blocked, whereas, I don’t think you can block this skill.

[Its_Sherlock]

With cSif he becomes average speed and you can’t dispel her riposte anymore
