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:

This one looks conflicting…taunt and softskin then heal. I’m both intrigued and wary. Looking forward to seeing the released version.
Good luck everyone!

Seems like a weak gargoyle at slow speed

:face_with_spiral_eyes:

Stats: check out the Def and especially the HP on this beast.
Slow mana but for the next few weeks those stats should allow Guffa to survive until firing.

The Taunt along with the undispellable Softskin will take the sting out of most hits, meaning…

…Rush tournaments… oh my. :confounded: :scream:

I was about to toss my gem stack into this portal and then remembered I dont have any tome of tactics should I pull a hero I want.

Way to go, SG.

Did a few pulls and managed to get three 5* elduque, elkenan and azlar, none of which I need a duplicate. Grats to those who pull one!

Why doesn’t he have alpha taunt? He’s slow, he should have it to compensate for his speed.

What’s exactly “weak”? :slight_smile:

Sorry for your luck, RNG can be cruel. Similar to you I pulled Isarnia and dupe Gaillard. It’s like the odds are higher to pull a featured event hero, yet we still pull the trash :expressionless:

the heal part for being slow, would be great if its boost

Not nessasarily trash, but certainly not meta and definitely not worth leveling a duplicate of.
May the portals show you kindness my friend :blush:

I think it would be too much - together with soft skin.

that comment was before they add mana regen, i think he will be doing fine now

I’m a free to play player and saved up 2100 gems. Worth the 7 pulls? Or wait for another event?

Yes - if you get Mena :upside_down_face:

Wait till you will have for x10 pull. Especially as ftp you will be really disappointed when you will get nothing worth it after long gem collecting

1 Like

I’d wait. A 10-pull at 2600 is a far better deal for an ftp than the equivalent of 10 single pulls at 3000. That is the reason I always wait for 90 crystals for the Ascension/Aether portals.

I agree with @VladTepes & @nevarmaor . Wait for a 10 pull. The gem savings adds up over time.
