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.

Yeah right. Gonna waste any more money acquiring, leveling , limit breaking, master embleming another strong hero so you can nerf it. I have stronger words racing through my mind so use your imagination.
Now he deals minor damage to nearby Enemies too.And the Mega Minions have 51% HP and 40% Attack. Even if I will never have him, I find him to be an excellent versatile hero
@PlayForFun Hi,Sorry,now the special of the Slime Is renamed from “Backstab” to “Slime Slap” and the normal skill deals 520% damage to the target and minor damage to nearby Enemies and not only to the target.Thank you!
I’m just learning about insanity and was wondering how insanity would interact with his revival.
If he turns insane would he give an enemy his revival buff?
Or maybe lord Loki just transforms into gunktus
It almost feels like this guy is much much stronger than the guys who just got nerfed. Doesn’t that seem fair? The good news is if we don’t stand together and send Zynga a message, he will get nerfed just as fast too. No one can argue that peperflame, as she was is stronger than this beast or the other new card.
The more I read, the more I find this card hilariously powerful. I don’t think I can even kill him with whatever obsolete hero I got. For some miracle I dealt any damage more than 25%, he spawns MM. He’s dead, slime came out with 100% inherited health and mega minion to allies. That’s 2k plus HP on slime, forcing whole effort to kill that freaking slime. Can’t kill it in 3 round? He came back from the underworld, or in this case under the sink. Unkillable for me. Just being undead is already taxing enough, and he hits 3 still at FAST. FAST!
I can’t believe what I read, FAST!
And Boss Wolf is VERY SLOW.
He even manage to make Farrah or Hurricane look really silly.
I want what SG/Zynga and team is smoking, that is some strong substance.
I also think these passive skills from the two new heroes are really really strong. Wonder how I should be able to kill these guys (now even more because of the fact that Pepper, Pophit and so on don’t do as much damage as before). My strategy till now were big snipers, to take one enemy out after another but I guess this time is over since hitting the new heroes will instantly spawn a massive minion…
Honestly, Gunktus seems easy to manage and kill. I do not think he is worth pulling for. It’s more of a team nerf that he gives such weak mega minions on death. They only deal 40% damage on hit, unlike goblin mega minions who do ~260% dmg on hit. Plus, because they are mega minions, his allies cannot cast other more helpful minions on themselves. HOTM Neema’s minions are nearly as chunky and you can have three of them.
His revive buff can be dispelled. Dispell, make him dance, no more revive.
