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:

He’s useful for titans, and I think only for titans.
Ok, maybe for events, but there are many better heroes.
Game Well :art:

Where I live is right after midnight (Central Europe) so Today 8:00 AM is fine.

Anyway the hero good for titans, but I don’t like that damage intake is increased only for target. That limits his usability for Events. And average sniper for Raids? Well, I dunno. I feel Sparklight does much more for this speed.

They changed him to fast and damage amp to all. So way more desirable now

I do like those changes but wish they hadn’t changed it to -30% decrease in attack instead of 50% increase to allies damage. Still a nice hero though.

He is basically just a better HOTM Gladius with less cool art.

Why only titan worthy? He is great to take against Dodge heroes like e.g. Tametomo is as well.
I can’t drag a Dead cat out of those astral portals, so 150€ later I am just mehh, f that. I would like him or Lemonwood though!

Totally reworked after release.
But I think his old version was better

He’s probably going to replace Buster in Events

Agreed. I think maybe he was stepping on Gastille’s toes too much. Still looks like a solid support hero to swing a battle

Fast damage dealer with increased damage to all? He seems like a great hero to me for all aspects of the game.

As I got no 5* Owls or Goblins I got Starwalker twice and Sparklight so I’m on team Astro Elves.

I really live my two guys and if I’m going to spend some money it’s gonna be on this portal.

Hopefully Hammerclang will soon join the team.

I ended up with the 2 reds, Hammerclang and Sparklight, which one is better? Can really only work on one.

Club Quikstrike is all about referrals you have to know someone that knows someone. Recently, I’ve been searching for a blacksmith. The blacksmith I had employed, Andre retired to Dark Souls. Lemonwood said he knew someone got me in contact with him, hired him on the spot. Really liked the name Hammerclang. it shows how much he enjoys his work.
