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:

Yes. Resets ailments.

Good to buy some time. She’s better if she’s 3x but I guess she should be average then for 3*.

Doesn’t zhabog do the same thing with more skill damage and he also reset all enemies’ ailments on fast. This guy’s DD is also not the best. Feels like a dud

Very happy to see new heroes that are not 5*, but both seem weak. Will not get emblems from me if I get him…

10

Anyone test this guy out?

11

Just got him. A single target Zhabog. I don’t really see a use for him, since I can’t find a use for Zhabog either. There are two problems with ailment reset.

First, there is an original caster of the ailment who can reset the ailment himself. The only added value from ailment reset is if you can cast it faster than the original hero, which means you’ll want to pair this with slower heroes. And slow heroes suck.

Secondly, there are not many ailments in this game I would pick over direct damage. Maybe mindless attack, but for that your options are pretty limited. Alfrike, Merlin and 2C Quintus come to mind, and out of these Alfrike is useless outside of very fast wars. So playing tag with Merlin and Quintus? I just can’t think of anything else.

Xandrella waddles proteus that cat from mighty pets bubbles i think

Also the family bonus is 1/2/3 heros 50%/75%/100% not just 50%

13

This hero is situational…but in the right situations can be quite good. Defense Down at Fast is desirable and the Journey Family Bonus is great. The only leveled Journey hero I have is Xie Zi Jing (scorpion lady). Getting 75% chance to extend her poison by 2 turns is huge.

May not be the most useful hero for endgame players with deeper rosters but certainly has a place on my team for a while Im sure. Versus Titans is a bonus.

Disappointed to have just pulled this hero… for a second I thought I pulled scorpion lady lol… so dull for a 3 Kingdoms hero… I won’t level him

16

And why is he so dull?

Here are a few more mindless attack heroes:

Medea
Eron
Hohenwerf
Bubbles
Waddles
Cupido (mindless heal)

I’m sure there are many more…

I was thinking of purple heroes. In my experience it’s usually ineffective to bring a debuff that relies on a hero of some other color. This is because board luck is still the most definitive factor in a successful attack, and tile damage is still very significant. I don’t play mono teams though, usually 3+2.

Good point, thanks. I just got this guy today and was a bit shocked at all the negative reviews.

His damage is not enough to be considered a sniper
His defense down is minimal at 35% for 1 opponent
He just doesn’t do as much as the other 4* in this portal

Nevertheless I was leveling him and pulled Koda so I never got to finish him as Koda is much better for my play style.

Thank you very much. I got Koda too last time, so i better do him. Purple 4* are a real nightmare for me. I got Juliani, the owl, and he hits like a wet towel. So i do Koda. Thanks for the tip!
