Hero Costumes Discussion

That’s interesting, Tyrum costume version is my favorite, no other heroes from 1* to 5* has special skill cleanser with fast mana speed, except Sonya costume.

And there are no limit caps for costumes, so that is not the problem, if you did not like it, do not use it and do not level Tyrum costume.

I know I’m going to be in the minority here but in the short term at least I see much more value summoning in the costume chamber than in any of the portals. As my roster is big and largely filled with s1 heroes (from 3 to 5 * ) every non dupe costume has a value to me (even if it’s only for RT). Compare these odds to the 3 or so % chance of getting something that I will use from an event or seasonal portal and it doesn’t seem that bad. Also with 18 maxed 5*s (working on 19 and 20) in war I’m generally using every 5 I have and almost all the 4s that are strong vs the enemy’s tank colour so even buffing my 4s a little will help me quite a lot. I feel like this release wasn’t aimed at f2p but more at the long term c2p players like myself who have some event / seasonal / hotm heroes but not many and already have plenty of war depth so the extra levelling up doesn’t have to compete with more important targets.

Please change to only 1 featured hero per month instead of 2. This way players are able to choose the specific costume they want.

Also, please never never consider adding costumes for HOTMs/Event/Atlantis heroes in future. This costume should only be restricted to TC20 underwhelming heroes. TP of 752 for a 5* is clearly rubbish.

Its a business…?? What do you think they’re going to do?

When you go to a cafe and they have new cake on the menu, do you abuse the staff for charging for the new cake??

Seriously, get over yourselves everyone who is COMPLAINING ABOUT A BASIC BUSINESS STRATEGY… SGG is a business… they exist to make money. They offer a service to make money… So stop being so entitled to say that they should be offering everything for free… Be grateful that there even IS a free way to play.

You do know that a 1.5% chance for 2 featured hero is not cheap right?

There’s making a business (which is fine, Paywalls and all that)

And there’s lootboxes which are pretty much gambling. Another costume lootbox to draw in more addicted problem gamblers?

Fantastic business of course!

Nor did I say so, but if I summon normally the only result I will use (not for food) is a 5* or non dupe event / seasonal 4. In the costume chamber in the short term if I get boldtusk, Sonya, rigard, melendor etc etc they will actually improve my war teams and in some cases titans and even raids. I am not saying they will make my defence but they are still of value to me

Weren’t costumes supposed to raise base stats by 5% or more? Why are max costumes giving stats that are less than base heroes?

Apologies if this has been addressed.

You already have close to 20 maxed 5*, It won’t take that long for you to reach 30, then those fancy costume for classic 4* are just not going to be attractive anymore (maybe except for emblemed costumed Boldtusk)

I disagree!

I have near on 20x 80’s… I think that several of these costumes for the 4* are going to be very good…

Good examples being SONYA who now can dispell… Something which was limited really only to Rigard in the 4* tier… and also RIGARD who now has the ability to boost attack… something which was missing from Purple as a whole (excepting Khiona).

Great FAQ, @Guvnor!!

So, if I interpreted it right… the base stat bonus applies to your hero card as soon as you acquire the costume??

I will do my own due diligence in comparison to maxed out pre-costume cards.

Yes. Provided you have both the COSTUME and the BASE HERO. Need both sides of the coin. else its just a penny.

Anyway I will repeat this again: restrict costume to only classic heroes and never do it for HOTM/Event/Atlantis heroes.
Reason is simple, currently no experienced players is interested in your elemental pulls or ascending most of your underpowered TC20 heroes. The only players making those expensive elemental pulls are mainly noobs. But guess what, those elemental portals are a permanent fixture in this game and if SG wants to boost sales, they better restrict costume to only classic heroes. Once costumes are extended to HOTMs and other heroes, classic will become the same as before, mainly no one is interested in them again, and all you does is to introduce another layer of grind and money spending to ■■■■ even the whales off.

Yes but part of a successful business is hearing complaints and adjusting the model accordingly. This is true even when complaints are ridiculous or sensical, valid or invalid.

This is why many business yield to horrible customers, because in the grand sense, it’s beneficial and more profitable. As you say, it IS a business.

It doesn’t make sense to say we should be “grateful” that they are providing a “service” and at the same time say they are just a business trying to make money. Why say players are acting entitled and then bestow this sense of entitlement to a business? Just because they have F2P doesn’t mean it’s charity; they benefit from it.

Players are customers and business is business.

I love what they have done to the heroes:

Joon - true god of war now (fighter)
Lianna - Sailor Moon - green Alasie with different class (cleric)
Richard - made so much tougher (barbarian)
Isarnia - high attack stats (sorcerer)
Quintus - now having a secondary ability like a super slow Zeline (monk)
Vivica - yellow Kunchen + dispel (sorcerer)
Horghall - just higher stats (ranger - :stuck_out_tongue:)
Elena - anti titan monster (rogue - OMG)
Rigard - everything great except WHY RANGER???
Melendor - the most ideal change of all 4*, he changed from Gandalf to Saruman (wizard)
Sonya - fast blue cleanser nuff said (druid)
Tiburtus - now his KISS music affects all (paladin)

The biggest disappointment for me was BT (give him a frying pan and turned him into a pure healer - liked his original better).

Costumes basically upgrades the heroes by a star because of the stats and also they can still be emblemed.

So of course they should cost more resources and mats.
