Some Popular Questions for Discussion

  • Is Himeros worth summoning for?

  • Would you use Himeros on Defense? Offense? War? Quests/Events? Titans?

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:

:thinking: Wondering About Your Personal Situation?

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

If you’d like more extensive advice on sorting out your particular roster, I recommend creating a new thread in Gameplay Help & Tactics, and posting screenshots of your hero roster, along with your questions.

Do we see same risk as recently on other heros that are nerfed on released ? The new SG style

Happy gaming

@PlayForFun not sure if the forum allows it, but It would be nice to enable feedback polls AFTER the hero is out, otherwise SG could release a weaker version (looking at you, thanatos) than the one showed in beta, and the results will be faked. Just to add more knowledge.
If this brings additional work to you please ignore me :grin:

He seems amazing if released like that (we will find out soon)

I love VF snipers, so it would be great to create a team with him and Milena(from next SE)

11

Great support dps hero. Useful to suppress taunt defenses.

12

Why would Ludwig like him?

I miss a good blue in my offence team. I think this hero will do very well in a team with

Oceanus-Arco-Ludwig-Matilda

14

Just thought it was strange you mentioned Ludwig, because this guy needs to go flank to be worth it, and Ludwig does no damage so he can’t even go next to Ludwig. Not that you would even want to put him there at very fast he doesn’t need Ludwig. So to mention Ludwig specifically, there’s very little synergy with him.

I hope I can try it out :-), but I think he will do well next to Ludwig and the other heroes I mentioned. And give Ludwig some higher tiledamage.

But hey, the changes are very low to get him. It was just a thought :slight_smile:

16

The damage is only boosted for special skills that do damage. It won’t increase tile damage. Just letting you know so you can make informed choices on summoning for this one. I’m sure nobody will be upset getting him, hehe. Like you said, small chance. Good luck!

oops, ok, read that desciption not good enough :laughing:
Thought it was damage, my bad and apologies…well, did six pulls and got…Zarola :slight_smile:

Got him with my 7th token… Seems decent for taking out taunt heroes with a ice/blue team.
