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:

It’s hard to tell how well a card will play just from the description. Passives and synergies have more to do with performance than ever before. It will be interesting to see how these two new heros play out or blend in after release. :thinking:
Good luck everyone!
And thanks for all your hard work PFF! Your awesome!

This is actually 25%, not 5%. So up to 250% extra attack from stacks

Thx, I have adjusted it in the hero card.

My best luck ever in this game (regarding overcoming low odds).

First two heroes from the Black Friday portal were Hrothgar and Wealhtheow. I assumed the portal had a bug but then the 3* heroes arrived, and kept arriving…that 30x contained two Hrothgars so have some blue projects to work on for most of 2025.

Would bring Owls against this hero since they receive a mana gen buff for every attempted mana gen ailment fired at them.
Also, heroes immune to mana cuts are interesting.

THEREFORE

On defense Lemonwood should prove to be a “Best Buddy”. If the attacker brings heroes immune to mana cuts, Lemonwood will destroy the entire team if allowed to fire, if not bringing heroes immune to mana cuts then Hrothgar will be very effective.
Either way, the synergy between the two forces the attacker to choose cards carefully.

This is next level luck.

Congrats

Having a hard time deciding whether to convert a Paladin or Rogue legendary troop for him (and to a lesser extent Fizzcoil). Any opinions?

  • Paladin, defense buff increase
  • Rogue, crit chance increase

Got mine. At testing, he will quite hard to deal with

Will you use him on defense or just on attack?

I love the crit boost and IF you have heroes that give Crit boosts the combination is powerful.

If you are NOT combining him with a crit booster the Paladin defense buff is helpful in all situations.

Final point: How are you set for emblems of each class? My example is I cannot level Cleric or Ranger troops due to the severe lack of the appropriate emblems.

Will definitely use him on both attack and defence. Only crit booster is Galapago, and even that is random so leaning towards paladin for the survivability

Faced him twice on defense so far, not particularly tough to deal with honestly

Got him today on 17th draw of a 30 draw. Glad to have him. He looks awesome.

Rogue troops only when you have MM heroes that are compatible like leafwhisk, or the new hero kolya
