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:

Why was I expecting a green, ranger hero!?

Paired with the right hero(es) can easily give insanity to 2 opponents.

Sergei gives elemental def down… Hunter gives normal def down… More often than not that will be a kill… I suppose c2 domitia as well… But at average speed… So slower than fast and magic.

Should read Damage is decreased from 550% to 500%.

Does anyone have Hunter’s Fancy Name / Title ?

Thx. I have fixed this typo.

About Fancy name the information is already added here:

I have just enabled the polls.

I don’t have any opinion on him yet really. I seem to only draw attack heroes if I do get a new one. I guess I was rather lucky with my 7 epic hero tokens

With my luck, if that “Bonus Draw” appears on the portal, it’ll be another Aviana. /crosses fingers for Hunter/

is there a schedule for the mystery heroes?

i know it doesn’t have a set rotation but knowing in advance about them can be helpful in some cases

i checked the tentative calendar topic and didn’t notice him there or from the Oracle reply there

i think it will be helpful to have a master topic on their schedule

It feels like roughly every ten days… But they don’t run it when a really desirable portal is out… So almost every ten days.

I’d really like this hero, but as others mention, they come when no desirable portal is open. Pulling in the legends portal doesn’t equate a need for the heroes for me…. I just pulled a measly 18 times and stopped. But a desirable card for sure, I like him.

It could be worse. It could be Myztero.

I miss 3 legends that can be selected or are featured and would not mind any of them, but what bothers me about /hunter is that he has to kill someone to inflict Insanity. And with Power Creep currently in game, he won’t be able to kill consistently for long.
