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:

Another one of these super element portals to give a miss. Hopefully the next one has something decent

Red healers are limited stock, but I still don’t know about this one. In most extreme case he’ll heal for 20% and will cleanse and give attack boost to himself only. Grazul does more at VF speed. To say nothing of Phenexa who is slower but has awesome passive, awesome family (or lack of family) bonus and her special is very versatile and very helpful. On the other hand I still like those passives and family bonuses. I hope he’ll get buff though, but seeing Zengar and that Super Blue Chick didn’t, well yeah.

Also Pruifying Flame? And Dual Laster Blades? Does SGG think that by making a typo in regular word they get super cool name for their special?

I think this guy is more decent after his buff, if you have around 5 fire tiles on the board then he’s basically a fast Phenexa, but instead of ailment refresh and increased critical hits, he cleanses (which is always useful).

@PlayForFun can you please edit the hero card as it still says he only increases attack for fire allies.

I just got him, on my father’s birthday, who has the same name. Will definitely be a nice addition for green titans at the least.

So he’s basically a red c rig with extra things going on?

Very nice and useful hero - unfortunately his summon percentage is soooo low

Too bad the cleanse is the last special. If he cleaned first then did the other stuff, he would be perfect.

Rhys is still better in almost all metrics but cleanse in red at fast is always welcome. Ignazio will be good for titans.

Amazing offensive support hero. Fast, heals, and cleanse. Also adds attack bonus which is the cherry on top. The golden standard for any healer since game release. Long lasting.

Do we think he’s the second best red healer after Hathor then?

16

The buff into live game has really benefitted Ignazio and I would definitely put him as either first or second in terms of available red healers in the game.

In fact - the top ones for me are: Hathor; Ignazio; and Phenexa

don’t get me wrong, whilst there are plenty of alternative 5* red healers which can be used in alternative sitruations these three take the cake for their versatility.

Would place hathor + ignacio before phenexa because speed is soo important in todays meta playing against strong defs - even more with that 2lb bull$hiat

Unfortunately he is hidden behind those super wack quote of elemental summons and only the fattest and most careless whales can get him easily

But im sure sg wants to make money with him through covenant summons so dont go crazy in this elemental portal with those $hitty rates and all of those old heroes

Which is why doxan is more rarer. Most likely this guy will show up in the covenant portal

Yep i guess they kinda know nobody with right mind will do alot of summons so they refeature them in much more attractive covenant portal (xandrella jequn roz…)

He give attack boost to all allies not just for himself…

His comment was on his beta form before release (where his attack and cleanse were for fire allies only), as he was later buffed when the portal opened :slight_smile:
