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:

Literally billions of possible titles and art designs, yet these mofos chose to put this discount ‘Luke Cage meets Village People’ in “chains of light”. I mean…bruh

The “available for the first time” is killing me!!!

Solid stats could be great on offense decent on Titan!

13

Yea, i like him. He will obliterate purple mono teams. I feel like people forget how high his atk stat is to multiply against his ability stat. He is going to deal a lot of damage to purple teams like eset does. I don’t think he is op or anything, but i like his ability, and his picture reminds me of Underbite from the venture brothers cartoon, so i love that. The guys who are hating on the art must not know who they were trying to make him look like.

It’s just a reminder to field rainbow in defenses lol, otherwise too many elementals that can be devastating

The OP is adjusted with the january balance update.

Do you guys think he is worth the mats? I pulled him today and I do not know what to think about him.

I think he can be good on Attack. However really don’t see him doing well on defense. Average Sniper that can also hit other dark with - mana regen is actually not that good IMO

Reason you never see him on defense. Good to bring against a purple tank potentially but still with all the Immunities, dodges,taunts, etc an average sniper really won’t do it.

Still think he needs a rework and some adjustments to his special skills. Staying at 2/60 for me

So I got this guy, and I wonder if he would work well with salmon Loki ? Like would the extra targets and damage help offset the random? It’s the fish worth using a fated summon on ?

19

I think he’s an improvement from Jana (who gets good ratings) so he’s a decent hero, just not up there with a lot of other more OP heroes :thinking:

he is great hero on attack yes
on defense not so but think about how many great heroes(dark) will not be used as this is main tactic if he us in defense

so there is no strong board tilea against him and actually that is great on defense as you don’t know what is worst not to go with dark hero or to go

debufd mana gen to all is actually now great if you ask me and don’t forget elemental shields firing all rhe time
