Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about "unfair pulls")

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.

Yeah, this game just needs blue faster Alfrike with special skill blocking immunity the first attack of which can be directed.

[Gargon]

I agree, looks like a spruced up version of Alfrike, but in the end that´s all it is. Alf has been phased out at top level though and I doubt this will make her come back, the game simply has moved on from this kind of rush defense. Outside the top 100 alliances this will be a strong hero for rush of course.

For offense this is a lot more interesting than Alfrike and I can see this being used there as the main issue of Alf (not hitting the 1 target she really needed to hit) being removed.

[Kenzo]

Looks like they altered his damage slightly, and also only hits 4 heroes instead of 5 now.

[Star150m]

the nerfs weren’t needed… i am disappointed with the changes.

[PlayForFun]

The OP now contains the changes.
Polls are now enabled.

[Gargon]

After the changes between beta and live version I am even less interested. I was doubtful before, but don´t think I would level this hero now.
Maybe if the game slows down more in the future this hero might become interesting for regular speed, but by then power creep will have made it obsolete anyway…

[Rojecco]

I had 10 tokens saved and got him in the 1st try. I didn’t realize he’s slow until now LOL.

I am working now on Frida so he’ll not be levelled by now. He could be useful in Rush and maybe events.

[Frostbite]

Happy to get him but I needed a strong red hero for my Titan team. Well I’m working on Starwalker so he is next in line.

I like the mindless attack and mindless heal will hopefully keep the team alive.

[Dr_Evil_Genius]

I got this hero as part of the “Perfect 10” bonus.

Because I have a backlog of highly-powerful Ice heroes (Timius/Starwalker/Fermin Richard) to work on, this hero might be stuck never getting past 3/70 (like Guardian Hippo).

Best case, I get a LOT more Scopes than I’ve been getting and will go to 4/80 to put on Rush defense.

One positive note:

@Gargon really nailed the crowning achievement of this hero. The ability to choose one of the targets puts this hero above Alfrike IMO—even with the loss of one of the attacks via release version nerf.

[SuperBinksy-Filou]

Same as Cupido but slow speed why ?
There is no significant change to justify such a change !
CUPIDO hits at 295% at average speed
KABEIROI hits at 200% at slow speed

I am missing something ?

[Inkblot]

Cupido hits 3, this gal can potentially hit up to 4 different heroes.

[SuperBinksy-Filou]

Bro do the maths
CUPIDO hits up to 3x295% =885 % average speed
KABEIROI hits up to 4x200% = 800 % slow speed

Something is definitively wrong with this hero !
He should hits at least 5 times or works at average speed !!

[Rojecco]

I’ve been testing him and he usually hits 3 -hitting some targets twice - he rarely distributes hits among four enemies.

[Nightmare2048]

Well, chances of him hitting 4 different targets are 1 * 0.8 * 0.6 * 0.4 = 0.192 = 19.2% (assuming everyone is alive). His added value is he’s guaranteed to do 4 hits (meaning that he hits 4 times, not 4 different targets), while Cupido might hit only 2 or even only one target. On offense he will hit all once tank is down, while Cupido can strike 2 at most.

Still not sure if this is enough to justify the speed rank bump down.

[Inkblot]

Her primary goal is the mindless heal not damage. Similar to Quintus C2, they would unlikely make heroes that can potentially mindless attack/heal more than 3 opponents average or faster mana speed. Would be great if she can hit all at slow but then some people would start to complain it’s OP; even outside of rush wars. That’s what I think their logic was with these heroes.

[Kenzo]

@Inkblot

Would be great if she can hit all at slow but then some people would start to complain it’s OP

Oh yes this is what they did to C2Quintus during beta and everyone said he was OP so they brought him down to 3. I think it would be fine if there wasn’t a rush mode, as it’s manageable in general PvP but then probably the most godly ability in rush.

[dusko_m]

I think math is a bit off in this case because after first hit, he is guaranteed to hit different enemy. Description is a bit contradictory and we’ll need testing to make sure in how his mechanics works. Right now, i am more convinced that he will hit four different enemies if all enemies are alive

[Nyup]

Summoned him just now. Quite pleased as it boosts my mana control options for rush war (and a hard to stop one at that give his passive resistance to silence), and I also have cAriel which makes him functionally average speed if i want to use him elsewhere.

Did a quick test and it looks like the hits are random after the first hit (and second hit to another random enemy). On the below screenshot only Kage and Baldur have been hit. Regardless, the ability to pick a target makes him more valuable than Alfrike on attack for me.
