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Another OP joke released as $G desperately try to drive up revenue in an already outdated portal by flooding even more broken heroes into it to get the whales to haemorrhage even more cash.

Not bad but seems slow at average speed

put some mana/syx/magic troop and it can go off at 9 tiles

Can we just jump to the nerf now? We are looking at a hero who at average speed is matching (beating considering stat creep) cKillhare’s damage output with no downside. And with just two ailments, out damages even Khufu. With a potential to hit harder than any other hero in the game save for the slow Goseck

Especially, in a meta that already has cGuardian panther, Kemeny spells trouble for balance. Not even bothering trying for this Gargoyle until I see the inevitable balance change.

330% to all at average speed? 6 months ago I would be shocked, but right nowe - this should be expected. The pace of issuing stronger heroes is insane, this hero seems really strong in comparison to C Killhare, but she is already 9 months old. Compare this one to Anne or Jove and he does not seems to be overpowered.

The path that was chosen by SGG forces them to issue much stronger heroes than are already in the game in order to force ambitious players to spend if they want to keep up. I won’t be surprised if in 6 month we will see average, hit all over 350% hero.

Sad thing - with such strong heroes being issued, there is much less time to “play the board”. Either you have a good board and you win, or you have a bad one and you lose. That is what it will be like in near future.

Congrats for those who got that hero!!!

But for the rest of us, such a strong hero disturbs the power balance of the game

no more strategy and hero synergy is needed
 cause you don’t stand a chance
with old heroes let along the S1 ones even LB and with full emblems.

It should be fair that a hero with such power to be slow speed!

and strange is that he is buffed to 330% to all and max 655%

It is helped. Cause the Family Bonus only make the DoT 0
But still got the ailments.

I’m still in shock. because C leonidas average speed is only 240% hit all. Lol

Seems like he was considered too weak in beta, and needed a buff in damage output.

Nope. Beta test happened in Oct and feedback of the Beta version was between balanced and op. That been said, this hero’s release version got buffed by little.
