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:

Slow and has chance to do harmful effect. 10% chance but still you have to get 12 or 11 tiles and then it may even backfire. I don’t already like (C-)Rumple and he has all positive (and for Costume pretty powerful) effects. This looks like 5* Danza. The goblin should do what normal kettle does and go back to the kitchen.

He is one of the worst event heroes ever released - incredibly weak hero

Just there for a “poisoned” second 5* pull

Agreed with previous comments. Kinda’ ridiculous why devs torture people, caz’ that’s basically sadism. There are fresh, new, strong heroes, BUT ! there is one even if you summon, you can’t do anything with it.
And they can even make that worse! Random factor not enough, so let’s make him slow… -.-

At least if you pull him, you get a bonus goblin that is better where as when you pull a dud in any other portal that’s it :laughing:

Probably the weakest hero they’ve ever released seen in relation to the hero pool at the time of release.

Don’t worry guys he will get a buff later. They always buff newer heroes when their portals suck but they want to squish some more money from players

Lol garbage. The first two effects are nowhere near strong enough to warrant the terrible third effect nor the slow speed. We have average speed heroes who are better. Wtf SG?

This exactly. I cant understand why they put in the negative 1/3rd part when the heal is nice but not as nice as Cleo but the attack thing is really decent. I think this is a total failure of a hero

wonder of they released this pile of hot ■■■■ on purpose - maybe as another troll move to the player base - matching the theme of this event :sweat_smile:

what was the feedback in beta for this crappy hero? feedback should have been devastating

this would be one of the weakest heroes of the month during that time when sg didnt give a ■■■■ an just released the worst possibly heroes as heroes of the month (fortunately some of the more recent have been a lot more useful)

I pulled this guy as the bonus goblin today and wow… he sucks, bad. If it was 95% damage and 5% bad outcome then maybe… but we all know 10% bad outcome is really 85% bad outcome in this game. Maybe he has a place in a joke defense with salmon loki

So he’s the bastard child of the nipple monkey and Rumple with a scoop of Mok-Arr.

I love random. Not sure what I’d do if I got him though.

Just checked the beta topic. Out of 20 comments a single one liked it as it was.

The rest either wanted to get rid of special number 3 or change the speed.

Wow, thanks for a waste of a hero. We shouldn’t even spend money on this garbage. Ridiculously strong heroes out there and this is an option!? Come on…
