:thought_balloon: What do you think of Kravekrush ?

This thread is for thoughts and discussion on Kravekrush.

Based on preferences Forum members have expressed, please try to stick mainly to Kravekrush and not wander off topic too much to other heroes.

*NOTE: Summon Results posted without any commentary/feedback at all should be flagged as Off Topic and removed, based on preferences expressed by the Forum community. Please include some comments about what you think of Kravekrush when posting Summon Results. In addition to opinions about Kravekrush, you are also encouraged to include how many Summons it took before receiving Kravekrush (or how many Summons you’ve done without receiving Kravekrush), so other players are presented with realistic experiences of the rarity of Legendary Event Hero.


:money_with_wings: Avoiding Overspending & Heartache :broken_heart:
Or: How many summons are needed to get a Legendary Challenge Event Hero?

It’s important to remember that Challenge Event Heroes have EXTREMELY low summoning odds. No amount of summoning will guarantee a Challenge Event Hero.

On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 1.65% chance of summoning Kravekrush.

But that statistic can lead our minds astray in exactly how our odds play out as we continue summoning.

Some useful insights:

  • 15 times out of 100, you’ll get Kravekrush by pull 100 (26,000 gems)
  • 56 times out of 100, you’ll get Kravekrush by pull 500 (130,000 gems)
  • 95 times out of 100, you’ll get Kravekrush by pull 1,796 (467,200 gems)
  • 99 times out of 100, you’ll get Kravekrush by pull 2,761 (717,900 gems)

Putting that in Perspective

  • 85 out of every 100 people won’t get Kravekrush by the 100th pull

  • If 1 Million players each spent $259.97 (US) to summon :one::zero::zero: times, 846,364 of those players wouldn’t get Kravekrush

  • 5 out of every 100 people won’t get Kravekrush by the 1800th pull

  • If 1 Million players each spent $4,671.53 US to summon :one::eight::zero::zero: times, 49,663 of those players wouldn’t get Kravekrush

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:


:thinking: Wondering About Your Personal Situation?

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

If you’d like more extensive advice on sorting out your particular roster, I recommend creating a new thread in Gameplay Help & Tactics, and posting screenshots of your hero roster, along with your questions.

Stats a bit underwhelming… Preventing the enemy from reviving is new and would be important but can you afford to bring him for that sole purpose against MN Ludwig Xeno Krampus Pengi? :petri_dish:

I really like this hero! Unique anti revival skills… I’d happily take him.

@Ham.Cheese I use my fully emblemed and LB 4* heroes against 5* teams so I think I’d use him in a red stack against MN. I can see him paired up with my BK :slightly_smiling_face:

I really want him!

Good luck everyone for tomorrow’s summons

I usually take Mitsuko for these teams, so the main damage dealer will be neutralized. So, he would nicely complement the red stack.

Nonetheless, great mechanic, especially in red, because all of the main revivers are green. Very welcomed hero, especially to stop this ludicrous chain of resurrections in VF wars.

To note - March HOTM is also red, has a similar fire mechanic, but a bit stronger hit.

Guys this hero is to be taken because he will be the first hero with such a skill! Consider that there is no other hero who can prevent MN or Alberich for example, from resurrecting their allies. Fantastic!!! And don’t forget the blow he is able to throw !!! I think he’s obviously an attacking hero only!

So as Monk costume MN still has a 30% chance to block his skill and can still revive others? His skill would prevent others from resurrecting themselves or resurrecting from status effects such as the zombie ones, but already dead heroes wouldn’t have anything preventing MN from bringing them back.

2 Likes

If the team has more than 2 revivers then yes, if MN monk skill blocked the status effect she can be revive if she’s killed.

Well I think the monk’s talent is correct that it can continue to manifest itself. In any case, Kravekrush remains a hero for now one of a kind and in my opinion, a hero to have.

I love seeing new and unique skills so I’d love to have him! I haven’t had much luck getting S4 5* heroes (only 1 so far) so I hope we see an HOTM with this skill in a slightly different construction so it can be a more widely available talent.

He will not be a hero of the month but the last or the penultimate hero of season 4. There are rumors that they also bring out a legendary purple hero, but nothing is certain. We’ll see…

I understand. I’m saying they should design a future HOTM with blocking of revivals.

On paper, he seems useful. But in reality, if you can fire an average speed hero, why not just kill the opponents and win? For VF wars, he should be more useful.

I wish he was another color. MN, Heim and Alby are the all green revivers. Wouldn’t you rather bring a strong red sniper to just kill them? I’d like to have him for Rush tournaments, but not extremely useful elsewhere.

1 Like

Agreed. With MN, Alby, and Heimdall being Slow there are plenty of options to knock the reviver out first. Not saying Krave wouldn’t be useful but I really see his value in Rush more than anything else.

Yes, but this opens up flexibility, you don’t have to target the reviver first, perhaps you want to take out a taunt hero first

Also I’ve seen triple reviver teams. There will always be a use for a unique counter even if it doesn’t fit your style of play.

Its a very nice color anyway most revivers are green, so hes a perfect counter and the skill is very good against a mother north or alby…. I want him but will not chase him

Indeed it does, but again his value to me is more in Rush as opposed to normal fights as I have a decent number of options to bring against teams with revivers.

The card in the portal has different specials and passive,
It should read:

  • All enemies can’t revive their allies or themselves for 5 turns.
  • All enemies can’t receive status effects that would resurrect them for 5 turns.
  • Deals 430% damage to the target and minor damage to the nearby enemies.

The passive is: Start Battle With Mana - This Hero receives 20% mana at the start of battle.

His anti revive is nice, but still niche. There arent THAT many revivers and MN isnt dominating on defenses anymore. Just feels like there are stronger reds I can give my mats to that would be useful in more places personally.
