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:

I just got him. Is he any good?

He is average, both on damage and effects. He doesn’t provide any unique skill either.

5

I got him too. I will max him purely so i have an extra hero for the towers etc

6

Can anyone clarify his passive vs ice please:

States the burn is uncleanseable and last 2 turns longer, but doesn’t mention any increase in the burn damage itself.
Does the burn itself increase 50%, along with the duration, or does it dilute the DoT?

Probably the difference in making him kinda, versus absolutely not, useable but there’s a family bonus to consider.

7

I’ve just tested it, it increases the damage for 2 turns. Lemminkainen 1/1 vs any enemy 80 burn damage, vs blue enemies 20 damage per turn for 6 turns for a total of 120.

I feel that lemminkainen’s only purpose right now is to be paired with mielekki so that she gets more fire defence. This guy really has nothing much to offer

I really want to like this hero… But still didn’t find purpose to max him. He’s sitting on 1-1 since Kalevala.
