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 may have went a little nuts with this one. Can’t wait to see how Marlin will do in rush. (I went with ATK/DEF for emblems.)

I would love to pull this girl! :heart_eyes: and tbh I don’t mind spending but to spend a ton and not get the hero I’m after could be my in game demise.

Good luck in the portals!
May all your tokens produce a smile!

I spent $3.99 and got Malin. Not too bad.

I just bought the 800 coin deal and tossed them to the portal.
I wasn’t honestly expecting much, and didn’t even bother checking the content before starting to pull.
And this girl popped up on 7th pull. I was like WTF?!!
At first sight I thought “aww she’s slow”. Then I started reading text, with each special I was mind blown. And it kept scrolling and scrolling

I’m still trying to digest

Does this mean that for dark heroes, the damage is 448 over 6 turns? Does this make sense?

8

We pointed out in beta that this text is confusing, so SG did their due diligence by ignoring us.

It adds damage as well as turns for dark. So, normal hero, 448 bleed over 4 turns is 448/4=112 per turn. For a dark hero, it can do a total of 112*6=672 damage. A better phrasing would be this:

  • All enemies receive 112 Bleed damage every turn for 4 turns. Against Dark characters, this status effect becomes uncleansable and lasts 2 turns longer.

She is slow but omg she’s gonna be devastating if anyone let’s her fire. I grabbed her today on a 10 pull, but I don’t have darts for her. Worst part of the game is waiting on mats lol

Myztero loves her and really wants to see defenses overflowing with her!

I pulled her yesterday, she is really great. I put her in my defense team, instead of Wolfgang. The results are very good, I stayed about 2800 cups over night, usually I dropped under 2700. Yes, she`s slow, but with help from Xnolphod and Manatroops, she can fire right in time :slight_smile:

Myztero will most probably get stomped by her

That indeed is the problem with Myztero
 when u want him to copy that ailments, he has to survive first
 which is from my personal experience quite unlikely, since his stats are not beefy enough. His class Rogue is absolutely unfitting, paladin with maximum defense would be better. You want him to get hit in order to reflect as much ailments as possible, so he should be a Taunter and a paladin class. Had no problem facing him and have problems using him, so Malin is no match for him.

Well here is the encounter i had so far with her. It was super close but I wasn’t even able to get my block up in time, so Malin’s ailments were in effect when Myztero sent them back.

With a block in place and with Zhabog to keep it going then Malin’s ailments will basically cripple her own team

My point of view is you get pretty lucky there and if attack 10 times on this guy with same team you should lose majority of them. Myztero is still out of meta even with damage buff

The buff was stupid and irrelevant. But Malin is exactly the hero that he was made to counter. Out of 10 he would win more than half for sure, as long as she is in one of the tank positions.

The more heroes that are released like Malin the more meta relevant he will become

19

we have ailments since forever and still Myz doesn’t shine
 he is too weak.Malin is not the first hero with that many or strong ailments, people said the same when Rayne was introduced. “my Myztero will welcome all of the raven clan members with open arms”. Never happened.

20

Myztero does very well vs Rayne and Quintin. He does very well against all strong ailment givers, including and especially Malin.

These guys just don’t make that big an appearcance in defenses though.
