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 freaking cleric healer…

this is a fine hero… not especially overpowered… but fine. Kinda makes the owl portal seem inconsequential since the best owl in the game was found @ the mighty pets portal… so… way to pump out… not trash… but nothing especially worthwhile.

Wow this one is strong :open_mouth:

Want this owl - this one will be annoying on defense and super supportive on attack

Yeah much better now that the cleanse is to all heroes, and also a better boost too :thinking:

Nautica, Pophit, Marisol… all those blue heroes and generally a lot of good blues around this time. I won’t be pulling here as I don’t have any scopes and they not even offer any

Got her first thing in the morning. This doesn’t surprise me. These owls and I are connected like OVO, incredible trackers finding me like the first 48.

First blues 5* healer

pulled 2 Mariols but got mixed feelings about him… not a single one in top100 teams, probably nautica/chang’e fits better to current w3k meta

OMG! 2? 2? I can’t even get one and I need a blue boosted healer bad. Only have the base Ariel and using Kiril with the boosted heal.

I have a question. Can’t figure out if a mechanic is broken or I am not seeing it correctly.

Opposing team:

Scorpion lady (purple)
Mariol
Sha Wujin
Phorcys
Chang’e

How the F is protection against special skills damage 7 rounds and Sha’s Dodge applied extended to Five rounds? What mechanic is causing this, I can’t see it. This should not stack!?? Or is Mariol causing an error on mechanics here?


read the family bonus, it extends duration of buffs with 3 additional rounds

Thank you, i did not catch Chang’e/ journey family bonus. Enlightended!

It’s the most broken family bonus in the game.

This owl is just way too weak compared to Nautica and HathorC so you wont find it in meta defence.
In offence this one is weaker even than Milena, flat healers w/o any means of mana increase are useless.
I dont know who are those ppl who wote for OP in poll. It’s just On par with most If not worth. Just a mediocre healer with a very high stats.

The moonrise ward is huge. It forces you to bring a dispeller, it reduces your AOE hitters to around 1 to 200 damage per hero… Don’t ignore how good mariol is because you haven’t used the mr ward
