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:

Hippo’s :four_leaf_clover: Astral cousin….

She’s one of the more unique heroes in this portal. She’s meant to stop continuous special spamming and can be used to punish fast teams.

I think she will be good in counter mana boosted team and Ludwig as well

Uh-oh, I thought he’s Guardian Hippo but in Green, but he’s in fact Inverse Guardian Hippo but in Green. This guy will be much more useful on offense, where you can just let the enemy AI do itself in. On defense one charged dispeller is all it takes to turn him off.

I will love to see him in defenses and steal his buff and slap the enemies back. Excellent mechanic to punish enemies for firing. All the best to those who pull for him.

Moonflower and Garten should work very well together.

Hippo-like damage, riposte and healing. Strong support duo.

Would love to see anyone who’s come across him on defense

It would be amazing if Luna’s per turn mana reduction ability counted as casting a Special Skill :bomb:

I got him but think he will sit on the bench for a bit until I’ve seen some videos. Maybe in a passive team with a lot of support he’d be good - I don’t think I’d want my team to absorb those specials just to deal his damage. A fast 35% mana buff is sweet though.

I think pair him with a taunter, a mindless, and a couple of supporters.
Casting mindless counts, so no harm to your team.

Interesting special, but I am a little bit skeptical to how well it will work

Doing max 20 pulls in this portal anyway, so probably doesn’t matter what I think :sweat_smile:

Got it, not sure what to think right now. Definitely a pvp designed hero. I think against a support heavy team with a taunt would be their best use, as it would still trigger Moon and wouldn’t hurt your heroes as much. Be even better if you have a mindless, but unfortunately I don’t have any of those leveled up right now.

Probably get to 3/70 and try it out on some friendly matches to see if I want to go further. Tonics are low and want to keep my options open. Happy about the Sparklight bonus too, I think he’s good.

I think Moonflower on offense will be great. Just been working with using Ludwig with Alfrike and Kullervo flanked with wings of Moonflower and Phenexa. Moonflower isn’t leveled very high but once the mindless attack when and Phenexa keeping Ludwig and Moonflower going it ended very quickly

Same as mine!

But for me, I got Sparklight first and then Moonflower as a bonus.

I did level up Sparklight first because I have been waiting for a great red for ages.

Compared to the Hippo or various goblins that have auto-reattack abilities, Moonflower is too weak, albeit fast.
Useless for farming.
Conditionally useful in PvP or war.
It lacks either the damage or another attribute to support the team in order to be competitive with the strong meta as a new hero.
In principle, the hero is a great new creation that urgently needs some improvement. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
