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:

This chick wasn’t well thought out. If the duration of ailments is reset after she fires, why does she give an ailment instead of a buff?

4

Feel like this one is going to be the best from this pool. My guess is people are going to downplay her usefulness until they realize how busted she is with certain combos like Kullervo.

Very much so the usefulness of resetting ailment lengths is huge. Skill useable in both Def & attk.

Just got 2 Papyros chasing the cat. If I’m lucky enough to pull this one I’ll raise him.

Narsica, Horus / Papyros, C. Rumple, Lewena, Green 3 Kindgoms dude will be my defense I think.

I think she should do something else, maybe reshuffling like akkorog. So that she can synergize her skills with Winifred

8

Well she’s been buffed upon her released, she now does 240% damage to all enemies (not 200%). @PlayForFun can you please update? :slight_smile:

@PlayForFun Her name is misspelled in the Thread title, it’s Narcisa not Narsica

The OP is adjusted with these:

  • The passive is now affects enemies only so allies no longer affected.
  • The family bonus is reworded, and now realms are included too.
  • Damage is increased to 240% from 200%.

The typo is also fixed everywhere.

Narcisa is basically Morel on steroids. (Morel himself being an amazing AoE hero)

13

Morel has defense down, not attack down. But both are great :+1:

happy gaming

Ah! it is indeed. Quickly glanced earlier and immediately thought of Morel with the way the special skills were written & being executed.

Managed to pull her!

Was hoping to get Rhys and she tagged along.

Continue working on louhi, or her (the family bonus is great)

Agree that she is a great hero and A+. As any great hero, she is very strong but still balanced. In best case you can get her full potential in offense and if the enemy doesn’t have any hero that cleans up after her e.g. Milena.

I wish I had her and do some testing :blush:

Happy gaming

Zhabog is a pretty good alternative for 2 main SS she has ailments reset and the 5% bard family mana boost.

@PlayForFun
Question regarding this mana increase reduction…

Does this affect all enemies from the start or only after she fires? Isn’t this the same for Rhys?

If it’s from the start, then I’ll have to seriously consider giving her tabs (already planning on giving darts to Rhys.)

It effects all enemies from the start and while she is alive. As you can see here, she has not fired her special yet and it has already trigger once Xnolphod fired his special skill.
