Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

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.

Just got this one.

[Maciurella]

Tested him in beta.
Not good, not bad.
Game Well

[Steve1]

So this is my only dragon that isn’t 3*, but honestly I’m missing a reason to level him. Anyone want to educate me?

[Sternman]

The thing is there are not a lot of alternative options among the dragons. 3 of each color per rarity level.

Nimblewing may not inspire awe or even a great deal of joy, but, for now as your only 4* it will help you with the quests and even the map stages can be tricky if you don’t get matches in the magnifying space.
The extra mana could make one of your slow mana dragons (Krio at the very least) a bit speedier which never hurts.

Most of the AoE dragons need to hit twice to three times to kill a dragon of similar rarity, the AoE with a snipe can take out some of the partially leveled or a wounded opponent.

It feels so different to the current state of the main game where the newer AoE heroes hit for higher % damage than older snipers from a much higher attack stat.

[Wraith]

Hits like a wet noodle, so weak and needs a buff to do anything beyond meh.

[Rincewind]

His special may be weak but I find his assist skill to be the most useful of all 4* dragons. 300 heal and 10% atk + def over 5 turns are much better then the usual minor hot or dot effects. A welcome addition to the autofarm team. For that reason I maxed him first. After all the whole Dragonspire is just meh and I play the main game for most of the time.
