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:

Looks cool. Slow though and blue, like purple, starts to be oversaturated with good 5* slows (Milady, C-Snow, Cao Cao, Porthos … oh wait, not Porthos).

I hope we’ll get Yamata no Orochi one day (and Oda Nobunaga).

Slow and only 9x170%? Look at the competition…
I pass this portal.

Happy gaming

170 X 9 could be 1530% to 1
Or 340% to 2, 170% to 1 and 660% to 1.
Etc

That’s pretty decent - especially with emblems.

Plus the attack up / attack down mix
Plus the passive chance for mana and health boost per buff (which he does one)
Plus resetting buffs and ailements.

Slow or not, he’s got potential to become much faster and neuter the opposition while buffing his friends.

Hero has potential in Rush. Imagine a Ludwig tank flanked by Nine Headed Beast and Frog Prince in Rush. Not only is your attack decreased, but mana gen gets hit too. Slap on a revive hero and a hero that can hit all enemies. Has potential

And then it hits 9 times…this will be the new alfrike on rush

Slow mana but he does a lot. So nice to have, but maybe still a pass for me on this portal. And isn’t Solstice tomorrow? Better to bet in that portal I guess?
