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:

im not a fan, not really effective for a slow hero when any average or slow cleanser is a direct counter

4

Yes, he needs to have skills changed.

He is a weaker version of Malin in every sense.
Less dmg, less DOT (and scalling starting low which is even weaker since cleanse early solves bigger chunks of dmg), less ailments and none of which are uncleansable (Malin has two uncleansable effects)…

Really dont understand, what they tried with this hero… Worse Mallin? Great selling point!
Atleast give him different abilites for him to give him different use :slight_smile:

Compared to him, Porthos looks like a beast

Every portal needs a dud. Like peppermint is at xmas portal recently.

He’s balanced but other heroes aren’t, and that’s makes him a problem when actually overpowered crazy craps are the problem.

That’s what happens when a game balance is totally corrupted.

He got beefed up to 370% to all with the same 543 bleed damage and healing starting at -70% instead of -60%. In addition, the Hunter’s Sense passive gives 12% health if no status ailments are available, which is increased from 3%.

These changes made him worth ascending (for me at least)

On top of him being slow, his ailments are scaling, there is no time for that. If he was fast he made sense

370 to all plus 543 bleed, reduced healing,
Him being a red makes it easy pair him with another red hero that burns. Throw in defense down and other ailments, i’ll take him🤷‍♂️

Anymore or faster, y’all will scream for a nurf, or complain that he’s behind a paywall and only whales will get him :roll_eyes:

Well, I got him and debating should I ascend him or c Gefjon first.

12

Interesting question, love too see some feedback.
C-Gedjon looks more impressive on the card. I don’t have any of those so I can’t test.

Happy gaming

I have both, none of the ascended, but I would do C. Gefjon first in a beat. She is fast and hits three hard and also very helpful against minion heroes such M&M. Otis is slow and I don’t see him very useful outside rush.

I am leaning towards c Gefjon too although I have Topaz already maxed and Cupcake and captain of diamonds. Sadly, can’t get c gormek

I think it depends the level of your usual opponents. Cupcake is a sniper, so it will only steal one minion. Not very useful against heroes that give very beefy minions to all. Captain of Diamonds destroys the minions, but he is a 4* (as Cupcake) that is quite old and the stats are very weak if you plan to use him against emblemed and limit broken 5*.

Topaz is great, but in this meta is good to have at least 6 good minion counters (one for each war team). I have Grimble, Bera, Alucard, Skadi, C Gormek and I still feel it’s not enough.

I agree Otis is a dud, but let’s not get carried away calling Porthos a beast in any context. Maybe porthos would be better than Otis for titans…but not much else.

When one of the newest event 5-star heroes is barely better than an old Valhalla 4-star hero, it’s pretty sad - Porthos doesn’t even look like a beast compared to Jott.

Titans aren’t my thing, so I’d gladly trade my Porthos for an Otis.
