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.

…and I thought Wulfstan was bad!
(Nope…I don’t have him… don’t want him either!)
So I could bring a dispeller and pretty much not worry about insanity hitting my team
Well, at least they dodge all specials (and not just specials that deal damage)…so even non damage dealing dispellers such as Violet Potts / Melendor / Sabina / Blossom etc are at risk.
Worse though, a buff block / greed would render her pretty much useless other than the direct damage…but don’t think anyone would want to bring her just for the 450% damage at slow mana, especially since she gets a hefty 55 insanity after the first cast
Also, why?? Why are they doing this with the newer Shadow heroes?! Makes them even less appealing
10 insanity for dodge is more fair I believe, every attack could possibility make him/herself from 10 to 100 insanity dependent to the number of dodges.
max dodges is 5 from most common special skills… that’s 50 insanity … most of the time 2 or 3 heroes will dodge…
it is impossible to get 100 insanity on a target except extremely unlucky farrah
the reward isn’t worth the risk of 55 self insanity
Big big hit nice heal on top of it and doging for 5 turns with cumulative insanity. Pair her with 2 or more healers to help mitigate the self insanity (i run 2 - 3 healers anyway) and she is a devastating attack/support hero
Still shocked they made her worse at release than pre release. I guess now that secret heroes aren’t a .01% chance they are like “F it, release them as garbage now we’ve spent enough time on them”
