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:

The hero card is updated with the changes.
Polls are now enabled.

I don’t like the fact she has no mechanisms that make Garrison hero a Garrison hero - No MM on special skill use. At least Frank summons one.

Iocantha doesn’t either. They summon at start of game from their passive

Is this hero any good? Better than current HOTM? Just pulled it with Kettle. Fun times

Does anyone know how his bleed dmg works? For example if you pair him with, Shimmerscale, will his bleed dmg do extra 50% dmg too or just Pips?

Ailment amplifies bleed damage in general from everyone. But be careful, if you fire Shimmerscale after Pip, Shimmerscale’s bleed damage will overwrite Pip’s.

Jajajaja the same :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Removed, made some wrong assumptions on his stats]

2 random targets can also be a great advantage in many cases instead of normal hit 3…

-Vs taunters, that means 2 extra hits, where hit three hero will throw away 66% of dmg away…

  • if middle hero is already out, hit three hero can only hit max 2 heroes
  • titans, mythic titans , or vs only one target, hit 2 random targets also perform much better
  • for applying ailments…

Imagine pip, telonius and Franz. Add c phileas fogg. The bleed damage will be off the charts

All bleed damage so would be great if paired with shimmerscale

Thats a synergy that could work, but my preferred partners to Pip would be from the same family. Shimmer, Violet and the new Dima. All are sturdy, 3 incredible MM damage and the enhanced DOT just gets too much.

Just pulled her. Super happy. Will pair with Daroga for mayhem :grin:

Ooh, just finishing Hilda. Another great combo which also increases heal. Will Hilda’s bleed-heal work on any bleed (buff) or is it an ailment specific to that bleed? Will increase regardless but need to be careful with Daroga in the mix

Pip good? 1050% combined damage…

Wasn’t Pip one of hobbits in LOTR btw?
Really good hero
