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:

He‘s one of the worst event 5* ever. Guess who pulled him…. What a huge dissapointment. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Got two of him. Great for Titans and good for rush I think. Not the best of the bunch, but still glad I got him.

I pulled 3, it feels gross lol.

So does anyone see use for him outside of titans?

I don‘t know tbh - I barely used Jott for Titans, so I don’t think I find use for him at all. Even for Rush I think he is below average. Let‘s hope for a buff in the near future. But I think his whole design is broken. :man_shrugging:

So sad to hear that this is a poo hero.

When I used 300 gems to make a single pull, and got him, I was happy. I thought, “Not bad. An event 5* hero, rather than I spend 300 gems and pull a Bane or Berden.”

I have some very good fast and medium blues, but no real slow hard hitters, except for Theobald (who’s unleveled). So I think I can really use this guy on my fast wars attack team. As usual it depends on your roster, but I’ll use him for that. I have Jott and Alexandrine also, so let’s see about titans.

365% damage to all is still very respectable, especially when you compare that to Isarnia’s 235%.

If you used only 300 gems to pull him (aka 1 summon) I would not be disappointed. He’s not necessarily a poo hero, he’s just the least desirable in this portal for most people (but still more desirable than many other 5* heroes out there). Best of luck!

Thanks, @Kenzo.

Yes. I was so so so lucky after getting Season I 3* heros for so long (in other previous summon portals).

Didn’t felt like doing multiple oulls for this summons, so controlled myself to do a max 2 pulls, but 1st pull was Porthos, so I stopped. < I have video as proof. :slight_smile: >

Yes, for this portal, I think everybody would be chasing after Queen Anne. :slight_smile:

But like the rest of the members mentioned here, think Porthos is only useful for Rush Attacks Wars and perhaps to fight Titan.

Well, like you said, I should not be too disappointed, since I got him with just 300 gems.

Thanks, Kenzo.

I wouldn’t mind getting this guy… I’ve never had any luck with getting the tile altering heros but I think he has potential… look at Frigg or a better comparison Octros…he’s just slow and everyone is chasing fast these days.
Congratulations!

There’s usually one questionable egg in a portal…Porthos is it, I’m not sure how I would feel if I pulled him :joy:

14

Managed to get Porthos from the portal. One of my favorites from that 1990’s 3 Musketeers movie (the one with Tim Curry and the awesome soundtrack…Bryan Adams, Sting & Rod Stewart). Anyway, not bad, not great, not game changing, but he does make the titan team because of the tile buff. I wonder if he’ll be okay to overtake Jott at 3/70 or if he needs to be maxed and emblemed.

Thank you for your encouragement, Vortex. :slight_smile:

Hero desirability talks here or anywhere are MAINLY based on roster options.

Porthos is a good hero for being part of the Musketeer family with that unique bonus,

His special is good, though I wasn’t very enthused ….realised bcoz of my roster options & wanted Aramis.

Finally, I have 83 five stars levelled up & many highly desired ones I have hardly used :grinning:
&
Basing hero relevance on the speed…. without looking at the special / overall package is comical…

  • Khufu hasn’t stopped :rofl::rofl: since his speed based talk…:wink:

I’m sorry, but every time I see this guy’s special skill animation, I get irritated.
Pour mead into a glass and hurl it at enemies to deal damage and enhance ice tiles on the board? This is incomprehensible.

I just continue to strike in blue. First Exeera, then Porthos. I just barely dodged Klaern. Pulling him would make the real three musketeers!

Completely agree. I would love to get an event hero from one single pull

You can use him for titans, for VF and even in other situations depending on your roster
