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 feels weak. All of these ailments which isn’t even that strong, with a miserable 120% damage to three at average speed. At least POTO deals a ton of damage
Imagine doing all these at average and having Mist do it way better than him at fast, and she’s a three year old hero

He does way too little. His stats don’t compliment his skills. He has way too high attack but his skill damage is abysmal. His ailments are too weak. Only thing you use him is the buff immunity, but he’s too slow to apply that. You have to pray he procs his fighter all the time for the dance to stay on
Like what is the point to this hero? I hope I am proven wrong
If his dance and skill damage is AOE, then it makes sense

@Tidyup is the dance still active if the revive procs?

Never thought about that.

Still think this hero needs a speed or damage buff.

I pulled him together with a second Neema with saved coins. I think he’s pretty far back on the list of things to max…

Got him, and glad he will be a good friend on Fosco on the bench, for long long time haha

If he fires right before or after the enemy fires, he would negate their buffs so that is pretty useful. He might be more of a support hero with the damage a small bonus, but I do think his speed should be fast.

Can Faiez, Ptolemy or C2Sabina protect against his dance ? OR his dance will always remove ailment-protection ?

The opera dancers dance skill are different from gazelle’s, they’re still subjected to buff immunities or ailment shields

Of course i would get him too…
If they made him fast
Or raise the damage from 120 to 200
Then maybe.
But as he is… Just food

So… I figure he wasn’t worthy of playing against 5* the way i get some use out of mist sergei anastasia kiril… But maybe he’ll be fine against other 4*. I have ferent in front of him… So hopefully one of y’all can find a synergy that makes him good.
